Mr MizzWorthy reviews... GloTherapeutics Skin Care.

I was given these products ages ago to test out, however as they are aimed at acne sufferers, I decided against using them on my skin - although I have had breakouts in the past, I wouldn't say I have acne, or acne prone skin... Mr MizzWorthy was very excited when he saw them though (well, he kind of looked at them quizzically and asked, "Whats so special about them? I don't mind giving them a go for you" - this is skincare excitement for Mr MizzWorthy...)

A little bit about Mr MizzWorthy - He's a swarthy mediteranean type, but he's also a bit sensitive, suffering the double edged sword of eczema as well as facial acne.

The GloClear line from GloTherapeutic is clearly aimed at the high end of the market... Available at Renew Medica Skincare Clinics, and Wigmore Pharmacy.

This is fine for people living in London, but limited access for the rest of us, means I wouldn't normally put this product on the blog... But Mr MizzWorthy really liked one of the products (to both of our surprise), so to celebrate this momentous occasion, I thought I'd do a quick review
It's not cheap either - The cleansers are both £27.85, and the pads are £31.51... I warned you this was aimed at the hight end of the market...

The packaging is quite nice - fairly clinical looking boxes, but the pump bottles themselves (made of plastic, so no dropsy bathroom mishaps can occur) are vaguely reminiscent of Neils Yard packaging in that they are blue, and... well, thats about it really! Oh, a good feature is that the pump is lockable and so easily transportable.

Mr Mizzworthy felt that the packaging was "excessive" - "You could probably knock a quid off production costs easily by getting rid of the boxes" - He's a silver tongued devil! Still, Men are from Mars and all that jazz... To be fair though he does kind of have a point. The bottles are quite small given the size of the boxes...


Mr MizzWorthy was most impressed with the GloClear Anti-Blemish Cleanser. Initially, he wasn't expecting much, even when he discovered that this contains 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide "Panoxyl make one too!", however we were both pleased with the results of this - In the two years we've known eack other his skin has never looked so clear. Mr MizzWorthy says "This is the best one for people with ongoing acne and not just a few spots... I noticed that I wasn't waking up with morning pimples and I definitely noticed my skin got worse when I didn't use it" I noticed this too for the record! Success all round then - Mr MizzWorthy did not like the price however! Myself on the other hand - I've spent similar amounts on cleansers and so I guess it's an individual choice!

Sadly the swarthiness of his bistles meant he had limited success with the cleansing pads - His manly bristles just shredded them...

He also tried the Acne Cleanser, which contains Salicylic acid and Scrubbing beads. This treatment is more aimed at people with occasional blemishes and breakouts - its a treatment rather than a preventitive maintenence product. This does lather well, and the foam is heat activated, which is a bit different too... (I mean it's activated by your body temperature...)

While Mr MizzWorthy may baulk at the price of these products I know full well that some readers will spend this much on skincare, while others will also be horrified... The limited availability of the range is also a bit of an issue... The positive reaction (in relative terms) of Mr MizzWorthy meant that I wanted to tell you all about the range though... Mr MizzWorthy is not easily impressed by skincare, after all!

Have any of you tried any products from this range?
