Product Review: Banish Starter Kit

Friday, April 28, 2017

     I've suffered from adult acne when I was in college. I went to the dermatologist and beauty clinics to seek help but the medications and procedures gave temporary solutions. Fast forward today, I only get pimples every time of the month. I guess it's because I'm taking birth control pills and that prevents my face from breaking out. But I still have small acne scars, blemishes, big pores, and other imperfections that was brought by my adult acne years ago.

     I know it's disappointing and frustrating to have an acne. It's a battle that adolescents and even adults face once in their life. It lowers self-esteem that's why finding the right solution to combat them is a must. I don't have perfect skin- I still get pimples every now and then plus there are still blemishes on my face. Months ago, I received an email from Banish and the word "natural skin care line" stirred the interest in me because I'm an avid fan or natural and organic products since time immemorial. Let me present to you BANISH- a product line that gets to the root of problems, not just to cover them up temporarily. Use fresh natural ingredients, sourced from the West Coast of United States and aims to focus on the internal rather than external healing. Full review details of the Banish Starter Kit after the jump!

     Pimples can plague even the freshest of faces. While these pimples and blemishes can cause unsightly redness and bumps, it can also affect your confidence. To stave off pimples and consequently boost confidence, Céleteque DERMOSCIENCE has come up with its ACNE SOLUTIONS line that specifically targets pimples.

     This is a line of highly specialized Dermatologist-created products that aim to clear up acne and control oily skin. With regular use, studies have shown a substantial improvement of 80% clearer skin in as early as one week. Have you tried one or two products from the line? I made a review of their acne spot corrector gel HERE years ago and actually it's the first pimple treatment that made into my skin care essential list.

     Hello dearies! I would like to share this feature of AcneCare Soap. If you're one of those asking and wondering what type of soap is suited for pimple and acne prone skin, I think here's the answer that you've been waiting for.

     To be honest, the soaps that was sent to me by Vida Nutriscience are still with me, in my stash and unopened. Since I really don't experience breakouts for the last three years, methinks that I won't be needing these for now. But for those who are problematic with their skin due to breakouts, here's one of the soaps that you might want to try. This soap is also available at http://www.cheskasstore.net/ Since I have not tried it yet, I will not give a more in-depth review and recommendation. I will share important information about AcneCare Soap- what it's for, ingredients, price and where to buy, okay? So now let's start :)

Product Review: AcneCare Acne Drying Lotion

Thursday, April 28, 2016

     Looks like there's another pimple and zit buster in town. Vida Nutriscience Inc., the makers of AcneCare Capsule and AcneCare Soap made their own version of Mario Badescu Drying Lotion but for a fraction of the cost. Last year, (yes, this is a long overdue post) Vida Nutriscience Inc. sent me the newest addition to their anti-acne skin care product line to try. I received boxes of AcneCare soap which I will just give a short shout out in this post as I haven't use a bar until now.

     This post will mainly focus on AcneCare Acne Drying Lotion which I presume that is receiving positive reviews from other bloggers who have tried it. I've been using this product once a month, pre-menstrual or post-menstrual period where one or two cystic pimples appear either on my chin or cheeks. By the way, I found out that this product is available at http://www.cheskasstore.net/ if it's always out of stock in other stores. So without further ado, here is my honest to goodness review of AcneCare Acne Drying Lotion.

Product Review: AcneCare Acne Drying Lotion
     
     AcneCare Drying Lotion is a fast acting, effective acne spot solution for all skin types. Here are the key ingredients:
  • Zinc Oxide- It helps clear up acneic skin due to sun's UV rays, pollution, harsh weather, dry air, bacteria, viruses, chemicals in personal care products, poor diet, stress, and lack of exercise can all damage skin on a daily basis.
  • Titanium Dioxide- An active ingredient that is used as a coloring agent, whitener, thickening agent, and sunscreen.

Use a cotton bud to get the pink sediment. 

Product Review: AcneCare Acne Drying Lotion
L- small pimple, it's already on the 'hinog' stage.
R- how it looks like after application of AcneCare Acne Drying Lotion.

What I like:
  • The price is very affordable if I'll do the math because I only need a little amount to cover my zit/s.
  • A little amount goes a long way.
  • There's a minty and cooling sensation once the product is applied on my angry, reddish, and painful zit.
  • Doesn't burn or peel the site where I applied it.
  • Dries quickly upon application.
  • It can dry up a small pimple overnight.
  • There's a minty and cooling sensation that I felt upon application. It's soothing and can calm redness.
  • No further irritation, breakouts, or whatsoever.
  • Batch, manufacturing, expiration date printed on the bottle.
  • Easily accessible.

