I feel so fortunate that lately I've been receiving some amazing skincare products that target acne. Skinetica is a really unique acne product, and I'm so excited to tell you about it! Skinetica Anti-Blemish Skincare Solution$17.20 for 80ml (incl P&P) Soothes, Calms, Clears. Fast acting, kind to skin, dermatologist tested, no side effects, non greasy, no harsh chemicals, non-toxic. |
About: Skinetica promises to help quickly clear up acne-prone skin. Unlike many acne treatments, it does not contain benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or sulfur. I wouldn't call it a toner exactly, because it doesn't have the characteristic burn from a high alcohol content. I would call this more of a treatment, but in liquid form.
Ingredients: Ammonium Chloride compound combined with a Sylyl base, highly purified deionised water, fragrance and ethyl alcohol.
Texture/feel: Skinetica is a colorless liquid with a very slight clean/medicinal scent to it.
Application: I applied this twice a day to clean skin, once in the morning, and once at night. I allowed it to air dry before applying other products. I tried two methods--using a cotton ball and also just pouring a little onto my hands and wiping it onto my face (I felt like it wasted less product?). It dried quickly and worked well under makeup, because there was no residue.
Efficacy: I was very surprised to find that this really worked! I felt like my skin began to clear up not long after using it. It was gentle on my skin, but it really helped with my breakouts. It didn't eliminate them, but it drastically reduced the amount and severity.
Packaging: Nothing fancy here, but it does the job and doesn't leak!
Value: Since this is coming from the UK, postage makes it a little expensive. However, this is a really unique product and it actually worked for me.
Love it or leave it? Love it. If you have moderate acne, Skinetica is worth a shot, especially if you have sensitive skin that doesn't tolerate traditional acne treatments well.
