My Skincare Routine

For today, I'll be sharing my skincare routine. I've been using these products for quite a long time now. I don't really like experimenting with face products since I have sensitive and acne prone skin. If one product works for me, I'll keep using it until maybe I get immune to it.


 So let's get on with the products, shall we?

Morning Routine

I wash my face using the Benzac 5% wash.  

I apply the Etude House Minisize U Pore Serum on my cheeks and nose.

Finally, I put on Neutrogena Fine Fairness SPF30 lotion. 

I also sometimes use the iWhite Aqua Moisturizing Cream if my skin is dry.

Evening Routine

I wash my face again with the Benzac 5% wash.

I put a pea size amount of Benzac 5% gel on my entire face to prevent pimples.

I then apply the Etude House Minisize U Pore Serum on my cheeks and nose. 

Finally, I apply Neutrogena Fine Fairness cream.

Weekly Routine

I use the St. Ives Apricot Scrub 2-3 times a week to exfoliate.

For masks, I use Aztec Secret Healing Clay and iWhite Whitening pack (not on the same day of course). 

Well, that's it! My skincare routine is pretty simple and fuss-free.

What about you? What skincare products do you use?

Beauty Blabber: Miscellaneous Tips for Acne Prone Skin

Hi Guys! I hope you all are doing fine despite the bad weather. I was able to find time this week to write a new post for this blog and it's all about skincare (as always!). 


For today I'd like to talk about some of the things I do to keep my skin from breaking out. Aside from the usual healthy eating and usage of acne products I find that these practices contribute as well to having clearer skin. If you're interested about them then read on as I share some tips. After all, sharing is caring!

• Wash hair often

Hair becomes dirty when we are exposed to outside elements like pollution. Since hair frequently comes in contact with our face it is important to have clean hair. I personally wash mine every other day but if I skipped the day  that I'm supposed to wash it, I wear my hair in a ponytail or a loose bun to keep my hair off my face and make sure to just wash it the day after.

• Change pillowcases often

Of course our pillowcases get dirty too and it's not a good thing since germs/bacteria might start to form and cause us breakouts while we sleep. Before I wasn't really paying attention on how frequent I change pillowcases but I think it did my skin good when I started to change them often. I make it a point to change mine every month and I'm strict about that as I keep track of the date when I'm supposed to change it.  Also, I spritz alcohol on my pillows everynight just as an additional precaution.

• Sanitize your phone

Our hands are good transmitters of bacteria. it's important to keep them clean through handwashing and use of alcohol.  Since we use our hands to hold our phones [frequently everyday for calling and texting], it's important for it to be sanitized as well.  I just  wipe mine everyday with antibacterial wipes [and I just make sure that my hands are clean too when I'm using it.  Which brings me to the next tip

• As much as possible avoid touching the face

I make it a conscious effort to avoid touching my face but if ever I do, I make sure my hands are clean. I bring either a  bottle of sanitizer or alcohol with me everywhere I go. We wouldn't want our hands to transmit bacteria to our face since bacteria can cause us pimples.

• Avoid using too much face products

Using way too many products on the face can do more harm than good as it can irritate the face leading to more zits. I remember using two topical acne creams back then at the same time prior to discovering Benzac. Instead of clearing my existing pimples faster it made the situation worse as new pimples started to pop out.  Good thing I learned my lesson then and I started to take it easy.

St. Ives Blemish and Blackhead Control Apricot Scrub

Product claims
Oil-free - 2% salicylic acid • dermatologist-tested • 100% natural exfoliants • 100% natural extracts

I've been buying this product even before it's packaging had changed. This is my favorite face exfoliator. It's inexpensive and lasts for ages as only little amount is needed every time. It's pretty abrasive so I suggest using this on your face with gentle circular motions as I bet you do not want to end up scrubbing your face raw. I use this scrub twice a week and I think it really helps my skin. On the label, it says that you can use the scrub 3 to 4 times a week for best results. This is an indispensable product on my skincare regimen together with the Benzac wash and Benzac gel.

I don't limit the use of this scrub on my face alone though as I also use it on other parts of my body --particularly the chest, back, and the bum area. These areas of the body are prone to pimples too and I think the salicyclic acid in this scrub helps those nasty blemishes under wraps. I use this on my body once a week or even more sometimes.  :)

Iwhite Whitening Pack

I haven't posted anything for the past couple of days in this blog as I've been a little bit busy. For today's post I'm doing a review on the iWhite whitening pack. I was inspired to write a review about them while I have the mask on at the very moment I'm writing this. 

