August Favorites

Since it’s the end of August, I thought I would share the products I reached for the most this month. Recently, I’ve been struggling with fungal acne and needed products that didn’t cause flare ups and didn’t clog my pores. These products worked wonderfully for the most part. I’m so glad someone recommended the panoxyl cleanser to me because it’s been working wonders. The HaruHaru unstick has also topped the list for my favorite sunsticks ! I highly recommend all of these products:))

Benzoyl Peroxide 10% Acne Foaming Face Wash

Oily/Sensitive

Picky didn’t lie about this one, it truly is a holy grail product for oily, resilient, acne prone skin! I find the benzoyl peroxide does an outstanding job clearing up my acne, especially with the 10% instead of the smaller 4% dosage. I use it in the morning and at night and it truly is such a miracle worker! My acne is less inflamed, smaller, and way less visible very quickly. I’ve been sticking with this cleanser the past couple of months and have nothing but love and positive words for it!

These are fantastic at settling blemishes down fast! You only have to wear them for 6-8 hours for them to work their magic. I only had to use 2 over two nights to settle a larger blemish, and 1 over one night to settle a smaller blemish. They work so well and I love how thin and translucent they are on the skin, if you had to wear one during the day, it would be hardly noticeable. They stay on very well so no chance of these falling off either.

I was not disappointed when I tried out this product! It has a super sticky feeling similar to snail mucin. When I applied it on my forehead, which has many closed comedones, I was surprised to find sebum coming off on my hand. My forehead definitely felt smoother after usage, though it didn’t completely remove them. It’s a unique product and I haven’t seen one similar to it on the market!

Here’s to another Meditherapy product review - the Mugwort Super Calming Toner. I was interested in trying this, knowing that mugwort has benefits to it. I decided to give this a try. After a week of trying it out, I can say that I haven’t really seen much of a difference in my face. Here’s an overview of what I thought of this product: 🌳 The texture is as viscous as water - it’s very low. It makes application super easy after cleansing the face. 🌳 It did not sting my face on application, and I have sensitive combination skin. 🌳 Though it does say mugwort in the name, the amount of mugwort concentration here is pretty low due to it being near the bottom of the ingredient list. I’ve tried other brands that contain mugwort, and thought this one wasn’t great as those. 🌳 I feel that this is an okay toner, not one I would reach for often. I’d rate this a 3/5. It’s not great, but not bad either. This is very good for extremely sensitive skin type though, which I don’t have.

I love that not only is it affordable but the packaging is super durable and the pump works so smoothly. This is perfect for putting in small places if you have a lot of product already in your cabinets I love that. The texture is almost like a whipped gel and it’s bouncy and full. You immediately get that big boost of vitamin C and your skin is immediately hydrated brightens the texture is refined and smooth. I use this after washing my face and using a tea tree toner and witch hazel and this is all I need afterwards. Great for fine lines and wrinkles texture discoloration and age spots.
