Sewell Bootcamp Success Story #54
Matt Tohancyzn – “I can’t believe I lost 35.5 lbs and 14 inches in just 6 weeks and won $657.” Best Sewell Bootcamp. (Disclaimer – Results are not guaranteed and results may vary) I am literally blown away by Matt’s record breaking results. I would have never thought it was possible for someone to lose that much weight and inches in a safe manner in just 6 weeks – evern for a 22 year old. Matt did everything right! Matt was an athlete stud in high school but working a few jobs and eating like crap for a few years added 50 lbs of pure fat. He admitted to eating McDonalds everyday for lunch. (Disclaimer – Results are not guaranteed and results may vary)
Matt edged out 49 other Challengers and won 1st Place in Fit-4-Life Sewell Bootcamp 6 Week Transformation Challenge May 2014 and he won $657.
He joined the Challenge with his mom and he totally kicked butt. I had to buy some stronger elastic tubing for him because he’s a workout beast. By the end of Challenge his shorts were falling off because he lost so many inches.
What really made the difference is that he totally cut out sugar ,fast food, and crap. He just ate Whole grains, fruits, veggies, and lean protein – simple formula right?
2nd Place Winner Carolyn Fulginiti was neck and neck the whole Challenge – she lost an amazing 27lbs. And third place winner Maria Cirone lost 16 lbs, 12 inches, and 5% bodyfat.

Cannabis Interview with Philip Bromley – CEO of Virun Nutra Biosciences (Nuriv)
In our continuing quest to bring you the latest on cutting-edge products and research, we recently had a chance to catch up with Philip Bromley. Philip is the CEO of a company that produces Nuriv – a full-spectrum hemp product that boasts higher oral bioavailability, thanks to their patented process. His passion for producing the best CBD products is clear. Take a minute to look at our interview below and ask your questions in the comments!
CM: On the Nuriv site, it says that Nuriv is a CBD product that is not like anything imaginable. How is that so? What makes Nuriv different?
Bromley: Nuriv has licensed over 100 patents and patents pending, world-wide – technologies from the Biotechnology company, Virun. This IP portfolio is very broad and covers a much-needed demand in the CBD and THC industries. Unlike other companies in the industry, Nuriv offers a full scale, product development to finished product capability. Everything is developed and manufactured under one roof.
Nuriv focuses on a niche market. Our goal is not to own significant commodity market share, such as soft gels and tinctures, which run rampant. Our goal is to diversify and supply products that are atypical. For example, our CBD Nuriv coffee creamers and smoothies. CBD and THC can be difficult to work with. Naturally derived Cannabinoids can be very bitter and do not dissolve in water.
Nuriv utilizes a patented emulsification branded as Esolv®. Esolv is a natural emulsifier derived from sunflower and made of D Alpha Tocopherol, or Vitamin E. Nuriv uses Esolv to allow the CBD or THC to not separate in the product. Nuriv also utilizes a patented bicarbonate downstream process that deodorizes and improves the flavor and flavor organoleptic of the natural CBD or THC. Similar to Baking Soda in your fridge, Nuriv HCO3- process deodorizes purified oil allowing great flavor and stability. Lastly, Nuriv incorporates unique flavor and encapsulation technologies. Nuriv uses natural patented and patents pending technologies combining Macadamia, Almond or Cashew protein that allows amazing flavor on top of the deodorizer CBD or THC.
Nuriv also supplies industries with CBD or THC concentrates that contain Nuriv technologies. These concentrates allow our clients to process their CBD or THC at their facilities. This enables our clients to obtain all the benefits of Nuriv technologies but across State or Country borders being they just simply add CBD or THC to our concentrates and then process beverages, shots etc. At their location. This includes clearer, water soluble options and micro-encapsulation, spray dry powder for sachets, stick packs, gummies, bars and more. Nuriv also processes finished product CBD beverages and shots under private label.
CM: Your products include 2oz and 8oz bottles for a number of health and wellness needs. Do you have plans on expanding your product line to edibles, topicals, or other products? Also, what is your best-selling product, and why?
Bromley: Yes, we have 6 tincture-like pump bottles being released in March. These will be Micellized CBD and Liposomal CBD products that deliver 20mg CBD in 1ml or 4 pumps. We will have each directed toward Sleep, Relax and a version that is just standalone CBD. I know I mentioned tincture are commodity-driven and we try to avoid that. The niche where Nuriv is outside the typical Tincture is our Micellized and Liposomal CBD technologies. Our Tincture will be patented and scientifically studied and tested to deliver a higher bioavailable form of CBD.
The Micellized version will absorb better and have a quick onset of action for immediate relief. The Liposomal version will be absorbed better as well, but deliver with a slow, sustained, profile. For example, Micellized form is good for daytime joint relief whereas the Liposomal form would be good for nighttime relief. We do process THC in a licensed facility for gummies etc. But currently do not do this for CBD as regulatory considers CBD to not be appropriate for deliverables that are marketed as similar to candy, thereby accessible for children. Nuriv processes multi-serving supplemental products That are properly dosed and labelled as Supplements, not single serving food like chocolate or candied mints, for example. Our best-selling products are surprisingly the 2oz sleep and relax. Sleep is the number one seller currently. Stuff knocks you out and tastes like Chocolate Brownie Batter, so very flavorful and satisfying at night but with no added sugar.
CM: Can you tell us about the source for your hemp products?
Bromley: We grow our Hemp in California. We process on an organic farm. Every lot is ISO and AOAC Cannabis, third party certified by: https://www.aoac.org/scientific-solutions/casp/
Nuriv has every lot produced tested, licensed and certified. All third-party certificates and COA’ are available by request. We will have QR codes on labels in the next month that will allow ease of access to all reports and AOAC certifications, available for download.
CM: Micellization is an important aspect of your products. In laymen’s terms, what is Micellization?
Bromley: Micellization is similar to a detergent soap, although Virun Esolv is composed of natural Vitamin E. Micelles are composed of single lipid layers that are both oil and water soluble. The process of creating CBD or THC into a Michele allows to produce a small particle CBD/THC that can easily dissolve into water and become clearer. The clearer a CBD/THC Michelle is, also correlates with better bioavailability. CBD/THC actually have poor absorption and take forever to actuate. Micelles can deliver quicker and improve overall pharmacokinetics and dynamics because Micelles make the CBD/THC absorb similar to water or a water-soluble compound.
