Not a beauty blog, but... #2

I don´t know if you guys remember, but some months ago I decided to try this Serum by L'Oréal, in order to reduce post acne marks. It ended last July, and I used it every single day. On the first days, I used it twice, in the morning and by night, but my skin just got more oily, so I started to use it only by night before bed.

When the bottle came to an end, I decided not to buy it again since (I thought at the time) I didn't see big differences in my skin. However, during the period of time that I used the serum, I received several compliments on my skin luminosity. At the time, I didn't relate it to the daily use of the serum, but the fact is that I stopped receiving such compliments since I quit using it.

So I'm reconsidering buying it again. Who doesn't like compliments? Right?!

Not a beauty blog, but... #1

Lately, there have been one thing that is bugging me. Since I decided to stop taking the pill, I started suffering from acne like a 15 year old teenager. In my 30s?! Not a chance! So I started googling for a way to end it! First, I tried a cream that is said to be very effective without being too aggressive. Its name is Papulex, and I'm using it since November. To be honest, I don't recommend it. The only change I noticed was that my skin was significantly less greasy, but the pimples continued to appear. So I decided to move on and try the Effaclar DUO by La Roche-Posay. I started using it on 30 January and have already seen improvements in my skin! Now is the time to start looking for a cream which will reduce post acne marks. Maybe I'll start with this one by L'Oréal. I'll let you know if it works!
