Lifelong acne sufferer praises £16 purchase to clear skin ‘when all else failed’

Clarol’s Silver Serum contains microsilver, an antibacterial ingredient that kills bad bacteria and fades blemishes.

Battling acne as a teenager is hard enough, but when it persists as an adult, you can truly regain your confidence. But one shopper, who has tried countless solutions from pills to creams, is praising the £16 product he bought on Amazon as “working when everything else didn’t work”.

Sharing that using this formula meant that “for the first time” she risked going out without wearing heavy concealer or foundation to hide blemishes and blemishes, the product in question is Clarol’s Silver Serum. Reportedly “the first ‘smart’ anti-bacterial solution for acne, oily skin, redness, scarring and sensitive skin”, the dermatologist and make-up artist approved skincare product costs £16.45 for a 50ml tube on Amazon.

Silver Serum’s hero ingredient is patented microsilver, which is said to target bad bacteria while preserving good bacteria. Some users see results within days, the cream moisturizes without causing dryness or irritation, and a study the brand completed said that 70% of participants saw a reduction in acne.

This cream is known to work wonders for teens who suffer from dark spots, but it’s also been a lifeline for some users who suffer from adult acne. For those who aren’t sure about the difference, consultant dermatologist Dr Eva Meleg explains: “Adult acne often forms as clusters of small pus or bumpy spots beneath the surface, rather than individual large blackheads or pustules like teen acne, and is often accompanied by more sensitive, dry, bumpy, red skin.”

She added: “Adult acne is often mild and can improve dramatically with targeted skin care treatments, but there’s no point using acne products meant for teenage skin on adult breakouts as the results won’t necessarily be the same.”

Acne can be caused by a variety of reasons, from overexertion (which causes excess sebum production, which causes oil and dead skin cells to build up in the hair follicles) to dieting too quickly due to hormonal imbalances.

Dr. Meleg adds, “Sebum is very important because adult skin is more prone to dryness and damage, and adults need all the oil they can get because sebum is the skin’s natural moisturizer. So even if you have adult acne, you should avoid products that claim to inhibit sebum production. While these may be fine for oily teenage skin, they’re not ideal for adult skin.”

“A better option to control adult acne while keeping your skin from becoming dry and flaky is to use products that help purify sebum, allowing it to flow freely while preventing it from oxidizing on the surface, which can clog pores and cause age spots.”

Silver Serum is loved for helping to control and banish this, but another product she highlighted is Clarol Sebopure (£16.45). This is a “unique product that contains natural sebum preservatives that prevent sebum from becoming contaminated as it reaches the skin’s surface, allowing it to drain out of the skin’s pores without becoming trapped or contaminated,” says Dr. Meleg.

Used twice a day, Clarol Silver Serum soothes the skin over time, transforming irritated, bumpy, scarred, and painful skin into smoother, clearer, and less irritated skin. This cream also acts as a preventive measure, and with continued use, it is reported to help prevent new breakouts, manage new acne, and maintain clearer, smoother skin. The brand says, “Your skin will feel calmer, less congested, more balanced, and more confident in your natural appearance.”

If this particular formula doesn’t give you the results you want, there are a variety of alternative scar removal options on the skincare market, including BYOMA’s Blemish Clearing Paste (£9.99 from Boots). Formulated with salicylic acid, kaolin clay, camphor, kojic acid, and cica, it unclogs pores, removes impurities, soothes the skin, and is gentle on sensitive skin.

Elsewhere, The Inkey List’s 360 Skin Clearing Serum, £16, is another budget-friendly option that combines hyaluronic acid, panthenol and salicylic acid to soothe redness and smooth the appearance of blemish marks while minimizing excess oil.

Shoppers who have tried Clarol Silver Serum are in awe of the results, with one user sharing her experience of suffering from acne for 45 years, saying: “It worked for me when all else failed.”

She said: “I can’t praise Clarol Silver Serum enough. It’s worth a try and be patient for a few weeks until you start seeing results. Having suffered from teenage acne and then adult acne for 45 years, and having tried various lotions, pills, over-the-counter creams, some expensive products, and even those prescribed by my GP… and visits to dermatologists, I’ve never used Silver Serum 2. I’ve been using it morning and night for months, and I can say this is the first time (aside from a short vacation after an acne breakout) that I’ve gone out without anything to hide my bad skin…and I’m over 60 years old.

“I started using the serum in May, but it took three weeks for the existing scarring from the painful lump under my skin to heal and fade. Before I knew it, it wasn’t working anymore and I was at risk of going out without applying heavy concealer or foundation to hide the blemishes and blemishes.

“I’ve had one small pimple on my chin for the past two months, but it goes away quickly and I’m not as irritated or sore as I used to be. The serum seems very gentle, but it’s still the only effective cream I’ve used. It’s a revelation, and I wish I had discovered it years ago. Normally I carry concealer with me everywhere, but now I don’t have to.”

Another user also shared this praise, saying: “I have been suffering from adult acne for the past two years and have been given countless creams, gels and antibiotics by my doctor, but none have worked. I wear make-up to hide (or try to hide) my skin, which is a huge failure because it doesn’t work and only makes it worse.

“I’m currently pregnant, so my doctor told me there was nothing else I could take. Everyone would comment on my face and I became so self-conscious that I couldn’t even leave the house. One day, I came across an article about this serum. I’ve tried everything on the market that says it’s good for acne, but nothing works, so I was skeptical, but I ordered this.” After two weeks, the difference in my skin was amazing. I still have the weird outbreaks, but they’re not as bad as before, and they don’t burn like they used to. People have also commented on how much prettier my face has become. ”

Another said, “I’ve tried many products over the years (often costing a pretty penny!) but none have worked as well as Silver Serum. Within a few days, my skin cleared up and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results.”

As with all skin care precautions, it’s important to mention that this formula may not be suitable for everyone, and that some people find the cream a little too greasy for their skin. One 3-star review says, “I bought this to treat my acne after reading about the ‘miracle’ results online. It worked for a while, but my face was very oily. I found myself having to wipe off the excess oil on a tissue during the day, and I’ve never been this oily.”

“I suffer from breakouts and have combination skin. This product is very oily and has caused more breakouts on my skin,” chimed in.

While the majority of comments are overwhelmingly positive, one shopper gave this a glowing 5-star review, writing: “It’s a great product. The results are noticeable within the first few days of use, and it’s especially helpful for people who suffer from acne due to oily skin. For best results, we recommend applying a thin layer of the cream twice a day, after waking up and before going to bed.”

“After using this product for 2 months, my skin is free of new spots and boils, and I still have some scars from previous spots, but this product has made my skin feel at ease. While using this product, I did not use any other anti-acne creams or soaps. I found that using other products did not help. This cream alone is amazing.”
