CLO [Cod Liver Oil] update!

After the dreadful journey I had with CLO I called it quits.
I basically stopped taking it every single day. I have started taking it irregularly--whenever I feel like it.

RESULTS:
After continuously taking it for 3 weeks my face FINALLY calmed down. I stopped getting more pimples but the painful old ones were still there. When I stopped taking it the old ones finally died down. However, I am left with bad scarring I'm contemplating on whether I should take it again or nah.

WELL so far I am not taking it anymore and I haven't had any major breakouts just tiny hormonal ones which I can handle.

Now I'm looking for a product that would get rid of my acne scars~


STAY SWEET x

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.
