Assalamualaikum,
So yeah, this product has been with me all this time, it's one of those "accidental purchase" I've made as love asked me to be hurry with my purchase, I was supposed to buy the Oxy colorless gel, instead I got the flesh-toned cream.
This has 10% Benzoyl Peroxide, it says here that it's an odourless and greaseless cream that helps to kill acne, dry up excessive oil and unclog broken pores.
So okay, I have to remind you that if you are okay with benzoyl peroxide, you SHOULD not, NEVER EVER switch to SALICYLIC ACID, another acne-pimple medication. Everytime I have acne breakouts, I always have this as my go-to acne medication, but somehow at the start of the year, I kinda got a bit daft and decided to buy another acne medication with SALICYLIC ACID, let me tell you this, it DOESN'T EVEN HELP my current acne breakout, it fires up more breakout!
What a waste of money, I might give this to my brother as he's a neutral and does not react to salicylic acid. All products shall not go to waste! Though I find that all the things I bought, I usually stuck to it until I've finished it. Maybe I should post one of those "Empty products of the month" posts eh? Not that I currently have any finished products right now, I know sheet masks don't count! LOL
So here's what the product looks like, as far as odourless goes, I don't think the smell of antiseptic is actually odourless, but I can say that is is greaseless, I think it dries up any excessive oil because when you pat and blend it into your problem area, it creates this matte look, though patchy cuz you're not allowed to wear this as a foundation then apply it all over your face, believe me, I've tried it and irritates my non-problematic areas! So you need to blend it out to match it to your skintone, though I will only use this when I'm at home or use it as my nightcare routine.
So back to my story, with too many acne breakouts in the month of January 2012, I know I should do something! So I decided to switch back to Oxy's cream, and what do you know, WORKS LIKE A CHARM, I tell you! It somehow cools down my breakout in just a few hours.
A repurchase? DEFINITELY!

Great review. :) I use something similar to this by Clearasil, and I love that there's a bit of a tint to it. I wonder if the product you use is available in the States. :P

I don't know if it's available in the States, but I hardly think so. I've never seen beauty bloggers from the States having review this or even have this in their hauls, hee :D
DeleteI don't think you'll love the tint, it's much yellow-toned that you can't pass this up as a concealer.
I'll have to give this baby a try...I too suffer from monthly breakouts...thanks for sharing hun xoxo
ReplyDeleteyou're welcome! please make sure that you test this baby first, because 10% benzoyl peroxide might be too strong, ehehe, but anyways, happy trial! :D
