Luzern Skincare: Can it Really Combat Acne?
Luzern Skincare products claim that they can combat acne. However, how effective are they? After all, most skincare companies on the market today claim to be able to do the same thing. Is Luzern any different and what do customers have to say about the products?
For the products that attack acne, Luzern skincare has Serum Absoluts. These products are supposed to be low in additives and you can apply them three ways: by mixing them in the palm of your hand with your moisturizer, applying them directly to your troubled spots, or by adding them to a Luzern mask.
The first acne product is the Serum Control Absolut. For .8 ounces you pay $75. It is supposed to control surface oil and is not supposed to be dry your skin out. It uses salicylic acid, a common acne ingredient, as well as “Swiss organic botanicals”, and niacinamide. Not only does it reduce the inflammation, but it also reduces the bacteria that causes acne. It does not contain parabens, sulfates, or synthetic fragrances.
The Serum Rosacea Care Absolut is produced for those suffering from Rosacea but since some forms of acne mimic Rosacea it could be good for those people as well. It builds collagen and reduces redness and itching attributed to the skin condition. Cost, again, is $75 for .8 oz.
The Pure Cleansing Gelee is a soft facial cleanser that is gel-like and will not dry out your skin. It is supposed to be good for acne prone skin as it does not contain any irritants. Price is $35 for 5 oz.
Luzern Skincare products do not employ animal testing. The thing that sets the company apart is that they use organic products. Most of their ingredients have names like Horse Chestnut, cypress, and Linden. For anti-aging products, green tea is also utilized as is grape seed extract. Being located in the Alps, even Edelweiss is used, presumably as an extract.
However, do the products work? After all, they are rather on the expensive side.
The verdict is that, according to the reviews, they do. People with Rosacea have admitted that the serum meant for controlling it has been effective in flare-ups. However, certain acne types have not been so enthused about the acne products. While small breakouts that include pimples with noticeable heads are controlled by the serum, cyst-like acne was not helped at all.
Some users claimed that if they had cystic acne, the serum meant for Rosacea helped them as far as the redness went, but did little to make the acne disappear any faster.
The regular Luzern Skincare moisturizers and anti aging creams fared better. Most everyone agreed that the organic products and collagen boosting ingredients made their skin more soft and supple. In addition, the fact that the ingredients are mixed in small batches and not generated en masse appeared to make people even more excited about purchasing them. The idea of Edelweiss extract seemed to help, too.
