Blume TOPNaturePlus Meltdown Blemish Treatment, Organic Essential Oil Face Serum with Black Cumin Seed, Rosehip, and Lavender, 0.5oz

I bought this out of pure desperation just hoping it would help a little. I was in the middle of a nasty flare up of cystic acne. None of my products were working and I was frustrated. I stumbled on Blume and did some research before purchasing. I am so glad I gave it a try! It is not going to magically take your acne away overnight, but it truly helped mine heal so quickly. It took away the pain and reduced redness after the first application. It really takes down the inflammation. I love how it drys out the acne and hydrates my skin at the same time. It does smell like tea tree oil and herbs. I don’t mind the scent, but I can understand if others find it strong. Overall, I would definitely recommend giving this a try if you are struggling like I was.

Ok. I’m fairly certain this is the only Amazon review I have ever written. That’s how serious this is lol and it’s not a paid review either. This is real life y’all. The good and the not so good! Hang in there if you’re gonna read the whole review! I have had adult acne for 15 years. Bad. Painful cystic acne. Major redness and melasma. I’ve been embarrassed of my skin for as long as I can remember. Spending a small fortune are various serums, creams, spot treatments, washes, not even the popular 3 step system you used to order on TV worked for me. Nothing. Easily thousands of dollars. And I would spend so much of my day applying layers of foundation and concealer because I was mortified of my skin. If I went out in public without even kids stare or have asked me why I have “owies” on my face. I hated looking in the mirror and avoided my reflection everywhere. It affected me more than anyone in my life ever knew. I don’t know how many times I’ve cried over my face. I’m turning 38 and was just too dang old to be dealing with this nonsense. I found Blume Meltdown Oil on a FB add and instantly thought “Well, this goes against everything I know about acne, and know enough to not put OIL on my OILY face” lol I checked if Amazon had it, and it was only a 2 day shipping (this was a month ago, so I’ve been using it for one month) and I didn’t even want to wait a month, so I popped into Ulta and they had it. Now I’ll order it on repeat from Amazon. I got a basic cleanser from Target, and headed home. I tried it out right away. My first thoughts were that I was not expecting it to be green haha but I didn’t mind, it wasn’t artificially green, just natural. I dabbed about 6 drops around my face and rubbed it in. Some complain about the smell but I LOVE IT!!!!!! Finally something without a noxious perfume smell. That’s the worst. This has an earthy and herbaceous scent. It’s not overbearing and once absorbed you can’t smell anything at all. But again, I love the smell of it. I stared at myself in the mirror and my skin was quite…. Shiny and thought “What have I done?” Lol But I continued this regimen morning and night and only used foundation if I left the house. And yesterday we boasted a small gathering with friends and I did NOT wear foundation!!!!!!! I couldn’t believe it. I thought about it once or twice during the party and felt nervous but got over it. This morning my husband who has never ever once even commented on my complexion and we’ve been married 16 years. He loved me with horrific skin that honestly most would be embarrassed, but he looked past it. Anyway, this morning he was looking over at me and said “Your skin….. your skin looks so….. healthy. Like, wow!” And I’m like “It’s that oil!!!” So I ordered some last week and it’s going on my stocking 😂 My pores that were so big and prominent and shrinking daily. Pesky blackheads are virtually gone, the redness on my face is calmed drastically, and my huge, painful, cystic acne on my forehead, cheeks, chin and neck are G-O-N-E. Even the wrinkles on the sides of my eyes (crows feet) are practically gone, and I used to have serious, deep grooves in my forehead and now they are subtle lines. It’s wild. For the ladies only: I’m at the week of the month when I would see a major increase in acne than other weeks of the month lol and NOTHING. I’m literally feeling like I’m waiting for it to happen but so far, I’m clear! I feel great about turning 38 and if I’m honest I want to order like 10 bottles in case something happens or it sells out lol @Blume Melt Oil, I’m down for a sponsorship 😂😂 For reals. Try it. I know it’s scary to put oil on your oily face but trust the process. I did see increased blemishes the first week or 2 but I think my skin was being purged. The *only* negative review I have, is that you don’t know when the bottle is almost empty. The bottle is beautiful and well made, but maybe if there was a section on the side of the bottle that was clear all the way up just to see where the product was at to know when to order more. That’s my only negative lol so when I look down into it, and it looks much lower, I went and ordered more on Amazon. When I remember, I’ll take an after picture. But just try it!!!!

Yes a lot of people mentioned the smell but there is no way to describe how bad it is. It also doesn’t seem to absorb and just sets on the skin for an oily look. Product seems different from before I had bought from another seller. Cannot be returned.

I bought this for my daughter who has hormonal acne. This was our last product to try before going on Accutane. Sadly it did not work. I gave it a 4 as although it did not work for acne I have been using it as a moisturizer and it leaves my skin soft, so I will continue using.

I'm on my second bottle. I'm thinking this will be a staple in my routine. I've seen some people have sensitivities if they apply too much, but I know I use more than recommended but I've been okay. After my shower I put a couple drops on my face and press it in, rather than just the single drop for all spots. I have gotten a few zits here or there, but they probably happen when I'm not using it diligently. I do think it helps take down most of them, and generally it makes my skin look nice. I have gone without foundation more this summer than I have since I started wearing makeup, and use hydrocolloid spots for any that do arise, and then the zit is healed much faster than if I didn't treat it. The smell is a bit strong and medicinal but I've grown to like it.
