Not work it – I have had adult acne for years due mainly to hormones. I started using it because I wanted to stop using the contraceptive pill to control my skin flare-ups. This product made completely no difference and I have been better off using the Cetaphil from the chemist. My advice: don't bother with anything if it is not dermatologically recommended.… Read more
Cetaphil is recommended by dermatologists. And also the founder is not a dermatologist so has no place being in the acne space.

Most amazing cleanser ever!!! – I have been using real u since October last year and the results are amazing. Since becoming a teen I have had the worst skin but real u changed that. It leaves the skin feeling clean and soft and got rid of my acne without drying my skin with harsh chemicals. I have no scarring on my face and feel more confident than ever Show details
3 step control+ – This stuff is amazing! When i first purchased the control+ starter kit i had no real expectations on how it would help my skin. That mentality comes from spending thousands on medication, face washes and moisterisers that have in the long run made my skin worse. I was staying home as much as possible, hated going to work and the shops and wouldnt… Read more
leave the house without make up on. In under 6 weeks this starter kit has made my skin 100% better, less oily, itchy and red. My face is less painful when applying makeup, i've been able to ditch the primers and concealers because the moisteriser is perfect and im more confident about going out without it.This stuff is the best thing ever put on this earth!
Amazing products – I have been using the 3 step skincare for over a month now. I’m so impressed with how the products control my pimples, but never leaves my skin feeling dry. These products have also improved the overall complexion of my skin, my husband even commented that the redness of my skin has improved. I still wear make up every day, but my make up is so… Read more
much easier to apply as my skin has less pimples and is hydrated. I look forward to using these products every day and will definitely continue using this skincare regimen.
Negative reviews
Made hormonal acne worse – If you have hormonal acne or sensitive skin this is not the right product. Tried it for 3 months and it made my acne worse. Thought it was just purging my skin at first but acne got more intense, larger breakout and my face was sooo sore. I am now trying the osea brand , it's natural and It has cleared up my breakouts (I have 3 breakouts at the moment which is alot better than before),they are not sore and my breakout are calming down. Show details
Real u 3 step system – Was really excited to try this and was hoping for the best. Unfortunately it made my skin worse. I suffer from moderately bad hormonal breakouts, and ended up with full blown cysts after using the 3 step system. Some of them still haven't gone down. And because I believed it would work I continued to use it thinking my skin was just purging. But it got worse and worse over the month I used it. Pretty disappointed. Show details
NOT FOR SENSITIVE SKIN. It made my skin worse – I purchased the Real-U 3 step system and began using it, I was really hoping it would work but it didn't. It flared up my skin and i got more angry pimples than I had when I started! I'm so disappointed! I dont know what to do with these almost new tubes, but I'm too scared to use it again! I contacted Real-U, but they didn't offer a refund,… Read more
simply told me that this is normal and to keep using the product. (I'm not going to keep using something that makes my skin that irritated!)
If you have sensitive skin, don't risk damaging it further by using Real-U! Save your money and your face. I wish I'd read the reviews on productreview before buying!
After I stopped using real-u, I used a simple gentle vitamin foaming cleanser from Coles and it was lovely, no irritating on my skin, just calm, good cleansing.

The BEST Cleanser! – Love this Cleanser! Never irritates my sensitive skin, removes all my makeup & never over dries my skin. I use it with their other products which have cleared my breakouts and little bumps on my jaw.. will never use anything else again! Show details
BEST CLEANSER EVER! – It always feel so fresh and soothing on my skin. since I started using the whole range my acne has gone down heaps, but the cleanser is my definitely my favourite. And it's really good at cleaning off my makeup at the end of the night too Show details
Pretty disappointing – I started using this about 3 months ago... there was no real noticeable difference. As it got to the three month mark, my face started to break out in massive amounts. I’d never had that much acne before, and my skin was more oily then it had ever been. So I stopped using it, and just used micellar cleansing water and the real-u moisturiser. My skin cleared up in a day. Their moisturiser is good, everything else.
Lifesaver, I’ve finally regained my confidence – I’ve suffered with cystic acne for nearly 2 years. From never even having a pimple to having not just acne but cystic acne that looked like welts on my face, I’d honestly prefer to show up at work with a paper bag. I couldn’t wear makeup I couldn’t do anything but just buy products after products praying they’d work. After trying maybe 7 different… Read more
products I was skepticle when I came across real-U because of how amazing the results were it almost looked staged. I bought it Just to see and I noticed after one day my face had a glow to it. I had all my friends notice also saying my skin looked amazing and asking what I was using and got all of them into it. Real-u is probably my life now I could not and refuse to live without. Hands down 10/10 product !!!
