“This is by far the best product I’ve used to help calm my skin. I had a bit of dermatitis on my face and tried changing up my routine and found this product to be the best. All of its ingredients are very calming and help reduce any inflammation.”

“Within four days of using this, the sensitivity and redness on my chin has calmed down and is barely noticeable. It does smell a bit odd, but the smell fades quickly. Highly recommended!”

“Geheimwaffe! Ich war anfangs eher skeptisch, weil in der Bewertung stand, der Geruch sei nicht so angenehm - sicherlich Geschmackssache, aber für das, was dieses Produkt kann ist der absolute Hammer! Ich habe mit Hormoneller Akne zu kämpfen und das Produkt hat mir echt geholfen! Bin sehr begeistert und kann es jedem ans Herz legen, der Schwierigkeiten mit der Haut hat!”

“I’ve been using this serum for about 6 months now, and have just placed an order for a few more bottles - I love it! I have eczema and very sensitive/flaking skin on my face, so was desperate for something gentle that helped these issues while improving fine lines/scars. This serum is exactly that. The first time I used it I did notice a slight smell, however after that first use I didn’t notice the smell anymore. Due to the eczema I can’t use anything with any fragrance, so items not smelling perfumed is something I’m very used to. Would definitely recommend this product to anyone with sensitive skin!”

“My skin seems to love this serum, my nose however, does not! Sinks in nicely to my skin, makes it feel hydrated and calms any redness or irritation. However, as other people have said, the smell is awful. I’ve almost finished my first bottle of this and unsure whether I’d repurchase or recommend due to the smell, despite my skin enjoying it.”

“Works well on very dry and damaged, flakey or patchy skin. This oil has a for me intolerable smell. People describe is as raw meat... I understand that reference although. I can use this on skin far from my face (and nose) as to not smell it, although i avoid using it at all as the smell makes me gag. Is effective for my skin: yes, absolutely. Was it a good buy: not so much, the smell outweighs the pros for me, unfortunately.”

“I developed cystic acne in my late 20s along with dry, red, blotchy and almost rash like skin around my nose, mouth and chin area. I went to the doctors and they prescribed topical antibiotics and a retinoid. This seemed to get the cystic acne more or less under control but my skin continued to be rashy and have somewhat regular breakouts. I tried various Facetheory products over the last two and a half years, such as the Vitamin C Cleanser C1, Regena C20 20% stabilised Vitamin C Serum, Regenacalm 2% Retinol S1, Cera-C Pore Reducing Toner T1, Ceraquench Renewal Cream M6, Relaxing Night Cream M10, and the Amil-C Whip M5 SPF 20. Out of this collection I have found some products I really like and have continued to use, but I never managed to fix my skin's poor texture, redness and breakouts. This winter my skin became even more sensitive and the Regena C20 20% stabilised Vitamin C Serum (the serum I had settled on) seemed to now also be causing my skin to react and become redder. I decided to forget about my breakouts and instead try some products specifically recommended for very sensitive skin - the Balancing Rosehip Oil O3 and Centasoothe Serum S5. I invested in these products 2 months ago and my skin is the best it has been in years. My skin is perfectly hydrated and more or less smooth, even toned, and breakout free. I couldn't be happier. The smell of the Centasoothe Serum S5 is somewhat challenging, and the other reviewers are right when they say it sort of smells like meat but for me it's worth it. Also, once I add the Balancing Rosehip Oil O3 and the Amil-C Whip M5 SPF 20 or Relaxing Night Cream M10 (morning and night respectively) the smell is barely perceptible. I hope this helps other people struggling to find the right routine for them.”
