“I have been using the products for a week. I am fine with all the textures. But from what I use them I notice a little bit of red pimples all over my face. Will it be a normal reaction of the active ingredients?”
“This is an incredibly sophisticated, effective and jam packed product! This serum combines all the active ingredients required for beautiful, glowing and blemish free skin.
I have acne prone very fair skin so red marks linger for a long time once the blemish has gone, this definitely speeds up the redness fading process and improves the pigmentation marks left behind.
It has smoothed my texture, reduced pore size and softened fine lines.
I can either leave alone or follow with a moisturiser, I didn’t feel lacking moisture without a cream on top (this is fine alone for my combination skin).
I had never used a retinol before this product and I can say I have had no irritation , adverse affects or reaction at all. Only the slightest peeling at the sides of my nose but this shows the actives are working!
I am delighted with this serum and in fact the entire range has hugely benefited my skin. I love the packing also, my family of Dr Sam flawless products look so lovely lined up on my dresser!”
“This is my most recent Dr Sam's purchase - I have already tried all other products from this range, and am a fan of all of them, particularly the moisturiser and cleanser. However, I just cannot get on board with this product, despite it's stellar line-up of ingredients. I have been using 1% retinol for around a year with no trouble (aside from minor peeling initially). This has made my skin red, dry (in the morning I can see fine lines, particularly at the top of my cheeks), and extremely sensitive (sometimes I cannot even tolerate anything except a basic moisturiser the next day. It really is terribly disappointing. My skin looks worse than it has in years. I absolutely would not recommend this for sensitive skin. Perhaps, as another reviewer said, it plays better with oily skin. I should also note that any moisturiser applied over the top of this pills horribly for me. I know this is not as much of an issue with a night time product, but it is very unappealing.”
“Having always had trouble with acne prone skin, and having consequent scarring, this serum has been amazing at producing improved skin texture in just four weeks. Possibly most notable to myself, but there's definite surface improvement and my complexion is brighter in general. Have just ordered my second round - I've been using a full pump from the offset!”
“My favourite serum ever. Skin is so smooth, calm, clarified when I wake in the morning. Its effects are also noticeable as soon as you apply it - it seems to firm skin immediately. With my oily skin, I don’t need an additional moisturiser in summer. Will be getting this on auto replenish to make sure I don’t run out!”
“My skin simply looks amazing after using this product. I’ve noticed a visible difference in skin clarity, smothness, and glow. The last time I was home to visit family, my mom even commented that my skin looked great (she wanted to know what I was using too!).
Because my skin can be a little sensitive and can be prone to dryness in some areas, I find using half a pump nightly works best for me.”