Not worth the hype, made my skin worse – After suffering with adult acne for the past 3 years I had finally got my skin right and after running out of the normal skincare I would use daily I had seen this all over Facebook and it looked so amazing I just had to try! Well what waste of money, my skin has never been so oily and I had new breakouts poping up each day. I would not recommend this product to anyone and it’s definitely not worth the hype.
Best product I’ve ever used!!! – This product has changed my life!! I use all the Real-u products and am now able to walk out the door with no make-up on! The prices are reasonable and the products last a minimum of 3 months! I have recommended this product to several friends as they have all noticed how great my skin looks now! This product is the reason I don’t cry when I see… Read more
myself in the mirror anymore. When I first saw this company I was skeptical as like a lot of people I’ve tried so many different things and get no results, so I spent a month researching the company and looking at reviews and decided it was worth a try and since purchasing the products for the first time in January I’ve never looked back!

This product chnaged my life – My skin shifted from being inflamed and painful, to smooth and clear. I had no reaction to the product which is extremely rare because I react to every skin care product and have very sensitive skin. After my acne went down I noticed some scarring, however the cleanser is now assisting in reducing that too. This product is so amazing and I can’t recommend it enough!
What a real waste – Been using for a month as directed 2xdaily, changing pillow cases, fresh washers ect, I really cant see any difference in my acne. Major changes are my skin always feels like its too oily from the products, like sweating from not soaking in which is horrible and is my main reason for discontinuing. I emailed for help, never got a reply which is… Read more
misleading for a company that proclaims to be about community and helping.
For what you pay i really don't think its worth it.
Its a magic – Its a magical product i feel amazing after using this product no reaction at all i just love this its change my life it gave my confidancs back to me thank you real u love you
Big waste of money – This product is very misrepresented. I bought it as I was looking for a good quality cleanser and moisturizer for sensitive skin. I had no acne, but was told that it would be perfect as a nice natural skin care routine. When I first used it, I was surprised at how low of quality it seemed to be (especially for the price). It’s advertised as being… Read more
made of natural ingredients, however, it’s full of chemicals! It made my face red and irritated after using it a couple times so I stopped. I emailed them asking for my money back and they refused. $90 lesson learned. Don’t buy this.
Give me to confident go to make up free! – I've NEVER stuck to one brand of make up cleanser or moisture, nothing ever works for me the way real-U has. Other products were always more of to remove my makeup never to replenish my skin but, I’ve just ordered another more of the green control products. Its absolute amazing for my skin!!! I’m 25 and finally have the confident to go make up… Read more
free for days on end. The moisture is used 3 times a day to make me skin extra smooth! Thank you Real-U team
Meh – I gave it a 3 star because usually when I cleanse my face, it turns red however with this cleanser it didn’t meaning it’s great for sensitive skin BUT because it foams it dries your face and I didn’t like that. The whole real-u regime didn’t work for me. It actually made my acne worse and left me with a LOT of scarring which my skin never did before.
L I F E C H A N G I N G !!!!!!! – Absolutely love this product and all the real-u products they have seriously changed my life ! They have given my back my confidence and changed the way I see myself ❤️
My all time favourite cleanser – I use to have multiple breakouts on my skin especially during that time of the month, however this cleanser helped with unclogging my pores and doesnt leave my skin feeling squeeky clean unlinke other cleansers-which is a good thing, my skin still feels hydrated after being cleanse. It also reudced the redness on my skin eapecially the areas around the breakouts! Have been using this for over 2 years now!!!
Perfect product! – After buying several brands of acne creams to try and clear up my skin I am so glad I have came across this. Within 2 weeks of using this product it has cleared up my horrible hormonal acne. Highly recommend!!

Works on all skin types – I have been trying to find the right product for my skin for years. A friend told me about real-u after seeing it online and trying it for herself. She’s a chef and her skin is exposed to fatty oil while cooking in the kitchen causing break-outs. I was using an expensive regime that didn’t seem to fit with my skin. I tried the real-u and after… Read more
around 8 weeks my skin was healthier over-all. My break-outs have diminished over time and it’s the first product I am happy to stick with long term. It’s priced well, easy to order and a simple regime to follow. There is no lock in contract, you simply order as needed!
