Sebamed Clear Face Care Gel 50ml

I bought some expensive anti blemish skincare, hoping that the new routine with new products with hype reviews would fix my hormonal acne. I ended up having a severe allergic reaction to these so called 'products for acne prone and sensitive skin'. I learnt my lesson when it comes to expensive skincare, and claims about products being dermatologically tested and hypoallergenic, etc. After doing some research into the science behind skincare, I came across a blog article that mentioned this gel and how it was so good at naturally moisturising your skin, without unnecessary additives such as alcohol and fragrance, as well as being an optimal ph level for your skin. (This is VERY important!)This product, hands down, SAVED my skin. Together with the Hada Labo Goku-Jyun moist lotion, My allergic reaction (which gave me very bad acne for 8 MONTHS) subsided and was soothed. This product helped my skin to get back on track after being completely traumatised. I tried so many other products to try and fix what was done to my skin by the expensive anti blemish products and only after I found this and the Hada Labo lotion did it eventually start to go away. Once I found these products, my reaction went away after 6-8 weeks, considering that I suffered for 8 months prior to this I'd say it's a miracle.I have repurchased this product many times, and always reach for this when my skin is feeling irritated, itchy, upset or hot. I know that my skin is in safe hands when I use this product.I have combination-sensitive skin, that easily breaks out due to products not suiting my skin.Would definitely recommend!5 ***** !

You guys. Seriously. This is everything I wanted The Ordinary's 10% Niacinamide serum to be -- and that serum is fine, btw. But it has an awful texture, and pills up if you so much as LOOK at it wrong. (Incidentally, the star ingredient in this gel is vitamin B5, which is related to Niacinamide (vitamin B3), and also boasts significant anti-inflammatory properties.)But this. This wonder gel... it now occupies pride of place in the serum step of my skincare regime. It's a thin, very light-feeling gel with great slip, which absorbs quickly and completely. It's not particularly moisturizing, so I wouldn't count on it for that, especially if you have dry skin. However, it plays very well both under and over other products -- NO pilling -- so I would recommend it after your other actives, and before sunscreen or moisturizer. It's lovely around the eyes, too!As for the effects: I have never had a product so quickly and dramatically reduce redness in my face before. And in the couple weeks I've been using it, I have mostly definitely seen my breakouts reduce to, basically, nothing. It is not my only anti-acne product, no; and I doubt it would completely rid anyone with more than mild acne to begin with of their condition. But as a vital supporting cast member, this stuff cannot be beat. It's cheap, it feels great on the skin, it's completely non-irritating, and its anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties have, at least for me, been a total game changer.VERDICT: My only complaint is that I hadn't found this stuff earlier. From now on, I will not be without it. 10/10

I suffer a lot from cystic acne on my chin/jawline due to PCOS. I have been prescribed oral and topical treatment but to no avail. I've also tried over the counter treatments (vitamins, Acnecide, tea tree oil, Proactive... You name it - I've probably tried it!)This gel is a little gem. I do sometimes use it alongside sulphur soap (I found that useful by itself but when used every day it can redden, dry out and irrate the skin.) The soap is an option but I doubt it would be suitable for all.The gel is clear and it tends to be greasy on application but it dries out fairly quickly. If I am using the soap then I leave that on for about two minutes, rinse and dry thoroughly. I then apply a thin layer of gel to the affected area. I find it cools and soothes the skin and the darn spots!The gel is suitable for every day use.Since using this for about two months, it has remarkably improved my horrific skin. The spots aren't as big, red and frequent has they have been over the months. Currently, my chops is spot free! I honestly can't remember a time when my skin looked clear.(I'm 28 years old and have been spotty for most of my adult life.)Even though my skin is clear now I still use it to keep the spots at bay and it's working amazingly well!

Really good product. Love the simplicity of the formulation, applies nicely, dries quickly and leaves skin feeling moist and looking much less red. Bottle is opaque which helps prevents the formulation oxidising, and the lid allows hygienic and precise dispensation of the product.Most importantly, it doesn't break me out - as I hoped when checking the ingredients list. Each bottle lasts about 4-6 weeks when applying liberally every morning and night.My order was fulfilled by Amazon, arrived the next day neatly package as one would expect. 5 stars.

I have been on epiduo for my acne for years as I wanted to try an over the counter product. Unfortunately this just didn't work for me and I actually think it made my skin break out more. I also found that I had to use moisturiser on top of it as it left my skin feeling dry.
