Today, I’m excited to share my review of a brand: Accufix Cosmetics. This brand is specifically tailored for individuals with acne-prone skin, making it a go-to for those whose skin has been chosen by acne as their favorite canvas
Additionally, Accufix Cosmetics offers an alternative option for those interested in supporting BDS movement brands. Drawing inspiration from various high-quality brands, Accufix Cosmetics stands out in the market.
What I got in Accufix Cosmetics Mystery Bundle
I will explore four of their products, three of which came in a mystery bundle, while the fourth, Accufix Cosmetics AHA/BHA Body Wash was purchased separately.
- Accufix Cosmetics Hydrocolloid Pimple Patches
- Accufix Cosmetics Lip Treatment Balm
- Accufix Cosmetics Crème B3-B5-E with 4% niacinamide
Packaging:
They all arrived in a simple cardboard box, which, while cute, but was nothing fancy. I like that Accufix Cosmetics has provided the lid of the body wash separately to prevent leaking during shipping. This practice mirrors that of other top brands and ensures sufficient quantity.
Accufix Cosmetics Crème B3-B5-E with 4% niacinamide
The cream’s packaging closely resembles that of The Ordinary. While cost-effective, the small tube may not last long. It is also a fragrance-free product like others, its texture resembles a moisturizing cream—neither too thick nor too thin.
It is hydrating, and you don’t need much. Although it didn’t give me pimples in winters, I don’t like its texture for summers. It is irritating for me. Also, I was hoping that it would brighten my skin due to Niacinamide, but then I realized I had been using 10% Niacinamide, and this 4% won’t do much for me.
Although the product didn’t give me any reactions, it didn’t work any miracles for me either, and its texture is annoying. So I won’t be buying it again. Price-wise, you can find better options from Neutrogena or other brands like Inkey.
Overall, it didn’t yield remarkable results, earning it a modest 4/10 rating.
This lip balm, housed in a cute black jar, is convenient for travel. I like how dainty it is!
When it comes to texture, I tried it in winter, and it was extremely difficult to use as it all hardened, probably due to the presence of coconut oil, which is such a turn-off. Although Accufix Cosmetics says that you have to scrape it off on your fingernail.
It feels thick on the lips, and I can sense a lot of shea butter, and there isn’t any fragrance in it, which makes it good for people with sensitive skin. The correct way to use it according to Accufix Cosmetics is by rubbing it all over your lips. One thing that makes it different and better than Maybelline is that Maybelline Baby Lips makes the lips very dry after using it, and you have to reapply it after a few hours, but no such thing happens while using Accufix Cosmetics Lip Treatment Balm. However, for me, it is too thick, and I would only use it in winter.

Oh yeah, one thing is that it removes stubborn, extremely long-lasting liquid lipsticks like a dream. I used it to remove Color 27 – Inglot HD lip Tint Matte from Inglot, and it was a great experience without making my lips dry.
Its efficacy in removing stubborn liquid lipsticks earns it a commendable 7/10 rating.
Hydrocolloid Pimple Patches
I have never tried Hydrocolloid pimple patches before, and this is the first time. The Hydrocolloid pimple patches came in an envelope, and they are like those silicon stickers. The good thing about them is that Accufix Cosmetics has given various sizes of the patches in it. Also, these patches are fragrance-free like other Accufix Cosmetics products.
Hydrocolloid pimple patches are basically steroids that block the bacteria from the pimple to spread anywhere else. They are quite innovative and have created a buzz.
You need to apply these patches for a minimum of 6 hours at least to work their magic. And Accufix Cosmetics recommends that you can wear them underneath makeup to hide the pimple as well. And of course, the pimple would get its taste of medicine as well.
My experience is that it soothes after a while. I used it on a pimple that was already resurfacing, and it was painful because it was hidden under the depths of my skin but I think using Neutrogena Wash/Mask (using it multiple times for a pimple) is way more effective for me. So, I would only be using Accufix Cosmetics Hydrocolloid pimple patches when I can’t use Neutrogena Wash/Mask, that is in public or when traveling.
AHA/BHA Body Wash
This is one thing that I really wanted since as far as I can remember. I like body care stuff, like body scrubs and body washes. Now, I had some strawberry skin on my arms that you get after waxing and, of course, acne marks that I’ve had since my teenage years. I didn’t realize it before writing down the review that some of the marks have lightened.

Now, my memory is playing hide and seek; I don’t remember if it was there with that intensity before using the body wash or not but price-wise, it is really good, and I would definitely be trying it out again.
I’ve got to go and check myself in the mirror.
Aicha’s recommendation
As a beauty blogger, I’m all about finding hidden gems in the skincare world, and Accufix Cosmetics is definitely one to watch. While they’ve still got some fine-tuning to do, their dedication to quality and diversity is commendable.
Aicha’s Verdict on Accufix Cosmetics: 7/10
Overall, Accufix Cosmetics is a brand worth keeping an eye on. While not every product knocked it out of the park for me, there’s definitely potential here.
The products are a mix of good and bad, but given the fact that they are small and still trying out, it’s fine. All businesses have to deal with these things. I would recommend Accufix Cosmetics, especially if you want some BodyCare products because good body care products are quite rare. The lip balm is also good if you have dry, chapped lips; at least it’s not a rip-off like Maybelline Baby Lips that keeps on drying soon.
Also, For people who would like to go for alternative products, pro-Palestinian skincare brands, Accufix Cosmetics is a very good option. I wish they would consider shipping internationally all over the world.
One word: A good try, Accufix Cosmetics—keep on improving.
