PharmacerispureRETINOL 0.3 Refining Retinol Dermo-Night Cream with Encapsulated Retinol, Reduces the Appearance of Imperfections and Wrinkles, For Oily & Combination Skin, 1.35 fl oz

Effective and like an oil so moisturizer

The Pharmaceris POINTGEL Spot Dermo-Gel is incredibly effective for tackling breakouts. The combination of 2% hydroperoxide, salicylic acid, and D-panthenol works well on oily and combination skin, helping to reduce blemishes quickly. I’ve noticed improvements within a few uses, and it definitely targets imperfections without being too harsh.That said, it is quite pricey for such a small bottle (0.34 fl oz). If you have frequent breakouts, it can run out fairly fast, which makes the cost feel a little high for the amount of product you get. Overall, it’s a solid product, but I wish it came in a larger size for the price

This salicylic acid acne cream is a nice easy option when you are dealing with pimples and other facial blemishes. I like that it is smooth and easy to apply. I do feel like the price may be a little bit high compared to drugstore prices, but we will see with time how effective it is. I do know that sometimes salicylic acid can be kind of drying on my face, so we will see if that is an issue too.

Peroxides are very good for destroying bacteria, particularly the sort of bacteria responsible for acne. Benzoyl peroxide has been a well-known ingredient in some OTC acne treatments, but this is the first time I’ve seen hydrogen peroxide specifically used for this purpose. The difference between benzoyl and hydrogen peroxides is that the benzoyl is more soluble in oil and will penetrate deeper into your pores, while hydrogen peroxide works mostly at the surface. Because hydrogen peroxide works at the surface, I find it to be far less drying and it doesn’t make my skin peel the way benzoyl peroxide does. This product also contains some salicylic acid, though the concentration is not specified. Salicylic acid is an anti-inflammatory, related to aspirin, and also aids in exfoliation. I personally don’t care for salicylic acid (a beta hydroxy acid) since it also tends to dry out my skin and make things worse. However, I didn’t notice a strong reaction from this product so it’s probably less than 2% salicylic acid, which is about the limit of my tolerance.This spot treatment comes in a small, metallic tube with the expiration date stamped into one end. This date is convenient because peroxides have a limited shelf life. The product is a clear gel that dispenses easily from the tube. Upon contact with my finger, I immediately noticed fine white bubbles coming from my skin, which is a familiar reaction that people who’ve used hydrogen peroxide from a brown bottle will recognize. I had a small blemish on my temple and so I applied some of this clear gel to the affected area after washing my face. I applied the gel two times in this manner, once in the morning and once at night. The following day the inflammation in the area had subsided and the blemish no longer appeared to be infected. I would say that a brief treatment with this 2% hydrogen peroxide gel stopped the blemish in its tracks. I would caution you that hydrogen peroxide can bleach materials, so be sure not to get it on things you care about, such as clothing and bedding.Overall, I highly recommend that you give this a try if you are looking for a different way to get small blemishes quickly under control. It seems to work as long as they’re superficial. I probably wouldn’t recommend this for large areas or with very infected blemishes, since those are better treated by a medical professional.

This night cream for your face is really nice. A little goes a long way. It says it is for t-zone oily skin and warns that temporary redness and flaking skin is a possibility so be sure that this is something that would work for your skin type. I am guessing, based on the warnings, that anyone with dry or normal skin should probably use caution as it may cause further drying of the skin. I tested a small amount on my hands and I love the way it feels. Because it has an alpha hydroxy acid, I didn't use it on the backs of my hands where I currently have dry skin patches but I did use it on my palms and around my fingers. It made my hands silky smooth and it smells good.

What caught my eye was the mandelic acid which is what I was looking for. Not many creams have it. It is perfect because I wanted an exforiating component to my night cream. This gently exfoliates but alsoso has other great ingredients that do not strip my face to the point that the top layer of my skin is damaged. You just need to apply a thin layer of the cream so it will last a long time. There are no negatives.

This works well but there isn't much in the tube and it's already a very small tube. I use this overnight and it helps reduce blemishes so they aren't as much of a glaring issue. The product doesn't irritate my skin at all and even though I don't need much I still can't imagine this is going to last very long.

I've only used it twice so far, but only had to apply a tiny dab in each instance and had a good result.
