This product is one of the best things to happen to my skin. I've suffered from severe cystic acne since highschool and I am now in my twenties still having to battle with breakouts. I've tried peels, microdermabrasion, blue-light therapy, red-light therapy, all-natural remedies, expensive doctor prescribed medication, and YES...Proactiv (God knows I have the extra cleanser bottles lying around my house to prove it!). Its essential for individuals with active acne or acne scars to wear proper SPF. If you do not, you run the risk of discoloration and premature aging. QUICK NOTE: Girls make sure you wear SPF and keep those scars/pimples covered from the sun!!! They'll heal quicker!!!
My scars take foooorever to heal. I've had friends who go to bed with a huge mountain on there face and wakeup with no marks whatsoever. Its just genetics, some people are blessed with faster cell turnover than others. Yes, sometimes I get envious but what can ya do?...you gotta work with what ya got! As I mentioned earlier, I've used various skincare lines, some expensive some cheap (ex: drugstore to obagi). This is the first sunscreen that does not aggravate my skin (no red tomato face) or make me look shiny. It's light weight and absorbs super fast. Oily-skinned girls out there know how important it is for our sunscreen to absorb fast, especially if your gonna do the makeup routine after (primer, foundation etc.)
Oh, and get this...it has transparent zinc oxide. No ghost face!! I have major yellow undertones and I don't feel it changes the color of my foundation at all or produces flashback in photos. Hallejullah...sing it with me girls and well-groomed guys:) My breakouts have reduced dramatically since using this sunscreen. I purposely made this my first product post because I wanted to share with you guys one of my most regularly used & loved items. I know acne is a biyaaatch and how hard it is to deal with so I'm gonna try to keep putting up helpful tips and info for you guys.
