Road Test

If you think skin problems such as blemishes are exclusive to teens, unfortunately you’re wrong. It’s not uncommon for women to hit their 40s or even their 50s and start having regular breakouts, or even adult acne. There are a number of reasons why our skin can revert to behaviour not seen since our teenage years, with a primary one being hormone fluctuations due to peri-menopause or menopause. There are other culprits, however, when it comes to upsetting an otherwise clear complexion; travelling to a drier or more humid climate, dietary changes or overdoing food and drink on holiday, and sometimes being too relaxed with your skin care regime while enjoying time off. First launched back in 2015, real-u set out to help fix problem skin without some of the unwanted side effects which can arise due to use of benzyl peroxide and salicylic acid. Both are strong chemicals, and common ingredients in popular acne products, which can strip the skin and leave it dry and sensitive. The basic formula of real-u products is free of both of these “nasties”, but it can help to regulate oily skin and inhibit acne causing bacteria, while also reducing inflammation, reduce pore size, minimise blackheads and heal the skin. If you are prone to regular breakouts it’s worthwhile checking out the entire range, which includes a cleanser, a moisturiser, a serum and a gel, as part of a three step program to cleanse, control and hydrate the skin. If you only suffer from the occasional blemish, often when you travel, the hero product which should be in your luggage is Remove Spot Treatment. Using the product is easy, and it can be applied conveniently three or four times per day. At the first sign of a spot developing, or to speed up healing a blemish which has already formed, simply massage a small amount into the affected area. Within hours, you’ll see a reduction in redness and overnight a decrease in size of the blemish, and it will quickly heal within a few days without the significant peeling similar treatments can cause. The result? A fast track to a clear complexion without the pain.
