Aknicare Testimonials

I have recently started using your products and have found them very effective. I am 34 years of age and have taken the oral contraceptive to stop acne for over 15 years. When I stopped taking it in order to fall pregnant, my acne returned. Your Aknicare skin roller is literally the only product I have ever tried that takes a pimple/acne cyst down quickly. I love the Aknicare face powders I am using them now instead of the expensive brand I was using and my skin looks so much better. Anyway, that's my feedback. I'm very pleased with these products and have referred them to others as acne is an annoying problem, especially at my age.

My lovely sister bought me your Aknicare Gentle Cleansing Gel (formally called Remover), Cleanser, Lotion & Cream and urged me to try it on recommendation from a lady she works with who said it was excellent. I was very sceptical to be honest, as I have tried literally hundreds of products over the years - and nothing has ever really helped me in any dramatic way. I have been using these products for almost 6 weeks and I am absolutely amazed at the effect it is having on my skin. To say I am happy with the results so far is a huge understatement. My skin actually looks clear, I noticed a difference from around the 3rd week of use. For the first time in 20 years, I do not have a spot on my face. It has also treated the blackheads I am plagued with and definitely cleared my pores; my skin looks so clean. I am delighted with how effective Aknicare is and only wish I had discovered you years ago, it would have saved a lot of heartache. I still have some scarring but even that is less pronounced, this has had such a positive effect on my life and I really do thank you.
Michelle Pitt, Uxbridge received 14th October 2011

Since using the SkinMed products [Aknicare]  i have noticed a massive difference in my skin, my face is less red and it is rare that i develop spots. After using the products my skin always feels clean and fresh for a long time in comparison to other previous treatments which i have used. Not only have i noticed a big improvement in my skin but my friends and family have commented on how much better it has began to look since using the products. It is surprising looking back at photos from around christmas before i started using the products because i can't remember it ever being that bad and i couldn't imagine it to be like that now. The treatments have definitely helped me to look better and feel more positively, it is reassuring knowing i can go to bed without waking up expecting to have spots the next morning.
Nathanael Potts, Liverpool

I've had problems with spots for over 6 years, I have been on a mild antibiotics course for about 2 years as well as trying most spot creams that are available from Boots or Tesco and none of them have worked, some even dried my skin so badly that I was left with red, cracked and itchy skin. I didn't really think Aknicare was going to work as every other cream I tried didn't, but thankfully it has made a huge difference. It took about a month for my skin to get used to the cream and the routine, but I find that my skin is much clearer and when I get the occasional spot it’s not as red or inflamed. The customer service has also been fantastic, I was phoned to see how my treatment was going and I got some tips on how to improve my routine, I would definitely recommend trying Aknicare!

Dean Warwick, County Down

I have been using Aknicare products for four months and have found them to be very effective in the control of my acne condition that has persisted for 35 years. The products are pleasant and safe to use with no adverse side effects unlike every other topical treatment I have tried in the past. The three-step Aknicare system has controlled my acne and smoothed my skin. It is satisfying to have found such an effective and reasonably priced topical remedy to my acne condition. I have undergone several Roaccutane courses in the past and not only does it have unpleasant side-effects during treatment but it did not provide me with a total or long-term solution. The Aknicare range however, seems to have better long-term potential because it has been soundly researched and the science is right.
R Chase, Surrey

I have been using Aknicare for over a year now and I have to say it has made such a big difference on my skin, the oiliness has gone down the breakouts have reduced it's just fantastic! I also find that the scars left with past spots has also reduced. I have also been using the retinol A cream (Synchrovit) along with the Aknicare and that accelerates the results, my blocked pores are no longer there and I have clearer skin. Thank you so much SkinMed!
Mrs H from Bedfordshire