Old iWhite packaging

Php 20 a piece

Iwhite whitening pack removes deep seated dirt, whiteheads, blackheads, dead skin, and other impurities as it whitens to reveal a radiant, glowing, younger-looking skin. Especially formulated with Morus Alba root extract to whiten dark skin and evens out discolorations, Panax Ginseng root extract to revitalize and improve skin condition and vitamins A,C,E and B5 to prevent premature aging.

The Story

After trying out and loving Iwhite Skin Whitening Vita Aqua Moisturizing Cream, I wanted to try out more products from iwhite. Since I already ran out of my Neutrogena Fine Fairness Mask, I went in and bought the iwhite mask. Keep in mind thought that the Neutrogena mask is a sheet type mask whereas iwhite is a peel off mask.

The Verdict

It smells a little weird. I was expecting the same scent as the iwhite cream but it’s not a major deal breaker as its not strong or irritating at all. The mask has a thick consistency but its not hard to apply on the face though its quite hard to wash off your fingers after applying the mask. The mask takes about 30 minutes to dry. Some may not have the patience for that but I don’t really mind it as I usually just let it sit on my face as I watch some random tv show. Once the mask is hard it is easy to peel it off the face. I was even able to take it out in one piece. It removed some of my facial hair (the ones in the sides of my forehead) Don’t ever put this near your brows unless you want them yanked out. My face felt smoother afterwards especially on the nose area. It can definitely take out whiteheads. 

They had changed their packaging quite recently. To the left is the old packaging and to the right is the new ones.  

Iwhite Skin Whitening Vita Aqua Moisturizing Cream

Php 20 for a 6g sachet and Php169 for a 50g tube

I don’t know why the Neutrogena Fine Fairness lotion and cream are not doing much for me in the moisturizing department; well it wasn’t advertised for moisturizing in the first place anyway but more as a whitening solution. Those two products are not enough for me when I have my dry skin days. (I don’t know what’s up with my skin but usually when I’m at home it’s oily and when I go out its dry) One day when I’m about to go to class I noticed that my skin is flaking everywhere (like on the cheek area, nose area, mouth area, and heck even on the brow area!) and of course I did not want people to see me in that state so I made a quick stop to 7-11 and went to their mini section for personal care and grabbed one sachet.

The Verdict
I hurriedly applied it on my face, it smelt really nice and clean. But did it work? Oh yes! It did a good job in moisturizing my parched skin. The flakiness was gone after I have applied and massaged the cream on my face. I’m glad it worked otherwise I would not have gone to class on that day. From that day on I made sure to check on my face after leaving the house from time to time to see whether my face would start flaking up.

 I haven’t read what’s written on the packaging prior to applying it on my face and it was after that I applied it on that I’ve read it has vitamin e. I kinda panicked at that time since I had experienced breaking out with vitamin e. I was thinking to myself if I should wash it off immediately or allow it to stay on my face until after I get home. I dreaded waking up the next morning with a zit or worse, zits on my face. Fortunately, it didn’t break me out. I’ve used it a couple of times but not really on a daily basis since I only use this when I have class or when I go out. I use it with Neutrogena since it has SPF. 

I got about 8 applications in that Php20 pesos sachet. It was definitely worth it and inexpensive so I was very happy with that. I couldn’t resist buying the 50g tube after finishing the sachet. However, I cannot comment on the whitening claim though since I do not use this on a daily basis. Maybe I would be using this after I have finished my Neutrogena Fine Fairness cream. I would definitely recommend this for people with dry skin as it really does a good job in bringing moisture to the skin without the hefty price tag. I love that they come in sachets too so that you could try out the product first and see for yourself if you like it or not before buying a tube. I would even love it more if they were to come in a packaging like that of the Ponds no mess sachet so they can be conveniently stored in a purse without the worry that the contents may leak and make a mess inside your bag. 

Beauty Blabber: What's So Good About Oils?

For today let's talk about oils. I just realized that I've been using two oils on a daily basis namely: extra virgin olive oil and rosehip oil. 

