Pros:

Made my skin feel smooth and mattified, like promised.

Cons:

I find that the toner makes me break out.

Maybe I need an exfoliator, because I have noticed many tiny white/clear bumps around my mouth and chin area. They are only visible if I am looking close-up at my face. I think I'm going to switch back to ProActiv when these bottles are done.

I've been using Normaderm for a few years now, and it's hard to say how it's been working, since my skin tends to fluctuate a lot, sometimes based on outside factors. But this is what I've found: Good products: The night cream, and the targetted spot treatment Unremarkable products: the spf makeup, the gel cleanser, the toner, the concealer pencil - all of these products did not make a noticeable impact on the state of my skin. Sidenote: the blue mattifying non-Normaderm moisturizer is very nice & definitely helps with oily skin.

Pros:

Nice smell, cleanser is nice, day moisturiser makes your skin matte for a long time and reduces red spots well! Night cream feels nice on skin. Foundation works good as a conceiler.

Cons:

Day moisturiser is drying, doesn't moisturise. Alcohol denat 2nd ingredient and it doesn't seem to diminish my acne. Nightcream and foundation contain algae extract, which can be highly comedogenic so test first!! Foundation breaks me out.

I expected more of this. The moisturiser is okay becuase it makes your skin look better immediately after applying, but it is too drying for me to use every day. Won't buy it again. The nightcream felt wonderful but seemed to clog my pores even more after a few weeks, that's when I found out about the algae extract. Foundation broke me out several times after using it as a conceiler locally. Also algae extract! Soo beware of that. The cleanser is alcohol free and quite nice. Might buy that one again. Wouldn't recommend the rest of the line though. Didn't seem to diminish my acne, but then.. I have only used it for a month or so. Maybe should have stayed with the moisturiser longer, but for me it was too drying. And I don't trust the amount of alcohol denat in it. Which is also second ingredient in the foundation, by the way! I like La Roche Posay better up till now.

Pros:

- The anti-imperfection cream smells amazing, gives me a matte finish, and isn't greasy at all.
- normaderm face wash smells good, makes me feel really clean

Cons:

- toner made me break out a lot
- the face wash really dries my skin
- the cream does not moisterize at all, instead it dries on contact and looks horrible under make up... the spot treatment worked well for blackheads but not really for anythi

I use the whole range of normaderm products and honestly, I think it made my skin much worse. My scars are more noticable, my skin is so tight and dry and using the spot treatment does not help at all. I was really hoping this would work :(

Pros:

The smell is pleasant, and thats about all.

Cons:

Significantly worsened acne over period of a few days.

I very rarely write negative reviews on products, but my experience with this one was so terrible, that I have to send out a warning. After months of acne I was finally clear again, but the cleanser I was using left my skin very dry. This product sounded like an excellent candidate for a moisteriser I could wear throughout the day. After the first application it did leave my skin feeling fresh and matte, but within a few hours I noticed a few small pimples emerging. I didnt think much of it, "this is probably my small monthly breakout" so I applyed a small amount again that night. The next morning (in all the areas I applyed the product) my face was totally broken out. Horrified I stopped using it right away. It is months later now and my face has yet to return to how clear it was... To prove my theory, a couple weeks later, I applied a small amount to my temple area (always clear) sure enough, the next morning it was inhabited by pimples. This product may work for some, but not me.

Pros:

Been using it for 3 weeks. Made me break out, I was so disappointed. I felt that the toner was too strong as it made my skin raw so i decided to stop using ti couple of days ago. When i did so i feel that my skin is responding better to the creams

Cons:

Expensive...with that price tag results ought to be faster!

I am not giving up on this product! Especially now that i've gotten rid of the toner. I'm crossing my fingers that will really work and clear me up. My acne is like a volcano-dormant for a few years then bam, back with a vengeance! My problem spot is really my chin. I gambled on NOrmaderm as i feel spot treatment is not appropriate given the situation and i cannot just put on anything as i have sensitive (and oily) skin. When i clear my acne my next focus would be on clearing up the red spots and minimizing the scars (i don't prick but there are minute marks left huhu i'm terrified of scarring)

Pros:

it felt nice on my face.
reduced some oily areas

Cons:

did not help with blemishes.

basically, it was a waste of money and if i had not thrown my receipt out i would have returned it. the normaderm blemish pen does not work at* all and the fash wash did not get rid of any blemishes, made it worse if anything. the toner contained alcohol so thats the only reason why my face stopped being oily. and the moisture lotion did nothing* to shrink my pores. HOLD ONTO YOUR RECEIPT.

smells nice

can sometimes cause irritation (especially around my nose area)
dryness

i've been using vichy normaderm for about 3 weeks now, and i couldnt see any differences the first week or so, but i continued to use it nonetheless, and eventually, my skin started clearing up bit by bit, although i still break out before my period. i've also been using tea tree oil with it too, feels great on your skin!
