For those with cystic acne like me, you know what a mess one of these particular blemishes can make of your face. When I was given the opportunity by Butterly and PanOxyl to try PanOxyl’s PM brightening patches for post acne care, I jumped at the opportunity in hopes these patches would help to fade the redness that cystic acne can leave behind.
I had a few spots I could’ve tried the patches on, but I didn’t want to use the patches on all of them in case they made matters worse. I focused on one spot left from a big pimple that had since dried up that left behind an unsightly red mark on my face. I followed the instructions, placing a patch on the spot overnight for the next 10 days to see if these patches could fade the red spot. The patches are circular and are big enough to fit over spots left by big pimples. You could probably wear them during the day without an issue because they aren’t really noticeable, but PanOxyl says to wear them overnight. They stuck on well and stayed stuck until I peeled them off in the morning. I didn’t see much of an improvement after 3 days as PanOxyl stated, but I did see a marked improvement after using the patches for 10 days. I also like that they didn’t seem to dry out my skin, but seemed to smooth it out. Another thing I like is what these patches don’t have: no fragrances, parabens, latex, or dyes. If you have sensitive skin and/or are allergic to latex, you should find that these won’t irritate your skin. I have sensitive skin, in my own right, and these patches didn’t cause me any sort of issue.
I would most definitely buy more of these as part of my post-acne care regimen and I would also recommend these patches to friends and loved ones. As those who suffer with acne can attest, bad acne and the mess it leaves behind often affects one’s self-esteem. That’s why patches like these can be so vital to those who suffer with acne, because it helps to fade the signs of breakouts, so we can hold our heads high again. If you or someone you love suffers with acne and its after effects, I highly recommend giving these PanOxyl PM brightening patches a try. I hope this review has helped you to make the purchasing decision that is right for you!

I've been using Revlon PhotoReady Primer for a couple of weeks now. I started using a primer because I've been noticing some redness around my nose and wanted to balance out my complexion. I have used Revlon's PhotoReady Foundation and liked it quite a lot, so I decided to try the Primer, too. It is pretty costly for a drugstore brand, but you get a lot of product...I could never use the entire bottle in three month's time. I do find that it works quite well to balance out the colour of my complexion...the red around my nose isn't noticeable when I wear it nor are my freckles. My problem with this primer is that it feels tacky to the touch...it's not the type of product that you can put on your face and forget about...you are constantly aware of it. So, if you do use it, use as little as possible and make sure you wear a good moisturizer underneath. This primer isn't something I'd use every day because I do find it too heavy for me, but it is good for those special occasions when you want to look your very best. -
