href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/acne-treatment\">acne<\/a> is one of the most common skin goals, and a transformation from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/blog-skinandme-com-ask-a-dermatologist-where-do-my-spots-come-from\/\">spot-prone<\/a> skin to smooth and clear can feel truly life-changing.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t just take our word for it. Committed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/\">Skin + Me<\/a> subscriber, Jessica Holt has been on an inspiring Skin + Me journey of her own and we\u2019re so happy to share her positive progress with our community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jessica has finally found an accessible way to tackle her skin goals with an effective powerful solution, tailored to her needs. We asked Jessica about her skin then, now and her smooth skin goals for the future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hi Jessica!&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Skin + Me: <\/strong><em>Tell us about your skin. When did your acne begin?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jessica: <\/strong>My acne began after having my first child in my early twenties. That was around ten years ago.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Skin + Me: <\/strong><em>How long did it take you to work out what was best for your skin and switch you onto Skin + Me?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jessica: <\/strong>In all honesty, it\u2019s taken me ten years of trying everything! Every fad, every new trend. Nothing worked until I found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/\">Skin + Me<\/a> at the start of this year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Skin + Me: <\/strong><em>Were you always an advocate for simple, science-led skincare or have trends tempted you along the way?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jessica: <\/strong>I\u2019ve been tempted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/skin-and-me-ask-a-dermatologist-skincare-trends-2022\/\">skincare trends<\/a>. I used anything I researched online that I thought would cure my acne. Most products made it worse and left me with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/acne-scarring-explained\/\">scarring<\/a> that I still have now.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Skin + Me: <\/strong><em>Was purging ever a challenge for you? How easy did you find it to stick to your new Daily Doser routine?&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jessica:<\/strong> I honestly had no purging with my Daily Doser, I was prepared for it and thought \u2013 knowing my luck with my skin \u2013 it would probably make it worse. I\u2019ve had so many bad experiences, I feared the worst. Today, I still can\u2019t believe that after all this time I\u2019ve finally found the skincare I can\u2019t live without.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Skin + Me: <\/strong><em>How long did it take you to see results?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jessica: <\/strong>I\u2019ve been using my treatment for around six months now. My skin is unbelievably good, my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/acne-scarring-explained\/\">acne scars<\/a> are almost non-existent, my skin texture is beautiful with an even tone and my wrinkles are much less noticeable. I started to see results after around three weeks and I can\u2019t believe the difference my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/daily-doser-spotlight-2\/\">Daily Doser<\/a> has made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201c<em>Today, I still can\u2019t believe that after all this time I\u2019ve finally found the skincare I can\u2019t live without.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Skin + Me: <\/strong><em>We often overlook the psychological effect the health of our skin can have on our day-to-day life. How does the progress you\u2019ve made make you feel?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jessica: <\/strong>I\u2019ve suffered from low self-esteem and almost zero self-confidence over the past ten years because of my acne. When I was younger, I would wear so much foundation to try and hide the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/blog-skinandme-com-ask-a-dermatologist-where-do-my-spots-come-from\/\">spots<\/a> and always wear my hair down to cover my cheeks as much as I could.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of people \u2013 even my friends \u2013 didn\u2019t know how big the effect it had on me as I always tried to keep a front on. I suffered mentally really badly last year. I couldn\u2019t believe I was <em>still<\/em> living with acne at the age of 30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My progress makes me feel amazing and beautiful. I don\u2019t even own a bottle of foundation and I haven\u2019t for around a year. Day to day, I wear <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/skincare-and-the-sun-guide-freckles-sun-spots-spf-and-makeup-know-how\/\">sunscreen<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/full-routine-launch-skin-and-me-cleanser-and-moisturiser\/\">moisturiser<\/a> and if I go on a night out, I only wear SPF and tinted moisturiser. I\u2019m so confident in my own skin now and it&#8217;s all thanks to my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/daily-doser-spotlight-2\/\">Daily Doser<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Skin + Me: <\/strong><em>We get a lot of feedback that <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/myth-buster-what-does-healthy-skin-look-like\/\"><em>healthy skin<\/em><\/a><em> gives subscribers less time in front of the mirror and more time to live their lives.

However, my skin felt so bad, I would pile foundation on all through my early 20s to hide it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It takes me about five minutes every evening to do my skincare routine now. That includes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/full-routine\">cleanser<\/a>, toner, Daily Doser and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/full-routine\">moisturiser<\/a>. My routine takes the same amount of time in the morning.

Everything is filtered and most things aren\u2019t real! My advice would be:&nbsp; Don\u2019t compare yourself to glossy pictures you see on every feed. Most of the people\u2019s skin in the pictures doesn\u2019t look like that in real life!
