Works well
NeoStrata's acne clarifying gel cleanser washes well without drying out your skin. After a few days of using the Acne line, I noticed quite a difference. I was pleasantly surprised that it worked so well!
Miracle worker!
Let me start by saying..i dont have acne. Dont pass by this product simply because you think "well i dont have acne". Its the ingredient in it that could just do wonders for you - salycylic acid!
I have always suffered with clogged enlarged pores that (TMI coming up) ooze little white stringy things when squeezed. Not blackheads necessarily but just little grey dots that never went away. Further research pointed towards my sebaceous filaments. I have them all over my face, worst on my nose (oh my nose!) and my chin. Not overly noticeable to others im sure but its been the only thing i see every time i look in the mirror for years!
Only in the past year has it really affected my confidence and i resolved to fix it. With NeoStrata i think i am well on the way!
I was put onto this product by a helpful Shoppers Drug Mart skincare gal. I was asking about something with salycylic acid in and she pointe me to this. I always thought NeoStrata was out of my budget but its really much cheaper than i imagined. It was on sale when she told me about it but i didn't get it right away, i wanted to do some research. Then i went back in and it was on an even better sale. Ive been back since and its on sale again!
I have been using this for around a week and already see a big difference. The first few days i used every night and it was maybe a bit of a shock to my skin so for now i am on every other night, but may go back to every night, im going to listen to my skin. I wash my face with a gentle cleanser first (not this), to take any make up off. Then i take a small amount of this and massage it into my skin for around 30 seconds then rinse off. My skin does feel a little tight after use but i have very dehydrated skin anyway so im not surprised by this and its not necessarily down to this product.
My skin looks brighter and clearer and i think (i hope) its only going to get better!
I have oily sensitive skin that is very affected by hormonal fluctuations. I had tried several expensive boutique products to clear up my skin, but the clarifying wash from Neostrata with 4% glycolic acid worked the best. It didn't aggravate my sensitive skin, and really quickly worked to clean out my pores.
I absolutely love it... It cleared my acne prone skin, and left it feeling fresh. It didn't over dry, & cause my skin to over produce oil as most acne soaps tend to do. I'll continue to use this cleanser... And although it is on the pricey side, you dont have to use a large quantity to get the job done,& so the product lasts a long time. So the money is worth it.
So I was at Shoppers Drug Mart and I moseying around looking for a cleanser, (because we all know after a while Vichy Cleansers stop working). The girl working at Shoppers Drug Mart was like, "this cleanser will change your life". And normally I'm like "BS", but she was like "don't you want to be beautiful?"
So I have dry skin and am acne prone (very acne prone) and didn't want to be tricked, especially if it would cost me $20ish, but, who doesn't want a face like Selena Gomez or Gabrielle Union.
So I bought this cleanser, washed my face, and realised that it took everything off! Like, all my makeup, the dead layer of skin from the day, everything!
And I woke up the next morning and noticed it also reduced my acne.
A week later I was pretty much acne free, and more confident about my face (and therefore my life).
I immediately waited around my smartphone like a hungry hippo for my next paycheck and rushed to shoppers drug mart and bought MORE Neostrata products to add to my fantastic collection.
This being said;
1. Thoroughly cleanses the skin on the face (yours or someone else's, doesn't matter)
2. Kills acne
3. Is a cool colour. (I refer to it as the blue goo)
4. Largish tube lasts for a couple of months
5. Works for a long period of time (haven't had to switch in almost a year)
6. Goes on a rotating sale (every three weeks) so you don't have to buy it full price
Run my friends, run to Shoppers Drug Mart...Or Rexall (I think) and BUY!!!
I tried the face wash, and it takes a while for the whole treatment to work. But it shows good results in the end. But you will also get breakout in the beggining, I would personally like to use it during the breaks, when I don't wear makeup everyday. It works better though with the other products like the clarifying solution to get faster results. They are easily available in all the drug stores.
