Niapads Acne Relief

Hello Everyone! I hope all of you are having a terrific day so far. Today, I want to talk to you about some wonderful new cleansing pads I came across. The Niapads by Saiom Technologies are great for getting rid of any stubborn pimples or oil residues. It is very unique and unlike any product I have seen for acne in quite awhile. Let's see exactly how it works...

The Product/My Thoughts

Each of these packets come with 30 pads. It says to take one pad and moisten it with water, then wet skin application area with water. Scrub application area gently with the moistened pad. Wait 20 to 30 seconds and rinse thoroughly with water.

According to the site...

"Niapads- Face cleansing pad with Niacinamide USP are designed to safely reduce Acne flare-ups by utilizing the well documented anti-inflammatory properties of Niacinamide USP. They also help diminish skin hyperpigmentation (acne scars).

Niapads is one-step process for opening clogged pores, exfoliation and getting rid of Acne causing bacteria. Skin friendly emollients help prevent drying of skin. It also contains Lavender oil which is well known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties; and yes it also provides a mild lavender scent."

When I first received the Niapads, I was like wow, this is a small sample. Little did I realize inside it contains 30 pads. Now that's more like it (guess I should've read that on the back!). Immediately, I noticed the refreshing yet light Lavender smell of the pads. I had a couple of areas that needed clearing up, so I decided to try it on my whole face. Now, if you are using it for just a pimple or a couple of pimples than it's plenty big. However, just me personally I would of preferred a little bigger pad. 

Here is what they look like below:

I then proceeded to put it on my face, and left it on for about 30 seconds. I felt a slight tingling sensation, but nothing that bothered me. It was a good feeling, like it was cleaning my pores out. The next day, I significantly noticed my skin looked a bit clearer, in fact a lot clearer! By the second day the patches of acne were pretty much gone. If I had just let it do it's thing (and used my normal facial cleanser every night), it would of probably took close to a week. I was really impressed with these little pads, and how much power they have behind them. I love that they are made is the US. I also think they are 10X better than any of those facial cleansing pads they have in Walgreen's. Not to mention they are great if you travel, since the pouch is resealable. Overall, I would have to say besides being a little small they are a win win in my book. 

To Buy Niapads they currently run for $20 with free shipping on Amazon (includes 30 per pouch). You can purchase these by going here:

Bullet Pocket Acne Aid

Hello Everyone! I hope all of you having a wonderful day so far. Today, I want to share with you about an exciting new discovery and product in skincare. The Bullet Pocket Acne Aid is like NO OTHER! Can you imagine using one product without having to use cleanser, toner, moisturizer, or 100 other products to help get rid of a breakout? I know I was intrigued, so I had to know does it work? 

Here is what I found...

Why Bullet?

This from their website...

"BULLET was created out of frustration with current formulations in the market, which are backed by aggressive marketing campaigns, are overly complicated, and prey on the customer’s general lack of scientific knowledge.  Moreover, today’s products are often harsh on the skin, or potentially harmful to the body, to the degree that the side effects become a larger issue than the actual problem itself.

BULLET, in contrast, believes in a simple, natural approach that works with the body and its natural metabolic process.  Relying on classical principles of pharmacokinetics (how drugs are absorbed and interact with the body), BULLET uses ingredients that are natural or body friendly, meaning most of the ingredients are naturally derived, or already exist naturally in your body (endemic).  The use of natural or endemic ingredients leads to products that are non-foreign, gentle and welcoming to the body and skin, while providing all the necessary strength and power.

Furthermore, BULLET products are designed to be multifunctional, meaning that several critical functions are combined in one product, reducing the need for cumbersome and time-consuming multi-step regimens that characterize many brand name products.  This revolutionary all-in-one approach creates skincare aids that are simple, natural, and portable, saving the consumer much time, space, and money."

I love how the idea came about, and I like the fact that I can recognize the ingredients in the product. It is a big plus for me that all the ingredients in the Bullet are natural/body friendly. Just a few ingredients that pop out for me are: Green Tea, Licorice, Black Willow, Aloe, and Zinc Sulfate. 

