Proactiv Refining Mask Review

Proactiv Refining Mask Review

What the Company claims: Proactiv Refining Mask

A good cleansing milk and moisturizer can keep your skin clean and well-hydrated. But sometimes the skin needs something extra, a bit of pampering occasionally. Moreover, if you happen to have a sensitive and pimple-prone skin, then it gets even more important for you to take special care of your skin.

Proactiv Refining Mask provides pampering that an oily, pimple-prone and sensitive skin needs. The facial mask acts as an acne treatment skin care product as it contains elements such as sulphur that effectively fights acne causing bacteria. The active ingredient in it absorbs excess oil, reduces the appearance of pore size, pacifies redness and improves the skin texture. It also works well on stubborn blackheads and whiteheads. Regular application of this facial mask will give your skin a smooth and radiant effect.

For best results, use it after Proactiv Renewing Cleanser and apply the Revitalizing Toner and moisturizer after washing-off the Proactiv Refining Mask. You can also make use of this mask as an over-night pimples treatment.

MRP: Rs.600/- for 70g

Directions:

It comes in a normal white tube packaging..and is like a thick cream in texture..this thing is magic for people who suffer from breakouts !

It smells strongly of sulphur..I am a combination skin.and when used as a mask all over, its a little drying..though it tightens the pores and they appear smaller in size and mattifies the skin..I need a moisturiser over this..

But when used as an overnight pimples treatment, I have never seen anything better in life !! To sum up in one line, if you suffer from breakouts, this will be your BFF !

It works like magic..truly..I got a small zit..and in one night it was totally shrunk with no redness..and after second night, there is no trace of it at all..

Those who suffer from a lot of acne I think it would work great for them as a mask..and more so along with the entire Proactiv kit..

Pros:

1. Does what it claims.
2. Works like magic on pimples.
3. Easy to carry around.
4. Its expensive..but when used only on zits you hardly need a little amount..and 70g would last really long.

Cons:

1. Available online only.
2. They have Rs,150/- additional shipping and handling.
3. Has parabens.

Overall I would say its an amazing product..why did’nt I find you earlier Refining Mask ?! :p For those of you with oily- combination or acne prone skin, this is going to be your BFF ! Go Grab it..

Fab India Clove Acne Control Cream Review


I don’t suffer from acne…but I do get 1-2 of it during that ‘time’ of the month..and sometimes during exams..coz of stress and improper sleep and diet..it immediately shows up on my face..
I got this Fab India Acne Control Cream 2-3 months back…

What the Company claims : Made with a unique formula using the antiseptic properties of clove oil and tea tree oil, this light whipped cream helps control pimples, acne and blemishes. It also revitalizes and stimulates the cellular activity of skin. Recommended for oily skin but suitable for all skin types.

MRP: Rs 225/- for 100 ml

Key Ingredients: Purified water, Clove oil, Tea tree oil, Allantoin and Cedarwood oil.

Directions for use : Wash face with lukewarm water. Apply cream on affected areas and gently rub in. for best results, use twice a day.

Its very light yellow in color…has gel like texture and a strong clove smell…and the moment you apply it..be mentally prepared…IT STINGS !! :p And the strong clove smell would also burn your eyes a bit. But that goes after 4-5 mins,

But nevertheless it does work on acne,clears it up without leaving marks. I apply it at night after washing my face with the Fab India Tea Tree Facewash

Pros:
1. Does what it claims..controls and helps clear up acne.
2. Has a light texture and gets absorbed in the skin…its to be rubbed in for 1-2 mins.
3. Does not leave behind acne marks.
4. Packed with a cap.

Cons:
1. Comes in a glass jar.
2. All ingredients not mentioned.
3. Has a strong clove smell.
4. It stings…so people with sensitive skin better stay away.
5. Expensive at Rs 225/- as this much qty is not required and they should come up with smaller pack.

Would I buy it again: No…this will last till October 2011…and I know I am not even gonna finish this up..most of the times I run away from this as it stings :p And I also use a lotion called Erytop which works equally for me.
