I thought this was likely to be a mild acne treatment duo - maybe it was all that talk of manuka honey.
It is infact quite an astringent duo - which if you have super oily skin with angry spots, might just be what you need! I found for my t-zone this was really effective - the wash stripped away oil and the blemish gel dried up active white heads within hours. But for lesser spots and my cheeks, the regime was a bit too harsh, so i'd say if you have breakouts and dry skin, you're going to want to go easy on the frequency of use.
The range smells fresh and vibrant and I liked the functional, simple packaing.
If you have very oily skin and suffer from typical breakouts, I'd recommend these products for sure.
I like this regime. It has helped me control my acne and leaves my face clean, smooth and soft without being overly stripped. It doesn’t help with oil control at all, I was very oily during the day and at night. It is very hydrating and great for getting rid of pimples.
The two main issues I have with these products are the packaging and the smell. Both bottles have very aggressive pumps and will squirt out way too much or way too aggressively. The face wash bottle is kinda ugly, but I like the look of the blemish gel bottle. They both have a very citrusy smell, the blemish gel has tea tree as well and the face wash has another scent which I can only guess is carrot. I hate the smell of both of these, however after using them for a while, I have gotten used to it a bit.
Both are travel friendly, I’ve never had any leakage problems, the blemish gel has a cap and the face wash has a twist lock. They have a very watery consistency, don’t need much each time so will last a long time. The regime is great for the price, however I would personally just buy the face wash.
I would recommend this to a friend, and I will be repurchasing the face wash when I run out.
Tips: Be careful when pumping either product!
