have got answers
How do you treat acne online?
- Our team of skin experts review your skin type and concerns and create a custom cream with science-backed ingredients that are proven to give you real results.
How long will it take to clear my acne?
- Results depend on your skin type and the severity of your acne. Clinical-grade skincare takes eight to 12 weeks, so stick with it and you will achieve the results you want.
I’ve tried everything to clear my acne, and nothing works. Can you guarantee results?
- We get it – acne can be stubborn. Over-the-counter products aren’t always enough to treat acne and that’s where we come in. Our personalised formulas feature prescription ingredients such as tretinoin, which is a game-changer for stubborn acne.
I have acne and acne scars. Can you treat both?
- Focus on one concern at a time – combining active ingredients for two different concerns can be a lot for your skin, so it’s best to avoid overwhelming your skin. Start with the highest-priority concern first and, once that's under control, we can help you treat the next.
Do you treat all kinds of acne? What kind of acne do you treat?
- Yes! Whether it's occasional breakouts or a constant battle, we've got you covered – blackheads, whiteheads, cysts, hormonal, the works.
What about the rest of my routine? Can you advise what cleanser, moisturiser and sunscreen is best for my skin?
- Absolutely! When you sign up for ilik, you’ll not only get your personalised night cream but also a custom morning and evening routine with an application guide. Plus, unlimited access to a skin expert for any questions.
Will my skin get worse before it gets better?
- It’s possible. Prescription treatments can cause what’s known as “purging” – this is when your skin clears out impurities, and things may look worse before they get better. This is completely normal – it can last up to six weeks, but it varies depending on your skin type
Will I be prescribed antibiotics along with my cream?
- Nope. We don’t mix topical and oral antibiotics. Instead, we use powerful retinoids and other prescription ingredients to tackle your acne.
I’m over 40 and have started getting acne. Is there a treatment that can help me?
- Yes! ilik is designed for anyone over 18, and we’ve got personalised formulas packed with science-backed ingredients that are proven to deliver results.
