I am still getting spots on face, neck, also a few on my shoulders. I have had patch test for allergys, I am allergic to Lanolin Alchohol, fragrances/parfumes also not to purchase anything that says hyperallorgenic as it could be dangerous to my skin the other was Nickel which was a mild reaction the rest were strong. Now trying to find moisturiers and tinted sunblock and tinted makeup for when I have the occasional day when my skin seems ok to wear something to cover up the redness and spots. I have been trying cetraphil gentle wash and moisture cream and putting it over the metrogel which peels when dries I havnt noticed any change yet. Would be glad of anybody who knows of anything which would be safe for me to try. Hazell I have sebboreic dermatitis and roscea for 10 month now, at present on metrogel 3 weeks also antibiotics.

I read the back of the bottle and it claimed to smooth skin and clear without drying. I was looking for a "glowing, balanced complexion" and it was exactly what I got! I've been using it for two weeks and here's what I think so far: Pros - Leaves skin feeling really clean and smooth, has a great pump dispenser. A little bit of the serum definitelt goes a long way. There is a great light scent, which I think comes from the hibiscus. It also helped a cystic pimple heal and it is actually fading dark spots and giving me an even compexion (In just two weeks!) Cons - Since the serum is so powerful, you dont really need to use it everyday. A moisturizer should be used daily. The serum can be used every other day. . . I have since decided to purchase on the website, because in the Whole Foods they are way more expensive...i think of the madefromearth website its only $14....well worth it...