What I don't like:
  • The packaging is flimsy.
  • I wish it's in a more decent bottle packaging.
  • Always OOS. (out of stock)
  • There's a herbalish scent that my nose can't tolerate.

Will I repurchase? Yes, but not for now as I still have a back-up bottle in my stash.

Recommendations:
     I give this a 4.75/5 rating. This is easy to apply just get a cotton bud and dip inside the bottle to get the pink sediment and apply it to your pimple/s. I highly recommend this product because it really works. For small pimples, it will take overnight but for those with a moderate case, it takes two to three days in my experience before the pimple/s shrink in size and totally dry itself.

     Even though the recommended dose of application is once a day, I apply it twice especially if a pimple is big and painful. What you need to do if you're just staying at home is apply this after a bath and after washing your face at night before bedtime.

Avène Cleanance EXPERT Acne Solution Launch

Monday, November 16, 2015

     Hi dearies! How's everyone doing lately? Christmas is just around the corner but honestly speaking I can't feel the cold breeze yet. It's still very hot and humid in the afternoon, right? I'm excited when ber months arrive because cold weather for me means less oiliness and pimples. Do you feel the same? I don't want to blame the weather but in my experience, excessive sweating on my scalp and forehead leads to a pimple of two at the end of the day. That's how sensitive my skin is.

     Did you know that Acne affects 80 percent of teenagers and 40 percent of adults worldwide. While this chronic inflammatory disease is treatable, making effective treatment to solve the condition is essential not only to smoothen the skin but also boost a person’s confidence. This is why when you have a pimple you want to hide it, conceal it, and when it dries, you want the dark marks and blemishes disappear because it can lower self-esteem. I was very privileged to be invited to the launch of Avene Cleanance EXPERT Acne Solution last October at the ground floor of SM Department Store, Makati City. More details about the product line below.
Avène Cleanance EXPERT Acne Solution Launch
     Eau Thermale Avène—the leading dermo-cosmetic brand in Europe launched Cleanance EXPERT, a daily treatment which targets unwanted spots and blackheads. The exclusive distributor of Eau Thermale Avène products in the Philippines- Karihome Inc's General Manager Harry Tsai shared that acne usually takes a toll on a person’s self-esteem. Some even avoid going out with altogether or meet new people. These situations are very alarming according to him. But with the Avène Cleanance EXPERT products, people with acne-prone skin can finally have the confidence to face people.
Avène Cleanance EXPERT Acne Solution Launch
Eau Thermale Avène Specialist for Sensitive Skin- Recommended by dermatologists
     Reasons why the new Cleanance EXPERT products are perfect for individuals suffering from mild to moderate acne?

  • This line is especially made for acne-prone skin, eliminating mild to moderate blemishes. 
  • This acne treatment solution also hydrates and mattifies the skin minimizing shine. 
  • This is safe for use by people with sensitive skin and that makes Avene a trusted brand by doctors and pharmacists.
  • Eau Thermale Avène’s Cleanance EXPERT is specifically formulated using three active ingredients: Diolényl which limits the risk of bacterial proliferation, reduces redness and helps eliminate spots; X-Pressin which reduces blackheads and smoothens the skin’s texture; and Monolaurin which regulates the hyperproduction of sebum to create a matte finish.
  • It’s oil-free light emulsion is very easy to apply. 
  • Quickly absorbed, it leaves the skin feeling hydrated and mattified. 
  • It makes a good make-up base. 
  • Rich in ATSW known for its soothing and anti-irritating properties, it will perfectly respect the balance of your skin.

     The primary ingredient in Eau Thermale Avène product is the thermal spring water. It is the main ingredient that soothes, softens and restores the skin's natural balance. In fact, there more than 300 studies that prove the healing properties of thermal water. This core ingredient has been used for centuries at the Avène Hydrotherapy Center to address even the most severe dermatological conditions like atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, ichthyosis and burns.
Avène Cleanance EXPERT Acne Solution Launch
Avène Thermal Spring Water and Cleanance EXPERT
     During the event, the Avène Cleanance EXPERT team invited a dermatologist to explain further the importance of knowing the right kind of products in treating acne. Dr. Blossom T. Chan of Philippine Dermatological Society explained to us that there are important steps in treating and maintaining an acne free skin. 
Avène Cleanance EXPERT Acne Solution Launch
Dr. Blossom T. Chan of Philippine Dermatological Society
     It is important to use non-comedogenic products like gel cleansing/facial wash which is best for oily/acne prone skin, use an alcohol-free toner to nourish and prep the skin then apply a serum or spot treatment cream to blemishes. The Cleanance skincare line includes the flagship products like Cleansing Gel and Mattifying Toner.
Avène Cleanance EXPERT Acne Solution Launch
L-R: Cleanance Soapless Gel Cleanser 200 ml, Eau  Thermale Thermal Spring Water 50 ml, Cleanance Toner 200 ml, Cleanance EXPERT
     I strongly believe that when a skin care product comes in a set/line- a cleanser/facial wash, toner, cream/serum, it should be used consistently as a whole so that each of the product's ingredients will work hand in hand. In line with this, here's a guide and a ritual on how to use other Avène products in conjunction with the Cleanance EXPERT for an acne-free skin :) 
Avene Cleanance EXPERT Acne Solution Launch
The Avène Thermal Spring Water is a MUST! It works in all skin types and for all ages too!
The Cleanance Experts SRP - Php 985.00 (until December of this year)
 Original price - Php 1, 230.00
     Eau Thermale Avène is available in selected Watsons and Mercury Drug stores. The Avène Thermal Spring Water is a MUST! It works in all skin types and for all ages too!

