From Clinique to ProActiv..!!

03/08/12

OK, so Katy Perry and Gabriella from Made in Chelsea apparently benefit from using ProActiv, but does it really work??

For years I have always been a Clinique girl. I've never had naturally clear skin but it's never been too bad. Being a perfectionist means I need PERFECT skin!!

Clinique's anti-blemish skin care has worked for me for a long time, however, recently my skin has been breaking out. Wierdly in the same places - the RIGHT side of my face on my cheek and a few on my forehead.. Wierd.

So.. my skin care regime until now is:


Clinique's anti-blemish soap for face and body
Dermalogica daily microfoliant (LOVE this)
Clinique anti-blemish clarifying lotion
Clinique face creams - I mix these up
Clinique take the day off make up remover
Clinique 7 Day scrub cream
Soap and Glory face mask (this is amazing)

I also throw a few other things in the mix from time to time, but generally the above is routine.

So.. I've decided to swap all this for Proactiv


It includes a cleanser, toner, day cream night cream and a face mask.

1st night:

Cleanser: I was surprised that this cleanser is actually exfoliating. Its like a scrub. Seems a little harsh for your skin twice a day, but I guess you need to dry out your skin to get rid of spots!! It smelt nice and you dont need to use much of it. BE CAREFUL THOUGH.. I got some in my eye; that STUNG!! lol

Toner: This was like a normal toner, just wipe on with cotton wool.

Repairing night lotion: This did not feel moisturising!! I'm getting a bit worried that this skin care regime is gonna really really dry out my skin!! This smelt nice too though.

I'm gonna give it two weeks and see if I notice a difference in my skin's appearance!!
