I have maturing skin that tends to be on the dry/sensitive side of the spectrum, so I most definitely have to make a facial moisturizer a part of my nighttime ritual. So, when I was sent PanOxyl PM Balancing Renewal Moisturizer by PanOxyl and Butterly, I was eager to see how it stacked up against my regular nighttime moisturizer. It comes in a squeeze tube so it’s easy to get the amount you need. I didn’t need much as this moisturizer is fairly creamy, though not as thick as I’m used to with my regular nighttime moisturizer. My skin absorbed it fairly quickly and it didn’t pill, though I did find a slight tacky feeling afterwards. This moisturizer contains Niacinamide which offers oil control and also serves to even skin tone, so not only does it help maintain your blemish-free skin, it rids of the redness and scars left behind by blemishes of the past. It also plays nice with my other nighttime facial products like serums and such. I felt that this moisturizer worked fairly well to moisturize my skin and I did feel that it also helped to tamp down the redness of any marks left by blemishes. It also helps that this product works to keep pores clear of the gunk that causes blemishes. I will definitely continue to use this moisturizer during times when I am suffering from breakouts because the addition of benzoyl peroxide in this product will be most helpful in that instance, but because my skin tends to be on the dry side, I feel I personally need a regular nighttime moisturizer that gives my skin more hydration. However, if your skin tends to be on the oilier side, I highly suggest giving PanOxyl’s PM Balancing Renewal Moisturizer a try…you may just find your new nighttime moisturizer! For those like me who need heavier hydration, this is still worth picking up for those times when you are suffering from breakouts. I hope this review has helped you to make the purchasing decision that is right for you!

Being as I am someone with acne-prone skin which also tends to be rather sensitive, it can be hard to strike the right balance of clearing up blemishes while not over-drying. In order to accomplish this task, a daytime moisturizer is essential. This is why I was excited when I received PanOxyl AM Oil Control Moisturizer from PanOxyl and Butterly free to try in exchange for my review. I wanted to see what PanOxyl’s daytime moisturizer could offer me in regards to keeping my skin soft and supple while protecting it from the elements as I get on with my day. The moisturizer comes in a squeeze tube bottle, so it’s easy to use and easy to squeeze out the right amount. I didn’t need much, just a few dabs on strategic places and then blend it into my skin well. This moisturizer is absorbed by the skin easily with no pilling, no greasiness, and no residue left behind. It’s a light moisturizer that doesn’t feel heavy on the skin. This isn’t just a moisturizer, though, it also works to control oil in order to help you maintain your blemish-free skin AND it contains SPF 30, so it protects your skin from the sun’s harmful rays, which is going to help you keep your youthful appearance longer, too. Unlike a lot of sunscreens, this moisturizer doesn’t leave a white cast on the skin and doesn’t travel to your eyes if you sweat, leaving your eyes irritated. It acted very much like another name brand face moisturizer/sunscreen that I used to use everyday. Now, PanOxyl AM Oil Control Moisturizer will be my go-to daytime cream because it’s a triple threat, baby! Thank you, PanOxyl and Butterly, for this amazing gift!

I have previously used cleansers from PanOxyl, but have never tried any of their other products, until now. PanOxyl and Butterly generously gifted me with four wonderful PanOxyl skincare products in exchange for my review, and PanOxyl Clarifying Exfoliant was among them. This exfoliant is a clear liquid that you use like a toner and leave on your skin without rinsing. I used a cotton makeup remover pad to apply it to my entire face, with the emphasis being on my t-zone and any problem area showing blemishes. I didn’t use the exfoliant everyday because it’s not necessary to exfoliate everyday and to do so would be harsh on my sensitive skin. For those with an oilier skin profile, you may choose to use this exfoliant more often. The liquid is clear and the scent is so light that many might not even notice it. After using, I was surprised that my skin didn’t feel tight at all…it just felt refreshed. In using the PanOxyl exfoliant, I see a definite improvement in my blackhead situation as well as redness and scars left by blemishes of the past. These are marks I never thought I’d be rid of and now, they are so light, that they can’t be noticed unless I’m looking into a magnifying mirror! I will continue to use this product to keep my skin looking blemish, scar, and redness-free! Thank you, PanOxyl and Butterly!

