| Amazing product! Review by Jacquelyn |
|
I received a sample of this product almost two weeks ago and started using it. I think on the 5th day, I didn't see a single blackhead or whitehead anywhere on my skin!! I'm now willing to get the full size of this product so that I can keep using it and add it to my skin care routine!

| Feels very dewy and a lot less oily Review by Nikki |
|
I put Skin Action Sebum Gel on right after I wash my face with my cleaners, etc. I use this 2x a day, in the day time & night time. This particular serum has a slight peppermint scent to it, which I love, by the way. I also love how it doesn’t leave my face all oily or feeling greasy. It actually has a matte finish which is awesome. What I love about it is it does what it claims! It gives my face this matte finish that makes it feel oil-free. My skin now feels very dewy and a lot less oily. It only takes me about 2 small pumps or 1 big one to cover my whole face or areas that are on the oiler side. I love this products a whole lot!!!!!Read more

| Results in 5 days Review by idreamofmac |
|
While the website states that you will see results in 10 days, I saw results in as little as 5.
After 5 days
Skin Action Sebum Gel clearly reduced not only the redness of the bumps, but the bumbs all together. I am really thankful for this product and will most definitely be purchasing this product once I run out.
And after a full 2 and a half weeks.
My white heads are pretty much gone! I did have one small blemish the day the photo was taken but it was the only blemish I got while using this product. Im pretty sure its a HG. Read more

| 80% cleared up Review by Tiffany |
|
Within a few days I saw a noticeable difference in the appearance of the blackheads on my nose, as they are always present in copious amounts no matter what I do to try to get rid of them. I was pleasantly surprised that after only 2 weeks of using Skin Action Sebum Gel, the blackheads on my nose are about 80% cleared up! Read more

| Reduce Oiliness of my T-zone Review by Jian |
|
Actually I think it did a pretty fair job. I did indeed find that with twice daily use it reduced the oiliness of my T-zone ever so slightly, and also reduced the amount of whiteheads on my nose slightly.
In terms of it's scent, it's a very strong menthol-type smell, which basically clears your nose! It's actually very refreshing, but it only lasts a few seconds because the smell soon evaporates to leave no scent whatsoever.
I also like this product because it leaves no trace of sticky film after you've applied it. Read more

| My congestion had improved Review by Jenn |
|
The gel [Skin Action Gel Plus] comes out clear and has a minty/menthol type of smell but it's not noticeable once you apply the product. I use it after cleansing and toning day and night. I concentrate it on my t-zone and blend out any excess to the rest of my face. After a few weeks, I did start to notice that my congestion had improved. I still get the occasional bumps but they are definitely fewer in number. In terms of controlling oiliness, I did not notice as much of a change but that has never been a major concern for me. The gel costs $51 usd but a little goes a long way. I use the gel day and night and one bottle has lasted about 6 months. Read more

| help control oil production Review by Lizzard |
|
On to the good stuff...
Cellnique says the benefits include:
• Controls excessive sebum -> Agreed. The oils in my skin have been feeling under control, especially with the hot and sticky weather we have been having on the east coast.
• Reduces the formation of blackheads and whiteheads -> Agreed. My skin has been feeling more controlled and this is probably due to the fact that the oils it is producing are under control.
• Reduces skin inflammatory -> I’m not really sure what this is referring to, but my face hasn’t been feeling swelled nor have I gotten a pimple from this. Yippee!
• Controls and prevents breakouts -> This has not made me breakout.
• Increases skin moistures and improves skin elasticity -> I can’t say I agree or disagree with this comment because my skin has been feeling good, but I also have been wearing moisturizer over this gel as I was instructed to do so.
• Anti-irritation -> Again, this did not make me breakout nor have I had any sort of allergic reaction to it (thank goodness!).

| Prevented Break Outs and Improved how my skin looked. Review by Courtney |
|
I recently received this in the mail (sample). I have to say that this did the job. Although I didn't apply on my T-Zone I used this primarily for my nose and black heads. The product is light, glides on, and I don't even notice the peppermint smell! I don't notice a tingly feeling either (maybe it's just me!), and I have to say I love this product and look forward to ordering soon! What I don't like is how much it costs.. but I guess great skin costs money - haha! I have to say, this made my skin feel smoother, and reduced some redness I had (from dry, irritated spots.) I apply this in the morning and at night time after my daily face washing routine.. This product is great! :)

| No pimples at all! Review by Adrina |
|
I like the scent and texture of this product. It has a minty after effect on the skin and best of all, it does not leave any sticky feeling.
After I started using it, I have had no new pimples at all! This is amazing as before this, I always had 3 - 4 pimples on my face. When old ones dry up, new ones pop out. So this product has totally helped me get rid of my biggest problem. I use it religiously every morning and night.
As a side note, it didn't appear to do much for my oiliness problem and blackheads.

