Sam Faiers has revealed her secret struggle with adult acne, as she shared a candid snap of her skin.
The former TOWIE star admitted she was “really nervous” as she posted a photo of her spots on Instagram.
The 29-year-old wrote: “I’ve been really nervous about posting this picture. The last few years I’ve been very quiet about the fact that I’ve been suffering with adult acne – in my case, it was hormonal.”
“After breastfeeding Rosie, my skin just broke out and I couldn’t get it under control. I tried absolutely everything. It felt like the more I was doing to stop it, the worse it became.”

“I’ve been so embarrassed about it and have used filters on Instagram to try and hide it. I would always edit and smooth my skin in pictures and I definitely wouldn’t leave the house without makeup.”
“I initially started to use collagen skincare products for the anti-ageing qualities but soon noticed a dramatic reduction in breakouts along with my skin becoming firmer, lines reducing and my skin feeling more hydrated.”
Sam then said her issues inspired her to start her own skincare range.
She continued: “That’s why I set out to create a collagen skincare brand @revivecollagen.”
“Over the past two years, I’ve been working with some of the UK’s top laboratories to bring to the market a uniquely formulated skincare brand that delivers real results.”
“Ladies, this a game changing product and I’ve never felt more passionate about something… @ReviveCollagen launches this Friday 8am!”
