Dryness, acne, redness - all of it gone.
What can I say...
I've been struggling with my skin for YEARS. On and off its been rosacea, acne, seborrheic dermatitis - you name it, I've had it. And no matter what I've tried, these things just seem to come and go - they flare up with no rhyme or reason and then just as I think I've fixed it, its back again a few days later with a vengeance.
If you've ever had dandruff and had the doctors give you Nizoral shampoo, you might know this feeling - no more dandruff after a wash but then it always keeps coming back over the coming days - and worse too.
That's always what's happened with my skin too - even when I'd try brands that were supposed to be derm-friendly or 'gentle': looking at you Cera Ve and Bioderma.
Anyway, after what's basically been years of no real fix to all this (except for the standard stuff - different cleansers, treatments, moisturisers, etc) I started trying to look at underlying health conditions. Gut health, nutritionists, doctors, blood tests, all that stuff.
Long story short, nothing much helped until I stumbled across fjor and the skin microbiome...
And OH. MY. GOD.
The serum was literally the most calming and soothing product I'd ever used. It's honestly gorgeous stuff - and its only gotten better results as I've stopped using all the other 'gentle' cleansers etc and just switched to just fjor:
1 serum, 1 moisturiser, and gentle washing with warm water - that's it.
As a result, the dryness and flakiness around my nose and cheeks was gone in days. Same for the red patches too - especially in my beard and around my hairline. At first I was happy with that result but then after continuing to use my skin has gotten sooo much smoother with smaller pores and less acne too. Also zero itching like before. Such a relief, and my partner has honestly given me more compliments than I can keep up with.
That said, it did seem expensive when I first found it - compared to other skincare I'd used at least. But knowing how useless all the other skincare I'd tried was, I was willing to give it a go, and I'm SO glad I did.
I'm only on bottle 3 after about 4-5 months use now, and the results are so worth it - especially as I now know that the real issue for me was over-cleansing and treating my skin, and this is helping me build up a healthy barrier again after years of issues.
So yes, long story short: if you've ever had issues like mine, stop stressing out your skin microbiome and try fjor's serum. Honestly - it's my skincare for life now.