| An amazing product. Review by Melanie |
|
This product does everything it says and more. I would say, a miricle product and perfect for part of a daily routine. It feels so light on your skin and I found It cleared up a everything and gave me that model complexion. One of my biggest problem areas is no longer an issue. Lately, I have had absolutely no spots at all to deal with and not even a blemish. I've actually had no horrible summer shine to my skin and I feel and look amazing for hours. This product is worth every penny and I will be stocking up very soon.

| Bye Bye whiteheads! Review by Nori |
|
What a great product! 2 months after use, I no longer had facial congestion and whiteheads which were troubling me for the past 1 year! Even my facialist commented on the smoothness of my skin. I'm just glad extraction is no longer painful during my facials. Thanks Cellnique for this wonderful product!

| Lessen the oiliness of my T-zone Review by Princesa Livia |
|
...It's a bit minty on the skin, which I really like as it feels really refreshing! I apply it on my T-zone (across forehead, down my nose and chin) after the former product. I find that it actually does lessen the oiliness of my T-zone, but not that much that it really mattifies. It doesn't feel tight and my skin really likes it... Read more

| The blackheads on my nose have gradually disappeared Review by Anita |
|
...It pumps out as a clear gel with a really refreshing scent that also spreads and absorbs quickly without leaving your skin feeling sticky after. I use a very small amount on my T-zone and around my nose where I'm usually congested. I don't use a face primer when I use this because it does the trick just fine. I think it compliments the Skin Action Gel Plus well. One of the things I really appreciate is that my skin hasn't dried out from using either of these serums. With the help of these two products together, I haven't gotten any new acne since starting these products and the blackheads on my nose have gradually disappeared. I can't say anything about whiteheads since I don't have any to start with, but this is another winner in my books!... Read more

| My Favorite product Review by LipGlossGossip |
|
...This is my favorite product out of everything I tried.
I've been using this on my T-zone and I really see a difference in my pores on my nose. I have also been using it as a spot treatment and on my chin. If I get a blemish I dab some of this on it at night and the next morning it has significantly reduced the size and appearance of it. This also has a peppermint smell and gives a cooling/tingly feeling on your skin. I love it!... Read more

| My white heads went away, pimples have reduced in size Review by Mslovelylia |
|
...Once I applied item to my skin, I had a cooling sensation. It's pretty mild and the gel is clear and dries very quickly. I was breaking out the most during my tough times. After a few days (3-4) my white heads went away and not only that, pimples have reduced in size. Blackheads on my nose seems to have gotten smaller and not so noticable. I usually moisturize after it dries so it doesn't dry out my skin. Now, I've been using this product for 2 weeks, this gel def. keeps pimples and whiteheads away. This product is definitely worth buying!! I will once again buy for longer usage. BTW, they ship DHL fast! for FREE!! They also give you a same sampler of other skincare products they carry. Great customer service as well... Read more

| It lessened the severity of the blackheads Review by Musicalhouses |
|
...The Skin Action Sebum Gel has a light texture, which I really like. It's a gel, and it has a pretty nice consistency - it's not too thick or too watery, and it applies well. It also has a nice minty smell, and it tingles as it goes on. I personally didn't mind the tingly sensation, but this is a matter of personal preference - I know of friends who like the tingly feel as it convinces them the product is working, while others with hyper-sensitive skin don't like the tingling sensation... So when I used this on my nose, I was thinking, "Ah well, I'll just use it for a couple of weeks, and mention that there wasn't a difference for my blackheads, just like any other product", but it did make some difference. It didn't make them all disappear (if it did I would have been REALLY surprised), but it lessened the severity of the blackheads. As you can see, they're smaller, and less deeply embedded...

