Stylist Who Almost Gave Up on Her Battle Against Acne Finally Discovers a Way to Get Rid of Them

As a hair stylist, I look at myself in the mirror everyday. My clients would question and comment on my skin, telling me to "cover it up", "why is your skin like that", "you should get help." I felt ugly, embarrassed, and ashamed of my appearance day in day out. I felt like I had done something wrong, that I didn’t take care of my skin when the reality was far from the truth.
"Some days I wouldn’t want to leave the house or let anybody see me if I was having a bad skin day."
I had been to the doctors many times and I was given creams and tablets which were harsh and burnt a layer off my skin. So I put my trust into high street cosmetic brands. Some of these cosmetics showed initial results but I never saw the progress I had hoped for (or paid for).
"My cupboards were full of high-end lotions, gels and creams that DID NOTHING for me."

I was desperate to find a solution so I turned to aestheticians who offered cutting edge treatments that promised the world: dermarollers, vampire facials, microdermabrasion… you name it and I’ve probably tried it. In total I had spent close to £5,000 in treatments that showed marginal results but my acne kept coming back. When I had stumbled onto Clearly Basics, I had thought they were no different than the other cosmetic brands. However, I was surprised to find how knowledgeable and responsive they were over chat. I was recommended the Complete Trio and decided to give it a try. Even on first application, I knew these lotions were different. The lotions triggered a two week purge but afterwards I saw significant progress!
"My friends were astonished at how much my skin transformed even after 5 weeks of use."
Even when I wasn't done with my first set from Clearly Basics, I was so impressed with the results that I decided to write this article/review. For those of you who have lost hope and feel like skincare companies only put out misleading ads to peddle their wares… I’ve been there.
"You only lose the battle against acne when you give up."
So I want to encourage you to keep searching for gems out there like Clearly Basics. With the power of social media, you’re just a DM away from getting honest advice from people who have been in your shoes.

My journey with Clearly Basics in a nutshell

Individual results may vary

Now I have regained that hope and positivity because I know that I am using amazing skincare products by @clearlybasics that actually do work without being harsh on my skin. Just because you feel like nothing is working doesn't mean you should give up on hope. There is something out there for everyone and in my case it is @clearlybasics.

So so good

Improvement

Have been using for a few weeks now and notice an improvement in texture and firmness. You don’t have to use a lot, so it lasts. Will likely order another jar when my supply is used!

Amazing Neck Cream. Visible results.

I’m in love with this neck cream. My neck is left moisturised and toned. I can definitely see the lifting effect immediately.

Really works

GAME CHANGER!!

I've suffered from a slight double-chin that is pronounced when I'm talking/using my voice in any way and is worsened by water retention. After using this product for over a week, my jawline is WAY more defined

Can't live without it

Drastic results. I'm very self conscious of my neck. Big improvement with daily use.

I love the results I’ve

I love the results I’ve seen. The size of the purchase was a great value also!!

The best cream for the neck!

I like that I don't have to use a lot for my neck, it has a great consistency and you can see the effects.

Really seemed to work within

Really seemed to work within a few days with only a small amount required. I’ve now ordered the large one

Phenomenal results!

Have been using the neck cream for months. It has helped to prevent deep lines.

This product is amazing… worked right away

Since using the Advanced Tightening

Since using the Advanced Tightening Neck cream my neck is firmer and more smooth.

Ive been using this product

Ive been using this product for a few months and Im addicted. It truly works and I recommend it.

Nice hydrating cream

Got it at Costco in a two pack. Very hydrating and gives glow.
