“I’ve only been using this a couple of days and it seems like it has triggered my peroral dermatitis. I can’t be 100% sure, but it’s the only thing that has changed. I have followed the instructions to the letter.”
Hi Lisa, we're sorry that you had this experience while using our products. It can take some time for the skin to adjust to new products, especially those containing the active ingredients found in our serums (such as retinoids). The key is to start using smaller amounts less often and build gradually. You can also apply the serums on top of freshly cleansed and moisturised skin (or just buffer dry areas with a moisturiser) then apply another layer of moisturiser on top of the serum. A layer of moisturiser before the serum can be a great way for your skin to adjust to a new product, however now that your skin appears sensitised we'd recommend pausing use of any actives and we've got in touch directly to provide further assistance.
“I am glowing! These products are amazing! Nothing has had such a positive effect on my skin, ever!
My pores are closing and my skin is so smooth. I’m actually receiving compliments on my skin which has never happened before!”
“I have perioral dermatitis I’ve stripped backed my skincare routine to the starter kit it’s helping loads but still had to get antibiotics from the dr”
“I bought this kit for my daughter as I already use some of Dr Sam's products. The sizes are sufficient to decide whether the products are suitable for your particular skin and the number of products provided are a great introduction to the range. My daughter is now a convert.”
“I loved all the products but I give 3 stars because of the amount of product they had inside....I prefer to try before I order the big size but especially brightly serum had almost nothing inside! It is a shame really for all the money that I spend and all the days that I was expecting for the kit to come to Greece!”
Hi Maria, thank you for reaching out to us. We apologise for any disappointment you may have experienced with our 7ml products. We understand that some of the products in the kit may give the impression of being less than fully filled. However, we want to assure you that the volume of product in milliliters, as indicated on the packaging, is accurate for each tube. To comply with legal regulations, we are required to include comprehensive product information, usage instructions, and a complete ingredients list on each tube within the kit. This necessitated the tubes to be of a certain size to accommodate all mandated details. It's important to note that if used as directed, the trial kit is designed to last for approximately 1-2 weeks. We hope this explanation provides clarity.
