Stubborn acne

7 things people with stubborn acne wish they had known sooner

What we have learned from the people who came to us having tried everything else.

Mortar and pestle with Chinese herbs
1

Deep, sore breakouts rarely start at the surface

Topical products aren't usually the answer to acne. The painful, under-the-skin spots along the jawline, chin and cheeks tend to start from within, which is why it keeps returning. Zilch Acne Formula was designed to target the root cause from the inside out for lasting results.

2

Your cycle may be affecting your skin

If your acne shows up the week before your period, or is worse for the second half of your cycle, you are not imagining it. Hormonal acne follows this pattern, and breakouts tend to cluster on the cheeks, chin and jaw.

3

Coming off the pill can mean a resurgence of acne

It is one of the most common stories in our reviews. Skin that behaved for years can struggle for months once the pill stops. Acne resulting from coming off the pill while your body is trying to adjust to a new normal is common. Zilch Acne Formula can help.

4

More products isn't always better

The instinct is to add another step. Most of the people who find us have already tried the cleansers, the acids, the serums and the patches. Layering more onto the surface rarely fixes what is happening underneath and can sometimes irritate and damage the skin barrier, worsening symptoms.

5

Rest and sleep plays a major role

Sleep is when your body rests and repairs, and this plays a major role in inflammation levels in the body. Prioritising your sleep is an important step in your journey to clear skin.

6

Real change is measured in weeks

WEEK 2

Calmer, less sore

Less redness, less soreness. If your acne is the deep, painful kind, that's usually the first thing you notice.

WEEK 4

End of bottle one

Most people report significantly clearer skin. Fewer new breakouts, and they settle faster.

WEEKS 6 TO 8

Calm, week to week

Not really breaking out much, and skin is calm week to week.

Most users notice inflammation and redness calming within 2 to 3 weeks, with more significant improvements from week 4 onward.

Some users experience a short adjustment period at the beginning as the formula starts working from within and this is when most people give up. Your skin should settle within 7-10 days.

7

You've spent thousands, and countless years of a non-stop cycle of acne products. We will never claim a product can work for everyone, but we're so confident it's worth trying, that Zilch Acne Formula is backed by a 60 Day Clearer Skin Guarantee when you start with 2 or more bottles.
