I have horrible cystic acne and can't go onto long-term medications due to a conflict between them and my migraine medications which could lead to clots. That being said the amount of deep ice pick or box scars is innumerous. The ones dead center of my face (cheeks beside my nose) are the worst till the point where even punch excision on them doesn't work. I do not go outside without this in them. I've been using it for roughly 5 years now.
The reason for the 3 instead of the 5 is very evident. This does not mean I'm not grateful because I am. #1 the cost, I probably spend roughly $180 (Canadian) a month on this (1 four pack of fillers, 1-2 extending bottles and 60 for the applicator tips (if the odds are in my favour), with the odd application pad from time to time). If I didn't have a good job this would be out of budget. #2 longevity, simply doesn't last past 2 days (3 days if I'm lucky), and this is with the extending primer. #3 sometimes the formula I get for the filler doesn't take hold, it's still a liquid after 30+ minutes of waiting. So you can imagine if you are in a time crunch how psychologically damaging this is to a person who absolutely needs it. #4 although I like the applicator tips, they aren't reusable and thus environmentally unfriendly. This wastefulness continues in the entire application process of me also guessing how much to use in the said scar. #5 Due to my acne I use a lot of face products, most of which turn the filler yellow. It looks like a pee stain on my face or makes me look jaundice, regardless of the colour of the filler. Thus I have to spend additional money on make-up which is the last thing I want on my face.
If I was this company my suggestion is to make a reusable applicator tip. Change the formula so it isn't yellow after 1 face wash. Make the extending primer actually extend. Add a sticker so the filler applicator can go into it and fill the area automatically, not me guessing if it's enough.
Now please stop sending me emails for a bleeding review.
