Spectro Jel : Cleanser for Blemish Prone Skin

Great so far!!

I use SpectroDerm to clean my tattoos when they are healing. I ran out of my normal cleanser one day (just one of those random noxema ones.. i was always changing never bought the same stuff twice because i didnt like em) so i decided to use that to clean my face til i had a chance to run to the store. I really liked it, and when i bought the one for oily skin it worked even better! But face is usually oily all day no matter what but now it stays mat all day! It works best if you rinse your face with really warm/hot water for a couple of splashes, then the jel for 30-45 sec, gently massage, rinse thoroughly, then rinse with really cold water. my regimen: Avene Make Up remover ... but instead of rubbing off i wash it off SpectroJel witch hazel 2.5% bp as spot treatment only (but im pretty clear now vichy mattifying moisteriser for sensitive skin

I have been using spectro jel religiously (twice a day, 30 seconds) due to the rave reviews I have seen on various websites. Initially, it smells a bit like glue, but you'll get used to it I have been using Cetaphil Sensitive Skin before I started using this, and I had no pimples whatsoever on my cheeks. After couple of weeks after SJ, my cheeks gradually broke out more and more. This continued to the point where I could just not take it anymore due to scarring, so I switched back to Cetaphil, and my face cleared within couple of days. This may work on some skin types, but in my case, it clearly did not.

This product is amazing. It really makes my skin soft, and incredibly clear. Whenever I wander off to another product, you can tell! My face looks dull, dry and oily and my acne either doesn't improve or gets worse. So then I come back to this and the next day I'm back to almost clear skin. The cons of this product are easily fixed. I just apply mineral powder to my shiny areas and it absorbs the oil and I use Nivea Refreshing Toner which takes off my makeup. And at 11.00 for a 500 ml bottle which will probably last you like a year, it is EXTREMELY affordable.

It is extremely gentle, but it doesn't feel clean. I've been using this product for over a year already. I can't seem to find any other products that suits my skin, but I am still on this product. I don't like it much because it doesn't make me feel clean or makes me feel that it changes my skin much. I would recommend it to people that have light acne, because it really doesn't seem to do much to the skin and I don't even feel clean (sometimes I have to wash my face twice to get the fresh skin feeling).

i started using it as pharmacist in shoppers drug mart told me its good and i heard lots of positive opinions. after first use my skin didnt change after second it was better, then it was just being worse. id never recommend that product.

This is pretty awful. I have super, super sensitive dry skin, and this really didn't work for me.

I would recomend this product for people who have the time/take the time to wash their face twice a day, and those who don't have sensitive skin - I have sensitive skin. ):

I don't quite know if it works at all for me, but after I started using it I got a huge zit on my nose

I have sensitive skin with light acne.My sister reccomended spectro jel to me but I found that it did nothing for my skin at all.I switched to cetaphil.Cetaphil is for sensitive skin as well but smells great is at a reasonable price and i actually noticed my skin getting clearer with cetaphil.Do not waste your money on Spectro Jel , go for CETAPHIL!
