Skinetica Anti-Blemish Treatment

This post is well over due, I've been using the product featured for a good couple of months now so I can be sure to give you a good review on the product. I'm getting bored telling you regular readers this but if you're a newby then this is for you.. I have blemish prone skin and am still on 'that hunt', I haven't found 'it' yet but I'm finding products which help an awful lot along the way and here's one of them.

Skinetica was kind enough to send me this large bottle (80ml) and also a small sample bottle (15ml), which I have already used and recycled so that's why it is not pictured above. So in just over 2 months I have used up my small bottle and got about 1/4 left in the larger bottle, although due to having 2 houses I just leave this at one so I'll be honest and say I do not use this twice a day everyday, which is what Skinetica recommends.

"Skinetica is a genuine product that actually does what it says on the bottle!

A unique new solution that clears unsightly breakouts with visible improvements in 2-3 days.

• No harsh chemicals
• No side effects
• Kind to skin
• Dermatologically tested
• Non-toxic, non-staining and non-greasy"

The information above was taken from the Skinetica website and what they claim the product to do and I have to say I agree. There are no harsh chemicals included just 4 simple ingredients and I have had absolutely no side effects to the product which is a bonus obviously. There is a slight smell to the product but nothing that stays on your face or too strong which is nice.

It's simply just a lovely product to use, I've been using it under my make up in the morning and then again before I go to bed and I can say I've seen an improvement. I literally just wet the cotton pad with the product and wipe it all over my face and then let it air dry which only takes a few moments. It claims that you can see improvements in 2-3 days which I agree with, although my spots may not completely disappear within that time I can definitely see an improvement in things such as size and redness on the spots I already had on my face before using this.

Overall I would definitely re-purchase this when my current bottle runs out as I now don't think my skin care routine would survive without it! I definitely recommend everyone with a skin type like mine to give it a go! Skinetica are actually doing free samples at the moment from their website and all you have to do is sign up and pay a £1 shipping fee which you cannot complain about! You can visit their website here

I'd love to know if you picked up a sample from Skinetica and your thoughts on the product or if you've already tried and tested it what you feelings were about it :) Leave me a comment below xo

Review: Freederm Overnight Clearing Serum

You know me, here I am again with another skin care product to help with those pesky blemishes that we all suffer from (unless you're super duper lucky). If you didn't know already then I am always keeping my eye out for new skin care products that help keep my skin calm and as spot free as possible. The search seems never ending and although I've found some lovely products I still don't believe that I have found THE product that solves all my problems. So hence why my search continues...

Recently in all the magazines scattered across the staff room table I had seen endless adverts for this particular product. I had searched the internet, my local Boots and Superdrug stores but nothing. Until one day when I had pretty much forgotten about it, I went to my sisters local Superdrug and found it! And it was also on offer, yes it's the Freederm Overnight Clearing Serum. I believe the original price for this is around £7, when I picked it up it was around £4 so a bargain.

I've been using this religiously now ever since I purchased it around 3 weeks ago now and have absolutely been loving it. It claims to 'help reduce spot size and restore healthy skin texture while visibly reducing redness' and it works whilst you sleep. So I've been keeping this on my bedside table and been applying it just before I doze off. It also says for best results apply in small light upward motions so that's what I've been doing and I can say that I have noticed a difference in my skin.

The consistency of this product isn't thick, but can take a few moments so settle into the skin so there's no applying and then losing your head in the pillow straight away but it doesn't take too long. There is a pump which is always a winner so there's no over doing the amount you need for your face. It feels moisturising on the skin and unlike most other blemish products it doesn't make your skin feel tight. The first night I used this I remember getting up the next morning and heading straight for the mirror to see the results and I was pleasantly surprised! The spots I had had reduced in size and the redness had nearly completely disappeared. As much as a spot is just a pain in the back side to begin with I find the redness the hardest part to then cover up and venture out of my bedroom (unless you have a mahusive zit that's just not workable) so the fact that this really helped with redness I was pretty much instantly in love.

I've been using this for around 3 weeks now every night and I can say that I still love it. I also find that some blemish products start off working amazingly and then after many uses it drops and they just seem to not work anymore. But this product doesn't have that and, although this product doesn't stop spots from appearing, when they decide to pop up I know that night at least the redness of the spot will go down.

I definitely recommend this product and all others within the Freederm range as they are aimed at blemish prone skin and have some other amazing products! And I believe I will definitely be repurchasing this product in the future :)