I had to write to you to thank you for the fantastic Aknicare system. After many years of topical treatments, oral antibiotics and contraceptives, and even Roaccutane with its many side effects, I had almost given up hope that I would ever be spot free. My only other option seemed to be Laser Treatment which is well out of my price range.
But then I read about Aknicare on the SkinMed web site, and I must admit that I was skeptical that a topical treatment would work where even Roaccutane had failed. But I ordered the pack containing Gentle Cleansing Gel (formally called Remover), Lotion and Cream for £39. I thought that this was a bit pricey at first, but after eight weeks of using it twice a day and on the whole of my face, I've still got a couple of weeks worth left. This works out at under £20 a month. I've spent more than that on products that don't work!
In the eight weeks I have been using the Aknicare system, I have seen a dramatic improvement. My spots are greatly reduced, my T-Zone no longer greasy and my skin so soft. My skin is so much clearer that I no longer feel the need to wear make-up every time I leave the house.
I have suffered with Acne for 21 years and it is such a good feeling to find a product that actually works when so many others have failed.
Thank you so much
Mrs C Kirk, London

Just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the Aknicare range. Having suffered very greasy skin & acne for almost 30 years & having tried many temporary solutions, your products have really worked wonders. I have been using the range for approximately 6 weeks now & my skin just keeps getting better & better.
Thank you so much.
H Hagen, Scotland

Dear SkinMed
Thank you so much to you all, I have never been without acne since I was thirteen, always being teased at school.
I've used a number of different products over the years including hibbiscrub, which I believe is used in hospitals to wash your hands, that was from the Doctor.
Thanks to your Aknicare products I now only get the odd spot now and then.
Since I've been using Aknicare I started of with the Cleanser, Lotion and Cream. The Aknicare Cleanser leaves my face feeling clean and refreshed, not dry in places or greasy in my t-zone. The Aknicare Lotion is very good as you can target individual spots not all over your face. It also doesn't burn the skin around it like other spot lotions. The Aknicare Cream leaves my face soft without any greasy patches and now I feel confident enough not to pile so much foundation on. I also now use the Aknicare foundation which I think is excellent as there is no slippage on my makeup and it helps prevent spots rather than causing them.
Yours very gratefully, Mrs R Renton

I have been meaning to write for a long time to say how successful the Aknicare products have been for my son.
Prior to discovering them, eighteen months ago, John had tried antibiotics and a huge variety of products, all to no avail.
Whilst his skin is not entirely clear of acne, there has been a huge improvement in his appearance. As long as he used the products diligently, he can keep the worst of the acne problem at bay. I have noticed that there is a correlation between a flare up of the condition and times of stress i.e. exams.
Therefore I am so pleased to have found something that works and am pleased to hear it might soon be available on prescription.
Yours faithfully, Mrs J Dunn

I am 16 years old and I have had spots since I was 13. It felt like they would never get better. Having spots is probably one of the worst things I have ever had to deal with. I feel really unfortunate and unattractive. It seems as though all of my friends have perfect skin compared to me. Putting make up on does not hide them; it can make them even worse. When I go out I find that other people my age can be really offensive and rude about my spots and can really hurt my feelings. When I get a bad flare up I tend to stay in and can’t stop looking in the mirror. I feel that I have been really missing out because of my skin. I have been to the doctors plenty of times and been offered lots of advice and had many different creams and antibiotics. I have been really down as nothing seemed to work. My mum brought me some Aknicare lotion and cream as we have tried everything else. I have been using it for 4 weeks now and my skin has really calmed down. I can't believe it. Even my friends have noticed a difference saying that my skin looks clearer and healthier. Before i started using the cream my spots were really bad. I had loads of big spots with yellow heads. Now I only have about 4-5 small spots with yellow heads. I feel that finally there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I am so happy! I feel more confident in my appearance now.
Lauren B, Cheshire

Dear Cheryl,
Just thought I'd write a few lines about your Aknicare range.
I'm 53 and have had spots coupled with greasy skin from the age of 12 and after about half an hour after washing, my face would resemble a chip pan!!
I was a bit skeptical at first as I've tried everything, but as soon as I used the Cleanser my face felt calm, smooth and by the end of the day my face was still non-greasy, I couldn't believe it!! This is the only product that dealt with the underlying problem of sebum on the skin.
I then tried the Lotion and Cream. They, with the Cleanser, have given my face a new lease of life and I only wish I'd discovered the products sooner.
Thank you for excellent products that actually do what they say on the tin!!!
Mrs B Bray, London

