I get monthly hormonal breakouts along my jaw. This treatment works best for me on the Deep cystic acne I get. I love this spot treatment so much. It shrinks the breakout down considerably in 24hours.
The treatment sits in the bottle in two layers, the liquid on top and the pink calamine powder/mud at the bottom. So without shaking or disturbing the layers, I dip a cotton swab into the two layers. Then apply the mixture to clean, dry exfoliated skin. The pink mud dries down and soaks up excess oil from the breakout.
It’s made a huge difference to the healing time. It feels like it flattens it the cycstic breakouts in no time. Instead of it remaining there for a week or two, the healing time is cut in half. I’m on my third bottle and I’m impatiently waiting for a new one to arrive in the mail. (The liquid can sting a little, but it’s not bad. It also does smell of sulphur, but it’s efficacy is worth all of it to me. Oh! And I don’t find it’s overly drying, if I use it only once per day)

I got a deluxe sample of this cream from Sephora, strange thing though, does anyone’s else notice their deluxe samples work better/differently than their full sized products? I’ve had the same experience with a few products like that.
The sample brightened my skin, plumped it up visibly and it’s something you can feel. It’s light, non-greasy and it absorbs really well. It also exfoliates really well (enzymes). My skin is really smooth and bright, even as a water cream my combo skin feels hydrated. It didn’t cause breakout like the Tatcha water moisturizer did.

With VIB rouge I got a deluxe bottle of this clearing treatment. I tend to get hormonal break outs on my chin. Some of them rather deep and painful/annoying.
I use this in that area, I find a little goes a long way. Only a thin layer is needed. It smells minty and it dries down from a dark grey to a light grey. You can see the areas that have excess oil. This mud mask shrinks my breakouts down considerably by the next day. They go from hard angry breakouts down to something flatter and less visable. The healing time is cut down! I dont find my skin is overly dry afterwards either.
Very helpful product! I will repurchase once this bottle and foil packets run out!

As with all new products for me, this all started with a deluxe Sephora sample. After the sample bottle ran out, I immediately purchased the full sized bottle.
I loved it. The pump dispenses a small amount, it’s very concentrated so a lot isn’t needed. The amount dispenser covers my face and down my neck. It feels and looks luxurious, it contains small micro flecks of 23kt gold.
After cleansing and exfoliating I apply Shiseido power infusing concentrate, which I feel preps my skin for serums and it also helps my serum spread further. The Tatcha serum plumps my skin visibly and I can also feel it. My face also looks a lot brighter. I love tapping it into my under eyes first then spread it down my cheeks and then my chin and forehead, since as we age we lose volume there first. To get the most out of it, I let the serum sit for 10mins before I apply other products/moisturizers.
If you use too much it will dry down sticky and I’ve found it would also cause my make up to pill. So I wouldn’t over use it, the $110 price tag is a little intimidating but the pump doesn’t over dispense and the bottle has lasted me quite awhile. Don’t forget to shake the bottle before each use. I also use a moisturizer on top of it, I find with haylauronic acid the BEST results are seen when moisturizer is applied afterwards.
I love Tatcha, their “Essence” also works wonders before their serum. Wet skin soaks up product better.

Lancer The Method: Polish

I love this polish, it’s very effective. First time use, you can actually feel dead skin ball up under your finger tips.
This product doesn’t use exfoliating bead, it’s a very fine grained/even kind of crystal. It’s not harsh or sharp. So it hasn’t caused damage, since it is so fine. I’ve tried another product of similar use, which used crushed shells, it felt too abrasive and damaging.
This gentle polish cleared away dead skin, leaving my face and neck with smoother and brighter skin. I think my serums/mask/moisturizers are more effective on exfoliated skin. I’ve repurchase twice and gifted a set to another person. So I do love it

Fresh Sugar Lip Serum Advanced Therapy

Since I neared 30, I got really into skin care. The skin on our lips is the thinnest on our body. I loved serums for my face so this lip serum made sense.
I exfoliate well with Lushs sugar lip scrub (the best I’ve found!) then I apply a dab to my upper and lower lip- during the day; at night I apply a bit to the outer perimeter of my lips as well.
My lips plump up quite nicely. It also adds volume to my outer lip. Some days my lips are very full, some days it’s subtle. If I use the Sugar advanced therapy lip balm (package change, they used to sell it in a pot, now it’s a stick) I get the best results using both products together.
The pump on the full sized bottle dispenses far too much product. If I only as much as I need, the bottle does last a good year. I think I will be buying the serum again, the lip balm maybe. I wish they didn’t change the packaging.

I recieved a couple of samples from Sephora. After exfoliating and cleansing, I apply this to my under eyes and smile lines on clean unmoisturized/dry skin. I let it sit for 10 minutes while drying my hair, after it’s dried and sunk in I apply my serum and moisturizers. It works the best under moisturizers!! Very important. It instantly fills and plumps the areas of my face I’ve applied it to. I’m 31 and it takes years of my face, as we age we lose volume in our face/cheeks which does age us. Some people mistake me for a teenager after using this mask lol. The effects do wear off, I find it lasts a good 1.5-2 days. Then I just reapply it. I love this “mask” I think I’ll always keep a jar on hand. Here’s in Canada the $110 price tag is a little steep but I find I need very little to see the effects, so the jar does last quite awhile. My face also appears a little brighter afterwards. -
