Product Review: ACNE CARE Lactoferrin Anti-Acne Complex

     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.

price: 885 php (Around $21.00+)

place bought: free 

Available at all leading Mercury Drug, Watsons and Southstar Drugstore

Also available at  http://www.cheskasstore.net/

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: Quick FX Pimple Eraser

     Hi dearies! Today I want to share my thoughts on this cheap and effective product that I dared to try hoping that it will help me lighten up dark marks on my face caused by pimples. I saw this at Watson's months ago and I'm a bit skeptical if this product will work. Whenever I shop for my toiletries, my eyes were glued on this but I always resists the urge thinking that it will not work because it's cheap and never heard of the brand before. If I'm not mistaken, I attempted to put this on my shopping basket more than five times and when I'm going to pay for it, I will just leave it on the counter or inside my shopping basket thinking that it's just a waste of money if I'll purchase it. 

     So when my skin was acting up last month, I decided to take extra care of it by adding spot treatments. I searched for a zit zapper and I found a good one here. Pimples will leave a mark or post pigmentation that will eventually lighten up on it's own but it will take more than a month or longer depending on our skin's ability to regenerate. But for some individuals like me who have fair skin, this dark marks or blemishes look very unsightly. I can use a concealer to hide those marks and a heavy duty concealer that is pretty expensive will do the job. Since I'm a cheapskate, I'll look for another alternative. 

Quick FX Pimple Eraser
helps dry up pimples, helps diminish and reduce dark spots due to scarring, helps protect the skin against the sun

     I have no choice but to brave myself and try this Quick FX pimple eraser that I've been tempting to buy at Watsons long time ago. Well, I think my curiosity paid off :D Even if I'm thinking of the worst (negative reaction of my skin to the product) during my first application, my fingers were crossed and I patiently waited for the result. I can't assure you that this product works 100% but at least, I saw some changes and still hoping that it will lighten my blemishes more after using it for a longer period of time.  

• With Glycolic Acid that rejuvenates and evens out skin tone. It also clears pores by removing old and dead skin, exposing healthy skin cells underneath.
• With Salicylic Acid that helps prevent and treat pimples. It also clears out blemishes, fine lines, and dark spots.
• With Zinc Oxide that helps control inflammations and relieves the skin against irritation and rash. It also helps provide superior protection against the harmful rays of the sun.
• With Vitamin C that helps protect against UVB rays and can help combat sun damage. It also decreases wrinkles and lightens pigmented skin.

Quick FX Pimple Eraser
Thick consistency so a little goes a long way.

size: 10g

price: 49.75 php (Around $1.00+)

place bought: Watsons Sm Fairview

instructions for use: Gently apply on the area affected by pimples. Apply two times a day, morning and night.

ingredients: Aqua, Mineral Oil, Cetearyl Alcohol (and) Ceteareth-20, Zinc Oxide, Isopropyl Myristate, Stearic Acid, Glycerin, Glyceryl Stearate, Butyrospermum Parkii, Cyclopentasiloxane, Glycolic Acid, Niacinamide, Methylisothiazolinone and Chlorphenesin, Salicylic Acid, Ethyl Ascorbic Acid.

What I like:

• The price is a steal! It's cheap compared to other whitening spot treatment in the market.
• Unscented.
• No allergic reaction, breakouts or whatsoever.
• A little goes a long way.
• Contains 5 active ingredients that perform different function to combat skin imperfections.
• I noticed that some pimple marks lightened after three weeks of religious application.
• There's a bit of peeling on the newly dried pimple and post acne scar.
• Batch, manufacturing and expiration date is stamped on the packaging.

What I don't like:

• The packaging- you have to transfer the product to a small pot container. I think it's more convenient to use if they place the product in a tube-type container.
• Takes a little time and effort to absorb. 

Will I repurchase? Yes!

Recommendation:

     I give this a 4.25 4.75/5 rating. I use this together with Celeteque Acne Spot Corrector Gel and with patience of applying both product day and night, I can say that there's an improvement on the size and intensity of blemishes and dark spots on my face. This cream does not produce significant results overnight so be patient and apply it religiously. If you have spare time, you can apply the product more than twice like what I do to speed up the lightening process. Make sure you do a patch test before applying the product. It contains mineral oil so to those allergic to it just skip this.

     Do you use spot treatment cream to lighten pimple marks? Thanks for sharing!

Good Times!~

Feature: AcneCare Anti-Acne Complex

     Acne also called pimples or zits is the most common skin problem that teenagers experience during adolescence. I considered myself lucky during this stage because I'm one of those few who had clear and smooth skin. I always say to myself that my skin will remain blemish free because I never suffered from those red, swollen and painful zits during teen years but boy oh boy I'm wrong! My clear and smooth skin vanished when I reached my late 20's and I always complain on adult acne. I tried so many topical ointments from creams, gels and serums which only gave temporary results. Some are effective but it takes a lot of time, money and effort to see maximum results. I guess the treatment should not only focus on the outer layer of our skin. There should be an extra boosts from within. 

     Who doesn't want smooth and clear skin? Many of us have tried different treatments to achieve healthy skin and clear complexion. What if you tried everything and still see the same problem again and again? Now is the time to take another step in combating skin imperfections and it should start from within. Let me introduce to you this Anti-Acne Complex called AcneCare which contain natural ingredients in combating acne related problems.

Product Review: Celeteque Acne Spot Corrector Gel

     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.