Let's first talk about the former. I slather evoo before every bath/shower. I find that by doing this, my skin doesn't dry out when I use bar soaps. I slather a thin layer of evoo before a quick shower while I apply a thicker layer for longer baths. Extra virgin olive oil, after all, is a natural and hypoallergenic way to moisturize skin plus it also has Vitamins A and E that help repair and stimulate skin  to make it smoother and healthier. I also apply a generous amount of evoo once a week on my hair for a good 30 minutes before shampooing as it makes my hair appear shinier. The oil can be tricky to wash off from the hair so I apply more shampoo on my hair than usual. 

The next oil I use is rosehip oil. The one I’m using is by Botany Works. I use this mainly on dark spots on my body left by eczema. Rosehip Oil contains Vitamin A, which assists with cell regeneration. It also contains essential fatty acids and Vitamin E, which promotes healthy skin. I’ve read online that it takes about three months to see a difference on scars so you got to be patient with this. So far I have been only using it for a month. I put a tiny amount on the area and massage it until it is absorbed. I do this twice a day- in the morning and before sleeping. I’ve also read that it can be used on stretch marks. So if you are looking for a natural treatment for stretch marks I suggest giving this a try.

I’d put up an update on the rosehip oil after two months to let you guys know if it lightened my dark spots or not.

Neutrogena Fine Fairness Deep Whitening Mask

Price Php990 per box which contains 5 pieces of mask

Size 30g per mask

Price Breakdown Php 198 per mask

The Story

     I have always wanted to try this product because of the many raves of beauty bloggers both here and abroad however I find the price too prohibitive to actually purchase one. There’s always the risk of this product not working on me and that’s a little less than Php1000 down the drain (and that thought makes me cringe). How I just wish that we can purchase it per piece instead of committing to buying a whole box to see whether it works for us or not since Php 198 is less cringe inducing that Php 990 anyway.

     So I went to the mall, went to the Neutrogena counter and picked up a box. The funny thing is that I put the box back to the shelf not once… but twice. I tried to distract myself by checking out the other beauty products but I find myself going back to the Neutrogena counter picking the same box and putting it back on the shelf then doing the same routine again until I finally headed down the cashier. Bottom line, I ended up buying it otherwise this review wouldn’t be made possible.

     I’m pretty happy with my Aztec Secret healing mask which costs less than Php500 a tub and lasts about half a year or more on me. Though I know that Aztec Secret and this Neutrogena mask are different since well the latter is a whitening mask whereas the former is a deep cleansing mask.  I haven’t tried any whitening masks before so curiosity got the best of me.

The Verdict

     15 minutes have passed but I decided to let it stay for one more minute. The mask felt so good on my face that I wanted to sleep with the mask on. After another minute, came the big reveal. I took the mask off and massaged my face. I took a good look at my face on the mirror, there wasn’t any major change in terms of skin tone but my skin felt really hydrated and fresh. I’ve read on other reviews that after the night they’ve put on the mask, their faces would be glowing the next morning. True enough when I woke up the next morning, my face was indeed a little brighter and hydrated however the effect didn’t last for the whole day. I guess this product is good to use when you have a date or an event to go to as after all this mask leaves the face a little brighter (don’t expect the mask to do anything drastic) and well hydrated for the day.

I’ve used up the whole box already. I used it once a week. I definitely liked the product but I don’t think I would shell out that much money for it since adding a little more amount to your Php198 can afford me a basic facial at the salon already. I would happily buy it if it were 50 bucks a piece though. I know I’m such a cheapskate but that’s the most I can shell out for a mask. 

Veet Sensitive Skin Hair Removal Cream

I have been using this product for a long time already that I've lost track of how many tubes I had consumed. I am balbon and I prefer to be hair-less as skin appears neater and smoother looking that way. Veet hair removal cream has three variants and I use the one for sensitive skin since I have that skin type. The 100ml tube lasts me for a month and I use it once a week for my arms and legs. I apply it first on my arms and then on my legs and leave it on for about 8 minutes then take the spatula that comes with it to remove the cream.  Veet for sensitive skin can be left on for a maximum of 10 minutes. The 100ml tube costs Php224.75 while the trial sized one costs Php99 and has 25ml. If you're new to the product I suggest picking up the 25ml tube to test whether you like the product or not but if you're already a regular user of veet then buying the regular sized product is a much wiser option as it is more cost effective.  With a little bit of math, it only cost around Php56 per usage to get rid of unwanted hair. That's pretty inexpensive IMO. Though it is made for sensitive skin I still get some red spots in my arms or legs after using the product however fret not as it disappears by itself after less than an hour. I suggest not using any scented lotion after using this as it may irritate the skin. I love that this doesn't give me chicken skin or ingrown hairs. However, I find the scent is weird. It doesn't bother me much than before though because I've gotten used to it.

Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay

Price less than Php500 (I can’t recall the exact price since the last time I purchased this was last February)

Size 1lb

     I found out about this product through a random video I have watched on YouTube. I got curious about it thereafter and started to search reviews for it on the internet. All reviews I’ve read seem to be raving about this product so I immediately wanted to try it out for myself.  To my surprise it is even available in our country! So I went in to the nearest healthy options store to purchase one. (This review is long overdue as I am on my second tub already!  And btw a tub lasts for more than 6 months on me. This is such a good deal.)

The Verdict

     I have been religiously using this for more than a year and I think it really does a good job at deep cleaning the face. I love how the mask feels on my face especially when the mask starts to harden (that’s the time when you really feel like your face is pulsating). I use the mask twice a week and leave it on until it’s completely dry. I really don’t know how long I leave it on since I watch TV or tinker with my computer while I’m on it.

     According to the directions written at the back of the tub, use a non-metal bowl and utensil. I use a plastic spoon to scoop product out on the tub and put it on a plastic bowl to mix it with water to form the mixture that I put on my face. Usually I scoop out a tablespoonful of clay and mix it with about 2 tablespoons of water. The consistency should not be too thick or too watered down otherwise it would be difficult to apply.  I use the e.l.f. foundation brush to apply the mask on my face. I apply a thicker amount on my nose and cheeks as I feel that those areas need more deep cleaning than the rest. Washing off the mask can be messy and difficult.  It’s hard to get the whole mask off with just water alone so I use St. Ives Apricot Scrub to scrub off the bits and pieces that’s left on my face and as well as to help remove the blackheads and whiteheads. There might be slight redness after use but it will disappear in no time. The final result: I am left with soft and smooth skin.        

Carmex Original Flavor Moisturizing Lip Balm

Price Php100

Size 7.5g

I have dry lips and I suffer easily from chapped lips to wind burns. After searching the internet for a good and inexpensive lipbalm, I found out about Carmex and decided to purchase it based on the positive reviews I have read. It is available in 3 kinds of packaging: the one on the squeezable tubes, sticks, and jars. I chose to buy the one on the jar as it contains the most product out of three, all at the same cost. (the most bang for my buck) The ones on the stick packaging contain 4g of product but it has SPF 15 though.

Smell

It smells menthol-y which sort of reminds me of the smell of Vicks Vapor Rub. Some people may shy away from the product because of the smell but to me I don’t really mind the scent. I actually like it.

Consistency

It is waxy and slightly thick.

Verdict

I’ve been using this twice a day for over six months and my pot is still half-full. I love the cool, tingly feeling when I apply it. It does a good job in moisturizing my lips however there are times when it’s moisturizing capabilities are not enough for my lips (it happens rarely so it’s almost negligible ). I think the only thing lacking in this product is SPF. I’m guilty of not having any lip products with SPF (I know it's bad) but when I finish this pot, I’d probably purchase the Carmex Original stick with SPF 15.

Neutrogena Fine Fairness Cream

Price Php774.75 for 50g (That’s about 15.50 per gram)

I purchased this cream last May since I felt like my face needed a little more moisturization. Like the Neutrogena lotion, it looks sleek and the bottle is quite heavy as well. Both products have the similar smell-light and not overpowering. The cream has a thicker consistency compared with the lotion. 

It comes in a tub packaging so some people would have hygienic issues with this since you have to use your fingers to dip into the product over and over again and bacteria might transfer into the product and contaminate it. This of course can be prevented by making sure your hands are clean when dipping your fingers into the tub. By the way, I use this as my night cream but you can use this during the day if you need heavier moisturization (if you use it during the day, make sure to use sun protection since this one doesn’t have SPF). I suggest going easy on the application and don’t over apply since it can sting especially on the nose area and make skin feel heavy and oily.     

