Burt's Bee Natural Acne Solutions Targeted Spot Treatment review

I LOVE THIS!!! I've tried a lot of acne treatment products but this is definitely the best that I've ever tried. This is my 3rd bottle!!!

 

 

This is 100% NATURAL (Natural Products Association certified). I love the fact that it is natural :D

It is a acne treatment that contains salicylic acid(0.75%) derived naturally from willow bark extract which contains natural beta hydroxy acids, which acts as a skin exfoliator to help unclog pores.

It is also formulated with Tea Tree, Calendula, Yarrow, and Parsley Extracts to help calm and reduce redness while Borage Extract promotes healthy skin.

 

 

what it claimed

- Clinically proven to help reduce the appearance of blemishes in 48 hours

- Non-irritating

- Soothes skin and reduces redness

- Noncomedogenic

 

It basically does what it claimed but for the "48hours", it depends on the acne. For huge and cystic acnes, it might need much longer time. For my own experiences, huge and cystic acnes took up to 1 week to disappear, sometimes longer. For normal acnes or pimples, it will takes 2-3days. ANYWAY, the important point is IT WORKS! (well, for me, hehe, everyone is different)

I had sensitive and serious acne skin problems and I tried so many products, some worked for a little while, some even make my skin worst! but this works the best so far!

Yuan soap and this spot treatment were the main products that helped me to get rid of my horrible acnes!

 

It does not make my skin dry so I can actually apply this right before my makeup and it wont cause any effect such as cakey or makeup doesn't stick on to my skin. It absorbs super quick!

*oh, don't use cotton swabs to apply this, use your clean fingertip or else you'll waste the product!*

 

Ingredients:

Active Ingredient: Salicylic Acid (0.75%) Inactive Ingredients: alcohol denat., citrus medica limonum (lemon) peel oil, water, calendula officinalis flower extract, achillea millefolium (yarrow) extract, borago officinalis (borage) extractcarum petroselinum (parsley) extract, foeniculum vulgare (fennel) fruit oil, salix nigra (willow) bark extract, melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) leaf oil, eucalyptus globulus leaf oil, juniperus communis fruit oil.

 

Price: RM78 at Burt's Bee store (Price might be different at Sephora, I bought it at RM69 but not sure if they increased the price recently because Burt's Bee store increased the price to RM78 from RM68)

 

Repurchase? Definitely!!! 5STARS for this!

Averine Cover Spot review

          I experienced severe acne about a year+ ago. I was introduced to use Averine Cover Spot when I had facial treatment at Aster Spring. I was satisfied with the coverage when the staff applied the concealer on my super red face right after my treatment. I asked her that is it ok to apply this right after my treatment, she said yes and this concealer will even help the healing. I bought it right away (plus it was on sale, discount RM25!)!

 

 

Averine Cover Spot claimed to be able to:
- cover marks
-boost up acne healing while aiding in blemish clearing.

shade: medium

It's great that it contains salicylic acid to help prevent breakout and inflammatory. so it is actually a 2-in-1 concealer that covers and at the same time helps to heal acnes! The best part, it won't clog my pores which means I won't get more acnes from this! I tried many makeup to cover my acnes, they just make things worst.

It's coverage is light to medium. It is buildable where I can layer it until I have the maximum coverage I wanted. it is great to cover redness and blemishes. It has a creamy texture which means it won't turn cakey..

 

finishing 2nd stick~~~ ^^

 

my backup~ since they are on sale, so I get two as my backup :p

 

 

 

Price: RM68  

**UPDATE 12 June 2015

Last month (May 2015) I went to Aster Spring and the price has already increased to RM72

 

available at Aster Spring.

Review on Yuan soap -- Mung Bean & Job's Tear and Purple Gromwell & Roselle

As this is my first product review, I decided to write on the product that I loved and trusted the most currently--- Yuan soap. Yuan soap is from Taiwan, they are natural and 100% free from artificial fragrances and colours. As a bonus, they are handmade!  Ah Yuan started to make soap when he was around 40years old as he experienced skin sensitivity. There are 5 series- flower, seed, tree, herb and special. There are more than 20 soaps. I started to use Yuan soap few months ago, I think it was around early July. This is also my first time using totally natural soap. I fell in love with it! For now, I have tried 2 only, and I can’t wait to try others!

I have tried one of the seed series, Mung Bean & Job’s Tear soap and now I’m using Purple Gromwell & Roselle soap which is one of the herb series. I’m satisfied with both soaps.

One piece of soap can last 1month or maybe more! The key of storing it is that you have to store it away from water, try to keep it dry when you are not using it or else it will melt fast! I chopped it into 6 small cubes, it will last longer as I’ll just put 1 into my container and the rest stay dry until I need them.

chopped them into 6 little cubes :D

 

lather up quite well too :D

 

Review for Mung Bean & Job’s Tear

 

 

My reasons for buying this were because it claimed to deep cleanse, brighten skin tone, remove daily makeup, suitable for people that always use makeup and expose to sun. Well, I apply makeup almost every day, exposed to sun quite a lot and I have serious acne problem and  acne scarring so I thought I should give it a try to deep cleanse my face every day and brighten my skin as I have quite lot of acne scars.

For the first few days, I experienced breakout when using this but then I thought that as it supposed to deep cleanse so maybe it’s deep cleansing my clogged pores and all the dirt, etc were coming out and my skin was probably adjusting itself to new skincare. So I kept on using it. Lucky that I did give it a chance and keep using it, breakout stopped and my acne and acne scars reduced a lot. It did brighten my skin! My redness problem also reduced quite a lot! At first, I felt that the smell was too strong, and I personally don't like herbs scent but after a few days, I started to get use to it, and now, I kind of like it.

Ingredients: Olive (Olea Europaea) Oil, Mineral Water, Mung Bean (Phaseolus Radiatus) Powder, Job’s Tears (Coix Lacryma) Seed Extract, Clove ( Eugenia Caryophylata) Oil, Cinnamon (Cinnamomum Cassia) Oil.

 

Price: RM27.90

Rating: definitely 5 stars!

 

Review for Purple Gromwell & Roselle soap

 

 

 

 After I finished my Mung Bean & Job’s Tear soap, I decided to try another one. This time I chose this because it claimed to detoxify and suitable for pimple-proned skin, and clogged pores which will give you blackheads and whiteheads. After I’ve cleared most of my stubborn acne, I thought I should work on those blackheads especially on the nose area and whiteheads where I have most at my jawline.

I experienced the same situation, for the first few days, it break me out but it’s just some tiny pimples. I was totally fine with it as it’s working and adjusting itself. After that my skin back to normal. Yes, I still have pimples sometimes, it’s totally normal because everyone will have pimples here and there sometimes plus with my daily makeup. But it’s not like how my skin used to be, they are not huge acne anymore, now, they are just small pimples which can be disappeared quite easily. For this soap, I didn’t notice any skin brightening effect, instead, I noticed that my blackheads reduced a lot! My redness is also still under control J

 

Ingredients:Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Water, Coconut (Cocos Nucifera) Oil, Sodium Hydroxide, Lithospermum Officinale Root Extract, Hibiscus Sabdariffa Flower Extract, Verbena Officinalis Leaf Extract, Pogostemon Cablin Oil, Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil

 

Price: RM 27.90

Rating: 5stars!

 

I highly recommend Yuan soap, I mean its 100% natural and free from those harsh chemicals, how bad can it be! Especially for those with skin problems that bothered you for a long time ( I totally understand that feeling :'( ), why don't give it a try.
