IOPE TROUBLE CLINIC TREATMENT ESSENCE REVIEW

Disregard that foundation stain on the box lol

I bought this essence about 2-3 months ago from SASA.com. I was desperate for a good essence which can also be used as a spot treatment so I searched  the worldwide web~. I found this product which happens to be on SASA and it was on sale I think. I remember paying $39 for this thing.

nozzle pump

Front

Back {korean}

PACKAGING: Sophisticated as usual since it is IOPE. The container's kind of heavy though--idk if it's glass but DEF not plastic LOL. The con is that I can't see the product inside [4/5] 

ONE FULL PUMP

AFTER SPREAD

VISCOSITY: It has a gel like consistency. pretty thick.

What it CLAIMS to do: 
-Trouble skin protection
-Soothing and intensive relief

AFTER USING IT FOR 1 MONTH: [I applied it every night on my face] the instruction says that you apply it on the spots but sometimes I apply it all over face.

The product is pretty strong--when I first applied it on my face it kind of stung. Eventually my skin got used to it though.

EFFECTIVENESS: Nope, didn't really ANY difference thus I stopped using it.Then again, I dont suffer from mild acne-i guess it'll work for that. Moderate-Severe NOPE. Nada didn't work or I guess it was too much for my skin. I thought it would at least reduce the inflammation but nah it was just there--- nothing.  I sometimes even thought it's the cause of my breakouts but idk. [1/5]


REPURCHASE: LOL, definitely not. There goes my $40 bye money

Advil Gel Pills for Acne?!

Yeah you read it right! Advil gel pills for acne??? WOW.
I was pretty surprised myself too! Who would've thought that these pain relievers can help acne?!?!?

I'm really desperate to find a spot treatment since TTO stopped working a long time ago. I guess my skin became immune to it? Sad. Anyways, I saw this on the internet and decided to give it a try since I already had Advil Liqui-Gels at home.

So basically the gel is the key to reducing inflammation.
YOU WILL NEED:
Advil Liqui-gels, scissors, a small plate/container to put the liquid gel in

WHAT I DO:
1) I take a pill and cut it in half with a pair of scissors. Yep, not the best idea but really nothing came out when I used a safety pin/needle.

2) I cut it in half and yes it spews! The other half of the pill literally went across the sink (where I  to cut it).

3) I let the pills stand on the pain/container with the open side sticking on the plate--so all the liquid gel inside will pour out.

4) With a clean finger I dab it on the gel thingy and apply it to my many many many spots CRIES.

Since I only started doing this yesterday--it is EFFECTIVE. When I woke up my pimples were dry! (I only applied it on a few spots first to see the reaction).  BUT IT WILL STING AT FIRST! Definitely reduced the swelling as well. Thus, I applied more after I showered today and I can already feel it drying up.

Some people wash it off after 20 mins. I decided to leave it overnight.


However, I know for sure that this isn't going to help my severe acne so I decided to do intensive research on what works for majority of people.
I CAME ACROSS ACNE FREE
I decided to buy the acne free 24 hour system of course the severe one!
Unfortunately, they don't sell it in Canada so I had to buy it on ebay ): which is going to take TIME to arrive gahhhHHhHhHhH!H!!!HH!H!! 
I hope it works as soon as it arrives lol. I AM SO DESPERATE ITS SO TIRING TO HAVE ACNE UGH ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE TRIED ALMOST EVERYTHING!

Btw, I am still using CLO. I think my body got used to it now.

[CLO Journey] DAY 11 (or 12)

SO I'M STILL BREAKING OUT --WHITEHEADS UGH.

I have been consistently taking a pill daily. I'm not sure as how Cod Liver Oil works in terms of dosage. I just read the label on the pill container which clearly says "take one daily" and ofc im following that.

I have also done my research and tbh, detailed info about Cod liver oil concerning moderate-severe acne isn't available. I've read reviews but it's either the person didn't update nor it didn't really help with my current situation. Several people stopped when they started breaking out.

Unfortunately, my forehead started breaking out as well. DUDE. It has been clear for months. I know I don't really break out there anymore besides my period time, otherwise nah. AND THEYRE CYSTIC! OMG.
TBH, I'm not sure if it's the facial cleanser I used yesterday which is Mamonde's sebum control foam

I actually bought the tiniest (30 mL) version of this one a few  months ago. I remember it didnt work too well with my skin so i stopped-- idk why I bothered reintroducing it. THIS COULD BE THE CULPRIT. BUT I WILL COMPLETELY STOP.

ANYWAYS, My face is TERRIBLE. HONESTLY MY FACE HAS NEVER BEEN THIS BAD--ITS SO SEVERE I HAVE A HUGE RED DRY PATCH WITH WHITEHEADS ON BOTH OF MY CHEEKS. PLUS MY FOREHEAD HAS 3 HUGE ASS CYSTIC ONES. I have been also sleeping really late--but I have always slept late so Im pretty sure thats not the issue.

So far, Im not having a good time with CLO

If you're going to test this make sure you dont have any big event bc trust me if you have acne prone sensitive skin like I do it aint gonna work out. 

I HOPE THIS WILL ONLY LAST FOR 2 WEEKS PLS.



BUT INITIAL BREAKOUT MAYBE??? UGH
SELF-ESTEEM: NEGATIVE 18787878

[CLO Journey] DAY 7 (or 8?)

SO MANY WHITEHEADS OMG.

My acne worsened for sure. Before I started taking this the left side of my face was clear and so was my forehead. Well, not anymore. The whiteheads are real. and they hurt A LOT! I have also developed cystic acne on my jawline.

In short, my face hurts a lot. like damn. this better be what they call an initial breakout. I swear if this goes on for 2 weeks I am done.

Oh and it's also kind of drying?

I am also putting myself in social confinement until this gives me desirable results. B/c honestly, its bringing my self-esteem down by 1000000000000000000 times.

Cod Liver Oil for acne

Dermatologists are out of the question for me. Last time I went they prescribed me Retin A and that didnt work out after generously using it for 6 months.(Ive been also prescribed a lot of things in the past)
My skin cleared up during Feb-March b/c of this local chinese product called BL CREAM (you can google it for further information). All I know is that it is MADE for skin rash and whatnot--not specifically for acne--THEREFORE, prolonged usage of this cream is a NO-NO.

I used it irregularly from Jan-March then somehow it stopped working--so I was back with this awful breakouts--may it be cystic whiteheads you name it. I was so frustrated!

Anyways, I would apply tea tree oil to keep it at bay--still okay.
However, at the end of August to September my skin just went BERSERK!
I blame it on myself for not thoroughly cleansing my face eversince I have used the Double Wear. Plus I have also introduced A TON of products to my face.
I'm starting to think that the rosehip oil is  a culprit.

ANYWAYS, I decided to plunge into the CLO community. LOL. Cod Liver Oil. Yes.
CLO is known for its high dosage of Vitamin A and D which are good for your skin. And I have also read from somewhere that Accutane also contain a high amount of Vitamin A {?} .
So I bought this from my local drugmart store.



I have done a lot of research before getting it. I have read that it was a holy grail for majority and just didn't work out for some.

I started taking this on the 28th or 29th of september--One pill daily. IT IS A HUGE PILL OMG.

SO FAR I am breaking out. Mostly whiteheads--and some cystic. After almost a week of taking it I have decided that I will not put ANYTHING on my face--nope not even moisturizer.
TASTE I honestly dont taste the fish unless a burp a minutes later lol

I'm thinking that this is the initial breakout. I will keep this blog updated about it.
