Woman 'forever grateful' for finding £17.99 product that cleared her cystic acne


A woman who suffered with cystic acne for five years has revealed the miracle product that cleared it up in only a week.

Since the age of 20, Vanessa Murphy, now 25, had severe acne flare-ups on her jawline, neck and even on her back and chest.

Vanessa tried to pile on the make-up to disguise her spots in the early years, but admitted the lumps were still visible through her foundation.

Growing up, Vanessa only had the occasional hormonal breakout, so, when this developed, her confidence was knocked.

She admitted: “There were days that I just broke down in tears because my acne just made me feel dirty and uncomfortable in my own skin.”

The Utan x Jamie Genevieve CBD Tanning Water completely cleared it

But, when Vanessa saw one of her favourite YouTubers promote her new product, the Utan x Jamie Genevieve CBD Tanning Water she gave it a go, and was “blown away” after seeing results in just a few days.

This was the clearest her skin has been as an adult.

Vanessa was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), when she was 22 – a hormonal condition which affects how a woman’s ovaries work.

It can also cause women to gain weight, to have irregular periods and suffer with acne.

Of the condition Vanessa admitted: “It’s been a rollercoaster.

“Symptoms can vary person to person, however, with me it includes insulin resistance causing weight gain and difficulty losing weight, mood changes including anxiety, a very irregular menstrual cycle, oily skin and cystic acne.”

Vanessa explained that after she was diagnosed, she did as much research as she could to control the condition, especially in the form of skincare and diet. 

Including cleansers for oily skin, sensitive skin, acne-prone skin, and combination skin to Sudocrem, face masks, different toners and taking a contraceptive pill in the hopes it would clear her skin.

And whilst some of these helped slightly, the pill affected her mood so much she had to come off of it.

After Vanessa was diagnosed with PCOS – which can cause acne – she did all she could to clear it

Vanessa said suffering with adult acne shattered her confidence despite family and friends reassuring her it would get better.

“I have quite pale skin, so the redness is very noticeable, and I felt the need to always pile on makeup to disguise it.”

But, around six months ago Vanessa tried Jamie’s tanning product.

She said: “I have always been interested in makeup ever since my early teens, and when makeup tutorials began on YouTube, I couldn’t get enough.

“One of my favourite makeup artists and YouTubers is local to me – her name is Jamie Genevieve.

The tanning water has anti-inflammatory effects

“In her makeup tutorials and vlogs, I always noticed that her skin was perfect so I would always take heed every time she spoke about skincare”.

So, when Jamie mentioned her tanning water, and Vanessa learned of the anti-inflammatory effects that it had, she gave it a try.

“I noticed a huge difference in my skin. It didn’t aggravate it like a lot of products can and my acne and redness went noticeably down, giving me a much more even skin tone.

“The lavender extract also soothed it and I love using it before bed as it’s so calming.

“As a tanning product, I was blown away by the results on my acne. Not only is my skin tanned, but it’s actually clear too.”

Vanessa said that the more her redness and spots reduced, the more confident she felt.

She added: “I felt like I could go makeup-free more often and soon I realised that it was actually reducing my acne.

“I know my skin will never be perfect due to old scarring and my PCOS, but using this spray has without a doubt helped my skin tremendously and kept my cystic acne at bay and for that, I’m forever thankful.

“I had got used to having bad skin and had a general routine of hiding it under so much makeup.

“I didn’t really realise just how much my acne had knocked my confidence until now – I don’t even feel the need to wear makeup anymore”.
