I am absolutely obsessed with the FARMACY Deep Sweep 2% BHA Pore Cleansing Toner! I previously struggled a lot with blackheads on my nose and breakouts, particularly on my chin and cheeks. Formulated with 2% BHA (Salicylic Acid), this toner evens out my skin's tone, reduces breakouts and speeds up the healing process when I do get the occasional blemish.I have super sensitive skin and was worried about using toner, as I thought it would sting or dry out my skin. However, FAMARCY'S formula is non-stripping and never leaves my skin feeling tight. Instead, my skin feels nourished and looks super glowy - great for that on-trend glass skin look! I apply this around 3 times a week after double cleansing, and have definitely seen such a huge difference since I started using this!Holly
The CeraVe Smoothing Cleanser has absolutely transformed my skin. The formula isn’t too harsh or drying on my sensitive skin but effectively has smoothed out the bumpy texture on my skin caused by whiteheads. Since using the cleanser, the bigger blemishes around my chin and jaw area have significantly decreased and new ones are much smaller. The gel formula foams up when massaged into the skin and a little goes a long way without compromising on effectiveness.Sophie
My favourite product for combatting blemishes has to be the Elizabeth Arden Retinol Ceramide Capsules. I love that the product mixes the active ingredient retinol with hydrating and soothing ceramides, this makes it perfect for anyone with sensitive skin or is introducing retinol into their routine for the first time. It leaves my skin feeling smooth and hydrated.
Retinol, also known as vitamin A, is a powerful antioxidant that increases cell renewal. Among its many other benefits, retinol helps unclog congested pores and so prevents future breakouts! And the ceramides help keep acne at bay by regulating oil and sebum production!After cleansing, I simply apply 1 capsule all over my face and neck. Make sure when you use this you don't use any more actives on your face at the same time.
