I received this product for free from @hometesterclubuk in exchange for my honest review. Claims: ✹ Effectively removes dirt, impurities and excess oils without stripping the skin of moisture. ✹ Reduces the appearance of blemishes and blackheads. ✹ Helps to eliminate the cause of spots & blemishes. ✹ Gently exfoliates dead skin cells that can clog pores and contribute to blemishes. Verdict: A gentle cleanser that is kind to sensitive skin and lathers really well, leaving your face feeling fresh and clean without loss of moisture as it claims. The texture is really nice and smooth, I love how the clear gel turns into a lavish foam when mixed with water. It comes in a generous size bottle with pump applicator which makes it really easy to dispense even with wet hands. Available from boots for £10 for 236ml which is such a great price! How to use: Use in the morning and night, always apply moisturiser and sunscreen after use in the morning.

I have Acne and I was looking for a product that could help me target the breakouts and help me dey them out. This product did this for me! I was told I meeded to put it in my whole face but I didn’t, I just put it in my breakouts and they were attacked. I usually needed to do this for three nights and it was enough.

Wonderful product for those who have never tried chemical exfoliation-extremely gentle, very mild and unlikely to cause irritation. I expected it to be a slightly viscous liquid, but to my surprise, this was very watery and hydrating. After my first application, I didn't really have very high hopes, I thought I'd have to wait a few weeks to see results, but to my surprise, I noticed that the harder sebaceous filaments(at least I think they were sebaceous filaments?) around my nostrils(where they're most congested) looked a little longer than usual. So I just rubbed them with my finger- and it fell out! It was such a mildly gross but very satisfying experience lol That area of my face has been very smooth and clear ever since, although it hasn't helped with the remaining sebaceous filaments even after two months of regular usage(I use it once a week on my entire face and an extra time just on my T-zone). I also noticed that the very occasional acne I get cleared up almost overnight when I used this, but I should add that acne usually goes away on its own in a day or two on my face, so maybe that was just my face doing its thing. Did not cause any purging. Great value for money, a single bottle is gonna last you a long time.

A Porefectly Clear egy hĂĄmlasztĂł szĂ©rum, ami 2% szalicilsavval hĂĄmlaszt (BHA) Ă©s sarcosine-t is tartalmaz (aminosav), szuperĂŒl szabĂĄlyozza a faggyĂștermelĂ©st, fokozza az anyagcserĂ©t, Ă­gy harcol a mitesszerek Ă©s a tĂĄg pĂłrusok ellen. 🔏 ZsĂ­ros bƑrre kifejezetten jĂł vĂĄlasztĂĄs, rĂĄadĂĄsul Ƒt nyugodtan lehet a nyĂĄri idƑszakban is alkalmazni. (Én ettƑl fĂŒggetlenĂŒl az esti rutinban hasznĂĄlom, de ez egyĂ©ni preferencia kĂ©rdĂ©se.) Egy nagyon Ă©rdekes, kissĂ© gĂ©les, de mĂ©gis hĂ­g ĂĄllaga van, ami azĂ©rt nagyon jĂł, mert felkenĂ©s utĂĄn rögtön beszĂ­vĂłdik, nem hagy ragacsos rĂ©teget, Ă©s kezdƑk is könnyen tudnak vele bĂĄnni. És ha ez mĂ©g nem lenne elĂ©g, egy kozmetikusok ĂĄltal kifejezetten közkedvelt hatĂłanyagot is talĂĄlsz benne; allantoinnal nyugtat. 🔒 ElĂ©rhetƑ online pĂ©ldĂĄul a @skinsmarthu (2 290 Ft) oldalĂĄn vagy offline a @dm_magyarorszag ĂŒzleteiben (2 499 Ft) is.

I’m a big fan of cosrx products, not gonna lie. ______ I’ve been using the COSRX PROPOLIS SYNERGY TONER🐝 since roughly September 2020, so for a while now, though not consistently every day (so many toners to try out!). ______ What initially surprised me about this toner is its consistency. It is far less viscous than expected, given that propolis-containing products tend to be on the richer and thicker side. It feels a bit sticky when you run it through your fingers though, so it isn’t quite as water-like as a first treatment essence. ______ The Propolis Synergy TonerđŸŒ» is alcohol-, essential oil- and fragrance-free, which will make many of you very happy to hear. ______ I tend to use this toner in the mornings due to its light feel on the skin and the fact that it so smoothly glides onto the skin, playing well with any skincare or makeup products that follow in the routine. ______ 🔆To sum up This is a great, gentle toner for a variety of skin types, from dehydrated to acne-prone and oily, since it delivers hydration without overpowering the skin. . The propolis and honey🐝 extract can support a damaged skin barrier, plus help with redness and potentially even scarring from healed breakouts.

Clear watery texture in a 40 ml glass bottle with dropper. No significant smell. It’s lightweight and fast absorb. There is a bit of stickiness after application but none after fully absorb. I use 2-3 drops after toner focusing on my nose and chin (mostly area with pores). Packaging is quite simple yet informative. I like that it mentions concern and benefit đŸ‘ŒđŸ» Main ingredients: ✹ Niacinamide 20% đŸ€ Zinc PCA 1% What I love about this product is how fast this serum show improvement! 😍 It claims to tighten pores as well but mostly I felt that it controls sebum production. Best combined with Pore Minimizing 21 Cream to help improve appearance of pores. I use this at night, 2-3 times a week since high concentration of Niacinamide make some area of my skin dry. But overall no redness or rash at all. To help with dryness, I added hydrating serum and cream. After using this at night, I woke up feeling very light with controlled excess sebum. Some blemish and acne scars also faded. I have combination to oily skin type and have been struggling with excess sebum and genetic large pores which is why this product become one of my holygrail ♄ Highly recommended!

I feel like I'm hiding in a cave for just trying this last week đŸ€Ł (my first pimple patch) Idk where I get the impression that this does not work, and I never bothered to look for this. But last week, I decided to try this because I'm having a stubborn acnes around my forehead. And impressed and surprised that it sucked out gunk out of my pimple. It does work! It is pimple-size friendly and do not descriminate lol, big or small, this pimple patch has the size for it 💜

‱ Niacinamide serum from Geek&Gorgeous. B-Bomb is suitable for oily, combination skin, with enlarged pores and blemishes. Composed of 10% niacinamide, it helps minimize enlarged pores, strengthens the skin's protective barrier, and reduces hyperpigmentation. It is a serum with a light watery texture which is very well absorbed by the skin and hydrates it. Cruelty free, vegan, without fragrances and essential oils, gluten free. I have used twice a day, in the morning and evening routine. Always apply to clean skin and then apply other products, it should not be mixed with pure Vitamin C because it can cause skin irritation. ‱ My experience. The first two days that I started to apply it, I felt a slight sting in my skin, but I did not have any irritation such as itching or redness. After a few weeks, I started to see a change in the pores, which have been sufficiently minimized and some acne marks have started to fade. As a combination skin, now in the winter I don't have very oily skin, but in the T zone I always need to use niacinamide and I never separate it from my routine.
