AcneFree.. Literally!


So in my previous post I talked about ProActiv and how it didn't completely work for me. I still got the occasional pimple that looked like the size of Texas on my face. One pimple was just bad enough to get me locking myself in my house. If I had to go out in public I would end up looking down at my feet while I was walking, which wasn't a good idea since looking down at my feet gave me neck cramps and made me dizzy.

However, one lucky day while my mother was shopping at Giant Eagle, she found an inexpensive acne kit that claimed it was 2 times more effective than ProActiv. Given that the kit was only $10, it wouldn't have hurt to buy and try it. And so I did. Within a week of using AcneFree, my face had complete cleared up. I couldn't believe it nor did my mom.
AcneFree is my choice of product, which has a similar set up as ProActiv. It was so effective that my friend's boyfriend at the time, (who's acne was far worse than mine back then) also started using it. The best part was it was inexpensive and you did not have to order it online or by the phone. It is conveniently place at your local grocery store or drug store.

My favorite product of the kit is the Repair Lotion. This is the miracle worker of the whole kit. If I feel as if a pimple is getting ready to appear, I just dab a little bit of the Repair Lotion and mask it over the little bump right before I go to bed. By next morning the minor bump which could've been potentially a massive pimple is gone. What is left is a smooth, bump-free, pimple-free skin.

The only downside of this product is the toner. I'm not a big fan of AcneFree's toner because I don't believe it does anything. When I put it on I feel as though I'm just putting scented water on my face. So if you plan on buying this product try buying a separate toner.

Next topic... Shellsea commented on under eye dark circles.. so stay tuned and get reviews on products that claim to get rid of them.. or do they?

I've tried a lot of different products too and I've finally settled on Wexler. Even using other products I had to find a light moisturizer to keep my skin from getting too dry, so even if you use another product for acne or cleansing, I recommend using the Wexler tinted moisturizer. Kind of works like a light foundation, but moisturizes your skin and works well to set powder without clogging your pores.
