淨痘精華
I have normal/dehydrated skin prone to inflammation and hyperpigmentation. At this point I'm used to being covered with dark spots the tenacity of which surprises even aestheticians. The outer layer of my skin is also very strong despite being thin and transparent (I realized I have to leave AHA longer that recommended for it to work, then I tried Derma E glycolic toner to add daily AHA and literally felt nothing, etc etc). I think I figured out my hormonal breakouts - adding extra zinc and iodine supplements on top of a good multivitamin with resveratrol really cleared those painful red bumps that leave dark spots behind. I was so happy because all I was getting reduced to an occasional small plain pimple (which is caused by external factors). Fast forward to this summer's heat wave. Active sebum production, sweaty workouts and what not. Given the durability (sad laugh) of my skin, it all quickly collects under the surface, into bumps/clogged pores/whiteheads. Which in turn are potential inflammations. Now I got a few healing pimples and lots of texture. This product is definitely an active treatment rather than a moisturizer. But after buying it I can understand the confusion since it is very creamy and siliconey smooth, and a tube holds 40ml. I really like this consistency because you can layer it on spots that need it and it will stay there. The pointed "nose" applicator also helps (it's a like bb-cream tube). It does burn, especially on first application, but only in areas that burn often for me - around nose and under eye (just washing off sunscreen makes the area around my nose burn all the time, I think it's because my nose is runny all year long). Luckily these are not the areas I need this product to work with, so I avoid them. I "draw" lines and dots on problem areas, massage them into skin and repeat where needed.