CM: With all the talk in the media and comments from the FDA lately, what do you see for the future of hemp and CBD products in the U.S.?
Bromley: According the California Public Health Department for Los Angeles County, we need to reference Assembly Bill 228 (AB 228). We work closely with the CPHD, which is a subsidiary division of the FDA and currently regulates the Cannabinoid industry in CA. We are also obtaining a THC license in CA. And will manufacture in a licensed facility for these products. This allows us to be versatile if the FDA were to regulate CBD similar to THC in CA. It is very important to be on the up and up with all state regulations, assembly bills etc.

No other company goes further when it comes to testing their products. Canabidol™ customers can access the exact lab report for the item they have purchased by searching our database of analytical results. With over a thousand reports available and more being added daily. We go above and beyond when it come to providing you with the confidence in buying our product time and time again.
In one survey, parents of children who suffer from treatment-resistant epilepsy and use CBD were asked about the benefits. 19 parents were included, 84% of which said that CBD reduced the frequency of seizures. Two parents said that CBD completely resolved seizures. Parents also reported improved alertness, sleep, and mood. Some side effects were drowsiness and fatigue .
Our bodies are thought to produce endocannabinoids by the billions every day. “We always thought the ‘runner’s high’ was due to the release of dopamine and endorphins. But now we know the euphoria is also from an endocannabinoid called anandamide,” its name derived from the Sanskrit word for bliss, says Joseph Maroon, MD, clinical professor and vice chairman of neurosurgery at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. We produce these natural chemicals all day, but they fade quickly because enzymes pop up to destroy them. That’s where CBD comes in: By blocking these enzymes, CBD allows the beneficial compounds to linger.
“There's not much more to say than it being perfect at what it is, a high quality lip balm. There is no off taste as I expected, rather it had a mild vanilla earthy taste after being applied. The actual balm is a dark green colour but there is no strange colour on your lips after using it. It doesn't feel greasy at all, it gets quickly absorbed and feels nice and soft after a while. I'd definitely buy some again.”
Apply it by massaging the cream to the affected area. Use in small amounts first then reapply it if necessary. Some consumers claim that this cream works best in morning and in evening. You can apply this cream on your back, shoulders, knees or other affected area. The smell of this cream goes away quickly so you won’t be bothered if you don’t like its smell.
This review paper on the safety and side effects of cannabidiol by the NCBI, for example, suggests that controlled cannabidiol administration is safe and non-toxic in humans and animals. It also does not induce changes in food intake, nor does it affect physiological parameters like heart rate, body temperature or blood pressure. Also, according to this review paper, “high doses up to 1,500 mg/day of CBD are reportedly well tolerated in humans.”
The human body also produces cannabinoids, known as endocannabinoids, in a bodily system known as the endocannabinoid system (or ECS). The ECS promotes homeostasis by regulating a wide range of functions, including motor skills, mood, appetite, and sleep. As we age, our ECS produces fewer endocannabinoids; they may also decrease due to physical injury or disease. Replenishing depleted endocannabinoids with phytocannabinoids like CBD can help restore balance to the body.
Previously, I had reviewed hemp-based beauty topicals and THC beauty products pioneering the way for cannabis in the skincare industry. This time, I tested the diverse range of CBD oil-based beauty products, which are both potent and legally available for shipping to most states. This is the new frontier in skincare—and these companies are paving the way. Go support them before Sephora hears about this.
Overall, your skin experiences plenty of stress and damage throughout the day. It’s just natural. It’s the organ that’s keeping your body all together and protects you from free radicals in the air of your environment. Opting for a CBD lotion, even on your best days, gives your skin an extra boost. It can reinvigorate skin that’s dull and dry, and it can be especially useful after a day in the sun or a long trip.
CBD creams and lotions are infused with cannabidiol. Manufacturers claim that CBD products can be used as a pain reliever. They are commonly used for soreness, irritated skin, and inflammation. There is a difference between taking CBD and applying it on the skin. By applying it on the skin, there are no side effects compared to taking it orally. CBD is similar with THC just without the psychoactive effect. CBD creams and lotions can be an alternative for those who are not comfortable in taking THC.
This non-greasy formula is a lightweight counterpart to all those heavy hemp salves and balms that you tend to see on the market, so much so that you could use this every day on your entire body without worries about staining your clothes. Along with the Colorado-grown CBD oil, it has a lotion base made with aloe vera leaf juice powder (good for antioxidants), lactic acid (good for exfoliation), and other reputable skincare ingredients. Keep this by your shower and use it while your skin is still moist, warm, and soft for the best results.
If you’re ready to experience the trend that everyone is talking about, picking any one of these high quality lotions is a great way to experience CBD. The Vapor Vanity review team has tested each one of these products and verified that they are the best possible products that money can buy. As long as you choose from this list, any choice you make is going to be a great one. We hope you enjoy reading our “best-of” list as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Long before moisturizer could be purchased at convenience stores, or anti-wrinkle eye cream cost upward of $100, Indigenous people created their own skincare and cosmetic products with minerals, oils and plants harvested from Mother Earth.
For centuries, Aborigines in Australia have used emu oil as a natural sunscreen, and today scientific studies prove it soothes skin and reduces inflammation thanks to its essential fatty acids. Aboriginal women also first discovered the ability of yarrow extract to prevent stretch marks. Now yarrow-based hydrating creams are marketed to pregnant women to rub on their bellies. Many ingredients in modern day beauty and makeup products, like the Aloe Vera used in makeup remover, the jojoba in face moisturizers, and the Yucca used in firming facial serums were discovered (and used) by Native elders hundreds of years ago.
Generations later, the Indigenous beauty secrets of our ancestors are still proving effective. Thus, Indigenous-made skincare and cosmetic products deserve a place in our makeup bags and medicine cabinets. Here are 7 of the biggest and best Native-owned beauty companies worthy of global attention.
Download our free report, Intergenerational Trauma: Understanding Natives’ Inherited Pain, to understand this fascinating concept.
