Sebamed Clear Face Care Gel

You guys. Seriously. This is everything I wanted The Ordinary's 10% Niacinamide serum to be -- and that serum is fine, btw. But it has an awful texture, and pills up if you so much as LOOK at it wrong. (Incidentally, the star ingredient in this gel is vitamin B5, which is related to Niacinamide (vitamin B3), and also boasts significant anti-inflammatory properties.) But this. This wonder gel... it now occupies pride of place in the serum step of my skincare regime. It's a thin, very light-feeling gel with great slip, which absorbs quickly and completely. It's not particularly moisturizing, so I wouldn't count on it for that, especially if you have dry skin. However, it plays very well both under and over other products -- NO pilling -- so I would recommend it after your other actives, and before sunscreen or moisturizer. It's lovely around the eyes, too! As for the effects: I have never had a product so quickly and dramatically reduce redness in my face before. And in the couple weeks I've been using it, I have mostly definitely seen my breakouts reduce to, basically, nothing. It is not my only anti-acne product, no; and I doubt it would completely rid anyone with more than mild acne to begin with of their condition. But as a vital supporting cast member, this stuff cannot be beat. It's cheap, it feels great on the skin, it's completely non-irritating, and its anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties have, at least for me, been a total game changer. VERDICT: My only complaint is that I hadn't found this stuff earlier. From now on, I will not be without it. 10/10

The ingredients are completely non-comedogenic and this product has really improved the texture and quality of my skin. Absolutely adore this product and the brand and will continue to purchase their products in the future. It goes on very smoothly; has no scent and is extremely soothing. If you are acne prone I would highly recommend getting this! You won't be disappointed. Positives+ Completely non-comedogenic, considering I break out by even by looking at anything other than water! Light weight - non greasy Dries extremely quickly Non-Heavy Cheap Gel texture Cons- Not an intensive moisturiser, so not suitable for those with dry skin Could have some added vitamin c or ceramides which would be great.

I suffer a lot from cystic acne on my chin/jawline due to PCOS. I have been prescribed oral and topical treatment but to no avail. I've also tried over the counter treatments (vitamins, Acnecide, tea tree oil, Proactive... You name it - I've probably tried it!) This gel is a little gem. I do sometimes use it alongside sulphur soap (I found that useful by itself but when used every day it can redden, dry out and irrate the skin.) The soap is an option but I doubt it would be suitable for all. The gel is clear and it tends to be greasy on application but it dries out fairly quickly. If I am using the soap then I leave that on for about two minutes, rinse and dry thoroughly. I then apply a thin layer of gel to the affected area. I find it cools and soothes the skin and the darn spots! The gel is suitable for every day use. Since using this for about two months, it has remarkably improved my horrific skin. The spots aren't as big, red and frequent has they have been over the months. Currently, my chops is spot free! I honestly can't remember a time when my skin looked clear. (I'm 28 years old and have been spotty for most of my adult life.) Even though my skin is clear now I still use it to keep the spots at bay and it's working amazingly well!

I bought some expensive anti blemish skincare, hoping that the new routine with new products with hype reviews would fix my hormonal acne. I ended up having a severe allergic reaction to these so called 'products for acne prone and sensitive skin'. I learnt my lesson when it comes to expensive skincare, and claims about products being dermatologically tested and hypoallergenic, etc. After doing some research into the science behind skincare, I came across a blog article that mentioned this gel and how it was so good at naturally moisturising your skin, without unnecessary additives such as alcohol and fragrance, as well as being an optimal ph level for your skin. (This is VERY important!) This product, hands down, SAVED my skin. Together with the Hada Labo Goku-Jyun moist lotion, My allergic reaction (which gave me very bad acne for 8 MONTHS) subsided and was soothed. This product helped my skin to get back on track after being completely traumatised. I tried so many other products to try and fix what was done to my skin by the expensive anti blemish products and only after I found this and the Hada Labo lotion did it eventually start to go away. Once I found these products, my reaction went away after 6-8 weeks, considering that I suffered for 8 months prior to this I'd say it's a miracle. I have repurchased this product many times, and always reach for this when my skin is feeling irritated, itchy, upset or hot. I know that my skin is in safe hands when I use this product. I have combination-sensitive skin, that easily breaks out due to products not suiting my skin. Would definitely recommend! 5 ***** !

Arrived quickly and was well packaged. Smelled okay, and the texture was plain gel like. Unfortunately, my skin didn’t like this product. I ended up breaking out in lots of closed comedones and spots. The hunt for a moisturiser continues.

I'm 26 and had a random, uncalled for, confidence-knocking adult acne attack on both cheeks. This started in April 2018, since then I have tried benzoyl peroxide (acnecide), salicylic acid (in facewashes and moisturisers), various serums with acbe-busting properties, all to no avail. The spots kept coming, large painful under the skin spots which eventually came to a head. I bought this because it was cheap and I was fed up with spending loads on skincare that didn't work. This is literally the ONLY product that has made any difference for me, and since using this (had it around 2 weeks) I have had 2 new spots which were small and disappeared after a couple days. My skin is spot-free but I still have acne scars which will now have time to heal without new spots replacing them. I will say that its not the nicest product to use as moisturiser, but holy cow it really works and who gives a fudge if it doesn't "feel nice". So so so happy I will be buying again and again.

Like this serum, lightweight sinks straight in, bought a few times

I don’t usually leave reviews but felt compelled to do so. I’d been suffering from an awful case of seb derm/atopic dermatitis for about 3 months. I decided to switch my moisturiser to this one instead and it cleared it within a couple of days. It just goes to show your skin knows what it needs. I’d really recommend this to any other people suffering with flakey, dry inflamed skin.

Nach der Gesichtsreinigung ein Muss um der Haut die Feuchtigkeit wiederzugeben. Das Gel kühlt außerdem sehr gut und zieht schnell ein.

a mi en mi opinión me va bien

Non ci sono parole per descrivere questo gel. Per me il santo graal, l'unica pecca è una sola: finisce. Ne avrò comprati a decine, fidatevi, non rimarrete delusi. Leggero, si assorbe subito, 5 ingredienti in croce. Keep it simple

J'ai vu une différence rapidement au niveau de la santé générale de ma peau : moins de boutons (voire quasiment plus), qui durent moins longtemps, et même moins de rougeurs. Seul bémol, je trouve qu'il m'assèche un peu la peau. J'alterne avec un hydratant plus lourd, ce qui fonctionne plutôt bien.

Compré esta crema para intentar controlar una zona que tengo con acne bajo una oreja hacia la mandíbula. Es acné hormonal por temas ginecologícos (soy una mujer de 40 años). El gel es transparente sin olores y seca muy rápido. Ya en la primera aplicación noté cómo se desinflamaba la zona y estaba mucho menos roja. Tras unos 5 días aplicandolo dos veces después de lavar la cara veo que los granos más pequeños han desaparecido o se han secado, sin embargo tengo uno grande complicado que ha disminuido algo pero ahí sigue. Por el momento contenta, voy a combinar esta crema con un tratamiento oral para controlar mis hormonas y espero que vaya a mejor.
