Hi beauties!
In today's post, I'm gonna review some products by this amazing Australian brand called Real-U. I'd seen a lot of reviews and ads saying how their products promised to clear acne and make your skin so much better.
I didn't really have acne as such, I just had a couple of stubborn hormonal spots on my chin, and (SPOILER) this brand has cleared them out. I'm obviously gonna describe their products more in depth, so just keep on reading :)
| Gentle Foaming Face Wash | CLEANSE
Ok, so simply put, I LOVE this product. I love how it gets rid of the excess oil without completely striping away your natural oils. It doesn't leave my sensitive skin feeling crunchy and dry and red, but it feels really clean. In my case, my T-zone can get a bit oily which then leads to breakouts and blackheads, and the rest of my face is pretty dry. This cleanser is great for my type of skin because it looks after both parts of the combination really well.
This face wash is $20 and you can find it here
| Face Gel | CONTROL
So at first the name seemed a little bit intimidating, because I'm usually scared of 'gels' as they tend to make my skin even drier. This one seemed to adapt to my skin's needs really well. It's used as a serum, after you cleanse and before you moisturise, as a step that really targets spots. The good thing is that it doesn't contain Salicylic Acid or Benzoyl Peroxide, which are VERY commonly used in products for acne. This one is very gentle and provides great results.
This gel is $40 and available here
| Lite Moisturiser | HYDRATE
This moisturiser has been great, especially in the warmer weather because it's really light (duh!) but still very moisturising. It doesn't clog your pores and helps rebalance and replenish the skin. I think this would also be a great product for oily skin, because keeping it hydrated would help bring down oil production, but it's not overpowering, making it very easy on the skin.
This one is $25 and you can find it here
| Spot Treatment | REMOVE
This one is soooooo good, guys. I love it so much because it's so gentle yet so effective. It doesn't contain Salicylic Acid or Benzoyl Peroxide either, which is great because it's not super harsh on the skin. I find that with other brands that have these spot treatments, my skin ends up pretty much smelling like burnt skin (they are THAT strong). This one doesn't have any strong fragrances (none of these products do) and it's very effective, especially when you apply it on clean skin. You can use it up to 4 times a day if you have a very stubborn spot, but usually leaving it over night works perfect for me.
This one is $32 and you can get it here
You can also get the gorgeous pink headband - that will keep your hair out of the way when you wash your face - in a set that also includes the Spot Treatment for $38, and Real-U will donate $1 for every pack sold to charity.
These products were kindly sent to me by Real-U so I could review them and post about them, but my opinions are 100% genuine, and honestly guys, my skin at the moment is the best it's been in a while. I've been using their products for about 2 weeks and all my spots are gone! And if I do get one, I just use the Spot Treatment on them et voilá!
I hope you guys enjoyed this post and found it helpful.
Thanks for reading me, xo
