Dr. Jart Cicapair Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment



 Its kind of hard to categorize what this Cicapair color correcting treatment is as it calms the skin, is like a light concealer, and has some moisturizing properties as well as it also acts like a primer. Oh, and it has SPF 30! I've had a sample of the tiger grass cream, and I wasn't wow by it, but I've heard this color correcting one was good for redness so I ended up getting the full size one. I am pleasantly surprised at how good this product works. While its not a miracle worker, it does immediately reduce any irritation on my skin, reduce the appearance of redness, and it even hides the appearance of my pores so I have a more flawless-like look to my skin. For a product to do so much I can't highly recommend this enough.



 Its $52 for a 1.7 fl. oz jar. It will take me many months to go through this jar as a little can go a long way. It took me a couple weeks just to clear the product that was on the lid which was like a teaspoon and a half amount. The cream is practically odorless which is a plus. It does has a pale green color to it which is good to negate the redness. Once you massage the cream to your face it will turn to a skin color. My skin is light in tone and I have no issues with the color of it being off at all. The color isn't strong so it won't really replace foundation and concealer. You don't really feel it on the skin so its not heavy feeling at all either.

 Definitely exfoliate if you have patchy dry skin areas. This cream won't look good on those areas, and it will soothe your skin after exfoliating. This cream has helped me when I was using an irritating acne treatment wash. Definitely recommend this or any of the cicapair products if you are using any skin treatments that is irritating.

 Since it has SPF I can only use this in the daytime. Direction says to use this after toner and serum. It says it has herb complex that moisturize and strengthen skin, and mineral solution and panthenol to replenish skin's moisture barrier. Since its winter, I do not find this to be moisturizing enough so I do still use a moisturizer as well. Perhaps in the summer I can be fine with just this as my moisturizer. When that time comes I will try to remember to update this to see how it does on my oily skin on those hot humid days. Overall, I do recommend this treatment cream!

Origins Modern Friction

I got a sample of this product that lasted me for about a month. I didn't expect much out of it because they said its gentle, but it actually works pretty well. I ended up buying the full size after I finished it.

The product is a thick cream with rice bits which is nice since I rather have a natural exfoliator than some plastic beads. The directions advise that you put it on a dry face so its not something you want to do in the shower. But you can use a bit of water if it gets too rough. They also say you can use water to work up a lather after scrubbing dry. It definitely feels gentler than the drugstore apricot scrubs and you will have to use more than a quarter size amount since its not easy to spread the product on your face as it would dry out too much. It has a mild citrus and floral smell that I think its suppose to be a therapeutic  element to the product. One warning I would advise to not to get the product in your eyes as it will sting. So please be sure to rinse the eye area well before opening your eyes.

Overall, I really like this product and would recommend it. Its gentle enough to use almost everyday and it has made my skin look brighter and even my pores look a little less huge. It definitely helped with smoothing out the skin and diminishing acne scars.

Olay Regenerist Microdermabrasion & Peel System

I heard good reviews on this product and have decided to purchase it. Since scrubs and exfoliating cleanser don't do much for me, I needed a microdermabrasion to keep my skin in check. I learned from this book that if I don't feel warmth when I press my fingertips under my eyes that I need to exfoliate. Regular scrubs don't do enough for my blackheads and acne scars.

What I really like about this product is that it's two steps. First step is the derma crystal scrub. In comes in a tub and its really bright orange. The instructions say to use on a dry face, but I like using it in the shower so the heat will open up my pores. Facing away from the shower-head of course. The scrub is alot rougher than regular exfoliants, but its not too stripping unless you're harsh with it. This is what I want in a scrub cause it really feels like it will rid the dead skin away. The second step is peel activator serum that comes in a bottle with a little hole in the cap. The serum is clear and contains lactic acid. Like all peels, this step will burn a bit especially if you were rough with the first step. However the burn is very temporary. Unless its your first time ever doing a peel, it may irritated your skin so I suggest being gentle and don't use the product for too long. Over time you won't ever feel the burn in the second step.

Overall, I find this to be a really amazing product for the price. It leaves my skin super smooth and my pores are clearer and smaller. I've used this product for months and have bought another set since the one I'm using is about to run out.
