Particle for men. (reviews, product, head, cleanser)

[Chowhound]

I've been seeing Particle skin care for men in my Facebook feed for months. I'm 52 figured why not. I have pretty good skin overall, no real lines, I tend to be oily and not dry. I figured I'd try it and stay ahead of the curve.

I wash my face as directed, I follow the directions on the bottle. I don't use it twice a day, just once and even then I miss sometimes.

I find that this stuff causes me to break out. Not bad, but enough to where I'm like WTF.

I mean is a skin care regime supposed to do that? I use very little and again, less than prescribed. I'm not slopping this stuff on.

I wonder if my skin is just too oily and this stuff just clogs me up. Again, wash my face before putting it on.

The testimonials for this crap are over the top.

What the hell?

You could just have a sensitivity to one or more of the ingredients. It doesn't mean it's a bad product. Just not the right product for you.

Then try a different line of products. Maybe try CeraVe. Just get one of the cleansers and a moisturizer.

If it's got hyaluronic acid in it that may happen. Check the label and read up on the ingredients.

Did you get the kind of product for your type of skin? If you have oily skin and you're using the dry skin formula, that could cause a reaction.

I would let them know of the adverse event you had and they should give you a refund.

Well, start learning the "ins and outs" of the *Beauty* industry.

Just because they are advertising something there, this doesn't mean that it's all that good, or that it will work for you.

In fact, it might do you more harm than good, and quite often so.

As always it's their main target to make money and to convince you that you should buy their product.

And as always, it's your job to find what actually works FOR YOU.



Which in this case it obviously does not.

It all depends on your skin type and not what's advertised out there.

It does have that ingredient. I'll have to read up on that.

I wouldn't take advice from my facebook feed--it's just advertising.
Try looking at a site with reviews, like Amazon. Check the mid-range reviews (3 star); those people have tried the product and thought about it. Once you decide what brand and type you want, shop it out for best price.