Neutrogena Fine Fairness SPF 30 Lotion

(Picture  was taken from yesstyle.com. My bottle is busted so I didn't bother posting it)

Price Php720 for 40ml (that’s 18 per ml)

Neutrogena Fine Fairness lotion is a daily moisturizing whitening lotion that helps protect skin against the appearance of melanin and uneven pigmentation for a healthy, fair and translucent glow.

I’ve had this product since December and I have been using it daily during the daytime after I’ve cleansed my face. It’s been more than six months and I still have about 30% product left so it is really economical and easy on the pocket. The packaging looks really sleek but a little heavy. I accidentally dropped mine and the hard plastic case got broken and chipped like crazy but good thing the product didn’t spill the over. That would be such a total waste. So I guess the heavy bottle has a good purpose especially for clumsy people like me.

Plus I could pull out the product from the plastic bottle and see how much is left. (You probably couldn't if your bottle isn't broken like mine)

I love that it has SPF 30 so I need not use anymore sun block. It has a faint smell but it is not at all irritating to the nose. I also love how it instantly brightens my face after application. It’s not like WOW but there’s definitely a difference when I use this Neutrogena lotion.Although I don’t know if I became whiter after using this product as I am already on the light side to begin with but it does help on the brightening side. We don’t what to look white and dull, don’t we?  And like other Neutrogena products I’ve used before, this one also didn’t break me out. (Yay! I ♥ Neutrogena! ) But one thing that I didn’t like is that it is not moisturizing enough. Even with that, I’d still repurchase this product as the pros definitely outweigh the cons. But I wouldn't be reaching for a new one soon as I still have some product left that would probably last me for one more month. 【ツ】

Oilatum Shower Gel

My other aunt sent a couple of tubes of Oilatum Shower Gel for me to use for my eczema a couple of months ago. The main ingredient of this product is light liquid paraffin and it is supposed to soothe and moisturize skin all the while relieving it of itchiness and irritation caused by eczema. I think you can also use this too if you have dry skin. It’s fragrance-free and can be both used by children and adults.

To use this shower gel, first wash up using the regular soap that you use. (In my case, I just use the good ole Dove White Beauty Bar. I’ve been using that soap since my high school years. I do try other soaps when I get bored with Dove but I always go back to using it anyways). Then after doing so, use a small amount of Oilatum Shower Gel onto the dry areas of the body or parts affected with eczema and massage it for a bit. Rinse the area/s, pat dry, and you’re good to get out of the shower. This is a non-foaming shower gel. I find it a bit weird because of course I expect shower gels to lather up. I’m not going to complain though as it keeps my skin from flare-ups. (Hmm I guess non-foaming washes are effective on me. First, Benzac for my acne and now Oilatum for my eczema!) I would suggest taking it easy when it comes to application since too much of the gel can make your skin look and feel greasy. A little goes a long way and a tube would last a couple of months. I’m currently on my third tube now.

I don’t know though if this shower gel is available locally but I know we have Oilatum soap here. I have also tried the soap in the past and it is a good product too.

If you’re looking for something that would help you with eczema or dry skin, this product might be of help to you.

Neutrogena Alcohol-Free Toner

Price Php276.50 for 150ml (that’s about 1.84 per ml)

Prior to using this Neutrogena Alcohol-Free Toner, I previously used Neutrogena Deep Clean Invigorating Dual Action Toner but I think it was phased out as I don’t see them in the stores anymore. Too bad I loved that toner so when I ran out I just bought the alcohol-free one and I’m going to do a review about it today.

 Basically, I love that it is alcohol-free—it doesn’t sting when applied on the face plus it is not drying. This toner also keeps oils at bay though the oil control lasts just a couple of hours. I still have to blot my face in the middle of the day. It has a mild scent but I don’t think it can be irritating. I have sensitive acne-prone skin and I have not experienced any irritation and break outs with this. I use this toner every time after washing my face to remove extra dirt or oil off my face before I apply my Benzac gel. I use about 3-4 drops of this toner each time and that’s pretty much all you will ever need for the entire face so this bottle lasts a long time. One bottle lasts me about three and a half months. ツ

 

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion

Prior to discovering this product, I used to use the lotion that my dermatologist would prescribe me. It is quite pricey at Php500 for 100ml. Since I had to apply it twice a day all over my body, the tube would just last barely a month. I find it expensive for me since I have to use it for a long time to keep my eczema under control plus I also spend on other skin care products. My aunt abroad then decided to send me a couple of bottles of Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion to try since that’s what my cousin, who also suffers from eczema, uses as her lotion.       

