Review: Neutrogena On-The-Spot Acne Treatment

Hi guys! I'm so excited because this will be my very first review ever. :) And I am hoping for more to come.
Anyways, before the review, I would like to say that my skin is not perfect. It was, 3 years ago, but because of of hormones and stress, my face became a fucking war zone. Well, I'm kinda overreacting. But that is how i see it. I have oily skin, big pores on my nose area, and the inevitable dark marks. Oh my God, how I hate this. Good thing I do not have any pitted marks. 

But my war against acne has been raging for 3 years now, and I keep on looking for products that could eliminate this pesky pimples.
And this where Neutrogena On-The-Spot Acne Treatment came to rescue.








PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
On-the-Spot® Acne Treatment is a spot acne treatment that provides maximum-strength results without drying out your face. It goes deep down in pores to kill the acne bacteria that cause pimples and helps stop new ones from forming.

Some medicated spot treatments contain high doses of Benzoyl Peroxide that can irritate skin, causing redness and dryness that can make acne worse. On-the-Spot® Acne Treatment contains just 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide, yet it provides the same maximum level of effectiveness with 70% less irritation.

Fight acne and get maximum-strength results with an acne spot treatment that won't dry out your face.

  • Oil-free
  • Non-comedogenic (won't clog pores)
  • 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide
PROS:
  • Didn't dry out the areas where I applied it.
  • Doesn't have any smell
  • Dries out my pimples
  • Didn't irritate my skin


CONS: 
  • I think it is not available locally.
WHAT I THINK:

True to their slogan, TOUGH ON ACNE EASY ON YOUR SKIN, this spot treatment I think is the best one I tried so far. I used OXY the first time but it dried out my skin so bad. I looked like i have combination skin because I am oily but i had dry patches on my cheeks where my acne is. ( I know, bad luck to have pimples there. :| ) So I was really searching for another spot treatment then I stumbled on this one. 
Bad thing is that it is not available here in the Philippines. So I asked my aunt to buy it in Singapore where she is currently residing. 

I had a humongous pimple on my forehead and it was gone after religiously applying for 2 days, every night.   
So that is my review for my current favorite acne treatment. :) Feel free to comment below and share your acne tips. Cause I too really need it. :)

Ciao for now lovelies! ♥

Summer Fail.

Long time no post huh? I scheduled this vacation for more blog posts but because of my infuriating laziness, NO POST. Tomorrow will be the start of my summer duty, so I won't let this day past without any post or whatever.

I decided to do reviews on products that I purchased and used. Beauty blogs have been a big source of information and help to me. I love reading the reviews and trying new stuff. So this will be the introduction. :)

Anyways, if you guys are asking about my 1 week summer vacation + Holy week ( that equals to 2 weeks obviously, pinahaba ko lang. Teehee. ), it was okay. I didn't go to the beach or out of town because of my Finals's schedule. Poor me. My Titas went to Caramoan actually. And let me tell you, based on their stories and their pictures, it was soooo beautiful there. Walang wala daw ang Boracay. 

AHHHHHHH lalo tuloy akong nainggit ! HAHAHA

Here are some of the pics. Courtesy of their friend/travel buddy/photographer Kuya Ron. :)











My sexy Titas. Tita Marj, Tita Hazel, Tita Karla and Tita Kenneth. 


This is my Tita Marj. She is like my second mom. Like my Mom, she works abroad. She works as a accountant in Singapore. :)









Don't wanna elaborate on this photos because I'm not physically there, and I'm still a little bit bitter. Anyways, Caramoan is just one of the most beautiful islands here in the Philippines and how I wish I can visit it someday. :) WHICH I WILL. Period.
