Thanks to the many patients we’ve encountered over the years, we know how frustrating it can be to have acne that just won’t seem to go away. You’ve tried product after product, changed your diet, and even invested in expensive treatments to try and clear your skin…but nothing is working. Luckily, the whole reason Dr. Vicki Belo started Belo Medical Group was because she herself dealt with acne that crushed her self-esteem. And it’s one of the skin issues she’s been determined to help her patients with for the last 30 years. That’s why she developed the Belo Prescriptives Acne Astringent. At only P750, it’s a staple in every Belo patient’s acne control regimen.

The Acne Astringent contains clindamycin, an antibiotic that slows and stops the growth of acne-causing bacteria. It also decreases inflammation. It’s an ingredient that is widely used around the world in the prevention and control of acne, so its benefits have been clinically proven time and time again.

#BareFaceByBelo challenge ♥️ (Nagkulot talaga ako ng hair for this one guys 🤣) – Can’t believe my face used to be so pimply and full of acne marks. I always put makeup even at home just to cover it up, which of course made it worse! Wouldn’t have imagined in a million years I’ll have the courage to post a bare face selfie. Thank you, @belobeauty for saving me 🥰 – Your turn @cole_hernandez @lovipoe @patriciahenson @itscamilleco @lissakahayon @vinaguerrero @verniecenciso @vernenciso @vivoree @itsmorissette @christianacollings @angeldei_ – Go and tag your other friends ♥️

Steph Ongkiko, Belo Medical Group’s PR Manager, shared with Cosmo.ph the secret to her now-clear face. As it turns out, she herself had a bad bout with acne in 2014, and the Acne Astringent was a key part of her skincare routine.

When we asked her last April about the one item she can’t live without, she said without hesitation, “…the Belo Prescriptives Acne Astringent. It’s like my all-around solution for pimples. I use it as toner, I use it as a substitute when I don’t have the Belo Acne Pro Gel….simply put, I use it to get rid of my breakouts and more.”

Alodia Gosiengfiao is also a big fan of the astringent, citing that it was a part of her routine from a post in June 2012. “Using a small cotton ball, I apply the Belo Acne Astringent [by] dabbing. And finally, if I get zits or I feel like one is starting to appear, I apply a very small spot of Belo Acne Drying Cream over it. This prevents it from growing and helps scars disappear by gradual peeling,” she shared. “This is very effective and it has saved me many many times before an event or a shoot!” As you can see, Alodia’s skin remains clear and acne-free to this day!

The Acne Astringent works best when used as a part of a full acne routine, so you’ll need to come in for a consultation with a Belo MD—or do one online—to figure out your beauty plan. We can accommodate you based on the severity of your acne and your budget.
