Pair Acne Cream W

If you’ve tried salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide and you’re looking for something less drying and more soothing, try this.

Honestly one of the best spot treatments I’ve ever used. Comes out of the tube clear but transparent on the skin. Helps reduce swelling and redness of under the surface breakouts with 3% of this anti-inflammatory ingredient called ibuprofen piconol or IPPN. I actually hadn’t heard of this ingredient until using this product but whatever is in it; it’s working really well. It’s also suspended in plenty of fatty alcohols so it’s non-drying unlike traditional spot treatments that utilize salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. It’s also really affordable.

I didn’t have high expectations for whatever reason but it blew me away how quickly it worked for lightening hyperpigmentation from acne scarring. I would say that it worked as well as the Prequel Lucent-C but it was more oily like the Common Heir Vitamin C serum. Not sticky, pleasant citrusy scent. No stinging.

Namerakahonpo Wrinkle Eye Cream

A good daily eye cream that moisturizes and works as an active wrinkle preventative without breaking the bank.

Bought this on a whim because I live near a few sources to get Japanese skincare. Its creamy but lightweight and doesn’t pill or cause issues with irritation or milia for me. Claims to help with reducing fine lines from the fermented soy bean but that’s not a huge concern with me to begin with so I cannot common on the efficacy in that regard. I like that it uses a non-irritating form of retinoid (retinyl palmitate) so you can use it night and day. Non-fragranced. Very affordable price point.
