I use a more liquid based soap, but I never have gotten bruises and only get red blotches on occasion. Make sure you are letting the brush do the work and are not pushing down hard on your skin. Sorry I couldn't be more of an assistance to you.

If you are getting bruises, then I would discontinue use immediately - you really want to be gentle to your face and may be using it a bit vigorously. The first time I used it, my face was a bit red but I may have been a little vigorous myself. Give your face a chance to heal and then maybe try it again as gently as possible. If you are still reacting, then either try a different soap, or maybe this just isn't the right product for you....??

We returned this because it broke in a few days. My son was the user, not me. He did not have an issue with blotches, and he has very sensitive skin. Perhaps you are using the body brush instead of the facial brush?

I have been using It for a month and have not received bruises or red blotches. I think it would be your cream.

Personally, I feel the need to use something after I remove my make-up with the Bioderma. It might be overkill, but I use a face wash too. However, I have heard from others that they rely on this solution alone to cleanse the face. It has no soap or oil so, I do not see why not. But, it is a personal preference. I have three bottles in my bathroom as I do not want to be without it.

I have not used this on my face, but I suggested this product to a friend of mine and she uses it on her face. I get bumps and breakouts in a different area. What I use and it's never failed is Witch Hazel, specifically T.N. Dickinson's that you can get here or at a co-op or a whole foods grocer. I use an exfoliating sponge (they have them for faces) every day and then after using this thing I use the witch hazel. If I use the witch hazel right after epilating I never have any bumps or breakouts. One must be diligent with the exfoliating and witch hazel to prevent breakouts or bumps with any epilator. FYI, Witch Hazel can be drying. So if you're using this on your face, it could dry your face. I would wait for about 20 minutes afterwards and then put cream on your face...stuff that won't clog your pours like Clarins or Yves Rocher or some other high quality stuff. You'll need less than a size of a pea. I wouldn't mess around with cheap facial cleaners or moisturizers if you're going to put this thing on your face. Cheap stuff might really make you break out because with regular exfoliating and witch hazel you could make yourself break out with cheap stuff.

I'm sure it's different for everyone, but mine only took a week or so to notice the difference. Beware, if one of the products starts to make your face burn or peel, it's probably not the cleanser - I don't use all 3 products anymore, just the cleanser and sometimes the stuff with SPF.

This cream has hydroquinone (max amount is 2%) and it can cause irritation of the skin. My bottle of this cream does not give specific instructions but I used mine on clean dry skin. The cream is left on. This cream can cause irritation so I used a mild soap to bathe with, like Dove or something gentle. I got a rash and itching and redness , so I stopped using the cream. You may not have this problem . I don't know if the cream actually whitens skin.

I would not use this cream at all, day or night. After 5 days of use, I broke out into a bad rash and am still dealing with trying to heal my face back to normal and it's been over 10 days! Some people can use the cream with no bad results but I don't think it's worth taking a chance on it.

Been a while since i had it. Pretty abraisive. All surface area was the same courseness all over it. Turned my skin red when i wasnt gentle with it, but even gentle scrubbing will irritate the skin a little. Maybe thats how theyre supposed to be.

Yes. My problem exactly. This lotion used to be great but they changed the formula a couple years ago and now I can't use it at all- causes terrible breakouts and a burning, red rash. You may be reacting to one of the chemical sunscreens in it (at least that's what my problem is) eg avobenzone or oxybenzone. Either way I'd advise returning it since it will only get worse if you continue using it.

im not sure, i bought it for my daughter and she has oily/combo skin she says it makes her redness goes away? I cant attest to that because I didnt use it.

Hi! no it doesn't stain your face. I do not like it because it doesn't help my skin I have excessive dry skin and it didn't give me the moisture nor give my skin the clarity. I've used skin cream when you put it on you can tell almost immediately that it will work.

I used it on my face with no problem as far as breakouts or any kind of adverse reaction. Problem I have with the product is that, even though I applied it AFTER washing my face in the morning, seems the evening face washing completely removed it. It never stayed- I might as well have been using a bronzing powder if it's just going to wash off!

i never tried it on my face, but if u have really sensitive skin like i do, and if u use it u might get a little red, but its not a very harsh product

Are you cleaning completely before using? Finally, you may just have a reaction to it. Makeups and such do that.

NO. I loved this cream. But after a yr or two I started getting tiny white pustiles on my face. Derm said it was clogging my pores and not the cream for me. Good cream for many other skin types.

Hi Sharon,I don't think you should use it on your face. It says a rash may occur when used on sensitive skin when used on the face. Also, if you go out in the sun it has a sunburn alert. Hope this helps you.Jon

I only use mine twice/week otherwise it irriates my skin. I've had it for 2 months, still about a month left.

I honestly didn't breakout when I used this which is why I loved it. If you broke out from using it then perhaps this product isnt for you :[ or maybe your skin is just adjusting to the product. Give it a couple weeks and if it doesn't go away then it's time to try something new.
