“I have developed red irritated rosacea skin within the last year. To add insult to injury I have also developed cystic acne & more run of the mill acne on my chin & upper lip area. It was only after developing some fine mild broken capillaries that I even considered I might have rosacea. After a bit of research I quickly realised I was treating my skin in all the wrong ways. I had visited my GP regarding the acne & was prescribed a liquid antibiotic zinc mixture to apply twice daily. This initially worked but I noticed as soon as I stopped using the liquid the acne would return. I did not want to become reliant on applying antibiotics & began to search for an alternative method. I initially came across an article about Silver Serum & made my way to the Skin Shop website. I have very delicate skin, prone to eczema, so have always been very careful with products used on my skin particularly my face. I ordered the Kalme starter kit plus the Silver Serum to try. I read all the FAQ's and was prepared not to see an initial difference & for my skin to possibly get worse. I was delighted to find that within 48 hours I could see a definite reduction in the redness & my skin had non of the stinging tight feeling that I would get with my old routine. This cleanser is perfect for my skin. I use it with bamboo washable pads rather than cotton wool pads. It instantly soothes my skin & it feels like it cleanses my skin thoroughly. I do double cleanse when I wear any make up due to having acne. I initially bought the starter kit but I have found the night moisturizer is too heavy for me & seemed to exacerbate my blocked pores. Perhaps as my skin heels & balances out further I may be able to use this one. I am 6 weeks in & through a combination of Kalme Cleanser, Silver Serum, Kalme Undercoat and Sebopure, only on a night, my skin finally seems more in balance, redness is reduced, skin texture is great. After adding in the Sebopure my acne has improved massively. So so pleased I found this range. I can not say enough great things about your products!”
“I used to use a muslin cloth type cleansing for several years without realising that it was greatly aggravating my rosacea every time I used it. I used to have very itchy and tight skin, with frequent flushing, and worst of all, red bumps and spots all over my cheeks. In March I ordered the Kalme Basic Kit with no expectations whatsoever. The first time I used the cleanser I was amazed at how it immediately soothed my skin. The Basic Kit alone improved my skin dramatically but the cherry on top was when I added the Kalme Undercoat to my routine a few weeks later. I now use the cleanser in the evening only, I then apply a pretty thick layer of Undercoat and a couple of minutes later the corresponding Day or Night Cream and it has changed my skin and my life. I almost look forward to wiping my face with this cleanser after work in the evening because it's sooo soothing and makes my skin feel so calme (really fits the name). I work from home so I don't often wear make up or foundation. I have to be honest, that when I have worn a full face of make up here and there, it took a few cotton pads to remove it all but that is really the only downside. Apart from that I absolutely love the cleanser and the whole range. Don't ever discontinue please!!!”
“I'm amazed at the dirt the Kalme cleanser pulls off my skin. I use once in a morning and with no water needed its not irritating my skin to cause flair ups. Excellent product last a long time”
“This was a nice consistency and I liked how it came in a good 150ml size. When I used it to clean my face it felt good initially but soon reacted badly so unfortunately this didn't suit my skin and was disappointed but hopefully will work for others.”
“Since I was young I've struggled with facial redness and bumpy, uneven skin but ever since I started using this my skin is in the best condition it ever has been! My redness is now much more under control and my skin is a lot glowier and healthy looking than it used to be, it also always feels clean after application. I've been using for around two years and in the short periods I've stopped there's been a noticeable difference. I would recommend this cleanser to anyone with skin like mine :)”
“I was introduced to the Kalme range Of products at the age of 72 and have been using them regularly now for the last five years.
At my age I thought my skin couldn’t improve - how wrong I was, my skin improved within the first two weeks and the redness started to really calm down. I have used so many products over the years with little success I only wish someone had introduced me to this range years ago..”
“Wasn't sure about a waterless cleaner. Reminds me of my grandma using Ponds. However I'm a convert. It's great, you can see the gross stuff coming off on the cotton pad and I don't feel dry on my rosacea prone skin at all. Will definitely be ordering more.”
“This cleanser has made a huge difference. I already had the Rosacea redness under control with the day defence and night repair creams but i was convinced the odd break outs needed salicylic treatment....i was wrong and after using this cream cleanser the results have been amazing and i wish i'd started using it a lot earlier. For me the Kalme range has helped manage this relentless 'wildfire' like skin condition”
