“I have always had oily skin and problems with acne all my life.
I started using this serum and within a few weeks I could see the difference it made to my skin my skin was clearer, less congested, smoother and with finer lines. I use it morning and evening and I think it's wonderful my skin has never been better”
“I am 61 years of age and was recommended to try Brightly and Nightly by a professional in sun care.
I have now been using Brightly - the day serum - for about 10 days and am delighted with the results. My skin is clear and looks fresh, with a very healthy glow.
I am holding off the Nightly for now as I have a little stock of a retinol product which I have been using for a few months (it’s too expensive to throw away), but I have ordered the Dr Sam cleanser, moisturiser and SPF package.
Dr Sam - please can you do an eye cream?”
“It does not absorb at all and pills on its own, leaving white stripes, the formula may have changed the first bottle I used it worked well but since then I have repurchased twice and none of them worked”
“Having purchased multiple different serums that have all aggravated my skin, I was nervous of ‘throwing more money away’….but after a month of adding brightly into my routine, it has made such a visible difference without any breakouts or irritation to my skin. I also use flawless cleanser, nightly, moisturiser and sunscreen which I highly recommend.
I used to have a few breakouts, especially with recent mask wearing, and nothing seemed to keep skin completely happy, but now it is glowing and smooth and feel confident going make up free.”
“I’m 60 years old with redness, breakouts and large pores (sounds appealing eh?).
I read about this product and ordered it. I live in the USA so it took awhile to arrive. From the moment I used it my husband noticed how nice my skin looked. I am very very impressed. I have stopped using retinol because it didn’t do anything for breakouts (mask wearing doesn’t help either). I now have to make sure I don’t run out. I don’t want my skin to go back to the way it was before.”
“I know that a lot of people say this but, I really wanted to like this product. A seasoned skincare and active-ingredients user, I was charmed by the ingredient list: azelaic acid, vitamin C, bakuchiol, niacinamide-- what's not to like? I watched Dr Sam's video and followed her application instructions religiously: I took the time to rub it all in, I used the right amount, I let it sit for heaven knows how long. Unfortunately, the formula is very disappointing. It doesn't sink in the skin no matter how much I rub in or how long I let it sit. Instead, it just starts flaking around my peach fuzz and leaves a residue that will last all day. No matter the benefits of the ingredients, they are all lost because the serum just feels like a bad sunscreen that I can't wait to wash off in the evening. It even cancels out the glow that my moisturiser normally gives me. Given how K-beauty or other dermatology brands can give you azelaic acid serums with a flawless formula for half the price, I don't feel that this is worth the money at all. I am looking forward to finishing this serum and switching back to my old azelaic acid serum.”
“I’m so disappointed. I’ve yet to find a way to use this without it pilling. Feel like chucking it in the bin. Will use it up but definitely won’t repurchase. On the plus side, I love the cleanser”
“I use all of the Dr Sam system, having been to see her and Dr Emma with help and guidance for my sensitive skin. I have a small amount of stubborn pigmentation and I tend to use Brightly at night and alternate it with Nightly. My pigmentation has virtually cleared and my skin looks nourished and glowing at age 57. So much appreciation for what you do Dr Sam, no nonsense ‘does what it says’ products. Thank you ❤️”
