marmar says "Terrible!" about Proactiv Solution

marmar — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 01:49:43 GMT

Proactif will reduce the breakout intensity, but will do nothing to take care of already existing acne! It will dry skin out also, this ineffective product is also very expensive,

Yes proactif is very strong, it only burn and drys skin out!

For myself and so many others, I suggest a honey mask for a minium of an hour or overnight over your face, (1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 3 tablespoons of honey mix into a paste), Also in the morning wash with a mild cleanser, like a 2% saltilyc acid cleaser at strongest! When you get home from work or are winding down in the evening, use an olive oil exfoiliater(3 table spoons of salt, 4 tablespoons of olive oil), and let it sit for about 1 minute and then massage your face for about a minute, and rinse, yes the oil is hard to rinse off but it's worth it! Yes I know OIL! but trust me it works, I've had intense problem skin that JUST DID NOT GET CLEAR!

I hope this helps!

Also cut out dairy for 2 weeks because dairy can cause acne also

marmar says "It is not a good product!" about Head & Shoulders Dandruff Shampoo, Extra Volume

This product may smell great and leave your scalp feeling fresh. There is a catch, head and shoulders actually worsens dandruff( a fungus). It makes your scalp feel nice and flake free, but your dandruff will eventually come back worse and your scalp oily! Ask any educated hair dresser, they will tell you to stay clear of head and shoulders! If you trully have dandruff issues, see a doctor!

marmar says "A great product to an extent" about Biore Pore Unclogging Scrub

marmar — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 04:59:40 GMT

This is a great product! it has a fresh scent and cleans well! It does improve the feel of skin but it doesn't not get rid of break outs, it makes pimples and blackheads less visible by down sizing but does not do the job quite like it should. It may work for some people with mild acne but don't expect any miracles. It also is great for sensitive/dry skin it does not irritate or over dry! I suggest to try this product and see if it works for you.

marmar says "This is a terrible product for some!" about Clean & Clear Blemish Treatment 3 step system

marmar — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 04:49:06 GMT

I have tried this product, my skin was always fairly clear, I have breakouts on my cheeks, but nothing past that. I tried Advantage three step system, it made my skin dry! and I broke out! For extreme acne suffers I suggest looking at this product as an option only after you ask a dermatologist! For people with sensitive skin or mild acne, Do not try! It made my skin oily after also! It was by far the worst product I have used and I have used anywhere from biore, neutrogena, noxema, vichy etc, and many more! Tip: Spot treatments never work, with any product, it has to be your face as a whole!

marmar says "It made my skin feel fresh and clean!" about Biore Warming Anti Blackhead Cream Cleanser Salicylic Acid Acne Treatment

marmar — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 04:27:48 GMT

Yes it made my skin feel fresh and clean but it did nothing to improve my skin! it did not worsen my skin condition it just did not clear my skin up! I have minor breakout on my cheeks which are now cleared up due to a cleanser + mosturizer that works wonders for my skin! Unless you have perfect or almost perfect skin, this product will most likely do nothing for you!...

marmar says "It is a great product however......" about Cover Girl Smoothers Concealer

marmar — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 04:20:51 GMT

I love this product for numerous reasons, it glides on smooth and easy. It's a nice light make up and it feels fantastic. The neutralizer is the perfect shade for my complexion! although it is non-comedogenic(won't clog pores) I feel it tends to feel cakey and oily near the end of the day!I also feel as if it creates my cheeks to break out!, I've never had a problem with pimples! Warning to everyone it may work for some individuals, but use a really good cleanser like Vichy's normaderm cleansing gel! it's a great product that works! I still love this product, and I am still using it, I just have to use a really deep cleaning cleanser. I hope this review was helpful