1. Native Touch
A line of award-winning soaps, scrubs, bath salts, moisturizing rubs and lip balm created by husband and wife Joseph and Laralyn RiverWind, nationally acclaimed NAMA-winning recording artists. Native Touch makes skin-care products for men, women, pets and tattoos, and according to the website, are 100 percent natural and vegan (no dyes, perfumes, beeswax or preservatives). Co-founder Laralyn, an herbal biologist who formulates Native Touch products in Andrews, North Carolina, said: “Our elders teach us that if you can’t eat it, you shouldn’t put it on your body. … the philosophy that inspires us to make quality, affordable, natural products you can feel safe to use.” (shop.nativetouch.us)
2. Sister Sky
Owned by real-life sisters Monica Simeon and Marina TurningRobe, Sister Sky makes herbal lotions, shampoos, conditioners and body washes on Spokane tribal land in Washington. They write on their website, “Our vision is to share Native American herbal wisdom in an authentic and respectful manner, promoting health, wellness and sustainability for ourselves, our communities and our planet.” Products are made with a variety of curative, healing plants used in ancient Native American medicine, such as sweet grass, cedar, yarrow, chamomile and hibiscus. (www.sistersky.com)
3. Medicine of the People
Inspired by her Navajo father who taught her how to gather and prepare medicinal herbs, Virginia Boone and her partner Leonard Marcus started Medicine of the People in 1995. They sell herbal balms, lotions, teas, massage oils and tinctures made from native plants to help heal a variety of conditions, such as burns, cuts, arthritis, sore muscles, stress and eczema. Their products are sold mostly at powwows, Native American conferences, museums, casinos and health food stores. “People are starving for this, they’re starving for a connection to the earth,” Boone said. “Medicine of the People makes them feel there’s somebody out there who has that connection. It’s a healing for their spirit.” (medicine-of-the-people.myshopify.com)
4. Native Naturals
Owned by an enrolled member of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe of North Dakota, Native Naturals manufactures an American Indian Spa Line of lotions, shampoos, conditioners, scrubs and oils made from plants that, according to ancient wisdom, have special healing powers: tobacco, sage, sweetgrass and cedar. Native Naturals says that their products were created “for those who want to connect more fully with the world of plants and spirits; to reconnect with the source that deeply feeds us – to bring mind, body and spirit into perfect balance.” (www.nativenaturals.com)
5. Native Wisdom
A family-run skin-care company started by a native named Jennifer Wolf, who worked as a chemist for the Food and Drug Administration and performed extensive research on herbal products. According to the website, their body butters and lotions contain beautifying ingredients used by indigenous cultures from all over the world, such as blueberry and pomegranate extracts and honey. They are free of parabens, phthalate and sulfates, and housed in recyclable containers. “As Native Americans, it was important to us to look to Mother Earth for answers on how to create natural products safe and exquisite enough for the whole family,” said Wolf. (nativewisdombeauty.com)
6. Mother Earth Essentials
A 100 percent Indigenous-owned company based in Alberta, Canada, that makes cleansers, lotions, oils, scrubs, creams, soaps, balms, medicinal tea blends, soy candles at “affordable prices.” Their emphasis is on using natural, sustainable ingredients from Mother Earth to help protect Mother Earth. A portion of their tea profits are used to fund culture camps on aboriginal land to promote and preserve traditional knowledge and culture for indigenous youth. (www.motherearthessentials.ca)
7. Kamamak Cosmetics
A mineral-based color cosmetics company that is 100 percent aboriginal-owned, headquartered in British Columbia. They manufacture colorful eyes shadows, lipsticks, creams, blushes and face powders that include gentle ingredients such as lanolin, Vitamin E, mica, grapefruit seed extract and jojoba oils. The website says that Kamamak products are “infused with the native culture of north America—a modern, fun, sophisticated, take on cosmetic art.” (www.kamamakcosmetics.com)

If you have medication that has expired, or if you did not finish a prescription, you may be tempted to dispose of the unwanted pills in the trashcan or by flushing them down the toilet. However, both of these options can be dangerous.
If you toss pills in the trash, someone could consume them. If you flush pills down the toilet you risk contaminating the water supply.
The best way to get rid of unwanted medication is to use the prescription medicine “Take-Back” programs that are offered by many cities and counties. Local pharmacies may also be willing to accept your unwanted medication (call them before bringing your unwanted medication to the store to be sure).
If neither of the above options is available to you, follow these steps to dispose of unwanted medications:
- Remove pills from their bottles. This will make it harder for anyone rummaging through the trash to identify the medication.
- Put pills in a bag with something undesirable, such as used kitty litter, mud, or coffee grounds. DO NOT mix pills or other medication with household cleaners, as this could cause a chemical reaction to occur.
- Seal the bag and throw it in the trash.

Dead Sea Mineral Mud may remove toxins and impurities from the skin, tighten and tone the complexion, and improve blood circulation, which may in turn aid in cell regeneration. Mud from the Dead Sea has a high content of salts and minerals that are claimed to be essential for the body, and it is widely used in Pelotherapy.
As the mud dries it pulls out toxins and pollutants unclogging pores, and boost its natural ability to heal. This purifying face mask creates a seal over the skin.

About Freedom Health Insurance
Freedom Health Insurance was founded in 2003 and since then has grown in popularity owing to its simple, transparent and flexible approach to private medical insurance. As a specialist health insurer, they cater to individuals, families, and businesses and pride themselves on having a friendly and knowledgeable team ready to go the extra mile for customers.
Freedom takes customer service seriously and sets out several promises to customers, new and old, to ensure they get the help they need as quickly as possible. In today’s world, where we all spend countless hours a year on hold, it’s refreshing to see that Freedom prioritises things, such as answering calls within five rings. That’s not just a sales promise either; they carry that through to customer services and claims, promising to process claims and pay them quickly - looking after you and the medical professionals providing your treatment.
Introducing Freedom Elite
Freedom Elite is Freedom’s flagship private health insurance policy designed to be both comprehensive and flexible. The core policy covers you for inpatient, and day-patient treatment and diagnostic tests, including complex tests such as MRI, CT and PET scans on referral from a specialist. In addition to that, and quite uniquely to Freedom, they include cover for many pregnancy complications and offer a maternity NHS cash benefit. While many of you reading this will likely wish to add extra cover to your policy, it’s good to know that you’ve got an excellent base to build off of and configure to your needs.
