“A game changer for acne prone skin! Especially the large under the skin, nasty blemishes that you can feel rising to the surface, if you use this immediately, it literally stops the spot from forming! An absolute wonder product and I am so glad I found this brand, my skin has never looked clearer and yet it is so gentle on the skin”
“I use this gel alongside the retinol flawless nightly cream. I apply where I have breakouts form and it stops them from returning. It’s now become part of my daily routine. Better than any other acne gel I’ve tried as it doesn’t dry out my skin but manages to improve to appearance of the pimple within a day or two. Highly recommend”
“Can sometimes experience breakouts usually due to monthly cycle but not anymore. I use this every morning after the jelly cleanser and I haven’t had a single spot since I started using it. The clarity of my skin is so good right now, will always keep using this.”
“I bought this after reading all the amazing reviews as I suffer with cystic acne and spots across my chin. I really feel like this has made it worse :( I now have huge cystic breakouts and spots so my skin looks even worse than before. I’m really disappointed.”
Hi Emma, 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! Although not always visible, there are blockages bubbling away under the surface of the skin and unfortunately what goes in, must come out.
Remember, you're pushing out clogged up pores in a speed-up fashion under the influence of actives, so instead of getting those spots over the next 3/4 months, you get them over a shorter period of time. This is particularly common in those with lots of comedones at the beginning - so this pattern of acne will often look a lot worse before it’s better. The most important thing is not to panic, stay consistent and be truly patient!
Remember, less than 2 weeks of using the product is a very short amount of time, improvement will take time and patience and wont happen overnight. We do often see more significant purging for those who have suffered with their skin in the past so it's important to manage expectations.
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!
