Real-U Control + Face Gel Review

Real-U are an upcoming Australian Based company that make products for Acne Prone Skin. Their products are aimed to help your skin no matter what age, because alot of products these days are specified for 'teenage' skin, and lets be honest. Our skin ages as we do. Real-U have an aim and that is to stop hurting our skin with harmful chemicals and start to become friends with it again!

This specific product by Real-U has NO Benzoyl Peroxide and NO Salycylic Acid.

I can say after testing this product it is gentle to the skin.

On my skin (Which I am Oily/Combination. I had severe acne in high school) it does tend to break me out the next day so I only use this once a week. But it isn't a bad break out. It helps that pimple that is just 'sitting there' come out more so I don't have to wait days for it to appear.

It definatley minimized my pores, almost instantly. Which I loved. I'd honestly probably try to use this as a primer if it will minimize my pores faster than my current pore erasing primer.

This product, unlike alot of ones you can buy, is actually made in Australia. Which is a major bonus!

And last of all, the product has no scent.

Would I recommend this product? Of course!

Benzac AC (5%) Review!

Hey Beauties,

So for the past 2 weeks, I have been testing out a new product for my acne. I've been suggested by my GP to try out Benzac AC, So I did.

I had really high hopes for this product as the price was pretty intense. So heres what I thought overall!

Out of all acne related products I've used, this one does NOT have a strong smell of chemicals, infact, you can hardly smell a chemical at all. Which is great.

I start off with cleansing my face using their Daily Facial Cleanser (Says to use twice daily, but I'm a lazy shit and only do it once.) and that basically gets rid of all the yuckyness left on my skin, I then apply the cream/gel whatever it is, but i don't rub it in. I first dab it onto my acne so its left pretty thick, then after about 2 minutes i then rub it in. I'm not sure how its meant to be applied as it doesn't say on the back to rub it in, it just says to apply to skin. I only apply this mainly to my cheeks, and other areas that are being affected by acne.

Within the first week there was a huge difference. My acne scars were beginning to fade, and that has never happened before, I thought I was scarred for life to be quite honest. My acne was massively reduced and it seemed to stay away.

I had found though that by the next week, I had been so stressed I had forgotten to use it, therefore my acne had started to come back, so it is a constant use type of thing.

Its not sticky, or tacky on the skin, it feels like you've just rubbed moisturizer onto your face.

Within the amount of time of me using this product, I have yet to find any cons.

I would really recommend this to someone struggling with acne. It is more on the pricey side ($26-27AU) but you don't need much cream, I only use a tiny bit and it goes far.

Keep Smiling,
