My sister bought a tiny jar of Angel Sue Pimple Cream at the department store last December of 2010. It was a random buy. She had been breaking out and we were looking for something to help her with her pimples. We were ignorant about pimple creams then. We didn't know which brand works and which one doesn't. Also I wasn't a blogger then so I had no idea there are such things as product reviews. One of Angel Sue's sales rep approached us and he was quick to sell their pimple cream. Because it costs P300 for a jar that contains only 3g product, we were hesitant but gave in to the offer nonetheless. And although it was a random, almost impulsive buy, we had no regrets. It worked!
Two years after, after having tried quite a number of pimple creams and gels, I still had this one in my mind. So when I started breaking out again after all the fatty and greasy food I ate last December of 2012, I bought my own Angel Sue Pimple Cream.
It's curious why there isn't much review of this in the internet. It might be because Angel Sue is a young company. You can easily tell by the packaging of their product. The label is just a sticker. There was a list of ingredients included, but it was held in place by a scotch tape. Needless to say I already lost it. You can read more about Angel Sue in their website here.
Claims:A very unique formula enriched of licorice extract that whitens the skin and chamomile extract to protect the skin from allergies, tea tree and aloe vera extract which is highly effective in eliminating acne, remove pimple scars in maximum of 60 days, cleanses and closes pores, maintains skin tone and imparts healthy glowing face. Cure pimples in just 5 to 7 days.
Note: Money back guarantee if not visible results seen in 7 days from date purchase just keep the receipt.
I like that they don't really have outrageous claims. Pimple is cured in 5 to 7 days, they say. I think that's a decent promise. They're quite bold with their money back guarantee too. And since their sales agent in various malls are easy to engage with, then it'll probably be easy to inquire about this further. I haven't tried doing that though. Pimples always disappear before 5 days for me.
Texture and Smell:The product is a beige viscous cream. It isn't sticky. It quickly dries in your face and if you spread it really thin, you can even wear make-up over it. It smells slightly minty, like a liniment. Once applied, there's a slight minty/stinging sensation.
Effectiveness:I only get little bumps for pimples right now. Sometimes, the bump is huge, but there's no yellow puss. I find this kind of pimple harder to control though because there's nothing to squeeze out. Angel Sue Pimple Cream helps lessen the inflammation so the pimple disappears in less than 5 days. Back when my sister had been using this she noticed that the product dries out her pimples after a night or two. I like that there's no peeling for me.
I can't remember if there's any expiration date on that little piece of paper where the ingredients are. The basic rule though is that products usually last as long as 2 years only. At the photo above, you can see the old Angel Sue Pimple Cream that my sister bought two years ago. It's already dried up. My sister said it's still effective even if it's dried up. But she stopped using it as it might be expired already.
Availability:I've been seeing Angel Sue stalls in different malls. But the Angel Sue Pimple Cream might have been popular because their smallest jar (3g) is always out of stock.
Likes:It works!No peeling.No unpleasant smellPrice is still within the reasonable rangeClaims are backed up by a money back guarantee
Dislikes:Stings a bit.Packaging could be improved
Repurchase?YES
Recommend?Yes.
HOWEVER,I can't vouch for the safety of this product as I lost the list of ingredients and I can't find one on their website. The stinging sensation that I feel might be worse for people with sensitive skin.
Any pimple cream or gel that you can recommend? I already tried Garnier's and Clean and Clear's.
