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 also have the combination skin. I haven't had any problems. I'm not sure how it does it, but it moisturizes the T zone without causing extra oiliness or breakouts, and the dry areas are moisturized and not dry. I love it and use it all year round!

It seems to work well at reducing sun (aging) spots on hands, arms, etc. For my face, I've found the best thing for general texture is prescription Retin A. However, myself and friends are happy with the Aqua Glycolic as a great hand/body lotion. It isn't greasy at all, absorbs very quickly and leaves skin very, very soft and nice. I also hear the hand/body lotion can be used on the face.....no need to buy the face lotion (this from a dermatologist). So, give it a try. As for acne scars it does exfoliate, but that deeply, I don't know.

I have not applied it to my face because my face is ultra sensitive!! I cant even wear sunscreen for faces only because it breaks me out. But,I could see where it would work great because it glides on so evenly and silky. Especially if you applied it with a facial moisturizer. You'd get subtle color immediately and a darker tan in several hours. Don't let the color or consistency freak you out when pumping it out of the bottle!!

I am using it on my face. My eczema came on suddenly and severely. Tried moisturizers, they didn't work. My face itched all night. But this calmed and moisturized right away. I'm in my 2nd day and my skin feels good. Am using a couple of times of day now but expect will decrease as it gets under control

I did not use it for my face. But I have heard it does remove and help with brown marks on your face. I use palmers skin~ tone cream for my face ever since I was 15, I am 46 now. This cream my mom has used has well and her skin is beautiful and she is 82. This cream was past down to all of my sisters. I hope this is useful. I use the oil for my legs and it works wonderfully.

You can use it just like any face cream. Or, apply to the facial area of your concern. I don't think this is intended to be applied to spots only.

Also. I realize everyone's skin is different but mine tends to break out easily when using face creams, lotions, etc This C20 made my skin break out. The current one I use is lighter feeling. . And actually keeps my face breakout free.

I suggest clean your face first. But I also recommend using that gel in a small amount see how it works. Bc I got really bad rash on my underarms using the cream. I know you have the gel but who knows face is more delicate. Wish you the best of luck. Please let me know how it works mayte05latina@hotmail.com

I don't know enough about dermatology to answer particularly about dents. I just know that it really helped to fix the red spots from old zits. It doesn't clog my pores and I'm pretty sensitive. I still recommend it. Especially if you're a guy who shaves his face frequently.

I have not used it for facial hair, but do use it on bikini line. It works great in difficult nooks, cranies and corners. Having never used it on my face, I can't speak to how painful it is, but I would guess that it is certainly no worse than waxing. (For me, the pain really isn't bad so I may be insensitive, but I would definitely recommend this method of hair removal over all others that I've used.)

i do plan to use it, when my facial hair has grown a little . I imagine it will be just as painful as anywhere else there is sensitive skin. But make sure your skin it exfoliated and do later in the day,skin is less puffy and you'll have time to moisturise and deal with any redness that can occur, before the next day and putting any makeup on.

I have very sensitive skin prone to breakouts so I am very particular what products I use on my face. Nia 24 is fabulous- I have been using it for a few years and have never had a problem with breakouts. I highly recommend this!

I use it in place of another wash. It's very creamy, and feels good when u massage it in your face. Sometimes I don't feel like it gets ALL of the makeup off, so i will do another round (I have very oily skin). Anyway, this is a great product, but if u r looking for something for acne, look at the jan Marini benzoyl peroxide topical treatment. It comes in a 5% and 10%. It works GREAT. I am 38 and and still get black and whiteheads sometimes. If I use this faithfully every night, it keeps me from breaking out. My aesthetician recommended it and I have found that it is much cheaper on Amazon than at the salon. Good Luck!

For some, peels and laser work, for others, not. I had laser, and it wasn't successful on the spots that remain. Even though I have spots, my skin overall is in excellent condition, and I attribute some of this to Philosophy's Microdelivery Peel, Exfoliating wash, and the MW pads. Facial spots can really be a distress; I think I've gotten to the point where they're very manageable without me getting crazy over them any longer. Good luck!

I use mine exclusively on my face. I actually have really sensitive skin and despite the fact that this feels kind of greasy, it hasn't led to any more breakouts.
