Hello Again!
I was going to post a navy blue/pink nautical inspired manicure for you all, but I attempted a navy/pink/white ombre and I am not thrilled with it at all. Honestly, I am not all that happy with the manicure and I plan on taking it off tonight. So, I'm back with one of my many drafts!
The main reason this one has been drafted so long is because it is a review on a 3 step acne system I bought from Avon and I wanted to be sure that I liked it before I went and reviewed it!
This is step one in the system, an exfoliating face wash. I use this both in the morning when I shower and at night after I take my makeup off. I love this step because it leaves your face with a wonderful cool and tingly feeling!
Step 2 are the clarifying toner pads. I use these in the morning when I get out of the shower. All you have to do is wipe them all over your face then let your face dry!
Step 3 is the daily correcting lotion. I use this in the morning and at night. Keep in mind, though that this contains salicylic acid, so if you have more dry skin I would use it only once a day. My skin tends to be quite oily, so using this twice a day works great to balance out that oil!
I will tell you that this can seem pricey when you first purchase it. We all know that I'm typically broke so I cringed when I saw the price, but I saw so many reviews on YouTube stating that is was better than Proactive (which I definitely agree with!) I just had to splurge and buy it!
After the initial purchase, it is much more affordable. You never run out of all 3 at once. The first thing I ran out of were the toner pads, simply because there are 45 of them. So I usually buy them once a month, depending on when my Avon orders go in. Next, I ran out of the face wash (which I also use to wash my back and chest), I find that the face wash lasts me about a month and a half to two months. And I literally JUST bought my second bottle of the moisturizer. I want to emphasize this point because I have been using this since September and it is now March, so it lasted me about 7 months or so! Talk about value!
Before I get too far into this, yes, I am an Avon Representative. Though I was in no way influenced by Avon to review these products. I saw this system in one of the brochures and did my own research and decided to purchase it of my own accord.
Now that that's over with, here are some before and after pictures:
I clearly was planning on taking progress pictures for you guys, but that obviously didn't happen! You can see some progress here, my cheeks are almost all cleared up and my forehead is also clearer. Also, some of the redness has gone down. I would take a picture of my skin right now (which looks great if you ask me!) but I have makeup on and I don't want to have to take it off and put it back on. My skin has cleared up so much over the past 7 months it's crazy! I will still get a little breakout here and there, but I fight those with my Avon Clearskin Professional Liquid Extraction Strip which I reviewed here and my Avon Clearskin Pore Penetrating Black Mineral Mask which I plan to review soon!
This has been an absolute life saver of a product and has helped me to feel so much better about my skin! The only issue now are those pesky acne scars, which I will be targeting next!
You can purchase the full set here. Or, you can get a 2 week trial kit here. I just want to point out that the two week trial kit is currently on sale for $5.99, how awesome is that?
If you would like to see some updated progress pictures, I can surely get you some! Just leave a comment or send an email!
