I have been battling acne for as long as i remember and i have used SOOOO many products and none seemed to work. I decided to give my face a break and i did a lot of research on what really works and how they work. I decided this will be way better than going to walmart and picking random products up hoping they work. I followed this regime and i still follow it daily and all the nasty acne of my face cleared. If probab
ly have one pimple on my face every 2 weeks. I have never been so happy, i know how frustrating it is to have acne but don't worry, i have a solution also, exercise PATIENCE. Nothing works overnight
Here are the products:Retin A:
Retin A worked like a charm. It is the main reason why i don't break out anymore. Retin a works by speeding up cell turnover and rapidly exfoliating the skin. It surfaces clogged follicles in the skin (acne) so for the first few weeks of using retin a, the acne beneath the skin will be very visible thus, you will break out really bad but don't worry it will clear up. AND DON'T POP THEM. I made this mistake because i was not sure why my face broke out so much and after about 3 weeks EVERYTHING cleared and i have not had any major break out since then. Like i stated maybe one pimple every 2 weeks!! I would advise starting with a lower strength like 0.05% if you have sensitive skin. I jumped to 0.1% the first time i used it because i do not have sensitive skin. Can be purchased at www.alldaychemist.com
Clarisonic:
To keep the face dirt free i use the clarisonic pro. Its a great product and i use it every day in the shower. Instead of washing my face with a sponge i use the clarisonic instead. I bought the deep pore cleansing brush head to go with it and right after using this product, my face feels squeaky clean. It is indeed amazing. It also helps the product we use absorb faster so it is a plus at night when i use it with my gluta c face cream (which i will discuss), so that the gluta c can penetrate deeper into my skin. I got mine on ebay for $190 and it came with 2 additional brushes.
Bioclaire soap:
I use this soap everyday on my face and a little goes a long way because it is really foamy. I use it because i am trying to get rid of the black spots post acne and it is gradually fading them. It contains all natural products like kojic acid, lemon, and bearberry extract. This can be bought online on www.guesso.com
Gluta c:
A facial lightening cream that is really affordable and contains glutathione, kojic acid, arbutin, vitamin c and retinol. All these ingredients are safe and work well to fade dark spots. I try to lighten my dark spots and just like the bioclaire soap, gluta c is gradually doing the job. This cream should only be used at night because it contains retinol which can darken the face when exposed to sunlight. Its sold on www.funkymommy.net
My journey:
I try to follow this regime morning and night but i am not doing such a great job at it. :'(. So far, i have gotten rid of acne by using the retin a and i keep the acne away by using my clarisonic every morning but i have not been using the gluta c cream regularly i will resume tonight and try my best to continue with it every night.
