Hi everyone,
First of all I would like to apologize for my lack of activity this week, I am up to my eyes in school work and revision (and will be for a while to come) so it feels like I've not even had time to sit down, let alone blog! But, saying all that, I have a review for you of a product which has been a huge help to me lately.
As I'm sure I have mentioned plenty of times, I suffer from really blemish prone skin, mainly bought on by hormones and stress; it honestly makes a huge difference to my mood depending on how my skin is behaving, so I have tried my fair-share of spot treatments, and finally, I have found one that really works for me!
Say hello to Vichy's Normaderm Hyaluspot, a clear gel product that I apply after washing my face beofre hoping into bed. It is packed full of spot fighting ingredients like hyaluronic acid and antibacterial salicylic acid + LH, which I feel have been really helping. It's billed as being `invisible` however it is noticeable on the skin, but I must say this isn't an issue for me considering I am just going to bed. The scent reminds me of green tea for some reason, I have no idea if that has any basis, but it does! I like the applicator as well- it applies just the right amount of product and seems perfectly hygienic. I find it gives a slightly uncomforable tingly sensation after it's applied, but it's nothing I can't take- and I am prepared to live with that because of the benefits!
So basically, the reason I'm so fired up by this product is that when I wake up, the blemishes I have applied it to are noticeably smaller, less red and less painful- even from the first use! After using this a few nights in a row, they will have totally gone. I have found it most effective on spots that are about to come up, in a sense `nipping them in the bud`. My only criticism is that it leaves the skin around the spot super dry, I have found my concealer clinging (never a good look) to these patches, but i have found using a moisturizer and actually skipping concealer fixes the problem. This costs £10.50, pricier than some treatments but still noticeably cheaper than the likes of Origins- and worth every penny!
I hope this review was helpful- it's fab to find a product that really lives up to it's claims!

Have you tired this product? What is your favorite spot treatment?
Sounds good, and it is cheaper that the likes of oragins and stuff like you said!

It's fab! x
DeleteGreat review and product. I used Normaderm for a while a few years ago and it really helped my skin. I haven't tried this particular one was it wasn't available back then, but I can understand why it's drying - it's pretty normal for something with the salicylic acid in it. Hope your skin heals quickly and then you can just soften those dry areas with a bit of good moisturiser. x
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed it :) + Thanks for the tips! x
Deletestill need to try this out, i love the vichy and La Roche Posay products!
