Relogy Natural Acne Treatment

#relogyifabbo - Product provided for review


Today I've got a great product to tell y'all about.  The Relogy Natural Acne Treatment kit.  I'm in my mid 30's and have suffered from acne and oily skin since puberty.  I won't say I've tried EVERYTHING, but I've tried a lot of products.  So far, this system has been the best I've used even though it has a few faults.

This is a 2 step system with a spot treatment as well.  So, it's EASY!

Step 1 is the Dual Action Treatment Foam.  100% vegan & 100% benzoyl peroxide free.  The 2 active ingredients are, Salicylic Acid 0.5% and Benzalkonium Chloride 0.2%.  Apply a quarter side amount to the areas of your skin where you are experiencing acne and let it dry.  The product does the rest by killing acne bacteria.  It can also be used on your body.  Also, this can be used in place of soap to cleanse, just apply it to wet skin, rinse, and pat dry. 

~My thoughts on this step:  It's got a fresh, almost lemony scent.  The directions say to use a quarter size amount, but I found that I needed way less.  Probably about half.  If I used the quarter size, I had to wait for a while for my skin to absorb the product & it was like a thick slather.  However, this is amazing.  When I adjusted the amount and let it dry, my skin felt so good. 

Rinse-Free Foam Acne Treatment:  Water, Salicylic Acid (from Willow Tree Bark), Benzalkonium Chloride, Sodium Laurel Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Decyl Clycoside, Sorbitol, Propylene Glycol, Panthenol, Meadownfoam Oil, Tetrasodium EDTA, Methyl Paraben, Propl Paraben, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (orange) Extract, FD&C Blue #1. 
 


Step 2 is the Skin Balancing Lotion With Coconut Milk.  100% natural with vegan-friendly ingredients to hydrate and nourish the skin.  Take a pea sized amount and massage into skin.  Though, if you have naturally oily skin it's advised to only use this once per day. 

~My thoughts on this step: I couldn't detect a scent.  I did have to use this at night only because it felt a little heavy/greasy for me.  The pump is a little wonky and sometimes either spits out too much or too little product.  Not to mention that I have to use a little more than a pea sized amount.....in order to cover my face AND neck.  Don't forget to take care of your neck too ladies.  But I loved the moisture it provides & even oily skin needs moisture.

Skin Balancing Lotion:  purified water, certified organic coconut oil, certified organic jojoba, emulsifying wax, glycerin, certified organic coconut milk, allantion, phenoxyethanal.  


Bonus Step is the Targeted Spot Treatment.   2% Salicylic Acid.  This goes straight to work on existing blemishes to further boost results.  Using the rollerball applicator, apply directly to the acne blemish, avoiding surrounding skin.  Use up to twice daily.  

~My thoughts on this step: The product works like it says.  I had a few horrible monsters show up on my face and this took care of them.  One took a little longer, but it did the job.  It has no smell that I noticed.  However, I have a packaging complaint about this product as well.  The black printing rubs off ALL over your hands when you're trying to use this.  No matter if my hands are wet, have product on them, dry, whatever.  I always get black stuff on my hands.  Now I may end up just wiping it all off since I know what the product is.  
 
Water, Glycereth-18, Glycereth-18 Ethylhexanoate, Ethoxydiglycol, Salicylic Acid, Lactobacillus/Bean Seed Extract/Sodium Glutamate Ferment Filtrate, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Sodium Hyaluronate, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Chondrus Crispus Extract, Hydrolyzed Chondrus Crispus (seaweed) Extract, Menthol, Bisabolol, Aminomethyl Propanol, Phenoxyethanolm Ethylhexylglycerin
 



Overall, this is a great system and I would suggest it to anyone with acne that doesn't want to go through a gozillion steps every morning and night.  I also have sensitive skin and had no reactions to anything.

Relogy is a cruelty free and vegan brand & they are always happy to help you out with questions.

Because these products have AHA's, they do suggest using sunscreen....which I can't insist upon enough.    


A 2 month supply retails for $49.95 on their website, BUT if you go NOW,  you can get free shipping AND save $24.95 on a year subscription.

  2. I'm also in my mid thirties with oily and acne prone skin and have yet to find my perfect solution. I tried Proactive a few years back, but it's too harsh for me.
    Too bad Relogy only ships to the US.
