Feature: AcneCare Soap

     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. AcneCare Soap is one of the addition to AcneCare's anti-acne products that was released last year. 

     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

     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

     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.

     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.

     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.

     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 :)

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

Ways on How to Take Care of Your Skin

     With the cold weather, it is so much fun to layer clothes. Are there styles and outfits that you’ve always wanted to wear, but could not because it was too hot? You can now rock that pullover and boots. However, there is something we wear that will always be in no matter what season; our skin. This is why you need to take extra care to make sure you’ll maintain a radiant, healthy, and glowing skin all year round!

     Not everyone is blessed with the genetics of perfect skin. Different skin types come with different problems, but we can classify them into three common types.

1. Oily Skin

• Oily skin tends to have large pores, and blemishes such as pimples or blackheads. 
• Oiliness can be caused by puberty, other hormonal imbalances, or stress. 
• To take care of oily skin, avoid over-washing your face. 
• Cleansing twice a day is advisable. 
• Use a gentle cleanser to prevent irritating your skin as abrasive scrubs can open the pores and further expose them to more pollutants in the environment.

2. Normal Skin

• Normal skin has a good balance of moisture, small pores, and an even tone. 
• This is the goal of most skincare regimens, and most people have this skin type. 
• But in order to maintain it in good condition, you need to minimize its exposure to the sun and follow a proper skin care regimen.

3. Combination Skin

• Combination skin can have dry or normal areas along with oily parts such as the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin). 
• This skin type can produce overly dilated pores, blackheads, and a shiny surface. 
• Resolve these issues by using a gentle cleanser, applying a toner to repair skin, protecting it from sun damage, exfoliating to remove built-up skin cells, spot-treating, and using products loaded with antioxidants which help keep your skin clear and healthy.

     The key to having clear and healthy skin is to have a reliable skincare system. White Result White and Clear, the newest skincare treatment for normal to oily skin types, fights acne and excess oil production, corrects skin blemishes, inhibits melanin production, and keeps your skin fair and young looking! The White and Clear System includes the Facial Foam, Facial Toner, Moisturizer with Sunscreen, and Spot Corrector.

Ways on How to Take Care of Your Skin
White Result White and Clear Line

     Dermatologically tested, safe, and proven to clear acne and blemishes, each product is specifically formulated with Acne Buster, a multi-complex agent with 10 active ingredients that effectively fight acne and excess oil production; Papaya and Pea extract, which are effective whitening ingredients that inhibit melanin production; and Niacimide, a multifunctional B3 complex vitamin that helps reduce skin pigmentation and age spots as well as reviving and hydrating skin, leaving it supple and young-looking.

     Whether your skin type is oily, normal, or a combination of both, White Result White and Clear from Tupperware Brands will give you clear and blemish-free skin. Just remember to cleanse, tone, moisturize, and treat your body’s greatest feature, and we guarantee that you’ll look your best for your next glowing radiant moment!

Product Review: Safeguard DERMA SENSE Facial Cleanser Acne Prone Skin

     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 :)