The Product/My Thoughts

According to their website...

Portable, all-in-one acne gel system designed to simplify your acne regimen by reducing it to just one step – saving you time, space, and money.

Use it all over your face for everyday protection at home, or take it with you, on the go, for instant facial defense, when you feel a pimple coming.

Each Bullet is:

• specially designed to kill more than 99.9% of
  acne bacteria*
• but gentle enough for daily use on your entire face, large blemish-prone areas, or small individual spots
• safe, natural, and body friendly, infused with
  botanical extracts
• oil-free, alcohol-free, fragrance-free, paraben-free, phthalate-free
• based on an award-winning, proprietary formula by a world class pharmaceutical scientist

There are two different sizes of the Bullet Pocket Acne Aid. The full size version seen up above which runs for $13.95, and then the smaller, what I call purse size version for $7.95 - seen below. You can purchase both of these on their official website right now, by going here: http://bulletacneaid.com/products/.

My Review:

I don't receive breakout's very much, but when I do they are pretty horrible! It happened to work out that I received a breakout, the same day I received this product. So, it was the perfect opportunity to try the product out. I had a lot of redness, which is really apparent with how fair skinned I am. It says to put the bullet aid on between 1-4 times daily. I decided to do it three times a day. Once in the morning, once after dinner, and then once before I go to bed. 

Immediately, I noticed once I put it on the redness went away. By the end of the night, the swelling was gone. Then on the third day, the breakout had gone away COMPLETELY! I didn't have to use a bajillion products, just one. Seriously, amazing. It took what I had on my forehead; got it under control, and then got rid of it! In my opinion, the sooner you catch the breakout the better, but even if you don't the Bullet seems to take care of it. 

I also have somewhat sensitive skin, and it felt like I was literally putting some moisturizer on. It was that subtle. I had no burning or the slightest bit of tingling, (without feeling it) it was already working. I admit, I was somewhat skeptical when I first saw this product. I was like there is NO FREAKING WAY that this 1 product is going to help a breakout. Sure enough though, I was proved wrong. 

I think it is a wonderful product, and I hope that each of you can experience and achieve the same amazing benefit's I have from it. Now, by no mean's am I claiming this will be a miracle product for you. I think everyone's skin is built in different ways, and adhere's to products in different ways. For me though, it didn't dry out my skin, so I didn't have to worry about a moisturizer. It also got rid of the problem in what I would consider a reasonable amount of time.  The only way I can see this product being any better is instead of having to put it on 3 or 4 times a day, being able to put it on once. However, I think that is just me being picky. That being said, this is the highest score I have ever given an acne product. For me it say's a lot and it will be a new staple in my skincare routine.

Overall Product Score: 4.9*

What I find really cool, is the company also has regiman builder to help find the specific products for your skin. They ask a very detailed questionaire, so that they get it just right.

The Product/The Review

Mandelic Acid 3-in-1 Wash - Mandelic acid, a gentle but effective alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), loosens expired skin cells and kills bacteria and germs—all without any of the redness and irritation that other ingredients can sometimes leave behind. 

How to Use

To avoid any potential irritation, start off by using this cleanser on alternating days. Apply a small amount to face, scalp, or body—anywhere you have trouble areas. It also works beautifully as a shaving gel to prevent ingrown hairs. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and, as with all AHAs, be sure to follow up with a good sunscreen.

As you can see in the picture above, the 3-in-1 wash has a peachy tint to it. It doesn't really have a distinct smell, but just a general clean scent. I end up using this on my body, because I have serious issue's with dead skin cells on my skin. My skin feel's so much cleaner and fresher since using the 3-in-1 wash. I also like the fact that you can use this wherever you see fit. I also like using this as a shaving gel, and think that it is quite a brillant idea for keeping ingrown hair's from growing. I haven't used it but for my skin, and as shaving gel so far. However, I am told it is great for the hair as well. I will report back once I do though, because I am interested to see how it will work with dandruff. So far though, this 3-in-1 wash has so many amazing benefits, and literally is an all-in-one miracle worker. I am so glad I discovered this product, and I can't wait to see what else the Vivant Skincare line has to offer. 

