I was introduced to this product due to adult acne formation on my cheek and forhead during my initial stage of my pregnancy.
Product:
-It's a leave-on clearing gel with 2% salicylic acid as the active ingredient.
-It dries quickly(clear)
-It's a clear gel with herbal smell.
-Get cooling sensation when you apply it on your face initially
-As the gel dries, you notice the tightening/pullng sensation of skin due to the dried gel. Think if it as a thin/clear filmy mask.
-It comes in a squeeze bottle with twist cap
How to use
-Dermalogica recommends it to be applied on dry face after cleansing, leave on overnight then reinse off in the morning.
How I USE
-Follow the dermalogica direction if yu have a VERY oily, acne pron skin condition.
-If you have few pimples on forhead or cheeks, I apply it on those areas only after cleansing,
-I'll apply all over face (except the eye area) if I feel my skin looks dull or oily
-If I decide to leave it on overnight then I apply it after I put on eye cream around my eye area since your eye area will be dry in the morning with no treatment after cleansing
-I'll put it on before I do house chores then use facial mask(the leave on-essence kind) to give myself a mini facial with no need to spend hours or rubbing and rinsing and etc
After use
-I'm not sure if it's due to hormonal changes or the product, but after using it for a week (about 3-4 nights/week), the acne seem to improve, I was no longer getting new ones. I stopped using it when I was getting into my second trimester still my complexion was clear(this probably is due to my hormone).
-Although I was told to use it nightly b/c the gel is also hydrating by sealing in moisture at the same time I didn't use it nightly since I felt my face wasn't getting enough hydration from it alone
-My face felt refreshed/brightened in the morning after I rinse with just water (you'll notice slimy feeling as the product melts with water)
Verdict
-Great for Very oily, acne skin, even for spot/area treatment
-Great if you need to refresh your skin by mild peeling(salicylic acid) without scrubing, or your face is very hypersensitive to mild scrubs
-Great if you are busy, don't have much time for facial, just want the convenience of putting in on, sleep and rinse and still get the glowy/brightened skin in the morning