Benefits of Freedom Elite Health Insurance
We’ll get into some of the benefits of Freedom Elite’s health insurance in a bit more depth later in this review, but for now, here is a quick summary of things you should know:
- Access nearly all private hospitals and consultants in the UK, with the only exclusions being premium HCA hospitals (which can be added for an additional fee).
- The comprehensive Freedom Elite policy covers you for inpatient and day-patient treatment in a private hospital.
- A community-rated scheme which means your claims have no bearing on your renewal premium*.
- Prices aren’t based on your postcode, making policies a good option for those in traditionally expensive places, such as London.
- Cover for cancer treatment as standard, with diagnosis and testing available if you opt for their additional outpatient cover.
- Some conditions relating to pregnancy are covered, and they also offer an NHS maternity cash benefit of up to £150 per child if you’ve had a policy for at least ten months.
- High levels of customer satisfaction and promises to customers to respond quickly to enquiries and claims.
- Fix your premium for two years and reduce it by 6% if you pay annually rather than monthly.
- Flexible policy with the option to add cover for mental health, outpatient treatment and diagnosis, dental, optical and private GP services.
Disadvantages of Freedom Health Insurance
We have to be honest that there aren’t many disadvantages of Freedom Health Insurance, with the only ones of note being:
- No mental health support unless you pay for the optional extra cover.
- *Their community-rated scheme isn’t 100% watertight. They reserve the right to alter your renewal premiums based on your claims in exceptional circumstances.
- There is no option for self-referred treatment; everything must go through a GP or specialist.
Freedom Elite in detail
In this section of our review of Freedom Health Insurance, we dig into their policy, highlighting the best bits and explaining how they differ from others in the market.
Inpatient and day-patient cover
Freedom Elite gives you excellent cover for inpatient and day-patient treatment with all of the following included:
- Specialists fees
- Hospital fees
- Dental surgery (limits apply)
- MRI, CT and PET scans (when referred by a specialist)
- NHS inpatient and day-patient cash benefit
Comprehensive cancer cover - included as standard
With Freedom Elite, you get exceptional cancer cover in your core policy before considering additional options. Freedom covers the cost of cancer surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hormonal therapy, stem cell therapy and a bone marrow transplant in full. The only notable exclusion is that the investigation into and diagnosis of the cancer isn’t included unless you opt for their additional outpatient cover (which many of you likely will).
Summary of Freedom Elite’s Cancer Cover:
- Diagnosis of initial symptoms of cancer (if outpatient treatment is chosen)
- Full cover for surgical treatment
- Full cover for chemo and radiotherapy
- Genetic testing
- Targeted therapies
- Hormonal therapies
- Treatment to combat the side effects of chemo and radiotherapy
- Bone strengthening drugs
- Reconstructive surgery
- Stem cell therapy and bone marrow transplant (one complete procedure)
- Cover for primary and secondary cancers
As you can see, if you have a Freedom Elite policy, you will have access to the very best cancer treatment should the worse happen.
In line with others in the industry, the only things they won’t cover you for are experimental treatments, unlicensed drugs and preventative treatments when you’re symptom-free.
Access nearly all private hospitals in the UK
True to their name, Freedom’s Elite health insurance gives you access to nearly any private hospital in the UK. The only exceptions are HCA hospitals in Central London. With Freedom, you’ll have access to all of the following:
- Circle Health Group (Formerly BMI Healthcare)
- Nuffield Health
- Spire Healthcare
- Ramsay Health Care Group
- NHS hospitals with private facilities
- Select local and regional private hospitals
There are no specialist psychiatric hospitals on Freedom’s hospital list. However, if you’ve opted to add mental health treatment to your policy and want to be treated in a psychiatric hospital, your choice is considered on a case by case basis.
If you want to include HCA hospitals, you can; you just need to pay an additional premium to have them on your policy. HCA aside, Freedom’s hospital list is one of the most generous in the market, and the same is true when it comes to the consultants you can access.
Unrestricted consultant access
With Freedom, you get unrestricted access to any consultant or specialist in the UK. That’s a big plus and a huge selling point, as many of you will likely buy health insurance because it gives you more choice over who provides your treatment. This freedom isn’t always the case, with many larger insurers often restricting your choice in return for slightly lower premiums.
Outpatient cover (optional extra)
Freedom gives you a choice between two levels of outpatient cover, either cover in full or to a limit of £1,500 per year. Taking out this option means that you'll benefit from receiving a diagnosis as promptly as possible and gain access to some outpatient treatments, including physiotherapy.
Mental health cover (optional extra)
Mental health cover is only available on Freedom health insurance’s Elite plan as an optional extra. If you add mental health cover to your policy, you’ll be covered for up to 45 days of inpatient or day-patient treatment for acute mental health conditions. You’ll also be able to access outpatient treatment, including consultations with a specialist and treatment with a psychologist, psychotherapist or cognitive behavioural therapist.
Specialist psychiatric hospitals aren’t included on Freedom’s hospital list but can be approved on a case by case basis. If you need treatment in a specialist unit, you’ll need to contact them for approval on your chosen hospital when you make your claim.
Dental, optical and private GP cover (optional extra)
Freedom Elite covers you for dental surgery required due to several conditions; however, much like most of the market, it's an extra if you’d like routine dental and optical appointments covered. This option includes cover for private GP costs, which could be helpful and isn’t common amongst other providers.
Freedom’s dental cover gives you up to £300 per policy year towards routine services your dentist or hygienist provides. Alongside that, they’ll also cover you for up to £600 due to a dental injury. The only thing to bear in mind is that a compulsory excess of £50 per insured person for each period of insurance applies.
- Routine dental costs - up to £300
- Accidental injury - up to £600
The optical part of the “Dental, optical and private GP” package covers you for up to £200 towards the cost of routine check-ups and glasses and lenses if there has been a change in prescription. Similarly to the dental aspect, specific optical surgeries are included in your core policy. For example, you could claim under your core Elite policy if you needed treatment for an acute case of cataracts.