Dear Cheryl, thank you for processing the order which I have just placed with you.
This is the second pack which I have ordered and I have found the product to be extremely successful. Although my problem was not too bad and I never was bothered with acne in my youth the last few years have been a constant battle trying to clear spots that were appearing on the centre of my forehead, nose and on my right hand cheek. As one cleared another appeared. Even experimenting with the diet and cutting out certain foods did not help too much nor did antibiotics prescribed by the Doctor as their effect was only temporary.
However within days of starting to use the Aknicare product set, the improvement was remarkable, and I am now more or less "spot free". Continuing to use the product seems to keep the skin clear.
Thank you very much and I am spreading the word and hope your other clients are also enjoying the benefits of clear skin and renewed confidence.
Yours faithfully, James Stewart

Dear SkinMed
I just wanted to let you know how happy you have made my daughter who is 17 years old. For the past few years she has suffered with acne and has tried almost every foundation on the high street to disguise her problem skin. We have spent a small fortune on many products with her using two or three at the same time to get the right colour for her skin. It has been a long ongoing battle until we came across your web site by chance and decided to try your Aknicare Fluid Powder Foundation compact in medium .I thought this was going to be another product that my daughter was going to be dissatisfied with and me wasting my money again, as it sounded too good to be true in helping to heal acne but to my surprise she tried it and said it provides really good coverage for her red, blotchy and spotty skin.
The Foundation gives her a lovely natural colour especially with it being summer. After continued use her acne has virtually gone with her only getting occasional spots and her confidence has bounced back. My daughter would not be without this product she thinks it is wonderful and has helped her in her dance shows to look good even when she is sweating. Why did we not discover this product before?!
From an extremely pleased Mrs Abraham and Daughter, Cambridgeshire

I have been using Aknicare for several months now. I have found that using it twice daily has really helped my skin as it feels much smoother and softer and my spots have been under control. After using the products for a couple of weeks I really noticed a difference around my t zone area where my spots occur the most. I still get the occasional spot… normally around "the time of the month". I still use Aknicare but I do not have to use it as frequently and yet the results still show. I am very pleased with the results and I will continue to use this product as I have found it works the best and have tried many other products.
Regards,
Mrs J Webb, Durham

I am writing a long overdue letter on behalf of my fifteen year old son who has been using your three step Aknicare skin products. As with most people we started with well known brands with no success. It was an article in a Saturday supplement that drew my attention to Aknicare. After just two weeks my son noticed his spots healed faster and after a month painful boils were minimised. Doing well with his face he is now using Aknicare on his chest and back. My son's father and grandfather had acne as teenagers both growing out of it by their early twenties. My son hopes for the same but in the meantime Aknicare makes teenage life a bit more tolerable.
Many thanks to all at Pharmacy Partnership for your help and advice.
Yours Sincerely
Catherine Goodwin, Leyland

I have used Aknicare Cleanser, Lotion and Cream and after using it for three weeks, the results were amazing. I am in my late twenties and have had problems because I have oily skin. These products combated the oiliness straight away and after the acne had cleared away, I used Thiospot pigment control roller where the acne had left dark marks. So many people have noticed how clear my skin is with no marks to show that here was any sign of acne.
I would recommend this product to my friends.
Noreen Parvaiz, Redditch

Dear Sir/Madam
I have been using Aknicare products for approximately 12 months to treat acne, the three products I use are Aknicare Lotion, Aknicare Cream soft feel and Aknicare Cleanser. I find these products help to calm my condition down.
I am writing to say I am very pleased with your creams and lotions.
Yours sincerely
B Dudman, Gwent

