‘Evologie does it all in three hero products’
It’s not often a breakthrough product comes along but when it does we like to spread the word to anyone who is interested (and probably those who aren’t too). Evologie have just flown in from the States to land in the swanky shop that is Space NK. Now don’t run elsewhere when we say this product is aimed at acne-sufferers – yes, it’s a miracle worker for irritated and breakout-prone skin – but it’s also somewhat of an all-rounder, working to even skin tone, hydrate and restore optimal skin health. Interested? You should be. What’s more, all Evologie products are backed by innovation and supervised clinical testing meaning they actually work at a scientific, folk in lab coats level.
While acne cream veterans will have found the mildly aggravating results of products with benzoyl peroxide – goodbye nice white pillowcase, hello piece of fabric that resembles a failed tie-dye experiment – Evologie are benzoyl peroxide and paraben free meaning none of the added stress of tricky products. Fun fact, science isn’t totally sure yet about the disadvantages of parabens (a preservative used to stop fungus and bacteria from growing in creams) but we do know that after using a pro-paraben product, the stuff can be found in the blood stream, meaning the chemicals can be absorbed and metabolised – so best to stay clear for now.
So for those of you not wanting to fuss about with other brands, happily Evologie does it all in three hero products. The Stay Clear Cleanser is a face wash which you massage into the skin until it forms a gentle lather, then wash off. If you suffer from spots on your back or chest as well, this is a great one to keep for your morning shower. Next up is the Intensive Blemish Serum, a formula that targets spots specifically, so apply it directly onto blemishes, scars or discolouration areas morning and night to clean up your skin in no time. The final product is the Stay Clear Cream which should be used in the morning all over the face to keep skin visibly clear, healthy and happy. Our testers abandoned all their other face creams to put Evologie to the test and found a difference the very next morning! The products work super quickly and intensively to eradicate spots while keeping skin nice and hydrated, so no excessive moisturising necessary the morning after. Our guys also found it a relief to have an all-encompassing range – not having to think of using which products when means more time to ask people to stroke your super soft silky skin…or something. They also found the Stay Clear Cream is great for preventing in-grown hairs post-shave, so look no further!
Verdict: ‘Acne? Sorted. No acne? Still sorted.’