Like others in the market, Freedom offers access to a 24/7 virtual GP service which they call GP24, so if you need to speak to someone quickly, you can. However, they go further with their optional “Dental, optical and private GP” package. They’ll also cover up to £300 in face-to-face private GP consultations. This is a rare addition, and one that’s very useful when seeing a doctor in person is either your preference or a requirement of the symptoms you’re suffering.
More on Freedom’s 24/7 virtual GP service
Access to a virtual GP service is becoming increasingly popular, as it gives you the freedom to arrange your GP appointments around work and your other commitments. You can access the telephone service 24/7, 365 days a year, but the online service is only available between 8 am and 10 pm and closes on Christmas Day.
The virtual GP service can provide private prescriptions (chargeable separately) and refer you for further treatment. You can access your notes online and choose to share them with your GP. There’s also a messaging service and access to health information online.
Maternity and pregnancy
One of the key aspects where Freedom stands out is that they include some pregnancy cover, which most health insurance doesn’t.
Freedom includes cover for pregnancy complications, including miscarriage, stillbirth, ectopic pregnancy, molar pregnancy, post-partum haemorrhage and retained placenta, and any other complications resulting from those conditions. The only exclusions are:
- Caesarean sections (whether planned or emergency)
- Termination (unless the mother’s life is at risk)
- Treatment of the embryo or foetus
- Treatment required as a result of any form of assisted reproduction
Freedom Elite provide a maternity cash benefit of £150 if you have a baby at least ten months after the start of your policy. We can understand how they’ve done the maths on that.
What does Freedom exclude?
Like any insurer, Freedom has a fair number of exclusions, and you should always review their policy documentation before taking out a policy to familiarise yourself with them. Here are some of the key exclusions worth bringing your attention to now:
- Pre-existing medical conditions
- Long-term and chronic conditions
- Accident and emergency admissions
- Cosmetic surgery and treatment
- Pregnancy and childbirth (bar the complications they do cover)
- Professional sports and hazardous activities
Freedom health insurance offers both moratorium underwriting, where anything you've received treatment or advice for in the past five years is automatically excluded. You can also opt for full medical underwriting, where you share your medical history upfront. Around 95% of health insurance in the UK is written on a moratorium basis, but that doesn't mean it's always the best, especially for those with more complex medical histories. For that reason, we'd suggest it's something you raise with your health insurance broker, as they will be able to help you make an informed decision.
Freedom Health Insurance Discounts
Freedom health insurance offers a few ways to save money on your policy through discounts and other incentives.
No premium increases in your first two years
Firstly, they guarantee that your premium won't increase during the first two years of your policy, even if you've made a claim. They also operate a community-rated scheme rather than a traditional no claims discount, aiming to keep premiums down even if you need to make a claim.
Pay annually and save 6%
If you have the money, you've got the option to pay for the whole year in advance, and if you do, you'll receive a 6% discount on your premium.
Only pay for the first child
You'll only pay for the first child if you take out health insurance for yourself and your family. This applies to any children who live with you up until the age of 29, which could represent a significant discount if they haven't flown the nest yet.
Discounts on healthier living
Freedom works in partnership with WW (formerly known as Weight Watchers). Customers can sign up for either a WW Digital plan or a WW Unlimited Workshops and Digital plan and receive a 30% discount on their usual membership fees. The Digital plan provides access to a personalised weight loss plan, tools and resources online. The Unlimited Workshops plan includes digital tools and adds one-on-one coaching and group support.
How much does Freedom Health Insurance cost?
In February 2022, we obtained pricing from Freedom Health Insurance for their Elite policy for six age groups in ten locations across the UK. Needless to say, there wasn't any pricing variation across the UK. As you would expect, the cost of the policies increased as they became older. We opted for a £250 excess and outpatient cover limited to £1,500 per year for this research. We didn't choose their Dental, Optical and Private GP option, nor did we opt for mental health cover.
Freedom Health Insurance prices (Feb 2022)
- 20 years old - £45.31* per month
- 30 years old - £53.27* per month
- 40 years old - £67.09* per month
- 50 years old - £93.88* per month
- 60 years old - £135.26* per month
- 70 years old - £225.18* per month
*Prices true as of February 2022. We opted for a £250 excess, £1,500 in outpatient cover and excluded mental health, dental and optical cover.
Freedom Health Insurance Reviews
Being a relatively small company, Freedom hasn’t amassed the number of reviews of others in the market. However, those they have received have been largely positive. They currently hold a 4.6 out of 5-star rating from customers on Feefo and a 4 out of 5-star rating from Defaqto.
Customers on Feefo often speak in superlatives about Freedom, with reviews citing them as providing a “brilliant service”, an “efficient and friendly service”, and being “really helpful and supportive”.

Most people turn to acne treatment when faced with acne.
Acne is irritating, embarrassing, and in severe cases, can even be disfiguring, leaving your face pitted with scars.
With so many people affected by acne, even into their adult life, there’s a huge industry of cosmetic products that claim to fight acne.
Trying to figure out what actually works can be a nightmare. Fortunately, our research team has looked up the most effective and scientifically validated acne treatments and ranked the best products that deliver them.
CleaRx’s goal is to put prescription-strength acne medication into your hands without a prescription. It’s the first FDA registered maximum strength over-the-counter acne treatment regimen.
It uses a powerful 3 step process to send your acne packing.
- Step 1 is an exfoliating cleanser that removes dirt and dead skin.
- Step 2 is a moisturizer that soothes sensitive and dry skin. It’s packed with natural extracts such as algae extract and ginseng extract to medicate as well as soothe.
- Step 3 is a blemish creme that uses benzoyl peroxide and a proprietary blend of other acne-fighting ingredients to clear your skin like never before.
It’s FDA registered, paraben-free, cruelty-free, and if you don’t see results in 90 days they’ll give you your money back no questions asked.
It’s easy to see why so many people turn to CleaRx, and why it’s at the top of our list.
2. Neutrogena Complete Acne Therapy System
Neutrogena is the leading name in acne treatment and for good reason. This three-part kit shows that they’ve done their homework. It incorporates the two best acne-fighting compounds you can get, namely, salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide.