Hi to all at SkinMed
I was concerned about paying for products I was unsure about, especially as the brand has not been TV advertised like other spot treatments and there is a plethora of treatments each promising spectacular results.
We all have succumbed to the advertising (admit it, I have) and yes, then there is a new product to use and soon your bathroom is full of expensive face treatments that just do not keep your oily skin and breakouts under control.
Well, I have tried most products and generally, the results are unspectacular.
However, I tried the Aknicare treatments and there was a noticeable difference after two weeks and with all three treatments, my skin is now clearer, especially clearer for longer and smoother. But importantly when I use Aknicare my skin is not raw and dry but 'normal' looking, which is a great relief when you want to look your best and when first impressions really count.
I am now on my second order and I plan not to purchase anything else but Aknicare for my oily skin needs.
Yes, the cost of the items may be a concern when compared to the major brands you will see advertised on TV but sometimes you have to pay for results and by buying Aknicare, I am confident you will not need the other products so you will see the savings very soon after you have started using Aknicare.
You will see a lot more of your bathroom as well (just don't blame me if you have to redecorate because you can see areas of your bathroom you have not seen for a few years…!)
I look forward to trying the new Fluid Powder Foundation Compact and Blemish Corrector to get an even better complexion.
Regards
Robert Salter, Colnbrook, Berkshire

Dear Sir/Madam
I started with acne in my early teens and have suffered with the condition for the majority of my life.
Having taken antibiotics at various stages throughout, with only short term results, I began using Aknicare products and have been using a combination of the Cleanser, Lotion and Cream since reading about the products in a magazine advert.
Within a few weeks, the difference in the condition of my skin was very noticeable. Even now, after using the products for 12 months, I can honestly say that my skin has dramatically improved.
Whilst I may still get the occasional spot, the regular and combined use of the Aknicare products has made a huge difference and would highly recommend to anyone who has tried alternative methods available to give these products a trial.
Thank you for all your help and advice
Lesley A Fanshawe, Burnley

Hello
I bought the Aknicare range today and was already astonished by the impact it had on my skin on the first application. The oiliness on my face has never been so non-existent. This will undoubtedly be a regular buy for me.
Thanks again. Mike

To Whom It May Concern
I have recently used your product for the treatment of acne and I am writing to you to express my delight! Only three days or so after starting to apply the products, my skin was visibly clearer. I have suffered from bad acne for years and I have been given tablets, topical solutions and creams which had never really seemed to work. Although I am getting older and, fingers crossed, I am growing out of it, I do still get times when my skin rebels and gets out of control, especially, during certain times of the month.
I cannot tell you how pleased I am with your products. I used all three in the group, the Cleanser, the Lotion and the Cream. My skin felt so clean and fresh, but not stripped and tight as it has with other treatments. Also, I have many scars, some of which are dented, but most are darker, reddy-purple pigments, which show most in either really cold weather, or really hot weather. .
After using your products, I have seen an improvement in the marks after the blemish has gone, and even some which were there before are looking a bit better.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter and please send me any notifications you may have on promotions, or a copy of your catalogue. .
Best Regards
Deborah Elliot, Northumberland

Dear Sirs
I am writing a note to say how pleased I am with the Aknicare Lotion. Although I do not have a problem with acne, I find the Lotion is good for the oily T Zone which I have. I do not get any shiny breakthrough. I am pleased to have discovered Aknicare Lotion. Thanking you
Yours truly
J Gerrard (Mrs), Bolton

To whom it may concern
I felt that I would like to comment on your product "Aknicare". It has now been well over a month since I have purchased your goods. I must say I was a little sceptical about the product as all lotions, gels etc plus medication for my Acne has never cleared up.
I must say I have persevered with this product and I can honestly say that I am converted. My acne has not cleared up but it definitely has improved my complexion. I will definitely carry on using these products as they are far better than all the drugs I have taken etc over the years. I am now 36 and still suffer with acne on my face, neck, back and chest, with the help of Aknicare it has started to calm down - Thank you.
Kind Regards
Paula Matthews

