Retin A Micro: ROUND 2?

I was prescribed with Retin A Micro by a doctor (not a dermatologist). Apparently she took accutane a whiiiile ago and it helped with her severe acne. She said that she had to take it twice (2 rounds)--and that she has been using retin-a  ever since. 

However, in my case, I was actually prescribed Retin A in August 2013 and started using it since. 

I used it consistently for about 4 months and I did not notice any drastic improvement. My derma said that it'll get worse before it gets better for about 3 weeks. It did not. Boohoo. So I stopped after 4 months. And did not go back to the derma since then.

Until now.

I visited a different derma this time. He seemed okay--meh. He kind of examined my skin and I told him about my situation with the previous medications I have taken/done.
Thus, he prescribed me doxycycline and ziana. Antibiotic and a topical Gel. I asked if maybe I should go on accutane but he was like let's try this one first.
I have done my research and this medication is either a hit or miss--like any other medication really.

I'm contemplating whether I should actually try this or just go back to the Retin A and see if it actually works this time. Maybe who knows. 

Ugh lol.

Banish Acne Scars : Vitamin C Beauty Elixir Review

So I decided to give the BANISH line which is founded by one of the beauty youtubers I watch: Perfect Beauty or with the username: daiserz89

Banish Acne Scars is made for--well stating the obvious--banishing acne scars. BANISH. DIMINISH. GET RID OF

PS: Getting rid of my acne scars is my currently MY GOAL IN LIFE!

Funny story, I actually bought this thinking that it was the Vitamin C serum???//? HAHA. My fault. I thought it was a serum that I could just Spray, whenever wherever! Silly me. It's an elixir. I obviously has a lighter viscosity compared to a serum!

I bought this on their website for about CAD $25.00 with the shipping and tax and all

I was too scared to actually try the Banish Kit which they sell for US $69.00 PLUS it was too expensive because with tax all that extra stuff it totals up to CAD $102.00 D A M N.

SCENT: Smells herby? like a mix of all these ingredients. Definitely smells natural. I don't smell any alcohol whatsoever.

RESULTS:
Vitamin C. VITAMIN C. Hmmm. I remember buying a bottle of vitamin C serum which was from OST. My face did not react to it nicely. I got a few tiny pimples. So I stopped for a while and resumed but got the same outcome. So I completely stopped.
So I think the same thing is happening to me with this product?
IT'S SO SAD SO UNFORTUNATE!
I read reviews about this and I really wanted it to work!!!! REALLY BADLY!
However, the reaction is not as bad...they're just really tiny bumps and they're few. But I stopped using it on a daily basis and maybe use it once or twice a month?

But when I do spray, I spray as many times as I want LOL Quenchin' the thirst of mah face!!`!~!

spray nozzle! YAY FOR SPRAYS/PUMPS

COST: Pretty affordable. Says $15.00 on their website.

REPURCHASE: Hmmmm. Maybe not.

Well, I'm thinking of getting their kit now. HmMmM.





STAY SWEET x

Holy Grail: Bioderma Sensibio Makeup Remover Review

I'm currently on my third bottle!

I have been extremely busy with school, which is why I haven't been able to update since Dec 2014! (WOW). However, I am ready to review Bioderma's Sensibio Makeup Remover! This cleanser/remover has been raved about by several beauty gurus may they be blogger or youtubers!
Thus, I decided to give it a try!

BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE--FOR MY SKIN.

I remember buying this around December of 2014. It's not like I was looking for a new cleanser I just felt like trying it out, so I bought the 250 mL one for CAD 23.00 (with tax). I started using it since.
I religiously applied it on my face. Day and Night.
I would apply it after washing my face in the morning and also after washing my face at the end of the day. Keep in mind that I don't use this alone as a makeup remover since I heavy foundations.
I use it after actually washing my face with Ciracle's Anti Blemish Tea Tree Wash  and with Sephora's Precision Pore Cleansing Pad.
Basically, this product acts as a toner. Yep, I completely stopped using a toner since I started using this.

SCENT: Has a certain fragrance to it and it's pleasant.

RESULTS: 
I have been using it for 3 months and I am so happy with the results. 
I put it on cotton balls ( I used about 3-5 cotton balls until my face is clean).
It has definitely calmed down my regular acne flare up.
It has minimized my cystic breakouts--which I am truly happy about.
My skin tone has definitely improved.
It also made my skin soft.
I have also noticed an improved on the texture of my face!
Ever since I started using this product my skin just improved in general. I stopped getting clusters of cystic pimples. 
Of course I still breakout. This product is not meant to stop acne at all, it is a cleanser after all. However, they're the manageable ones--the ones that would go away a few days later.
I do still get occasional cystic pimples but not horrendous or terrible as before (remembers the CLO and Rosehip oil days -SHUDDERS-)

HAHA Here's some of my used cottonballs with bioderma and the icky remaining makeup on my face -ew-

COST: Of course, it's a high end skincare line so it's pretty expensive. 250 mL: CAD 23.00 , 500 mL - CAD 31.00 ( both with taxes)

REPURCHASE: YES I WOULD KEEP REPURCHASING THIS BABY.




stay sweet xo!
