Are the Skin + Me extras (cleanser, serums) worth it?

I've decided to subscribe to Skin + Me and signed up for the 'daily dose' cream.
There are offers available for serum, SPF and cleansers. I can probably afford one of the three. Are they worth it? Do they make a big difference compared to just the cream? I'm mid 40s and my skin concerns are peri menopause acne, rosacea and dry skin / fine lines on my forehead.
TIA 😊

I’d say no. Skin & Me sent a few free (or for a nominal charge , can’t remember) with my prescription a couple of times and they were ok but expensive for what they are. Some of the serums are in the Boots £10 Tuesday today if you fancy trying them. The moisturiser with spf is probably the nicest but is very expensive for the quantity.

Thank you that's helpful. Do you mind if I ask how you've found skin + me generally? Are you still using it?

The spf-free moisturiser was ok.

The moisturiser with spf left me an oily mess despite me buying the one for oily skin.

I haven't tried the spf by itself.

I didn't like the foaming cleanser at all. It's more of a wet cream cleanser if that makes sense.

The vitamin c is the same as every other vitamin c I've used. They dont really have any visible effect on my skin.

The daily doser was good, but I didn’t like the moisturisers or the cleansers. Tried 2 different cleansers, one didn’t really feel like it cleansed my skin at all, and the other smelt AWFUL. I stopped using the whole range as I wasn’t using it up quickly enough. Currently using Dernatica and really pleased with the results so far.

Thanks - I'll skip the extras then, see how I get on with just the cream.

I do use the vitamin C serum but I didn’t like any of the other extras. I gave most securely seen a difference in my skin, it’s clear, glowing, I have no breakouts and my rosacea that I’d started getting around my nose has disappeared so I have kept up with the daily doser as it’s made the biggest difference I’ve ever had with any skincare.

I would stick with just the daily doser. I love mine, it’s transformed my skin and I feel like it keeps improving slowly. The rest of the stuff I would just get cheap from somewhere else.
