Try Me Skincare · Our Story
We didn't start with products.
We started with a wound that wouldn't heal.
At 30 years old, having never had acne before, my skin changed overnight. Five years of dermatologists later, I found the answer where I least expected it: in my grandmother's hands.

An acne that wasn't supposed to be there.
I never had acne as a teenager. That's what made it so hard to understand when, at age 30, my skin began breaking out in severe blemishes that wouldn't let up. For five years I visited dermatologists, followed treatments, and spent large amounts of money. Some products controlled the breakouts, yes — but in exchange they left my skin dry, flaking, so tight that it hurt to talk.
I lived watching the clock on that one jar. If it ran out in the morning, by afternoon the active breakouts were already back — as if my own skin knew. I'd put on makeup for special events and my skin would get worse. I stopped looking in the mirror. I was embarrassed to go out. My self-esteem faded, physically and emotionally, breakout after breakout.
"Use what I use." — that's what my maternal grandmother told me, a woman with porcelain skin I'd always admired.
I laughed when I asked her what she used. Beef tallow with medicinal herbs, she answered, completely serious. I laughed again — and then she looked at me straight on and added: "Try it. You have nothing to lose." She was right. I had nothing left to lose.
The skin didn't lie.
I followed my grandmother's formula exactly as she gave it to me. Within the first 27 days, that tightness was gone. The breakouts didn't disappear right away — but they stopped showing up new. Drag to see the real change, no filters.
Before
After
The "before" images show María's skin mid-breakout, unedited. The "after" image was taken weeks later, after consistent use of her ancestral formula.
The same skin. A different life.
This is María today — no filters, no heavy makeup. The formula her grandmother passed down is the same one behind every Try Me product.
From despair to the formula that changed everything.
Dermatologists, treatments, no real relief
Products that controlled breakouts but destroyed the skin barrier: extreme dryness, flaking, pain when talking. A total dependence on a jar that never lasted long enough.
"Use what I use"
My maternal grandmother, with her porcelain skin, shared a secret she'd used her whole life: beef tallow with medicinal herbs. With nothing to lose, I prepared it exactly as she taught me.
The skin stopped pulling tight
Before I saw the change, I felt it: the tightness was gone. I could talk and smile without pain. The existing breakouts started fading and no new ones appeared.
An ancestral formula, now for you
My skin fully regenerated. I decided to share this secret with anyone who, like me, feels frustrated and hopeless facing acne. That's how Try Me was born.
When you find something that changes your life, sharing it becomes a purpose.María Ibarra · Founder of Try Me Skincare