Product Review: Safeguard DERMA SENSE Facial Cleanser Acne Prone Skin

Monday, June 29, 2015

     For this post, I'm going to share with you my final thoughts on Safeguard Derma Sense for Acne Prone Skin Facial Cleanser. I occasionally suffer from breakouts, one before and after my period and another during summer because of sweat. It is still summer right? It's still hot outside and I'm still busy running errands so sweat, dirt, and other forms of pollution touch my face. There's a time when I feel that a pimple will pop out on my forehead where sweat always runs down.

     Since I've been using Safeguard Derma Sense Facial Cleanser for Acne Prone Skin religiously day and night, the threat of having a new acne has been prevented by this facial cleanser. Recap of my experience before, during, and after 14 days of using this product below. Scroll down to see my honest to goodness review :)

Product Review: Safeguard DERMA SENSE Facial Cleanser Acne Prone Skin
A good skin care regimen will result in acne-free skin. My skin is not perfect but hey, I'm pimple-free :) 
What I like:

  • The price is affordable.
  • It comes in a squeeze tube that dispenses the right amount of product.
  • Can pass as odourless, so if you're like me who has sensitive nose, you will enjoy using this facial cleanser.
  • The product's texture is thick so a little amount goes a long way.
  • Using this product is a breeze, only mild circular strokes and you're done.
  • My skin felt squeaky clean after using the product.
  • I also felt my skin is soft and smooth to touch after use.
  • This product results in healthy, beautiful, and acne-free skin. I've seen that my skin is less oily even though I feel like melting under the heat of the sun. 
  • My skin feels refreshed every time I use this facial cleanser.
  • Most important factor for me is that Safeguard Derma Sense Facial Cleanser for Acne Prone Skin didn't cause breakouts, irritation, allergies, or whatsoever. 
  • This facial cleanser is so gentle not only to the skin but also to my eyes :)
  • No need to  worry about stinging or burning sensation even though it contains salicylic acid.
  • The product is easily available.
  • There's batch, manufacturing, and expiry date printed on the tube.

What I don't like:

  • Doesn't produce a good lather. I guess this is because I'm used to soaps that lathers well. 

Will I repurchase? Yes!

Recommendation:
     I give this facial cleanser a 4.75/5 rating. I'm a bit skeptical on the first week of using the product but after seeing that it prevented acne formation on my forehead, I'm convinced that Safeguard Derma Sense targets the germs that cause acne. I'm also using an effective moisturizer after washing my face together with Safeguard Derma Sense Facial Cleanser so I guess a good skin care regimen will really help in combating those nasty zits.

     Have you tried Safeguard Derma Sense yet? Share your experience below. Safeguard Derma Sense is a must-try product for a clearer and acne-free skin. I highly recommend this product if you're looking for a gentle facial wash but tough on acne-causing germs :)

Product Review: Natura Organics Emergency Ex-Zit Gel

Wednesday, June 10, 2015

     Hello dearies! I will not make a very long introduction to this wonderful product that was sent to me by Natura Organics months ago to try and see if this will make nasty pimple exit or go away. The name of this pimple gel says it all. It's a remedy for this kind of emergency where a pimple or zit is going to pop up a day or two before your big day. It's so frustrating that an angry, reddish, and humongous pimple is threatening to ruin your first date, your photo shoot, or presentation because it wants to show up in your face.


