Skincare Review : Clariderm Astringent in #3

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

I've actually been using this for 2 months now, I've had it before a few years ago and I decided to stop using it as at that time I don't know all about skincare and I thought this product is way too harsh for my skin. But as time went on, my blemishes are becoming more and more prominent, I decided that  I should actually try this again so for B$1.95, I won't be missing a lot.

I bought the Oily-skin version, and it has the number 3, there's actually the Dry Skin version and Normal Skin version, but I think these are according to the strength of the astringent itself, but I'd definitely try out the Dry Skin version, for regular use because this version is a bit too strong for daily use.

The main ingredient of this astringent is Glycol Acid and Salicylic Acid, I was afraid of the fact that I had problems with Salicylic Acid, it would give me break outs, but fortunately, it didn't so I wonder why I cannot tolerate with Salicylic Acid products except this. I heard Glycol Acid is related to skin-peeling action and yes, it peels your outer skin.

Look, the before and after pictures, it's dirtier in real-life than in the picture but the first week I used this, the amount of dirt is even more in abundance as the color that I got after applying this all over my face (except for my undereyes) is pretty much greyish-black, and after weeks of using this, the color becomes less and less so I assume that this astringent is very deep-cleansing.

A week after using this, my skin was so dry that it peeled off and my current moisturizing routine at that time didn't work out for me as my routine was for light moisturizing and what I need was HEAVY moisturizing routine.

At first, I try to layer on my moisturizer, build it up to 3 layers, but it didn't work, I was using Essence's Pure Skin Moisturizer. Then, I tried Bio Oil, at first I was happy because with just a few drops, the Bio Oil really helped me moisturized my face completely, no dry patches, but what I hated was that it broke me out so I stopped using it after I purchased Simple's Moisturizer. Now, no pimples and my blemishes fade with the help of this astringent and the Fair and Lovely face cream.

I'd definitely repurchase this as I'm currently running out of this baby. Gonna buy the Dry Skin and Oily Skin versions.
