The Ultimate Miracle Cure for Spots/Zits/Acne

I've been meaning to blog about this for a long time. After suffering in silence with acne since I was 13 and using every high street concoction going (and I mean EVERY high street concoction going!)- I finally went to my doctor 5 years later. He prescribed me Duac Once Daily Gel and I just wanted to share this with anyone suffering with acne, piling on make-up to cover it and sometimes, making the problem worse.

I really can't describe how amazing this product is and the speed it works is probably is why I find it such. Within a couple of days, any breakouts (even severe ones!) I have will have virtually disappeared completely and my overall skin texture is so much smoother and softer. It also prevents breakouts. It has changed my life massively - not only do I spend a lot less time doing my make-up in the morning (no cover-up-mission) but its made me a lot more confident.

In the UK, I believe you can only get this product on prescription. However, as far as I know, it is widely prescribed by doctors due to its quick and effective results. I do not want to condone buying this product illegally over the internet but I know if I was not able to get this product, I would probably resort to that myself!

It can be a little drying on the skin (I use it morning and evening), so I usually wait until has dried then I apply Oilatum Natural Repair Face Cream over the top. However, if you have very oily skin, this dryness may do you a favour! 

I still have hyper-pigmentation and uneven skintone but breakouts (definitely my main concern) have disappeared and, if you keep using it, for good.

I thought I'd (bravely!) include a 'before' and 'after' photos of the difference. I didn't ever have photos taken of me without make-up, but I'm sure you can see the 'texture' of my skin through the make-up as well my breakouts! The 'before' photo was taken in February 2010 and the 'after' picture was taken in November 2011. I started using the 'gel' in April 2010.

I hope you found this useful!
