I've been using the ProActiv 3 step system for like 10 years now. Started in high school when my acne was horrible and I felt like I tried every acne treatment out there to no avail. It was more expensive back actually then than it is now but I'm glad I decided to take the plunge and give it a try! I use it morning & night and when I first started using it the 3 month supply now lasted me just that, but now it lasts me 5-6 months so I don't need to use as much anymore. I still get small breakouts here and there but they are hormone related so I don't think any topical treatment would be stopping those! I love the refining mask, it takes 10 minutes though so I don't use it as often as I should but when I do it leaves my skin feeling wonderful.
I say if you're battling acne, take the plunge & give it a try! It doesn't work for everybody (what skin product does? especially one that fight acne) but if it works for you, you'll be glad you did.
Tips: I buy it from Showcase, not online from ProActiv where it's shipped to you every 3 months, so I can buy it as I need it.
Use a white towel to dry your face (I've had it stain some of my towels)
If you find it drying out your skin, cut down the amount you use and then cut down to using it at night only

*Received product through ChickAdvisors Product Review club*
I was very intrigued about this micellar water being able to remove make up AND cleanse. As a makeup remover, I found it took off my foundation fairly well but didn't work so well on mascara and eye liner. As a cleanser, well I have acne prone skin and I didn't feel like it was cleansing my skin enough to not cause a break out so I still used my face cloths (cut them in half though) and cleanser. I don't find it has ANY smell and it has never felt "soapy" on my skin. The price is decent for the size of bottle, especially since I've been using it every night and it's not going down real fast. Undecided whether I will buy it though.

*Received product from ChickAdvisors Product Review club*
Enjoying using this moisturizer from Garnier! I haven't been using it all over my face, just sticking to the areas that have been having extra dry issues this winter and it is definitely curing those areas. Haven't noticed the brightening aspect of it though. I have acne prone skin and it has not clogged my pores so that is definitely a bonus! It does have a bit of a smell but it isn't overpowering, I quite like it actually. The pump is a good feature. The price threw me off at first but once I started using it I realized a little goes a long way so the bottle will last a long time. However, mostly because of the price, I am still undecided whether or not I will buy it once it runs out.

McCain Superfries Crinkle Cut
McCains crinkle cut super fries are my go to fries! They cook nice in the toaster oven with chicken fingers for a quick and easy lunch. I frequently find them on sale which is great and I get quite a few meals out of the bag as well.

I received this as a sample from Biore and was very skeptical about this soap having any improvements on my stubborn blackheads. I was pleasantly surprised when I noticed my blackheads disappearing! I use it nightly after my cleanser and scrub the soap in circular motions right on my face to really get a deep scrub into my pores. The tiny bits of charcoal that comes off in the foam leaves my face feeling tingly clean! My small sample bar is lasting me a long time too. -

Swiffer Duster
Makes dusting quick and easy! Great for geting the dust in those hard to reach spots.

After Eight Chocolate
After Eights have been my favourite since childhood. I think they are what started my mint chocolate addiction! They have the perfect ratio of chocolate and mint.

I was excited to try this as I love Reese peanut butter cups but I did not enjoy it all. So much so that I couldn't even finish it and I had to drink some water afterwards to wash down the taste. The "graham cracker fingers" weren't graham crackery tasting at all and the spread didn't taste anything like a Reese cup. -
Always Regular Ultra Thin Non Wings Pads
Use these overnight during the middle to end of my period when the flow isn't as intense so I don't need the wings. Thin yet absorbent.