PanOxyl Acne Wash – 4% Benzoyl Peroxide Cream

As someone with acne-prone yet sensitive skin, it can be difficult to find skincare products that will fight my acne yet not leave my skin irritated and dry. So, when PanOxyl and Butterly sent me PanOxyl's Benzoyl Peroxide Cream 4% Daily Cleaning Wash, I approached it with a bit of trepidation, at first. But after using this cleanser for the past couple of weeks, I can safely say that it has, indeed, struck the right balance for my skin! The cleanser itself is creamy, which soothes my skin as I cleanse with it. After rinsing and patting my face dry, I was surprised to find that, while my face felt sparkling clean, my skin didn't feel dry and tight like it does with other cleansers for blemish prone skin. Nor was there any irritation or redness to be seen. There is a slight smell from the Benzoyl Peroxide, but that soon dissipates after rinsing the product off of my face. After having used this cleanser for two weeks straight, my face is blemish-free yet soft, supple and glowing! Thank you, PanOxyl and Butterly for so generously gifting me with this wonderful cleanser!

PanOxyl PM Blemish Brightening Patches

For those with cystic acne like me, you know what a mess one of these particular blemishes can make of your face. When I was given the opportunity by Butterly and PanOxyl to try PanOxyl’s PM brightening patches for post acne care, I jumped at the opportunity in hopes these patches would help to fade the redness that cystic acne can leave behind.
I had a few spots I could’ve tried the patches on, but I didn’t want to use the patches on all of them in case they made matters worse. I focused on one spot left from a big pimple that had since dried up that left behind an unsightly red mark on my face. I followed the instructions, placing a patch on the spot overnight for the next 10 days to see if these patches could fade the red spot. The patches are circular and are big enough to fit over spots left by big pimples. You could probably wear them during the day without an issue because they aren’t really noticeable, but PanOxyl says to wear them overnight. They stuck on well and stayed stuck until I peeled them off in the morning. I didn’t see much of an improvement after 3 days as PanOxyl stated, but I did see a marked improvement after using the patches for 10 days. I also like that they didn’t seem to dry out my skin, but seemed to smooth it out. Another thing I like is what these patches don’t have: no fragrances, parabens, latex, or dyes. If you have sensitive skin and/or are allergic to latex, you should find that these won’t irritate your skin. I have sensitive skin, in my own right, and these patches didn’t cause me any sort of issue.
I would most definitely buy more of these as part of my post-acne care regimen and I would also recommend these patches to friends and loved ones. As those who suffer with acne can attest, bad acne and the mess it leaves behind often affects one’s self-esteem. That’s why patches like these can be so vital to those who suffer with acne, because it helps to fade the signs of breakouts, so we can hold our heads high again. If you or someone you love suffers with acne and its after effects, I highly recommend giving these PanOxyl PM brightening patches a try. I hope this review has helped you to make the purchasing decision that is right for you!

I've been using Revlon PhotoReady Primer for a couple of weeks now. I started using a primer because I've been noticing some redness around my nose and wanted to balance out my complexion. I have used Revlon's PhotoReady Foundation and liked it quite a lot, so I decided to try the Primer, too. It is pretty costly for a drugstore brand, but you get a lot of product...I could never use the entire bottle in three month's time. I do find that it works quite well to balance out the colour of my complexion...the red around my nose isn't noticeable when I wear it nor are my freckles. My problem with this primer is that it feels tacky to the touch...it's not the type of product that you can put on your face and forget about...you are constantly aware of it. So, if you do use it, use as little as possible and make sure you wear a good moisturizer underneath. This primer isn't something I'd use every day because I do find it too heavy for me, but it is good for those special occasions when you want to look your very best. -
