Skinceuticals Phyto Corrective Gel, Banish Blotches

May 14, 2019March 27, 2012 by Alison

Skinceuticals Phyto Corrective Gel is formulated to tackle the redness, blotchy patches and discoloration that results from acne breakouts. It is a light, oil free product with botanical extracts to soothe even the most sensitive of skins.

Many people suffer from acne at some stage in their lives and unfortunately getting rid of pimples themselves is only part of the process. It is extremely common to be left with scarring, discolored patches and red blotches, due to the bacteria that has been present in the pores and the trauma suffered to the skin during the pimple removal process.

Regular acne treatment products are rarely created to deal with this aspect of problem skin.

How This Gel Works

Its botanical extracts have anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties to bring relief to irritated skin

It contains glycosides, which are a natural alternative to hydroquinone and help to lighten discolored patches of skin

How To Apply Phyto Corrective Gel

Apply the gel twice a day.
Place a very small amount on a clean fingertip and dot it onto any discolored spots.
As well as the face, you can apply it to your neck, arms, per chest and the backs of your hands.
Apply your usual moisturizer.

Currently available from Amazon in the UK and the US at a good discount, although the phyto corrective gel is still not cheap – but if it works for you it could be the best money you have ever spent on your complexion! Many testers of this product witnessed a significant difference in the redness on their skin after a few weeks of applying this product twice daily.

How does it work?

The technology uses light and heat energy to stop pimples in their tracks. The light energy goes straight into the pore to get rid of bacteria. At the same time, the heat reduces inflammation and minimises redness.

The company claims that 81% of pimples will disappear within 24 hours after using this no no skin product (which is FDA approved). But what do testers really think of it, and are they happy to pay the price for it? Let’s find out!

Miracle Care Pimple Eraser Review

May 14, 2019March 5, 2012 by Alison

Have you heard people talking about a pimple eraser and wondered what it is? Well, read on to find out! This is an innovative skin care product that is suitable for both men and women, and all skin types.

It is recommended to treat acne, scarring, uneven skin tone, whiteheads, blackheads, open pores, wrinkles, fine lines and ingrown hairs – in short, anything you do not like about your complexion!

The Pimple Eraser from Miracle Care is one such product that claims to do all of the above, quickly, easily and without any unwanted side effects. The company claims that the glycolic formula gets rid of existing acne and prevent any future breakouts from appearing. Glycolic acid is considered to be the most effective ingredient derived from sugar cane, which helps to get rid of dead skin cells.

Another plus point from using this product is that using it stimulates collagen and elastin growth in the skin, helping skin to start looking younger and feeling firmer.

How To Use The Pimple Eraser

Cleanse your skin thoroughly.
Turn the bottle upside down and press the padded end against your skin to release the liquid.
Rub the eraser over your whole face and neck, avoiding the delicate eye area. Make sure you cover the entire surface of your skin with an even application. Do not rinse it off.
Apply each night. Slowly increase to two applications per day and continue as required.
Men should apply the Pimple Eraser after shaving, in place of their regular aftershave. This product will help with ingrown hairs and pimples after shaving too.

TOP TIP: You must use a sunscreen whilst using this product. Glycolic Acid will make your skin more sensitive to sunlight so wear an effective, oil free sunscreen on all the areas you have treated. The manufacturers recommend an SPF of 25-30

Pimple Treatment With Oxy Cleansing Pads

May 14, 2019February 26, 2012 by Alison

If you want effective pimple treatment without the fuss, Oxy Cleansing Pads would be a great product for you to try. The Oxy patented formula gets deep into the pores to tackle blackheads and other pimples at their starting point. They are not only simple to use, they are also really effective. The marketing for this product may be targeted at teenage boys, but the pads have an even bigger fan base amongst men and women in their twenties and thirties who love the product because it is truly, fuss-free!

How to use Oxy Pads

Oxy Maximum Daily Cleansing Pads are so simple to use. You just take a pad out of the pot and gently wipe your face with it to remove all dirt, oil and bacteria. You can see exactly how much grime has been removed (you may need to use more than one pad, depending on how much makeup you have on and how dirty your face is). Splash your face with warm water, pat it dry with a clean, soft towel, then finish off with your usual moisturiser.

The active ingredient in this pimple treatment product is salicylic acid, which gives it great acne fighting powers. However this potent ingredient is known to dry out the skin, so make sure you do not forget to use an effective, non comedogenic moisturizer afterwards. If you do find it to be excessively drying, it may be a good idea to limit your use to once every few days.

If you are desperate to get rid of your pimple breakouts and stop new pimples from appearing, you can probably live with a little dryness. What else do you need to know about this product? The best way to find out the truth is by looking at the reviews of other consumers. We have done this for you, and here are the results!

Home Remedy For Pimples Without The Mess

May 14, 2019February 19, 2012 by Alison

The problem with a lot of the home remedy for pimples suggestions I have tried, is that they are often both time-consuming and messy. There is certainly no shortage of ‘recipes’ and tips online! However, some of these work better than others!

So, whilst people want to use natural ingredients on their skin wherever possible, many poeople are put off trying homemade treatments because they do not have time or cannot be bothered with the mess!

Skin care companies are aware of both these factors, and they are keen to take advantage, by offering a pimple treatment that contains all natural ingredients, is easy to use and affordable.

One of these over the counter home remedy for pimples treatments is Clear Face Turmeric Cream. The key ingredient is turmeric, which has been used for hundreds of years across Asia and India to get rid of spots and other facial blemishes.

Turmeric is also known as the “wonder herb”, which is unsurprising as it has many anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-bacterial properties. This cream is made with only certified organic ingredients; in actual fact this cream from Passport To Organics, is the very first face cream in the USA to use certified organic turmeric.

Extract from Amazon Customer Review

“I bought this cream because I had been reading about the benefits of turmeric. This cream made my skin soft and cleared up any blemishes within 2 weeks. I love that this is a natural turmeric cream and does not contain the harmful chemicals other turmeric creams have… I had read that the smell of some turmeric creams was not good but this scent is great! It is relaxing and soothing, with hints of lavender”

How to apply Clear Face Turmeric Cream

Cleanse your face and pat dry with a soft, clean face cloth.
Make sure your hands are clean.
Apply the cream to your face and neck with your fingertips, using a gentle touch.
Apply every morning and evening.
Avoid contact with your eyes.

Because this product is completely natural, it should be stored below 80f. For a refreshing, thick consistency, store it in your refrigerator.

As well as turmeric, this product contains certified organic aloe vera, rooibos tea, coconut oil and lavender – all considered to be excellent for skin health. It is enhanced with jojoba oil, olive oil, Vitamin E and neem oil. This combination makes it superb for clearing skin, without clogging the pores.

Top Tip: If you love this cream, you will also like the Clear Face Turmeric Cream Cleanser which is paraben free and organic.

If you really, really love this product, you could treat yourself to the set which contains the cream, the cleanser and Turmeric serum at a discounted price for the package!
