I've been using the CETAPHIL cleanser for a month now. I use it 2x every day- every morning after I wake up and before I go to sleep.
Good points:
-gentle and non-irritable
-leaves my skin feeling pretty clean
-no smell
-does not strip my skin dry
Bad points:
-does not remove my makeup properly even after double cleansing
-it does not really do anything for my spots (I don't think it has a big role in the improvement of my skin :/ )Rating: 3/5
2) Moisturiser:
Been using this AVEENO skin relief moisturising lotion with methanol for a month. I use it every time immediately after washing my face so moisture is locked in right away.
Good points:
-does what it says :) keeps my skin
moistourised throughout the day!
-not sticky
-not oily at all
-cooling effect on my face
-reduces itchiness
-good to use as a base for makeup
-good amount of product
Bad points:
-the smell is not that strong but not everyone's preference I guess (faint wheat+mint smell)
Rating: 5/5 !!
3) Spot treatment:
I have been using the EPIDUO GEL for more than 2 months. I put it on active spots or places where I feel like a spot is gonna come, every night after washing my face and moisturising.
Good points:
-dries active white head spots
-decreases the size of cystic spots
-reduces redness
-quick results (~day after applying)
-contains both adapalene and benzoly peroxide
which are both very effective ingredients for
spot treatment
Bad points:
-dryness causes flakiness
-PRESCRIPTION required (in the UK, unless you order online)
-pretty small container+product
-says you only need a pea size at a time -_- but I need more than that
-doesn't work well under makeup
Rating: 4/5
4) Lip care (Dry lips!):
I have always loved using CARMEX lip balm for my dry lips. I have been using it for a very long time (on and off). At the moment I use it everyday before going to bed and in the morning after I wash and moisturise my face. If my lips feel dry during the day I put some more on.
Good points:
-small size, so easy to travel with
-cheap to buy
-works very well for long periods of time
-variety of flavours
-variety of packaging (sticks, pots or squeezies)
-has SPF 15 which is great
-good amount of product
Bad points:
-squeezy type melts in hot weather, so I recommend the sticks if you live in a hot country
-tingling sensation at first (may be painful to some, so try a small amount first)
5) Sun protection:
I have been using TheFaceShop clean face oil free sun cream for about 6 months. The best sun cream I've used so far! It is a korean branded product so it is less available here in the UK :(( but you can order it online or if you live in Asia or a country where there are korean shops you can buy them there :)
Good points:
-non sticky and non oily
-comes out white but after you put it on your face
it warms up and does not look white at all
-good to wear under makeup
-feels light
-nice clean smell
-contains tea tree oil and aloe vera gel
(good for spots)
Bad points:
-kinda shows off my back heads more when I'm not wearing makeup with it
-kinda small sized
Rating: 4.5/5
I am soon going to be trying out products to remove my acne scars so I am excited for that! I hope I helped, ask any questions if you want!!
Thanks for reading~ xxx