Amazing! – This product did wonders for my skin! Before I started using this cleanser, my skin would breakout nearly everyday! Now I hardly get any breakouts and my skin is so soft. It’s amazing!
In Love – honestly i have never had such good results from a skin care brand ever. this was this fastest working treatment i’ve used and i am so so happy with the way my skins looks! not only does it feel smooth but it is hydrated, shiny, and basically pimple free (compared to what it used to be). i’ve recommended it to some of my friends, i love i that much, thank you :) x
Amazing stuff! I love it – My acne is so much better than before i tried Real-U! This stuff is amazing, i wont use anything else on my skin. My acne scars even faded slightly! 10/10
The best skin care products I've used. Don't go a day without it now! – Helped with my pimples constantly popping up. The results were pretty much instant for me. I use it everyday and my skin loves me for it. I'm more confident now in not having to worry about wearing makeup. I just wake up and wash my face, apply serum and moisturise and it leaves me ready for the day!
Doesn't work for everyone – Was so excited to try this product as I've been looking at it for over a year and have seen so many incredible before and after pictures. My acne is severe and I even took before pictures hoping this would work.. after two months my skin has only gotten worse. I've stopped using it now as my acne has gotten worse and worse by each day. I… Read more
continued using it as I expected it to get to get worse before getting better but unfortunately not :( this product looks like it works for so many lucky people but don't expect it to work on everyone! I recommend if your skin is getting worse to keep using it for a max of a month before discarding it as that's when your face should be getting used to the product!
WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME – honestly wanted this to work so bad, so i stuck to this religiously, every single morning and night!. 3rd week in i felt my pimples less lumpy but still exactly same as they were when i first started using the product, only thing i can compare this to is PRO ACTIVE! all the fuss on the media about it and fake reviews and honestly does NOT WORK!!… Read more
oh and DONT you dare write an honest review on there instagram page, they delete and block you right away. this just proves REAL U have something to hide and probably know there product is a gimmick.
Meh. Would not purchase again – I used this product for over a month, morning and night. Very little reduction in pimples - size, amount or pain. I still had sore red spots on my face and neck while using the 3 step system and the spot zapping gel religiously. This product also made my skin very oily. The cleanser did not foam as much as I hoped though my skin did feel clean and… Read more
fresh after use. I did not like the feel of the moisturiser and feel that it did not absorb well into my skin.
I would not purchase again and have gone back to la Roche Posay effaclar range.
It saved my face – After quitting on my pill. I end up breaking out really bad. They weren’t big pimples but the small annoying ones. It was really i atarted getting self conscious about my skin. So when i see this ad on my facebook page, i thought why not give it try and see it it work. So i bought it and i was really excited to start using it. After a week of used… Read more
with the bundle my face started clearing. I was so happy. My face feels clean and smooth after just using the cleanser and when you follow it with the control and hydrate bottles i could really see the results.my face feels radiant every morning a wake up. I have recommended this product to a friend that got really bad acne and i hope it works for her as it did to me.
Amazing product – This product has helped me so much with annoying bumps and pimples on my face absolutely hated my skin, but since using this product it’s cleared my skin up heaps and I couldn’t be happier I love it so much.
Cannot live without my Real-U Spot Treatment! – I can definitely feel and see a difference in my skin since using Real-U! My skin isnt irritated or dry which it always was using other skin cleansers and treatments, which made me scratch and pick at my face all the time. Now I have clearer and healthier skin
Love it! My skin has never been better – Absolutely love the Real-U cleanser. I have suffered from cystic acne for as long as i can remember and since using Real-U i was able to stop my medication after being on it for years! An added bonus is i have still been able to use the cleanser during pregnancy to keep my acne under control. Absolutely love it!!
So amazing! Soft Skin! Can’t rave enough! – I’ve used multiple cleansers ever since I got acne in high school. I have dry sensitive skin and nothing has worked as well as RealU!!! Breakouts have reduced significantly! Pores have shrunk and my skin feels so clean all the time! Makeup looks flawless because good skin = good makeup days! Have purchased again and again and I’ve made this my number one skin cleanser! FANTASTIC!!!!