Overall Product Score: 4.4*

Evologie

Hello Everyone! I hope all of you are having an amazing Friday. Today, I want to talk to you about a brand I recently had the opportunity to try, called Evologie! They provided me with their Stay Clear Cleanser, Stay Clear Cream, and Intensive Blemish Serum, I've seen and read reviews from all ends, so I had to try it out for my own and see what these products were all about.

Who is Evologie?

I really love that Evologie's saying is healthier skin, happier life (as seen above)! I know that we can all relate to this, and we feel great inside and out when our skin is free from blemishes. 

This according to their site: 

"Prior to EVOLOGIE, while researching a solution to common oral joint pain, he pioneered a patented, laser-based, FDA approved, non-invasive treatment called Photomology™."

"EVOLOGIE’s origins were similar. Seeking ways to help his daughter cope with monthly pimple and blemish breakouts, Dr. Nagel consulted with medical physician Dr. Gary Weinberger. Their combined efforts and ongoing research into treatments for acne-related skin problems, and post-acne scarring led them to discover the limits of current over-the-counter acne treatments."

I love that from the very beginning Evologie has tried to not solve the problem from the outside in, but from the inside out. What I mean by that Dr. Nagel tried to help solve his daughter's problem with acne. The love behind that let's me know that if he cared that much for his daughter, and was wanting to share his finding's that he truly stands behind the product. Also, wanting to help other's as well.

I prefer companies that not only enjoy their products, but know about their products as well.  

The Products/My Thoughts

The Evologie Difference

"Evologie®’s unique YS3 Complex® delivery system effectively penetrates skin’s epidermal barrier to deliver a powerful blend of intense, repair-boosting hydrators, protective antioxidants and essential amino acids directly to where skin needs them the most. Evologie® does it differently, effectively and naturally WITHOUT benzoyl peroxide, retinol, or other drying, irritating ingredients."

I like that Evologie is not only different in the way it works, but I like that it changes as your skin changes, so ANY age can use it! It also protects the skin and increases blood flow. 

CLEANSE. TREAT. PREVENT.

This is the order in which I am reviewing each product, each of the products in the collection has several benefits but these are their main purposes.

CLEANSE

Stay Clear Cleanser - "Deep cleansing, non-drying formulation containing antibacterial agents that unclog pores, remove oil, and washes away acne causing bacteria and debris." With all the amazing properties, I was worried this would be too harsh on my skin. However, this product was amazing and very gentle. I haven't been able to find a cleanser than can even compare to Alpha Hydrox, but this works a lot like it, and may I dare say even a little better! I was very impressed with this cleanser. It is also non-drying, alcohol-free, oil-free, fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and made with all natural ingredients! It has literally nothing, but the good stuff. ;)

PRICE: $32

TREAT

Stay Clear Cream - "Works by intensifying your skin's healing power. It's YS3 COMPLEX delivery system combines natural ingredients with an innovative trans-epidermal absorption enhancer to rapidly penetrate deep below the skin's surface to where it is needed most. Moisturizers, antioxidants and collagen boosters keep skin carefully protected and balanced." This is what I like to call the magic potion of the trio. I could feel it work as soon as I put it on my skin. I can't wait to see a month from now the transformation, I will defiantly be updating. I also appreciate the fact that it not only moisturizes, but it heals my skin as well. It's something I think every moisturizer/cream should have!

Price: $62 

PREVENT

Intensive Blemish Serum - "A Doctor developed, patent pending, formulation that deeply penetrates the skin to quickly clear blemishes at the source." I actually had a pimple, right when I got this product. I used some of this on it, and 3 days later it was gone! I was very impressed. Usually, products just minimize it but this actually made it vanish. It's also great for men as well, my husband plans on using it as well. 

Price: $35

Overall Product Score: 4.7*

Now, if your wanting to try these products but not quite sure if you want to go all in yet, they also have a travel set. The travel set is $29, and includes the same 3 products.
