OTC Acne Solutions: Salicylic Acid 20% Gel Peel by Skin Laboratory

Salicylic Acid 20% Gel Peel, 100ml (Professional)Salicylic Acid is one of the most popular and effective anti-acne active ingredients in the market today. It's a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) which acts as both a keratolytic and comedolytic agent. As a keratolytic, it softens and loosens the keratin, a major component that makes up the outer layer of the skin. Loosening of keratin causes the top, usually dead layer of the skin to slough off and and allows new skin to surface.

As a comedolytic, it helps to dissolves the comedones (acne are comedones), open clogged pores, and allows the pores to "breathe" by allowing oxygen in. When oxygen gets inside the pores, it neutralizes the acne-causing bacteria, thereby eliminate the acne formation. Once the inflammation subsides, salicylic acid constricts the diameter of the pores, making them appear smaller.

This Salicylic Acid 20% Gel Peel, 30ml (Professional) banks on the effectiveness of salicylic acid. It promises to be an effective acne solution by completely treating acne, eliminating acne marks, reducing large pores, minimizing areas of discoloration, which helps to even out the skin tone--giving you a smooth, healthy and acne-free skin.

OTC Acne Solutions: Clarisonic Plus System & Spot Therapy Kit For Face and Body

This is what people is saying about Clarisonic Plus System & Spot Therapy Kit For Face and Body : "The Clarisonic Plus utilizes the same technology as the Sonicare toothbrush. It uses vibration to penetrate the surface level of the skin and provide a more thorough cleansing than with soap and water alone. I've used this system for 2+ weeks and noticed a difference in the texture and softness of my skin immediately. After 3 days, I saw a visible difference in the size of my pores and my skin has a glow that wasn't previously there...One benefit is that your skin care products will last longer if you are using the Clarisonic Plus. I find that I am using less cleanser, moisturizer, etc because my skin is cleaner and has fewer layers of dead skin cells so products are absorbed into the skin much better than before. For example, I apply a mask each week of bentonite clay and apple cider vinegar that normally warms and tightens as it dries on the skin. After using the Cla...

Natural Acne Solutions: Honey

It has been said that honey inside sealed Egyptian jars have remained unspoiled for thousands of years. This is because honey absorbs moisture, living no room for mold and bacteria to thrive and it also has antimicrobial properties, which prevents it from spoiling. During the early times, honey has been used to treat infected wounds and heal burns. Ancient Egyptians also used it for embalming the dead. Today, medical experts are rediscovering the potent antibacterial and antiseptic properties of honey. For those who suffer from acne, the word "antibacterial" is also almost synonymous to "anti-acne" because acne are skin inflammations that are most often caused by the bacteria trapped in the skin. And honey, being a natural antibacteria that it is, can indeed help in clearing up one's face with acne. However, not all honeys are the same. Maybe you've heard or read honey being termed as raw, comb, crystallized, etc. What you would want to use on your fac...
