I first started using Klira in September 2024, I am six months in now and genuinely have the best skin of my life.
My skin was always clear growing up, and I can’t say I ever remember having significant issues in my twenties and early thirties, other than the occasional monthly hormonal spot. But in November 2023 I started to play around with some retinol products from another brand and it absolutely ruined my skin – I developed adult acne as a result of this, which I thought was just the normal purging cycle so persevered with its use, but my skin became worse and worse, and subsequently affected my confidence quite significantly. In March 2024 I stopped using the product that was affecting my skin so badly and stripped everything back to just a cleanser, moisturiser and SPF, which definitely helped, but my skin still wasn’t great, never felt clear, and continued to affect my confidence. I then read about Klira about two months prior to being matron of honour at my friend’s wedding and thought I’d give it a go as I was desperate for good skin. I was really concerned I may have another big purging episode but decided to take that risk, and I’m so grateful I did, as my skin didn’t purge at all and it just became clearer and clearer.
My skin has never looked as good as it does now, six months in to using Klira. It really has changed my life and boosted my confidence dramatically. It’s also created such a simple and streamlined routine which is great as I travel a lot and don’t want to carry a plethora of products with me all the time. My morning routine is: gentle cleanser, eye cream, moisturiser and SPF 50. And my evening routine is the same but using my Klira treatment after cleansing and leaving out the SPF. I don’t have any botox or fillers and I also don’t wear any skin makeup like foundation or concealer, yet you can see the clarity and great condition of my skin in my most recent photos.
Not only has Klira cleared my skin, it also helps with anti-ageing which I’m super conscious of as a runner. My skin is put through a lot with my training, particularly as I train on the coast and so I’m always subjecting my face to the pretty brutal weather conditions where I live. I train six times per week, which breaks down as four runs (two easy, one interval or hill session and one longer) and two strength sessions. At the moment my race focus in 5K on the road (current PB is 19:05 but aiming for a sub 19 in the next year) and half marathons in the mountains; both of which can be pretty gruelling. I’ve also raced road marathons, ultramarathons and triathlons over the past few years and am never afraid to say yes to new adventures, but all of those things take a toll on my skin and so finding a product like Klira has really been a game-changer for me as I feel like I’m taking the right steps to keep my skin in great condition whilst subjecting it to all the things that set my soul on fire.
