Pixi Glow Tonic and Glow Mud Cleanser - Review

Pixi is now available in Estonia! Of course I had to get my hands on this cruelty-free brand from UK. I'm still struggling with acne (it won't go away!!) and I found out that glycolic acid helps skin cells renew faster and effectively removes dead skin cells. Maybe that would help my acne and acne scars heal faster. Also results include smaller pores, glowy and smoother skin, so why not?

While searching for a good toner I've come across the Pixi Glow Tonic many times and apparently it is one of those holy grail skincare products. In store the price is about 22€ for 250ml. The packaging is already so simple and bright and obviously cute. The Glow Tonic contains 5% glycolic acid and other natural and beneficial ingredients. And very important - it is alcohol free!! Then you just pour some on a cotton pad and swipe across your face. The toner doesn't dry out my skin, which is great. It is pretty gentle and actually reduced my skin's sensitivity, although this is exfoliating.

Check out where where this tonic stands compared to other Pixi tonics here.


I was also in need for a new cleanser. So in the hopes that this combo would beat my skin into glowy smooth Sun goddess, I got the Pixi Glow Mud Cleanser. This has the same price as the Glow Tonic. This cleanser has a muddy-creamy texture and a light earthy scent. Not a good make-up remover. When you rinse your face before applying this product, then a little product goes a long way. 


Now my skin's texture is a lot smoother and has this healthy glow. Breakouts have been smaller, but more frequent. I feel like these products don't really affect acne that much, although acne scars have been fading faster. My pores ares still pretty large, but that's from genes. Also I haven't had any problems with flaky skin anymore. I think the products are better for normal to oily skin, since they help with mattifying and the toner might be a bit harsh for sensitive skin. The Glow Tonic is really great and I think it works well if you want that glow and smoother skin. I think this toner is worth the money and I will repurchase this in the future. The Glow Mud Cleanser didn't really impress me. It was a good cleanser, but nothing speacial, so I wouldn't buy that again.

Overall, Pixi seems to be a great brand and I definitely want to try out their other products.

pHformula A.C. Recovery and P.O.S.T Recovery Cream - Review

Image
So I went to a cosmetologist for the first time in my life to seek help with my acne struggles and well facials alone don't fix the issue. She gave me these two products by a brand called pHformula. This brand's products can only be bought from a professional, who has a license to do their treatments and sell their products. Which means that these products are to support the skin after the treatments and between facials. As my cosmetologist said, the skincare regimen at home is a lot more important than facials, so if you can't afford facial treatments regularly, then invest in your skincare routine. A.C. Recovery is like a treament type of serum. It costs about 61€ and contains tons of acne-fighting ingredients including mandelic acid, niacinamide and salicylic acid. This special formula should help renew and support the skin while recovering. I have been applying this twice a day, at night I pump a tiny pea-sized amount for my entire face and in the morning I jus

Babe Facial Oil-Free Sunscreen SPF50+ Dry Touch - Review

Image
With long-awaited summer approaching, I thought it's only appropriate to write about sun protection. Sun is still extremely harmful for your skin, in case you forgot, and applying SPF daily is recommended for a reason. So if you don't want to look 20 years older in the next 10 years with wrinkles and dark spots, I'd suggest you get on it asap. I religiously apply SPF, so using one that is great for my acne-prone oily skin is of high importance. Babe Facial Oil-Free Sunscreen SPF 50+ Dry Touch  I always opt for and suggest buying SPF from a pharmacy, because most of the products sold are high quality and sensitive enough that they shouldn't cause any issues. This time I decided to try the Babe Facial Oil-Free Sunscreen SPF50+ Dry Touch. This sunscreen is also supposed to be water-resistant, colourant-free, hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested. The formula is enriched with soothing active ingredients and antioxidants (like vitamin E), so your skin should be happy. T

DMK Danne Alkaline Wash for acne scars- MY EXPERIENCE

Went to my regular facial treatment when my cosmetologist turned to me and said "What if we try alkaline wash for your acne scars?". Since my skin has been doing so much better lately and I didn't really have any active acne, so why not try something for my scarring. However this alkaline wash isn't exactly a relaxing treatment. It's gonna take about two weeks for my skin to fully heal, because this alkaline will cause burning sensation and sensitivity. She warned me that I might have to get blisters just like when you burn your skin. So it wasn't the most tempting offer, but I have many acne scars, so might as well try and get rid of them. Also right now is the best time for me as I can stay at home and not show my face. At first I couldn't really tell anything when she applied the alkaline, but later when she moisturized my face, ouch that was painful. For the rest of the day my face was a little tight and slightly red, but nothing too drastic. Few areas