(picture taken from Aveeno's website)

It has natural colloidal oatmeal which was perfect since my previous lotion contained that ingredient too. I would have to say that this is not a treatment for healing eczema rather it works to prevent it. I used this cream (which I shamelessly forgot the name of) to treat existing eczema but that was way back in high school when my eczema was full blown. I don’t get new patches of itchy, flaky skin anymore so there is no need for me to use that cream, so hence I forgot what it’s called.

Going back to the product, this lotion is fragrance-free which is very good for people with eczema or sensitive skin. It claims to moisturize for 24 hours but I don’t think it really does but nonetheless Aveeno does an awesome job moisturizing the skin (actually even better than the lotion I used before). Another great thing about the product is that it’s not too thick and sticky which doesn’t make skin feel heavy and greasy. Yay for that!

I am using this lotion twice a day. I have used about 8- 532ml bottles of this lotion up to date. A bottle typically lasts about 3 months with daily use so it’s a lot cheaper than my previous lotion that my derma prescribed me (don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to bash my derma it’s just that who doesn’t want to save some moolah). It is available locally and I have seen this product at Shopwise and selected Watson’s stores. The price at Watson’s  MOA is around Php850 if I remember correctly which is not so bad since it can last for months.

Benzac AC Gel 5%

Here's my review of the Benzac AC Gel 5%. 

(I opted not to take a picture of my benzac gel since it looks pretty much in the same condition as my benzac wash haha so I took a pretty picture on the web so you guys can see a clearer picture of the product. photo taken from emedicalstate.com)  

       I use this product together with the facial wash as I think it works great together. I put this every night on my entire face to treat existing pimples and to prevent new ones. Like the Benzac AC Wash, I have gone through countless of tubes of this product. The 15g tube goes a long, long way. It typically lasts me 4 to 5 months. This is definitely an indispensable product on my skin care regimen. I love that it doesn’t burn or sting skin and leave dark marks unlike other similar acne gels and creams that I had tried in the past.

I hope this was a helpful review. Just a disclaimer, although this product works for me it doesn't necessary follow that it may work for you. I  suggest using this product or any other product that I will write about in this blog at your own discretion. 

Let's all stay beautiful :-)  

Benzac AC Gel Wash 5%

(I know the picture is fugly but I had been using this tube for about four months and that's why some of the prints on the tube are gone. I need to buy a new one since I'm running out. )

Ever since high school, I have experienced terrible breakouts. I religiously used Neutrogena Acne-prone soap for my entire high school years and that really helped in clearing my skin but somehow after using it for so many years, it stopped working on me. Thus, I needed to find another product that I could use to keep pimples at bay. I tried a lot of products that worked for a short period of time or that made my acne worse. Until one day on a random trip to Mercury Drug, I found out about Benzac AC Gel. I did a little research on the product first before buying as it is a little bit pricey (for me at least). Benzac AC Gel is basically benzoyl peroxide that comes in 2%, 5%, and 10% concentration. So finally I decided to purchase one. Did I regret buying the product? A big fat NO! I love this product. I have consumed a lot of tubes for the past years and I would definitely be repurchasing for as long as it keeps working on me. It kept my face from breaking out. The gel’s consistency is thick and can be easily spread on the face. It doesn’t dry my skin but I still use a moisturizer though and I recommend everyone to use a moisturizer for their respective skin type. Oh and a moisturizer with SPF is a must.

Anyway going back to the product itself.

Benzac AC Gel is gentle and doesn’t sting when applied on the face. I use this twice on a daily basis as this is my primary face cleanser. However, unlike any other regular facial cleansers, this one doesn’t lather. I would have liked it to lather as it felt weird to me. It’s as if I am only applying cream on my face but I really don’t have any big issue with that since it is effective on me.

What I don’t like about this product is the pricing. Every time I would repurchase, the price keep on increasing so I have to pay more than the cost of the last tube that I finished.  

 It also comes with the Benzac AC Keratolytic Gel which is basically a topical cream applied on the pimples which I will be reviewing in my next post.