     This is my third pimple spot treatment to date. I don't have flawless skin, I have freckles and I often get a zit or two before, during, and after my monthly period. When I was in college I have this bad habit of pricking those nasty zits on my cheeks and chin where they always pop out if the size is still the same after a week. Thank goodness that pimple gels and pimple spot corrector were invented, no more popping just apply a dot and see the magic work if the brand you have in hand is effective but if not, nothing will happen overnight or after three days. Scroll down to see my experience about Natura Organics Emergency Ex-Zit Gel :)
Product Review: Natura Organics Emergency Ex-Zit Gel
     When it comes to over-the-counter acne products, you end up with a lot of the same ingredients, over and over: benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, witch hazel, charcoal, and (sometimes) retinoids. Yawn. The problem is, acne is caused by a bacterium, P. acnes. Like all bacteria, P. acnes exhibits bacterial resistance. Over time, “only the strongest survive.” Your acne treatment may kill 95% of the bacterial colonies, but a small percentage will mutate and survive. These resilient bacteria will reproduce — which is why effective agents in EMERGENCY EX-ZIT GEL is formulated.

     Below is a proof that Natura Organics Emergency Ex-Zit Gel is an effective pimple spot treatment. I apply this gel thrice or four times a day and after two days, the pimple has subsided then totally healed after four days. All healed. The only problem I have is dark spot cause by the zit. 
Product Review: Natura Organics Emergency Ex-Zit Gel
Before and after photo

What I like:


  • The price is  super affordable for a 20 g of product! 
  • This pimple gel can pass as unscented.
  • There's a plastic lid on top of cover. I accidentally drop this tub and the lid prevented the gel from transferring to the cover.
  • It's gel-type in nature but a bit runny.
  • A little amount goes a long way.
  • There's a minty and cooling sensation once the product is applied on my angry, reddish, and painful zit.
  • Doesn't burn or peel the site where I applied it.
  • This gel reduced the size of my pimple overnight.
  • After 2 days, the pimple has dried up.

What I don't like:


  • The packaging is flimsy.
  • The product is in a container without spatula. It would be great if this product is packaged in a plastic tube with nozzle tip for ease of use since all I need is a spot- dot size amount in treating pimples. I will just use my fingers or cotton buds to spread the product on my pimple/s.
  • No ingredients list printed on the package.
  • No batch, manufacturing, and expiry date.
  • Not easily accessible.

Will I repurchase? Yes! But not for now since I still have a tub to finish but this one is back-up worthy!

Recommendations:
     I give this a 4.5/5 rating. If you're eager to really make your pimple/s gone in less than two days, make sure to use it more than twice a day. Religious application will make heal pimple/s faster. Since I'm always at home I make sure to apply a thin layer three or four times a day. I'm totally surprised when I woke up the next day because swelling, redness, and size of my pimples had been reduced then after two days it's gone already. If there's a sign that a new pimple is coming out, I immediately apply this gel and voila! I can bid my pimples goodbye :D

Do you use spot corrector treatment for your pimple/s? 

Good Times!~

Product Review: ACNE CARE Lactoferrin Anti-Acne Complex

Saturday, January 19, 2013

     Hi dearies, how's your weekend so far? Mine still has the paralyzed lazy body feeling from this cold weather. But there's another factor causing this but I'm still unsure if this is the right time to tell you. I'l just let you know if it's confirmed :) Now back to my post, this is a long overdue review since I already finished 3 bottles of this supplement last year. Our friends from Vida Nutri Science Inc. sent me this product for feature and I was intrigued with the benefits. Who doesn't want a pimple free skin? Since this is an organic supplement I decided to give it a shot and see the significant effect on my pimple prone and blemished skin. Here's a brief description of the supplement. For those who can't find a stock of this product in leading drugstore, you may find one at http://www.cheskasstore.net/

AcneCare Fight Pimples from the Inside Naturally

     Comprises of a proprietary blend that derives a bioactive complex rich Lactoferrin , Linumlife and zinc gluconate. AcneCare is based on milk's many bioactive components with specific physiological effects to support the reduction of blemishes and redness associated with a bad complexion. The most essential mechanisms are the anti-microbial, anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties to help promote a healthy complexion from the inside.


• Clinically proven against Acne.

• Helps you get rid of acne, red spots and blemishes.

• Also works for body acne and adult acne.

• Promotes and maintains healthy skin and clear complexion.


AcneCare contains 3 Anti- Acne Complex:

Lactoferrin- Lactoferrin plays a supportive role in nourishing the skin from the inside through three mechanisms: anti-microbial (enhances the body's natural defenses against bacteria), anti-inflammatory (helps assist reduction in redness associated with a poor complexion), and antioxidant (helps aid the repair of damaged skin cells from blemishes.




