Post Grad Pizza Face

My name is Caroline, I'm 23 and I have acne.

I've had skin issues since the 7th grade.

You name it, I've tried it.

Proactive, topical gels, topical creams, oral meds, birth control, tanning bed. 

It has been an ongoing battle, and let me tell you sometimes a disheartening one. 

And then, Clarisonic.

I had always heard people raving about the Clarisonic brand and everytime mom and I went to Origins for her face creams and goodies they always had them spotlighted. Thanks to an Ulta 30% off sale and coupons, I decided to indulge my curiosity and give Clarisonic a try.

I got the Acne Clarifying Collection, which includes the Acne Brush Head and Acne Daily Clarifying Cleanse. 

Now, I'll be completely honest with you about two things regarding Clarisonic:

1) You have to be patient. The first two weeks are the break-in phase, your face is getting use to it and then you'll start to see results.

2) You do not have to use the Clarisonic cleanse, when I ran out of the sample bottle they send you I went right back to my face wash and saw great results! 

Since my skin has been looking so great the amount of make-up I wear has slowly dwindled, which is the best feeling! Instead of using a foundation/cover-up/BB cream, powder, power blush every day I now throw on some light weight powder, cream blush, and go! 

I'm now hyper sensitive to what make-up I use since I don't want to upset my face and Neutrogena has helped me with that. 

Their Skin Clearing Mineral Powder is wonderful! 

It does a great job of covering up any imperfections or blemish spots all while giving you a fresh face look.

And believe me after caking on make-up to hide problem spots since age 15 this is great!

So that's my two cents when it comes to clear skin. It's not much and I probably won't be staring in any face wash ads anytime soon, but when you've had problems like I have any advice you can pass along to others you do!
