Customer Ratings & Reviews
I was wrong to think that you shouldn't use oil products on acne-prone skin like mine. I am so glad I sent an enquiry to lamav to seek help and Lucy was so kind to explain in detail. So glad I found lamav, I can truly say it has healed my acne in 6 months. I use 5 products - Double Cleanse with Marula Oil and Sweet Orange Balancing Cleanser, then use Probiotic Toner. After cleansing I use Daily Vitamin C Serum during the day and alternate Bakuchiol 4% Booster and Omega Oil at night. I have a long way to go, but my chin is looking so much better. I will continue to use these products as they have been life changing for me.
I've been using it every night for the past four weeks, and I have started to notice a significant improvement in the overall texture of my skin with brighter looking skin and less discolouration. Fine lines on my forehead have become less obvious and I can’t wait to see further results. It really boosts my daily skincare routine.