In addition, the kit comes with a moisturizing lotion that includes sunscreen, which is especially important when using strong oxidizers like benzoyl peroxide because of their tendency to induce hypersensitivity to sunlight in your skin.
With a complete combination of cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration, Neutrogena’s Complete Acne Therapy System is a fantastic, comprehensive acne treatment program.
3. Paula’s Choice CLEAR Acne Kit
Instead of trying to cobble together your own acne treatment routine, it’s often easier to get a kit that’s got everything you need.
Paula’s Choice comes highly recommended from skincare aficionados thanks to its inclusion of both salicylic acid and 5% benzoyl peroxide. Even so, you’ll still want a non-clogging moisturizer to use afterwards, especially if you have sensitive skin.
4. DRMTLGY Tri-Active Acne Pads
These pads are infused with glycolic acid, lactic acid, and most importantly, salicylic acid, and help wash away sweat, dirt, and oils from your face.
A salicylic acid-based daily washing routine should be part of any acne treatment program, assuming your skin doesn’t react poorly to salicylic acid.
Its chemical exfoliating abilities are well-demonstrated in dermatological studies, and DRMTLGY’s Tri-Active Pads are a great way to apply salicylic acid while also removing the matter that accumulates on your skin during the day. They’re an excellent choice for a nightly face-washing routine.
5. Clean & Clear Advantage Acne Spot Treatment
For skin that doesn’t respond well to benzoyl peroxide, what are your options for spot-treating a breakout or a cyst? One of the best ways to deal with it is with Clean & Clear Advantage Acne Spot Treatment.
The precision applicator uses a double-dosage of salicylic acid to fight the redness, irritation, and inflammation that is part and parcel of an acne cyst. Benzoyl peroxide is usually a better option if your skin can take it, but if not, this is a great choice.
6. Replenix Acne Wash
Replenix is a simple and powerful acne face wash. Its active ingredient is benzoyl peroxide, which is a highly reactive compound that helps dry out oily skin and get rid of acne.
However, it’s very powerful: at a 10% concentration, many people will find that this causes redness, irritation, dry skin, or flakiness. It’s definitely not for you if you’ve got sensitive skin, but recalcitrant acne that’s resisted more gentle treatments will often succumb to a strong benzoyl peroxide wash.
It’s essential that you rehydrate your skin with a non-clogging moisturizer after use, though, because of the incredibly strong drying properties of the benzoyl peroxide in this product.
7. TreeActiv Cystic Acne Spot Treatment
For people with sensitive skin, it can be hard to find a good treatment for breakouts and stubborn acne cysts. The usual weapon of choice, benzoyl peroxide creams, can often make problems worse if your skin doesn’t react well to it.
TreeActiv solves that problem with their spot treatment cream that’s based on natural and less-irritating ingredients. The principle beneficial ingredient in this formula is tea tree oil, which has been scientifically demonstrated as an effective acne treatment.
It does take longer to work than a traditional chemical treatment, but it has a lower incidence of side effects.
8. Neutrogena Light Therapy Acne Spot Treatment
If sensitive skin is a problem with all of the products that you try, there’s a way around this: use light instead. Neutrogena’s Light Therapy is not a cosmetic product; it’s really a pen light with two LEDs that apply high-intensity light at specific wavelengths tuned to fight inflammation and kill the bacteria in your skin that cause acne.
Dermatology clinics use higher-power versions of this same phototherapy treatment to attack acne underneath the skin. Though this technique for fighting acne is scientifically validated, it does have some practical limitations. First, it can only be used for spot treatment, since the area where the light focuses is quite small.
Second, it can be pretty impractical to hold this pen-light up to your face for five minutes, three times per day. But that inconvenience might be worth it if your skin rebels at all of the spot treatments you try.
9.Neutralyze Moderate To Severe Acne Treatment Kit
Neutralyze is out on the cutting edge of skin cosmetics, employing several new chemicals in this combo kit to attempt to get around some of the limitations of traditional acne treatments.
It has a standard face wash without any exfoliating compounds in it to first wash dirt away from your face. Next, it applies an acne treatment based on salicylic acid as well as mandelic acid, a related compound that acts through a slightly different mechanism.
In the third part of the kit, which would typically be an aggressive benzoyl peroxide wash, Neutralyze instead uses a blend that aims to generate nitric oxide.
This compound should also be able to oxidize acne, but Neutralyze hopes that it’s less likely to cause side effects. These newer compounds aren’t proven like the tried and true ingredients, but might be worth a look if usual treatments fail.
10. Proactiv 3-Step Acne Treatment System
Proactiv offers three acne treatment steps that are based around benzoyl peroxide, though in a lower concentration (2.5%) than some of the higher-powered acne washes.
The intermediate step in the treatment process involves refreshing your skin with a hydrating solution that has witch hazel and glycolic acid in it, which assist with exfoliation.
This combination has the promise of working well, but may dry out your skin too much if you don’t have oily skin to begin with.
11. Vie Naturelle Spot Treatment
Vie Naturelle takes the interesting step of combining a fairly strong benzoyl peroxide solution with moisturizers like shea butter and natural acne-fighters like tea tree oil.
It’s only a spot treatment, but might be kinder on your skin than some of the more harsh benzoyl peroxide creams on the market.
Who should buy an acne treatment?
Whether you have constant acne or just the occasional breakout or pimple, and acne treatment can help.
Since acne is an extremely common dermatological problem, it’s been heavily studied, and there are several great products on the market that are based on solid scientific research into the problem of acne.
Acne is commonly associated with teenagers, but plenty of adults continue to have acne problems. It’s most common on your face, but acne can also appear on your back, shoulders, or chest.
If acne is giving you trouble, don’t bother with a folk remedy—you want a well-crafted, powerful product to fight pimples and blackheads, without irritating your skin.
How we ranked
Acne is a heavily studied subject, with hundreds of scientific papers being published on its causes and potential treatments.
As such, our research team had a wealth of data to draw on when formulating our rankings. Our first and most important criteria for any product that was considered for our rankings was that it contain at least one of three proven ingredients that fight acne: salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, or tea tree oil.
