My Be The Skin BHA+Pore Zero Line review âš
[PR/Gifted] đThank you Picky and Be The Skin for sending me the BHA + Pore Zero line in exchange for my honest review!
I am so excited to have been able to try the whole line and give you guys my honest review! See my review for each of the products below:
BHA+Pore Zero Tonerđ±:
Star đ« ingredients: 85% Naturally derived Salix Alba (willow) bark water, Salicylic acid, citric acid
Product claimsđ¶: Gentle toner that calms irritated skin and gets rid of excess sebum and dead skin cells to clear your pores.
My experienceđ: I was initially a bit skeptical and scared to use the product as it had alcohol in the ingredients list quite high up, and alcohol doesnât play well with my dry and sensitive skin, but I gave this a go in the name of a good review anyway! It has a light and watery texture, so I added a generous amount to a cotton pad and swiped it across my skin, concentrating on the breakouts around my forehead and chin. Surprisingly, I found the toner quite hydrating and soothing. It definitely didnât sting my skin and didnât trigger my eczema either! I would stick to using this as part of my nighttime routine and top it up with layers of hydrating essence/toner, such as my Hada Labo Premium Gokyujun lotion. What really impressed me was their packaging: itâs a sturdy bottle that feels luxurious to the touch, and the luxury style packaging carries out throughout their entire BHA+Pore Zero line.
BHA + Pore Zero SerumđȘŽ:
Star đ« ingredients: Salix Alba (willow) bark water, Glycolic acid, Citric acid, Chlorophyllin-Copper complex, Madecassoside, Asiaticoside
Product claimsđ¶: Soothes skin and clears clogged pores
My experienceđ: Firstly, the colour is beautiful! Itâs a gorgeous green coloured serum and, once again, has luxurious packaging! Itâs a fairly thick serum, so I dispensed a full dropper on to my palm and massaged it into my face right after the toner step. It didnât give me any tingling or stinging and felt a bit hydrating. I used it in place of my Mandelic Acid serum at night since it has both AHA and BHA to exfoliate. Did it help with my breakouts? Hard to say. Definitely not over the course of four consecutive nights. But perhaps if I used this for longer I would see more definite results.
BHA+Pore Zero Foam Cleanser:
Star đ« ingredients: Willow-BHAâą and the patented green fruit (shine muscat, green papaya, green apple, blue plum) ingredients
Product claimsđ¶: Daily soothing cleanser, packed with Willow-BHAâą and the patented green fruit (shine muscat, green papaya, green apple, blue plum) ingredients, that declogs pores.
My experienceđ: First impression was that the very strong fragrance smells like my fatherâs old aftershave. Seriously, the scent lingers and itâs a bit off-putting. But the creamy, rich texture of the cleanser almost makes up for it! It almost feels like Iâm applying shower cream on my face, because the lather is so rich and creamy. Unfortunately, when I wash the cleanser off it leaves my dry and dehydrated skin with the classic âtight and over-cleansedâ feeling that has me sprinting to my room to get some toner on my skin. For someone with oiler skin, this would be perfect!
BHA+Dark Spot Zero Cream:
Star đ« ingredients: Niacinamide, Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Water,Illicium Verum (Anise) Fruit Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Retinyl Palmitate, Tocopherol, Tranexamic Acid, Panthenol, 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate, Polyglutamic Acid, Ascorbyl Glucoside, Zinc PCA, Ethyl Hexanediol, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Copper Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Oligopeptide-1, Oligopeptide-2, Methionine, Cysteine, Madecassoside, Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid, Madecassic Acid, Biotin,
Product claimsđ¶: dual-function brightening and wrinkle-improvement cream that intensively cares for dark spots and wrinkles. Packed with Willow-BHAâą, tranexamic acid and natural vitamins
My experienceđ: Can I just say, WHAT AN AMAZING INGREDIENTS LIST!! This is probably my favourite product of the entire line! Itâs packed with such effective ingredients and itâs super hydrating on my dry skin as well. Its scent is by far super light, but it does have fragrance, unfortunately. I started using this as a spot correct as per the name but then I had a genius moment and swapped my night cream for this bad boy, and let me tell you: I woke up GLOWING the next morning! This has a permanent spot in my routine from now on and I would definitely purchase a new one when this runs out.
Overall pick: BHA+Dark Spot Zero Cream
Consđ©: The whole line is scented. My experience would have been so much better without the added fragrance, especially for a line that is focused on soothing and exfoliating. Also, removing the alcohol from the toner would have made me give it a better review, but alas!
