    I've been using Diacneal for 3 months now, although I haven't been very good at using it regularly. So far I am quite impressed, my blemishes seem to heal faster, and, more importantly, it seems to...

    This has delivered significantly more anti-ageing benefits than any OTC product I've tried and I've tried many and spent ££££! It is a potent glycolic acid / retinaldehyde formula that smooths skin...

    After reading loads of reviews i decided it was time for me to try this product. I had clear skin about 2-3 years ago but after moving to London I've had mild but consistent acne, and clogged pores...

    Bah, hate this stuff! After getting microdermabrasion for the first time I was pressurised into buying this as part of an "anti-acne" kit. I used it religiously for several months on the insistence...

    Diacneal really helps unclog pores. I've gone through two tubes of diacneal already. I do love it, however i find that it dry out my skin a bit and thins out my skin a bit as well. When my skin is...

    It was recommended to me by a French dermatologist. As many over reviewers, I saw absolutely no difference in my skin. What's worse, it made my forehead very dry. Took weeks to repair the damage....

    I'm a tremendous believer in Diacneal--it's an absolute godsend, in my experience. Prior to discovering Avene via MUA, I was using Retin A, but only intermittently because it ravaged my skin. Not...

    I picked this up in Canada for less than about $25. It's much cheaper than Avene Eluage which I also use. It comes in a small plastic tube so it is hygenic. The formula of this is slightly tacky on...

    I really like this stuff- ahigh quality product that is reasonable priced. It really helps with the acne on my face and seems to be working on the scars.