Each of these ingredients have a substantial amount of scientific evidence that indicate they are an effective way to fight acne. Next up, we evaluated the expected efficacy of each product depending on the concentration and choice of its active ingredients.
For products with benzoyl peroxide, we had to take a careful risk-benefit analysis. Benzoyl peroxide can come in cosmetic products at concentrations of up to 10%, and the greater the concentration, the greater the oxidizing power to eat away at pimples.
However, higher concentrations also carry a greater risk of side effects like redness and irritation. Scientific research suggests that most people should start out with a product that provides 2.5% benzoyl peroxide for starters, then increase to a greater concentration of up to 10% if the initial results are not what you want.
So, while our top-rated products tended to contain 2.5% benzoyl peroxide, we made sure to retain a few that contained higher concentrations for people with stubborn acne that does not respond to lower concentrations.
Standard face washes with salicylic acid were also important constituents of the products on our rankings.
Salicylic acid is not as harsh as benzoyl peroxide, and as such, it’s much easier for many people to use. Salicylic acid products were a good way to balance out the use of benzoyl peroxide as a spot treatment: a whole-face wash that uses salicylic acid can control most of your acne, with targeted application of benzoyl peroxide when necessary.
Finally, we made sure to include products with tea tree oil for people looking for a milder and more natural product to treat acne. But, we didn’t want pure tea tree oil—a cream-based product is better, as it holds the tea tree oil next to the problem areas for longer.
Tea tree oil can be nearly as effective as standard acne treatments, but with fewer side effects, so while our top placements were reserved for the more potent salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide products, we made sure that the best tea tree oil products made the list as well for people whose skin can’t handle the harsher chemicals that are usually used for acne.
Treating acne is a long-term project, but with the right treatment tools, you can get the benefits you want. These benefits include clearer skin, a reduction in newly-formed pimples, and avoiding acne scars.
Fighting acne in the skin is largely a matter of clearing up clogged pores and preventing them from getting dirt, sweat, oil, and bacteria inside them in the first place. Given the high prevalence of acne, there are several well-researched treatment options that should be part of any acne treatment you use.
Salicylic acid is one of the mainstays of acne treatment. This compound helps exfoliate your skin and cut down on the oil and dead skin that accumulates and contributes to the development and worsening of acne. It’s fairly mild as far as chemical exfoliants go; most people tolerate salicylic acid fairly well.
A study published in the scientific journal Dermatologic Surgery by the dermatologist Pearl Grimes tested the efficacy of salicylic acid in a wide variety of patients with different skin types and ethnicities (1).
The study found that nearly 90% of patients had a good response to the salicylic acid treatment, with side effects like redness and flakey skin occurring in 16% of the patients.
The next step up in terms of aggressiveness is benzoyl peroxide. Benzoyl peroxide is a strong oxidizing agent that can dry out skin and clear up oil with incredible efficacy. This strength comes with stronger side effects, though; it’s prone to cause dryness, redness, and irritation in some people.
Regardless, it’s the best option for spot-treating a breakout or a cyst, and for people with acne that’s resistant to treatment, a benzoyl peroxide face wash can make a big difference. Benzoyl peroxide comes in several different concentrations, and as you’d guess, the stronger the concentration, the more powerful the effect–but also the higher the likelihood of negative effects.
This was the conclusion of a study published in the International Journal of Dermatology that compared 2.5%, 5%, and 10% benzoyl peroxide (2). The study concluded that most people should start with a 2.5% concentration, because this had the best combination of efficacy and low risk of side effects.
For people who find benzoyl too harsh on their skin, one natural alternative might be tea tree oil. A scientific article published in 1990 compared benzoyl peroxide to tea tree oil in a group of 124 patients with acne and found that, while the tea tree oil took longer to take effect, it was an effective treatment for acne, and had significantly fewer side effects (3).
If chemical based treatments are too harsh on your skin, one alternative to look into is light therapy. Using LEDs that transmit red and blue colored light, it’s possible to decrease inflammation and kill the bacteria that cause acne. Some consumer-grade products offer this technology, which used to be reserved for dermatology offices.
A scientific article published in the British Journal of Dermatology found that phototherapy (the scientific name for this treatment) that used both blue and red wavelength light was an effective short-term treatment for acne that had no observable side effects (4).
The downside to this treatment strategy is the inconvenience that comes with aiming a light at spot breakouts for several minutes at a time, two or three times a day.
Tea tree oil is an effective natural treatment for acne. If the harsh chemicals that are usually used to treat acne aren’t up your alley, or if you want something that is more gentle on your skin, an acne treatment based on tea tree oil might be exactly what you need.
According to research published in India, tea tree oil can significantly reduce the number of pimples over the course of a 45 day treatment period when compared to a placebo (5).
Tea tree oil is thought to kill the bacteria that cause the inflammation and swelling that is the root cause of acne, as reported in a 2002 scientific article on the chemical properties of tea tree oil (6).
Compared to the best treatments out there, tea tree oil appears to work a bit slower, but also may cause fewer side effects. That was the conclusion of a study published in the Medical Journal of Australia, which compared tea tree oil to a 5% benzoyl peroxide cream (7).
While it took a few more weeks for the tea tree oil to have an effect, the people who were randomly assigned the tea tree oil had fewer side effects than those who were assigned the benzoyl peroxide.
These findings suggests that tea tree oil as a natural alternative could be a good choice if your skin gets too dry, red, or irritated by standard acne treatments like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. Try using a cream instead of liquid tea tree oil, though, as a cream based product is more likely to be effective.
Unfortunately, part of the reason why there are so many different acne treatments out there is that many people experience side effects when they use whatever they find on the shelf at a store.
Typically these occur because the chemicals used on the skin are too harsh for people with sensitive skin. Though side effects are most common in benzoyl peroxide based products, they can occur any any topical skin treatment. Tea tree oil appears to be the least problematic among the treatments for acne that actually work.
If you have redness, irritation, or worsening of your acne, you should try backing off on your acne routine–perhaps only using your face wash twice a week, for example.
If this still doesn’t help, you should switch to a different product. If you use benzoyl peroxide, it’s especially important to be aware of photosensitivity, which means that your skin is much more likely to get damaged by sunlight after being treated with benzoyl peroxide.