Dear Sirs
I received my order today and wish to thank you for your special attention in dealing with this order during the Christmas holidays.
I find that the Aknicare system is the best treatment that I have been able to find and I am very pleased indeed with the results. I always use all three products and find that leaving the Cleanser on the face for a few minutes before rinsing gives best results followed by the Lotion and Cream. Many thanks
Yours faithfully,
P D Hicks, Kings Lynn, Norfolk

RE: - Aknicare
I am writing with regards to the above skin care system that I have been using for the last two months and am delighted with the results. I never had ACNE until I reached my 30's and since then I must have taken every prescribed tablet that you can get, including Roaccutane and for a while they have all helped, however once my body got used to them the ACNE reappeared. Since using the Aknicare range my skin has only had two tiny little eruptions and they have cleared up in a maximum of days and given me perfect skin once again. Please feel free to use this letter.
Kind regards
Yvette Craig, Ashford, Kent

Dear Sir/Madam
Several months ago I ordered Aknicare products from you and was amazed at the results produced. The skin felt so much softer, felt cleaner and looked less oily. Ever since then I have been using Aknicare products as a twice daily routine to further enhance the appearance of my skin, and will continue to do so. I would recommend Aknicare product range to anybody with acne prone skin or to people who want to generally improve the overall quality and appearance of their skin.
Yours truly
Mr N Chauhan, Cheshire

Dear Sir/Madam
A few months ago I read an article in She magazine recommending Aknicare for problem acne prone skin. I had been suffering for many years from this awful condition and tried numerous over the counter products and various prescription medicines. Nothing worked for me apart from long-term antibiotics which kept it under control but did not cure it.
Since using Aknicare my eruptions have ceased and I have recently stopped taking antibiotics. I can't tell you what a relief this is at last. I now use far less makeup and feel less self-conscious although my skin will never be "perfect" due to scarring caused by such severe acne.
If only I had discovered Aknicare before I'm sure I would not have suffered with bad acne for so many years. Thank you for helping me and I do hope many others are saved years of hell by discovering your "miracle" cure!
Yours sincerely
Liz Mason, Essex

I have always been a person who has been conscious of wanting to keep my skin in the best possible health, and when trouble flares up, I get quite upset. So when pregnant with my son, trouble started and I tried like most people do, anything and everything but to no satisfactory result. Then one week while reading a national newspaper I saw your advert for Aknicare. I rang and ordered and I have found that they are effective and have helped me to maintain skin that I can be happy and confident with. So this is just to say thank you so much for helping me,
Yours sincerely
Mrs M Gilbert, Devon

I am 48 years old and have had acne since my mid twenties. In just a week of purchasing the Aknicare set I have noticed a significant difference and I wanted to say how delighted I am with the products. Despite the hot and humid weather, when my skin is at its worst - my face is spot free and my pores are beginning to resemble those of a normal person. My chest and shoulders are also showing an improvement. I have a number of friends with skin problems and will be passing on your details.
Many Thanks
Moira Morgan, Wales

Dear All,
I just had to let you know what a roaring success I am having with the Aknicare range. I am a 35 year old woman and have had moderate acne for about 5 years, (after stopping the contraceptive pill). Over that time I have taken various antibiotics, remedies and regimes, and even resorted to homeopathy, which made me feel even worse! But after spotting an advertisement in a Sunday newspaper for Aknicare I decided I had nothing to lose, and gave it a go. After using the whole range for about 4/5 weeks I am so happy to say I have zero spots! Even the small pigmentation marks are disappearing now. I feel normal for the first time in years, and obviously this is having a great effect on my outlook and moods.
I really can't thank you enough for developing such a great product, and hope my good fortune will continue.
Best wishes to you all,
Tina Murphy, West Midlands

Dear Sir, I am writing to say what excellent products Aknicare are. I saw an advertisement in a health food shop magazine and having suffered almost a lifetime from Acne decided to try the three product set. I cannot praise the efficacy of these products enough. After initially using the three products twice a day, I am now using the Face Wash and Cream regularly for maintenance purposes, using the Lotion for a ' spot attack' if and when it should arise. My acne skin is much improved.
Yours sincerely
Mrs C J Jones, Hampshire

