Hi Everyone,
I hope your enjoying the school is about to end and it's finals week. Meaning stress levels just went up and through the roof. Blemishes start to pop out and amongst other things. Today I will be reviewing the rapid clear 2 in 1 fight and fade gel from Neutrogena. I ran out of my clinique spot treatment and didn't have time to go to the mall. I just dropped by my local CVS and grabbed this spot treatment.
Product Claims:
Product Expereince:
This like any spot treatments comes in a nice tube you get about 5 g of product. This particular brand uses salicylic acid as the main ingredients. The products comes in a clear plastic tube and the product itself has clear orange tint to it. What I do is after I have finished with my skin care routine I placed my moisturizer on I just dab some of this product on my blemishes. It's supposed to contains glycolic acid , to lighten the spot after it has healed. I also noticed that this product stings and if you place this under your moisturizer it can break down your moisturizer.
Pros:
Inexpensive and widely available
Uses salicylic acid instead of benzoyl peroxide
comes in a clear plastic tube
Cons:
The product stings!!!! when placed on your blemish
Breaks down moisturizers, place this on top of your moisturizer or let the product dry first before using your moisturizer.
I should have known better for whatever reason salicylic acid doesn't work well on me compared to benzoyl peroxide. I have stopped using this product because it just didn't work for me. I didn't notice any of my post acne spots lightening.

CLEANSER review: Oil free Acne Stress Control POWER-GEL CLEANSER
Hi everyone,
For some other reason or not I have been suffering from stress acne. Stress acne are the one that is deep underneath your skin. Bumps that is red and painful and leaves a lot of hyperpigmentation. My usual skin care routine wasn't helping much at all. So I figured I needed a much stronger cleanser preferably with benzoly peroxide. I couldn't find one at the drugstore and was even contemplating on getting pro-active. I didn't feel like waiting for my order and decided I should try Neutrogena stress acne wash. My skin and Neutrogena did not get a long. As much as I liked the acne formulation of Neutrogena it severely dries out my skin. Super dry skin means inflammation and inflammation leads to more oil production and more oil production leads to more possibility of developing more acne. Acne that I am trying to get rid off in the first and continues the vicious cycle. Sigh.
I'm currently testing this product out, I know I can't use this on a daily basis. The neutrogena line of face wash just dries my skin out. I will use it a few times a week and see if I get any results.
Product claims:
Product expereince:
What you get is a clear gel cleanser with a hint of green color in a clear plastic bottle with a pump. You get 6 fl oz or 177 ml for $7.49. To use pump a little of this cleanser on to my silicone scrubber and gently scrub my face. This cleanser is a little hard to wash off, I feel that some residue being left behind because my skin feels very slick, but this product does not dry out my skin as much as other Neutrogena products I have used in the past. I use this product every other day or third day alternating with my rosehip black soap. I will say that the active ingredients in this product is salisylic acid, I was looking for benzoyle for active ingredients but I think most drugstore acne systems has reformulated their products.
Pros:
A very gentle cleanser, compared to other neutrogena cleansers
Contains salisylic acid to combat acne
Widely available at drugstores, target and walmart
Price very inexpensive
Cons:
A little difficult to rinse off
Can be drying if used on a daily basis
I like this product, this works well with my skin regimen. I love that this didn't dry out my skin like previous products I have tried from neutrogena. For some reason this doesn't do anything for my break out. I can't use this product on a daily basis since it still dries my skin.
