Pharmacy Favourites For May (Acne-Prone and Combination Skin)


LA ROCHE-POSAY EFFACLAR


I heard about LA ROCHE-POSAY  EFFACLAR FOAMING GEL via word of mouth so i decided to give it a try. The only negative i was told about this product is that it tends to leave the skin dry after washing and drying the face and that is true. Nonetheless, the product itself leaves your skin feeling clean, free from impurities and clean away any excess sebum. 

Sebum is a naturally caused substance that is produce by essential components of a healthy skin. To help keep sebum under control is to moisturise and protect the skin.  This Foaming Gel contains soothing and anti-irritating La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water with active dermatological ingredients.

The gel helps clean blocked pores and anything that may cause imperfection to the skin. Men and woman can also use it. I use this Foaming Gel in the mornings, just by wetting my hands, squeezing a tiny bit and work it into the face in a circular motion and at nights the same thing. I would recommend that you use both the gel and anti-mark corrector together.


LA ROCHE-POSAY EFFACLAR DUO [+]



I always wanted to get rid of old acne scars, and redness on my face, this helps me with that to refine my skin texture and unclog my pores. Its very suitable for acne-prone and sensitive skin.

I apply EFFACLAR DUO  all over my face in the mornings right after I wash my face with the foaming gel and it works like a moisturiser, so you can definitely apply your make-up on top of it. I recently started to use it at nights when i realized that my scars are slowly clearing up. 


N0 7 PROTECT & PREFECT ADVANCE SERUM


I saw this Protect & Perfect ADVANCE Serum on an AD on television and in magazines highly recommended as a pharmacy buy. So, I wanted to give it a shot. It says on the box that it will start showing improvement with your wrinkles in two weeks and that it did. If you're wondering what the hell! Why is this young girl using wrinkle serum so early! Its just because I have major smile lines on the outer corner of my mouth and it's very obvious especially when I wear Make-up, the cease around my mouth go on display, which is hideous and i hate it. 

Anyway, now i try to smile a bit less and pout more. This product really works and the longer you use it the more you'll see results. There are Four different ranges of No7 Perfect Skincare for every age EARLY DEFENCE for ages 20-35, Protect & Prefect Intense ADVANCE for ages 30-45, Lift & Luminate for ages 45 and over and Restore & Renew for ages 60 and over also comes in two different sizes 30ml and 50ml.

You should only use this product if you want to get rid of wrinkles and fine lines on your face or on your neck. You can get these products at Boots and only at Boots because Boots themselves made N07 . If you're living in the States i believe you can get it at Walgreens i believe. It also has salicylic acid in its ingredients that helps treat acne. I would definitely recommend this product now that I've used it. 

I use this product every night just before bed after applying my EFFACLAR DUO. You can use this serum during the day just ensure to apply your moisturiser first, serum after and sunscreen last. I leave it to saturate on the face for at least 5-8mins before using my ESTEE LAUDER ADVANCE NIGHT REPAIR and moisturiser. If you didn't see my Cleanser and Serum Post click HERE



N0 7 BEAUTIFUL SKIN PORE VACUUM MASK


Looking at this dark green thing inside this tube in Boots on the shelf, It made me say how earthy............ it must be good! Right before I left the pharmacy I asked the sale rep for a sample just to test it to see if it works. My problem was  and still is the size of the tube. Its way to small especially when you have to use a generous amount on the skin.

I was a bit heavy handed when I first used it but now I got the hang of it and I use just the right amount on my problem areas, which is my T-zone and cheeks. I try to stay away from getting the  mask on my eyebrows and hairlines but where there is unwanted hair like on top of my lips I will spread it there just to get rid of those ones. It feels like waxing when you're about to peel it off. Not to scare you, but it does hurt a bit. Over time the more you do it , the more you'll be comfortable peeling it off without any fear.

This Mask gets rid of white and black heads and clean unblocked pores. I swear it sucks everything out that it grabs on to. Leaving the skin feeling free of the muck that was on it.
I use this once per week after washing my face with my Foaming gel on dry skin.

Let the mask sit on your face for 10mins or until its completely dried then eel the mask upward or outwards off the skin.

If you have dry skin i advice you not to use this mask............
