Michael Todd True Organic: Blue Green Algae Toner

Last topic I reviewed about Kaolin clay mask from Michael Todd. This topic I would like to review toner as I ever promise in a short review.
The Blue Green Algae Toner is contained in Acne or Oily Skin Regimen Set. This product is clear water but smell like green tea and lavender (the smell is good I like this smell). When I apply on my face, I feel a little bit burn and cooling especially in acne area. I always drop 2-3 drops on cotton pad and put it on my red spot.   After use for 2 weeks I notice that my pimples are clear and redness circle are reduced and disappear.

How to use?

-          After washing your face, drop toner 2-3drops on cotton pad then wipe over face and neck gently. Then follow with moisturizer and serum.
-          If you have red spot, drop toner on clean cotton pad and put on red spot then leave on 5-10 minutes. After 2-3 days, the pimple will dry and redness will be cleared.

Michael Todd True Organic: Kaolin Clay Mask

A few months ago I was interest in organic product for my skin. I discovered Michael Todd on my local website. Michael Todd is the products from USA, there are cleanser, toners, mask, and serum. My favorite item is facial mask and toners. (I will review later for toner)   
  
I ordered Michael Todd: Acne or Oily Skin Regimen Set from website when I received and saw the products, I thought the price was reasonable with size and quantity.

I search about other review and some side effects then I know that this product will push the chemical and comedone under my skin, this process I call “detoxify”.

The Kaolin Clay Mask is a detoxifying facial mask cooling and detoxifying treatment. It is truly organic mask, texture and color looks like clay also smelling like clay. When I apply on my face on first 5 minutes, I feel my face is a lit bit burn and itchy and cooling. It’s normal because I already searched the effect that is the process of detoxify. 

After 90 days I check my skin and see that my pore look smaller and my skin face is brighter and smoother. I think the price the size and quality is reasonable and affordable.
You can order the product on official website,which's worldwide shipping.

After rid off comedone it’s sure that you will have dark scar from acne on your face. My favorite item to heal these scars is Hiruscar gel. This isn’t only use healing scar from operation or keloid scar. It’s clear gel and very gentle and also apply on your face and suit for any skin types even you have sensitive skin.

Differin gel (adapalene)

Differin gel(Adapalene) is a retinoid that works under the skin to unclog pores, clear the acne and help prevent future breakouts.
I always use Differin gel together with Benzac 2.5%. In the evening I use Banzac before wash my face, after I wash my face and apply toner then apply Differin gel only on acne area and leave it overnight.
 
Differin Gel should be applied to the acne affected areas once a day and after washing, avoiding the eyes and lips area. Ensure that the affected areas are dry before application.
By the way, Differin Gel have some side effect during you use Differin gel, your skin will get dry and peeling. Therefore you should apply moisturizes or face serum on day time. Remember!! Differin gel should be use only once a day.
In first 6-8 weeks you will see there are more acne appears on your face that means Differin is pushing comedone under your skin. Therefore please be patient in this process for the best result in the future. This effect just occurs in short time and a few cases.
 Before use Differin gel please consult with dermatologist to assess your skin type especially sensitive skin.

Benzac AC gel



Benzac AC gel is the product from Australia, in my acne’s experience it’s the one of the best item to rid off acne.

How do I know Benzac?

  I had a problem about Comedone because of make up and cosmetics. When I went to see Dermatologists, they recommended me to use Benzac together with their treatment. The result takes time about 3months that very satisfied me, even I don’t go to see Dermatologists. Now I still use Benzac and it’s my favorite item. I think it’s really work to kill pimple.You can find Benzac at drug store near your house, the price isn’t expensive (there are 2 strength available in drug store 2.5%and5%).

Ingredient active is Benzoyl peroxide that helps unblock pore and kill acne bacteria within 48 hours.

Benzac AC is available in 3 different strength gels (2.5%, 5%,10%) but in Thailand store have only 2.5%and 5% and only available from drug store and it’s important that you have to discuss with your pharmacist which strength of Benzac AC will best suit you. In my opinion 2.5% and 5% aren’t difference. 

How to use it?

1.Wash your face with a mild skin cleanser and water then gently pat skin dry.

2.Apply a thin film of Benzac AC Gel on your face except eye and mouth area, leaving on the skin for 10-15 minutes is enough because you will feel burn on your face. In first time usage, you should leave on your face about 5 minutes or as long as you can, then washing off with water then gently pats skin dry.

3.After washing your face doesn’t forget to apply moisturizer which won’t clog pores.
After 7 days, if there is no skin peeling or redness, you can apply Benzac AC Gel twice a day, morning and night but I think once a day is enough. The period that you will need to use Benzac AC Gel will depend on how quickly your condition improves.
