I have started getting terrible acne on my upper back and shoulders. Thinking it’s time to switch to a body wash dedicated to acne, as my normal cleanser isn’t cutting it anymore.

Any recommendations?

Best body acne wash?

My only complaint with this primer is that it takes awhile to fully dry and absorb into the skin. Normally, I wait about 5 minutes between applying primer and makeup with no issues. However, this caused my makeup to slide unless I patted on my foundation and didnt do a lot of blending - producing undesirable results.

The next time I used this I waited about 15 minutes before applying my foundation and it glided on perfectly with no problems and a gorgeous result!

It also shot out of the bottle at a surprising speed and distance so the first time I used it in didn’t end up on my fingertips, but in the middle of my fingers which isn’t ideal for application but after some trial and error I’ve perfected the dispensing process.

I was a little doubtful on the claims of this product because I’ve tried so many pore reducing primers with no success. I have large pores and any attempt at minimizing them  have always failed but I have to say I am VERY impressed with my results after trying touch in SOL’s No PoreBlem Hybrid Primer!

First off, the smell is amazing! As soon as I pumped it out onto my fingers I was met with the sweetest, most amazing fragrance. 

I was a little concerned about the color of the primer and thought it might make my skin look lighter, but after blending it in it turned transparent and did not change my skintone at all.

It felt light and airy after applying and left my skin feeling velvety soft and incredibly smooth. I love the matte effect! Other primers make my face appear shiny and with my oily skin it seems to almost slide or melt off - but not when using this! 

Before I even applied my makeup I could see the reduction in my pore size and have even used this alone, with no makeup, on the days I want to go natural. It really does make a difference in my skin texture!


After first use I noticed my face felt slightly greasy but realized this may be due to using too much product. Instructions said to apply generously but I think I went overboard! I used less the next few applications- problem solved! A little does go a long way! This jar will last me quite awhile before I run out.


I love that this is 2-in-1 and contains SPF 25 - knocking another product out of my daily skincare routine.

This moisturizer is nice and thick - no cream dropping from your fingers or dripping down your face. Despite this, it felt extremely lightweight on my face and left my skin feeling smooth.

It does have a pleasant perfumed fragrance to it which wasn’t overwhelming to me, but lasted for hours after the application. This may not be ideal for someone who in sensitive to scents or uses multiple scented products - but I didn’t mind.

I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a moisturizer that contains sun protection and is not sensitive to fragrances!



 honestly it’s just not the product for me.

Although my face felt very soft afterwards, it didn’t feel as clean as I had hoped. Also, within 10 minutes of use I felt a slight irritation on my face. I was worried I was going to have a reaction or break out - but it eventually subsided. 

Unfortunately, I wouldn’t use this again as I don’t think the ingredients are suited to my skin.

I recently tested my free sample of shu uemura ultime8 cleansing oil.
Having oily skin, I’m always skeptical of oil based cleansers but heard great things about this so I figured it was worth a shot.
This had a nice scent, a light lather and the sample came with enough cleanser to use multiple times.