As a result, you should use a moisturizing lotion which also contains sunscreen if you use a benzoyl peroxide based treatment. Some combination kits include these lotions as part of their formulation.
Most dermatologists recommend some variant of the following routine: first, wash your face, using a face wash that’s based on salicylic acid or, for more stubborn cases of acne, benzoyl peroxide.
If you have a lot of sweat and grime on your face, or if you wear makeup during the day, you may want to use a standard face wash first to remove all of that.
You’ll want to pat your face dry with a clean towel, and if you are going to bed, use a clean pillowcase. If you have active pimples, you should apply a spot treatment that is based on benzoyl peroxide.
If you’ve used any product with benzoyl peroxide in it in the morning, you’ll want to finish off by applying sunscreen: benzoyl peroxide causes photosensitivity, so your skin is much more vulnerable to sun damage. Choose a sunscreen that is non-comedogenic, meaning that it will not block your pores.
Q: What is the best treatment for acne?
A: The best treatment for acne is a combination of a face wash that is based on either salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, and spot treatment that uses benzoyl peroxide to attack active pimples.
Since you’ll be using benzoyl peroxide, you’ll want to include a good sunscreen in your routine as well, as benzoyl peroxide makes your skin more vulnerable to sun damage. While it can take several weeks to see benefits, these are the best treatments for acne according to dermatological research.
Q: What is a good way to get rid of acne?
A: If you have active pimples, the best way to treat them is using a benzoyl peroxide-based “spot treatment.”
Spot treatments are concentrated creams that are designed to keep a concentrated amount of benzoyl peroxide next to the pimple, which will dehydrate it, shrink it, and eventually make the dead skin flake off and reveal new, healthy skin underneath.
In combination with a general face wash that uses either benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to increase the rate at which dead skin is removed from your face, this is the best strategy for getting rid of acne.
Q: What would a dermatologist prescribe for acne?
A: Dermatologists usually start by recommending a face wash that uses salicylic acid, plus a benzoyl peroxide spot treatment.
Depending on the severity of your acne and the sensitivity of your skin, a dermatologist might prescribe a higher concentration benzoyl peroxide cream.
If you don’t respond to these first-line treatments, a dermatologist might prescribe retinoids like Retin-A (a type of retinol cream), or oral antibiotics.
Q: What are some homemade acne treatments?
A: Some people swear by home remedies for acne that are based on clay, apple cider vinegar, or other natural products you can make at home, but these remedies do not have the strength of dermatological evidence behind them that salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, or even tea tree oil have. If you want to stick with something natural, tea tree oil is a better product than a home remedy.
Q: What is the best spot treatment for acne?
A: For spot treating an angry pimple or blackhead, there’s no doubt that benzoyl peroxide is the best weapon you can choose. It dehydrates the pimple and also causes the dead skin surrounding it to slough off, leaving healthy skin below.
If a pimple doesn’t respond to a spot treatment, you can try increasing the concentration of benzoyl peroxide from 2.5% to 5% or even 10%—but you should be aware that this increases the risk of side effects, and scientific evidence thus far indicates that 2.5% is the best balance between efficacy and side effects for most people.
Q: Is retinol cream good for acne?
A: Retinol cream has been studied as a treatment for acne, with some success. It uses similar principles to salicylic acid to treat acne: it increases the turnover rate of the skin cells on your face, so your skin is renewed more rapidly.
Retinol cream’s biggest use, however, is actually for treating acne scars: thanks to its anti-wrinkle properties, retinol cream
Q: How do you treat acne scars?
A: A good retinol cream is a great first-line treatment for acne scars. Retinol cream is also sometimes used to treat acne, and is perhaps better-known for its use as an anti-aging treatment, but it is surprisingly effective at healing acne scars.
Some dermatologists even believe that retinol should be used in conjunction with other acne treatments to prevent scarring from happening in the first place (8).
While it can take a few months for retinol to have its full effect, it is one of the most powerful over the counter treatments to heal acne scars.
If retinol does not do the trick for you, it’s a good idea to see a dermatologist, as there are some prescription medications and procedures that can also be used to heal acne scars.
Finally, make sure you use a sunscreen religiously when you are using a retinol cream, because retinol increases your skin’s sensitivity to sunlight.
Q: How do you use tea tree oil for spot treatment of acne?
A: Tea tree oil is easiest to use as a spot treatment when it comes in a cream. While you can get liquid-form tea tree oil, these tend not to stay on your skin as well.
Cream based tea tree oil products, like TreeActiv Cystic Acne Spot Treatment (which you can find in our rankings), will sit on your skin better and will keep the tea tree oil in contact with the problem area for much longer. If you have a tea tree oil cream, you can use it just like you’d use benzoyl peroxide cream.
Q: How do you find the right acne treatment for you?
A: Finding the best acne treatment can take some trial and error, especially if you have sensitive skin. Even so, with a topic as heavily studied as acne treatment, it never hurts to start with what works for everyone else.
That means a salicylic acid face wash, plus a 2.5% benzoyl peroxide spot treatment. If those don’t do the trick, you can move up to a benzoyl peroxide face wash if you aren’t getting the treatment result that you want, or you can switch to tea tree oil if your skin is getting too red and irritated.
At this point, you can also experiment with adding a retinol cream if you are worried about scarring, or if you want an additional compound to treat your acne.
If you still aren’t getting the results you want, or if you are still having skin irritation problems, it’s worth your while to see a dermatologist to get a tailored acne treatment program, plus identify any potential underlying skin problems that could be making it more difficult to reduce your acne.
Treating acne does not have to be an impossible task. With the right treatment plan that incorporates effective compounds, you stand a very good chance of reducing or eliminating your acne problem.
Most people should start with a salicylic acid based treatment and see how their skin reacts. If your skin handles the salicylic acid treatment fine, but your acne does not improve, you can try a stronger benzoyl peroxide face wash.
If you do, make sure you get a non-clogging moisturizer to use afterwards, ideally one that offers some sun protection to prevent photosensitivity. If your skin can’t handle even salicylic acid, a product that is based on tea tree oil might be more effective.
This is also a good fall-back option for people who need something more powerful than salicylic acid but whose skin does not react well to benzoyl peroxide.