Dear Sir/Madam
I felt I must write in to express my satisfaction with your products from the Aknicare range. I have always suffered with acne and tried practically every product available as well as products prescribed from my doctor but your range is fantastic!
My mum saw your products advertised in her magazine and told me about them, my first reaction was "another over priced product that won't work" I received a free sample and I was so pleased with the product I phoned through my first order. Your advisors were extremely knowledgeable, friendly and really wanted to help me get the right product. I use the Cleanser, Lotion and Cream all from the "Aknicare range and they really have made a difference to my skin. Before using the products my skin was very greasy and spot prone, now it feels smooth, spot free and the cream is great instead of using a moisturiser. My makeup actually stays on longer too! Although the bottles appear small the products last about 8-12 weeks, so the cost I feel is reasonable as I am no longer buying a separate moisturiser and face wash. Before I started using the product I was very self conscious and often felt down due to spots or acne around my chin. This may sound very "cheesy" but the product has cleared my face up completely, and made me a lot more confident. I have just ordered some more products and was absolutely thrilled at the 75% off the second item too.
Many thanks for an excellent product range.
Sian Jones, Cardiff

Dear Sir or Madam
I am writing to express my delight at finding products that can control my acne.
I have suffered with acne since my late teens. At the age of 40 I can honestly say I have tried nearly every treatment available (with the exception of Roaccutane which has significant side effects). I ordered Aknicare products about 12 months ago and was delighted when, after using the cleanser, lotion and cream, my breakouts became less frequent. After 3-4 months my skin had started to heal and looked 'normal'.
Now that the acne us under control, I have started to use Terproline which is helping with the scars left by my acne. Again I am delighted that after only a couple of months my skin is improving.
I can honestly say that I will never use another cleanser or moisturiser again. In fact, I panic when I run out! Thank you for bringing these remarkable products onto the market.
Yours sincerely
Susan Richardson, Sunderland

Dear Sirs
I have been using your Aknicare products for around a year and a half now and I would just like to state how impressed I am with the results. Throughout my teenage years, I have always suffered with very bad acne and, despite using a wide variety of over the counter and prescribed products, nothing really improved my spots.
We had seen an advert in the newspaper for Aknicare and, as nothing else was working, my Mum suggested that I tried it, as she had already heard that it was meant to give very good results. After using the three Aknicare products for a few weeks, my spots really started to improve. I carried on using the products and after a few months, I had very few spots left. I now have virtually no spots and my skin has not looked as clear as it does now, for years. I would recommend that anyone with acne should use the products as they have given me such excellent results.
Yours faithfully
Sarah Newman, Cheltenham

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for your wonderful Aknicare products. I am a converted user, after a traumatic experience in my life my skin flared up with acne and as someone in their 30’s it left me with low self esteem and lack of confidence as I thought the teenage years had returned to haunt me.  I came across your website and I read the rave reviews on the products and thought I would give it a go.  I can honestly say I haven’t looked back since, I’ve been using the cleanser, lotion and cream for approximately 4 weeks and I have been amazed by the results.  After the first 5 days my skin looked totally different and I started to feel like the old me not somebody who wanted to hide away because of the way their face looked.
Thank you so much from a very satisfied user.
Adele Burland, London

I am 32yrs old and never had acne until I fell pregnant, which really got me down. After trying what felt like everything that could be bought out of the shops I then discovered (after visiting a highly recommended salon) that Aknicare was a fantastic product. The reason I love it so much is that the face wash makes me feel clean and doesn't dry out my skin and the cream which I am still using long after my acne has settled down is oil free and maintains the results achieved. I would highly recommend these products, like anything you must be patient for the results but they are a long term solution and a pleasure to use.
Mrs Ashbolt, Hereford

I have been using Aknicare Lotion for about a month now and I have to say that my oily skin has literally disappeared in front of my eyes! This product is amazing and I have recommended it to my friends with oily skin and acne, as it really works. Thank you!
Giselle, London
