“Been using for nearly 2 months, I have rosacea and it doesn’t seem to flare it. Definitely had a bad purge but that’s settled now. Waiting to see with consistency if this helps keep my hormonal acne clear”
“Finished my first tube and about to order my second! I find this product so effective and really doesn't dry out my skin like most acne products too. It really is a miracle product, so happy to have found something that actually works!”
“Bye bye spots! This gel is so good for hormonal breakouts and acne scars. It contains azelaic acid which my skin apparently LOVES I'll apply this to nasty cystic pimple, and the redness. reduces overnight. Sometimes I'll apply it to areas where I usually break out, within the week before my period, to try and reduce any painful acne and to calm any redness or inflammation. Honestlt my spot treatment, savior!”
“I always get 1 or 2 pimples every week but after using this gel my face started to break out with more pimples that are very red, painful and inflamed that seem to get infected. I don’t know if it is a purging effect or that this product is just not for me.”
Hi Melissa, so sorry to hear of your experience, however we do wish to assure you that we would expect to see purging of the skin when introducing new actives. This is actually a really good sign that your skin is responding to the products and doing what it needs to do! We totally understand how frustrating the process is, but to have healthy happy skin, you need to allow blockages to reach the surface and purge to clear. We've got in touch directly to provide some advice on how best to manage this and minimise the impact.
“Tried for a couple of months and didn’t make any difference to my skin unfortunately. Had a nice texture/ application etc and obviously seems to work for lots of people but sadly didn’t do anything for me. Admittedly, I’ve had acne for many years and it doesn’t seem to respond much to topical treatments.”
Hi Maz, thank you for leaving a review. The results can vary significantly from person to person and will largely depend on the severity of your acne. While it's difficult to provide a precise timeline, those who have had longstanding skin issues often need more time to see improvements. It's common for people with many comedones to experience an initial worsening of their acne when starting new products. If you've had previous skin troubles, you might notice an even more pronounced purging phase. Please remember to be patient and not get discouraged!
By the 3 or 4-month mark, you might still experience some turbulence, but you should notice that breakouts clear through your skin faster than before. Unfortunately, there is no overnight fix, and it typically takes several months to see significant changes.We understand how frustrating this process can be, but allowing blockages to reach the surface and clear is essential for achieving healthy, happy skin. We've got in touch to provide further advice.
“I bought a full size tube of this after trying the sample. I've started getting breakouts after taking progesterone for menopause and this is a life saver. At the first sign of a spot, I apply it and the spot goes away. I avoid picking the spot at all costs! I'm also going to try it on my 13 year old son who has just started to get spots on his forehead.”
