1.0 out of 5 starsMOST HORRIBLE Choice I Ever Made for Myself!
Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2020
I don't usually write bad reviews, much less any reviews at all. But honestly, if I could give it "0" stars, I would. I bought it back in late October 2019 and immediately stopped into early November once I realize what it was doing to my skin. I didn't really want to write anything (but I am writing it in April and scrolled through my pictures I took of the progress of my face and saw how horrible my skin was at this time, so it brought my right back into how I was feeling and am still regretting it), and it really affected me for MONTHS afterward trying to fix the mess it made to my face, still fixing it to THIS DAY.
I made a HORRIBLE choice by buying this product. I saw that it worked great for people, and after reading through BOTH good and bad reviews for an equal look at both sides of the argument (went to different websites to look at reviews as well, went to the company website to look at its reviews, and basically any review website for this product that I found because I was on the edge about this product), and after weighing the pros and cons of the reviews, I bought it. HORRIBLE DECISION.
Its product says that it will sting for a bit and if it stings, it is working. I really liked the smell of it, so it didn't bother me, and its smell told me that it would sting as a result. HOWEVER, I used it sparingly. I used it probably only 2-3 times a week. I didn't change any of my other skin product so this was the only new thing I added into my routine. IT WAS HORRIBLE by the 2nd week. I thought it would get better after the first week but it continued, and one morning (3-4 weeks in) after putting it on overnight, I woke up and just saw how BAD, RED, FULL OF PIMPLES my skin (meaning my forehead, cheeks, chin, EVERYWHERE) has gotten. Literally, it GOT HORRIBLE OVERNIGHT. It was HORRIBLE. (Let me say, that it hasn't had this kind of effect AT ALL from previous use)
I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED using it that day, and desperately tried to find a soothing moisturizer that would help this inflammation.
I did not want to go out for days and stopped my volunteer activities for weeks. It was the WORST I have ever felt since middle school (hormone and rebellious age), and I am in my last year in college when this happened (so...about 9 years since middle school). I FELT HORRIBLE!
But it had already happened, so all I could do was let it cool down with my moisturizer, cooling effects for sensitive skin, and staying with my routine again. It took MONTHS to heal, and I STILL have SCARS from it to TODAY that I am still remedying for to heal it.
Honestly, all I can say is that it was the MOST HORRIBLE DECISION I have EVER made. I can't even say anything else about this. NEVER buying it again or anything from this company. Sorry, NOT sorry at all.
