FIRST AND FOREMOST: My skin is TERRIBLE .What I'm saying is, I'm not one of those people who has minor acne problems like NO. Mine is pretty major . My family doctor recommended me to go on Accutane, but my dermatologist said NO LOL . Thus, I have never been and I am not on Accutane (Although somedays I wish I was). So here it goes.
BTW I HAVE TRIED TONS. I MEAN TOOOOOOOOONS OF PRODUCTS.
1) Ciracle Anti-Blemish Teatree Wash
This is my facial cleanser. I just recently got this (about a week ago) and so far it's OK. It's not a "WOW OMG HoLY GRaIL!!11~~" CLICK HERE to read more about what it "claims" to do.
As for my experience: It's been kind of drying my skin like I have been literally peeling but I am strongly assuming its because I am also on Retin-A Micro as well--which is drying af! anyways, THERE IS A SCENT to it obviously tea scent lol. It does foam up (when you rub your palms).
I like using it so far.
Since I have started using this--it has MINIMIZED my cystic breakouts! :)
RATING: 8.5/10
2) Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion
I have been using this Moisturizer for about 2 years and I LOVE IT. It does moisturize my face and does not cause any breakouts! I have been repurchasing it. And NOPE it does NOT break me out!
( I have been using this less since I got the Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer)
RATING: 9.5/10
3) Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer SPF 15
The reason I bought this is because of its SPF 15! I got this during the summer since I really needed a moisturizer that had SPF in it. I have been switching with my #2 and this one. If I need some hardcore moisturizer I use my #2 one since I think it is more moisturizing! However, I do use this MORE than #2 because of its SPF . But when I go out during the night time I do use #2 ! It does not really break me out, Although, I'm NOT THAT SURE yet... Hmm.
RATING: 8/10
4) Eskinol Papaya Smooth White Facial Deep Cleanser (With Pure Papaya Extract)
The funny thing is.. I do not use this for my face at all. LOL , I use it for my neck--to remove the make up (Since I do put powder there). Although, sometimes I do use it on my face to see if there are any left over make up which the face wash did not completely remove (If I know I used a million pounds of foundation). Other than that--It claims to WHITEN the skin and I think it has whitened my neck LOL, I have been using this forever like 2-3 years--because it's my mom's holy grail (She constantly repurchases these so we always have it at home) The reason why I dont often use this on my face is b/c it has alcohol properties ):
RATING: 8/10
5) Retin-A Micro 0.04
Now, THIS IS my ACNE MEDICATION. My derma said that my face is just bombarded with different kinds of acne scarring (NAME ALL OF THEM--THEY'RE ON MAH FACE!). So he said this is gonna do the trick. I've been using this since the 16th of August so for about 2 months...THE FIRST MONTH AND A HALF WAS HORRIFYING--I was breaking out like CRAZY...It was scary and I was often depressed. I will make a post dedicated to this medication. But for now it is part of my routine (I put it on before I got to bed)
RATING: N/A (Since Im supposed to use it for AT LEAST 3-4 months to see solid results!)
6) Aveeno Baby Eczema Care
Yeah thats right this product is for babies. I only use this around my eyes since theyre not as strong as the regular ones! YES i do get hardcore dry patchy skin around my eyes and you know what I also have Blepharitis! UGH IKR FML. Blepharitis is basically the intense drying of the eyelids. so i just dab this cream onto my lids and yea. It does moisture. But doesnt last very long.
RATING: 7/10
This routine is BY FAR the one that works out for me. It'll probably change sooner or later (it always does). If it does I'll update you guys!