| 99.9% blemish free since using it Review by Irene |
|
I still LOVE it because I have been about 99.9% blemish free since using it. You know when you get that feeling that a giant pimple is preparing to bust out and ruin your entire week? Like you can feel it right under the surface, but it's not quite ripe yet? (sorry for the graphic-ness, but I am trying to illustrate a point!) Well, this happened just a few days ago...I just dabbed a little bit on the area on my nose before bed, and the pimple never came to a head. It just *poof* - disappeared! The day/week is saved again!!!... Read more

| Blackheads on my nose are hard to be spotted now Review by shaynaJo |

...after the first week of day and night applications, I see drastic changes on my skin. *I am not kidding* The used to be stubborn spots on the lower part of my cheeks and my chin were gone. The whiteheads on my chins and T-zone of my forehead that I religiously pull out everynight were gone too. Blackheads on my nose are hard to be spotted now. So basically, this sebum gel works well for me!... Read more

...I applied a little dollop of the gel, with the tip of my fingers, to my face, concentrating on my T-zone area. It had a very immediate cooling sensation, but that wore off quickly right after I applied the Face Oasis.
After 1 week: Rarely does a skincare product work so fast, but after a week I noticed that there was a lot less congestion in my skin. My pores were clearer and my skin was smoother... Read more

| My blackheads on my cheeks literally started to fall off.. Review by Lindah |
|
I use this on a daily basis and it's made it into my routine in the morning! I really love this stuff and I guess it really does its job. The first week of using it my blackheads on my cheeks literally started to fall off.. well I guess I kinda helped pull it out but still, it got rid of most of my cheek blackheads which is great so that I don't get more cystic acne! ^_^ It has a tingling (menthol) sensation at first when I apply it but after 5 minutes or less it'll go away. I'm not sure if it really controls my oil secretion but it doesn't make it worse. This is another product I would highly recommend! :D Read more

Frequently Asked Questions
Apply Skin Action Sebum Gel on a cleansed and after toned face until it is thoroughly absorbed and do not rinse off, followed by your other daily routine such as moisturizer or sun protection.
The formation of blackheads and whiteheads is caused by the excessive sebum secrete from sebaceous glands which found deep in our skin layers. Skin Action Sebum Gel works to control the sebum secretion regulating, and soften the clogged sebum to reduce all blackheads and whiteheads. It is further enhance with benefits such as hydration, soothing, strengthen skin immune system, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and thus, promoting a clear and smooth skin!
It is recommended to reduce the amount and sequence of usage when desire result is achieved. However, it is highly recommended to continue the usage of Skin Action Sebum Gel to prevent new breakouts. (use Skin Action Sebum Gel by alternate day in your daily beauty routine).
There might be a lot of reasons of why Skin Action Sebum Gel doesn’t work on your blackheads and whiteheads. Here are the possible reasons:
| • |

| • |
It is highly recommended to perform a double cleansing step to ensure your skin is cleansed from all traces of impurities and debris; choose a cleanser that helps remove dead skin cells and excessive sebum will be the best option. (read more on Gentle Foaming Cleanser). |
| • |
It is important to use a moisturizer to hydrate your skin, a dehydrated skin will accelerate sebaceous glands to produce more sebum, resulting in more blackheads and whiteheads. While sun protection helps protect the skin from the skin-damaging UVA and UVB rays. Over exposure to the sun without sun protection will thicken the skin which contributes to blackheads and whiteheads. |
| • |
It is highly recommended you to follow the usage of Skin Action Sebum Gel to achieve desire results: use at least 3 pumps to apply on whole face daily, am and pm, after cleansing and toning, before moisturizer and sun protection. |
| • |
There are a lot of factors that caused blackheads and whiteheads such as hormonal changes; menstruation; too much stress or tension; personal lifestyle habits; environment irritants and etc. It is important for you to understand your root of problem and maintain a healthy lifestyle in order to treat any of your skin problems and concerns. |
This is part of the healing process which only happens to very dehydrated skin. The application of Skin Action Sebum Gel will help regulates excessive sebum to the surface of the skin, further to normalize and control the sebum secretion with its unique combination of 3 main active ingredients; Tea tree leave oil + Peppermint oil + Witch hazels extract.
Skin Action Sebum Gel works excellent on oily and congested skin to helps reduce both blackheads and whiteheads and control oiliness at the same time. But when skin is/became dehydrated or lack of hydration on skin surface, it could stimulate the sebaceous gland which will produce more oil and become more congested. To solve such skin problems, you need to change your daily skin care routine by adding in hydration instead of only oil control item. Recommended hydration product will be Intensive Hydrating Complex, Intensive Hydrating Oasis Gel and Intensive Soothing & Hydrating Masque.
