No!No! Skin | It’s a No!No! from me

I’ve been in constant battle with my skin since I was 14. Between eczema and acne it’s been a rough ride. It has also meant that I have been willing to try anything to calm my acne down. Sometimes I get bored of products if I don’t see an instant result and sometimes I like to ride it out and see what happens.

After being in the US for 6 months my acne flared up to the worst it has ever been. A combination of bad food, drinking, hormones and coming off antibiotics, which had kept the acne under control, is where I saw the root cause of this nasty flare up. So on the plane journey home, after weeks of crying and hiding my face, I saw the No!No! Skin advertised in the catalogue. I’d heard good things and thought it wouldn’t hurt to see how it goes.

First of all, the packaging and branding is very sleek and girly with the pink and silver detailing.  The device itself is also silver and quite lightweight which I (for some reason) was quite disappointed by because it was expensive (£129.95) and thought there would be a bit more weight to it.

There’s a quick guide included to get you started, you need to charge the No!No! for a couple of hours before you use it.

You then simply place the nossel on the spot or “pimple” and press the button, after 2 beeps you take the nossel away, wait 5 seconds and repeat on the sample spot.

The description of the product says “Safe, pain free and effective treatment for acne. Based on professional phototherapy technology, no!no! Skin destroys bacteria, soothes pain and reduces inflammation. Sending gentle pulses of light and heat energy deep into the pore. The ultimate emergency pimple care you can take anywhere”

It hurts. Way more than you think it is going to. It gets hot and a little unbearable, at one point my eyes started watering. I also didn’t see any improvement as an “emergency” resolution to having a spot. This might have been because my skin is quite bad and this is only a treatment for mild-moderate acne.

For now, it’s a No!No! from me for No!No! Skin.

I am currently taking Roaccutane under the supervision of a dermatologist to try and clear my acne up once and for all (look out for a post on that), so maybe I will revisit this device once it clears up to see if it helps with the off one or two spots.
