Ive struggled with moderate to severe acne since i was in grade 6. I am currently 19 years old and i feel defeated. These are some of the things i have tried in the past: neutrogena, clearasil, acnefree, proactive, benzoyl peroxide, st ives, oxy, tea tree oil, jojoba oil, tactuo gel... the list goes on and on. I have sensitive skin, with what i would consider to be combination skin (i have an oily forehead but everywhere else is dry). Nothing works! Anyway, in the past couple months ive been trying to go natural. As everyone is clearly aware, going the natural way is useless unless you know the right products out there. As much as ive read positive things about tea tree oil and jojoba oil... they just didnt seem to work for me. After months of trying these two products out... i had enough. After trying everything thing available out there... aside from acutane or those harsh prescriptions... i stumbled upon lush products. Who would of thought right? This is my story with lush.... just hold on, ill get to the good stuff

So ive been trying out products from lush for about a month now... and its had its ups and downs. Why i continue to use products from it though, however, is that the good outweighs the bad. Everyone's skin is different so finding the perfect skin routine will take time. I started off with buying the 1) angels on bare skin cleanser, 2) grease lightning spot treatment, 3) tea tree water, and 4) vanishing cream moisturizer. After trying these 4 products for a week, i was neither happy, nor upset with the products... they weren't really clearing my acne... but they weren't agitating it either. Anyway i went back and bought 1) fresh farmacy cleanser and i love it!! its for sensitive skin so i would suggest trying this out first! PS, you can get samples for everything!! Heres my current skin care routine:
Morning:
fresh farmacy cleanser - wet face, lather in hands, apply to face, wash gently with wash cloth, pat dry
tea tree water - spray to face... gently massage until dry
grease lightning spot treatment - dont overuse! a little goes along way. love this product
sometimes vanishing cream moiturizer (depends on the mood)
Night:
farmacy cleanser
mask (cupcake of mask of magnaminty) every 3rd or 4th day
tea tree water
grease lightning

i hope this works for you! let me know

as for my situation now... i still have acne... this is not a miracle skin routine. that will always take time. I can safely say that my face is getting better and better each day. My face feels smooth and calm. I wil continue this routine for another couple of months to see how effective this routine is. Most of the other lush reviews say the exact same thing, so dont feel discouraged if you dont see results right away, (i didnt!). My skin is not perfect.. but its getting there!!
