Face B4 review*

"The UK's most effective daily cleansing foam & after-cleansing serum" 

 I'm always interested to try new skin care, especially products that claim they are going to banish my bad skin away and make my face spot free! However, I am always skeptical of the claims brands make and whether they actually work. Since my early teens I've suffered with spots and at the age of 21 although they're not as bad as they used to be I am still prone to a lot of break outs!

"A combined cleanser and toner which helps clean pores and reduce excess oil."

I tried out the Face B4 face wash and serum, the first thing that stood out to me is that these products are antibacterial! The thought that this would reduce the bacteria on my skin, possibly responsible for making my skin spotty, was extremely intriguing!

"FaceB4’s unique dual-action blending system contains a patented ultra biocidal complex including Salicylic Acid that helps to remove impurities, so spots, blemishes and redness are reduced."
  
To be honest I was not a fan of the cleanser. Supposedly fragrance free, I thought it had a weird smell about it! The foam also didn't have the nicest feeling on the skin and did cause stinginess, but do bare in mind my skin is slightly sensitive! I stuck at using this morning and evening, however, it seemed to have little effect.
On the other hand, the serum I enjoyed using a lot more! It definitely was fragrance free and I think it did help my skin. Not necessarily in reducing spots but on the whole making a difference to how it looks and its smoothness.


  These products didn't work for me and I didn't really enjoy using the products. Although I would love to be able to reduce my spots and breakouts I prefer skin care which is more pampering and relaxing. I much prefer the Liz Earle skin care which although isn't aimed at combination/oily skin I find calms my skin much more effectively and is around the same price!

I wouldn't say this product isn't worth the money and I wouldn't say don't try it just because I haven't enjoyed using it! It may be that my bad skin is due to stress whereas other bad skin is caused by bacteria which I can see these products doing wonders for due to their antibacterial ingredients. If you are interested in the concept, definitely check out reviews on their website!

 Anti bacterial Face Wash - £14.99 
Anti bacterial serum - £9.99
