Acne Killers

I've been fighting pimples since I could remember. It seems like it will be with me forever. No way! When will I have that flawlessly no bump skin?!? That is why I'm always on the look out for acne killer. I just call it that way since I need something that can eradicate the acne I have (lol!).

I have been using the Skin Food Tea Tree Essence as my moisturizer and acne killer. But when that day I run out of it, I have to look for an alternative one to use before I could get another one of it. Since I don't buy at the local Skin Food store (overly-priced) so I have to wait from a pre-order spree which takes a month :( Good thing my good friend Jacque gave me her Johnson & Johnson Clean and Clear Active Clear Acne Control Speed Gel.

• The 4th step in the JnJ Clean and Clear Active Clear Acne Control Kit regime and it has powerful spot formula that penetrates deep in the pores to help visibly reduce acne symptoms fast.

• Oily- free and non-comedogenic

My say:

Performance: 4/5 stars

Packaging: 4/5 stars

Price: 2/5 stars

I have been using this for almost two weeks and I'm happy to say that this help in reducing my acne. But it does not work overnight. It took 2-3 days to flatten my acne. It does dry out the pimple and keep them from growing back :) On the sad note, it gave me flaky skin around the infected area and it sting :( A bit of itchiness but not that much. This come in a 5g tube. Yeah it's small but since it's for those bumps only I think it will last long unless of course you have many bumps to take care of like me. My problem with the packaging is that the product can splurt out. It can mean some wastage :( This is part of the Johnson & Johnson Clean and Clear Active Clear Acne Control Kit. This is not sold separately (I wish they would).

But when I ran out of my JnJ spot gel, I needed another one. Since it isn't sold separately, I looked for another brand. Good thing I spotted Eskinol Dermaclear C Overnight Pimple Gel.

• It has Dermaclear C that fights pimple-causing bacteria
• It contains Salicylic Acid that dries up pimples fast.

My say:

Performance: 4/5 stars

Packaging: 4/5 stars

Price: 5/5 stars

I spotted this when I was doing my grocery. I have always known this but I think I always snob it back then :( Good thing I came to my senses and gave this a chance in my beauty arsenal for this works :) Same like the JnJ it does dry out pimples, takes also 2-3 days to flatten it, gives my flaky skin around the infected area and it sting also. However this really makes me itch like crazy on the same area. But it will subside after a few seconds. But no skin rashes or irritation overall :) Same packaging and problem as well with the JnJ. But the price is a total knockout! Php 99 for a 10ml tube. It is indeed a great buy for me :)

Both really works great on drying out my pimples. But they can be irritating upon application but after a few seconds the irritation will subside. Initial reaction perhaps. These are good acne killers. And both contains salicylic acid as their main ingredient :)

So what's your acne killer? Hmmm... Happy weekend :)
