OXY’s skincare range | Beauty Reviews

I don’t have ideal skin, it can be very temperamental and sensitive. Frankly, if it was a guy we would break up. Luckily I don’t tend to get spots too much now, but the occasional hormonal break out always comes at the worst moment.

I try to keep my skincare as natural as possible and recently tried OXY’s skincare range, which contains naturally active seaweed and is free from parabens, alcohol and SLS.

Apparently it now has a new clinical trial behind it to prove that it really does work, which is published in Clinical and Experimental Dermatology, an official journal of the British Association of Dermatologists. The trial is the first cosmetics clinical study in acne to be published in an official dermatology journal.

The new clinical trial on OXY, showed that the number of spots fell by 64 per cent and blackheads by 60 per cent after just eight weeks.

Dr Gill Jenkins, a GP with a special interest in acne, said the combination of seaweed extract and zinc directly affected the formation of spots, rather than the oil-producing sebaceous glands. The zinc-oligosaccharide complex used in this study produced a significant reduction in mild acne compared with control without causing irritation.

As a result of this study, I would suggest that for many people with mild acne, opting for these OXY products could be beneficial since they have been clinically proven.

Also, the functional ingredients in OXY offer measurable benefits in reducing the formation of both inflammatory spots and comedones, as well as helping to regulate sebum production.

So did it work for me? Yes. The first time I used the wash and balm it seemed to dry out the spots without drying out my skin. It smells divine and you only need a tiny amount, so it should last for a long time.

I replaced my normal face wash with the Oxy face wash and it made my skin feel ‘cleaner’ and cleared up my skin. The balm also goes on well. I had acne in my youth and I wish this had been around then. It really does work.