LinumLife Complex provides lignans from Flax, a well-recognized group of phytoestrogens with estrogenic and anti-estrogenic action, which helps in the treatment of acne. Produced through a proprietary process, LinumLife Complex is concentrated and provides between 10 to 30 times more lignans than whole flax or other flax ingredients.



Zinc facilitates the production and regulation of about 200 hormones in your body, and one of that is testosterone. It is known that testosterone is one of the main promoters of acne. Intake of zinc may prevent potential hormone imbalances that can lead to outbreaks.


Zinc is also closely involved in protein synthesis and in collagen formation in your body, both of which are essential in the maintenance of healthy skin and in normalizing production of skin oils. Zinc can help heal your blemishes, reduce the inflammation, and reduce the androgenic effect of hormones on your skin.

instruction for use: Take 1 capsule every morning and evening (2 daily) or as directed by a healthcare professional.

ingredients: PER CAPSULE- Lactoferrin 100mg, Linumlife Extra 25mg, Zinc Gluconate 6.4mg

What I like:
  • It's organic.
  • It's odorless.
  • Capsule size is easy to swallow.
  • No negative reactions or whatsoever.
  • During the time I'm taking this supplement, my skin felt soft and smooth and less oily.
  • It helped me lessen my cystic pimples during my period.
What I don't like:
  • The price can be a bit steep for teenagers specially on their adolescence stage because this is the time where breakouts begin. If they will maintain this supplement, it will cost them around 1,800+ for a months supply. I'm sure moms will skip this and let them cure acne breakouts through topical ointments.
Will I repurchase? Yes, it's in the realm of possibility.

Recommendation:
     I give this a 4/5 rating. This is my first time taking an anti acne supplement and I'm impressed even thought it didn't gave me the kinis (smooth) skin that I wanted to achieve. It still helped me though in managing breakouts during my period. The products they sent me are good for 1 and a half month supply so I guess it will take months before I see the maximum result. Maybe taking it religiously for 3 months will totally heal existing blemishes and prevent future breakouts. But if given a chance, I will take this supplement again since this is organic and doesn't contain harmful chemicals. 

     Have you tried taking medicines or supplements to combat acne breakouts or skin imperfections before? Please share your experiences. Thank you so much!!!

Product Review: Celeteque Acne Spot Corrector Gel

Sunday, September 09, 2012

     Hello there loves! Hope you're all doing fine :D I'm excited to make this review because after two weeks of using religiously, I can attest to its effectiveness in combating those painful reddish pimple and dark spots or pimple marks. This is my first spot treatment to date since I just let a pimple or two subside by itself before. I have this bad habit of pricking those nasty zits on my cheeks and chin where they always pop out if the size is still the same after a week. I'm glad that after so many years of just letting pimples to come out of my face before and after my monthly period already found a solution.

     Thanks to Celeteque DermoScience for bringing this product line. Although I haven't tried the Acne Solutions line, I'm sure they will give good results if used consistently. I suffered from acne breakouts last month and I'm considering two spot corrector that time. Since Celeteque is a trusted brand when it comes to skin care that's dermatologist-tested and hypoallergenic, I gave it a try and satisfied with the results. 

      I bought this Celeteque Acne Spot Correcting Gel three weeks ago and applied on existing cystic acne and new ones. Patience is a virtue, I'm not expecting this to make my pimple disappear overnight but in some cases or depending the size it can make a big difference on the size of a pimple after 12 hours. My son accidentally deleted the photo of my angry pimps that I wanted to show you- bummer! But I swear this product works!!! Now here's my take on Acne spot corrector gel, click read more to see my full review.

Celeteque Acne Spot Corrector Gel

What I like:
  • The price- very affordable.
  • Comes in a handy tube that fits in my palm.
  • I can control the amount of product coming out of this nozzle type of tube.
  • A little goes a long way.
  • Has a medicinal smell but tolerable.
  • There's a bit of stinging upon application, an indication that the product is working on the affected area.
  • Doesn't burn or peel the site where I applied it.
  • Reduced the size of my pimple after 12 hours and gone after 2-3 days.
  • Has batch, manufacturing and expiry date stamped on the box and the tube.

What I don't like:
  • Sometimes it's out of stock.

Will I repurchase? Yes! It's back-up worthy :D

Recommendations:
     I give this a 4.5/5 rating. If you have time, use it more than twice a day to speed up the healing process of your zits. Since I'm always at home I make sure to apply a thin layer three or four times a day depending on the size of my pimples. I'm happy that when I wake up the next day it reduced the swelling, redness and size. If there's a sign that a new pimple is coming out, I immediately apply this gel and voila! I can bid my pimples goodbye :D

     Do you use spot corrector treatment for your pimple? Any Celeteque users out there? 

Good Times!~
