Dirt's Worst Enemy - Biore!

Hey everyone!

Biore's skincare line is one of the few that I can actually use on my extremely sensitive skin. So, when the company sent me these two products to try and feature on my blog, my skin was cheering in the background! Now, let me tell you a bit about my skin. When I say it is overly sensitive, I'm not kidding... If my skincare routine is altered, the sun is shining too brightly, or I'm stressed with school; my face breaks out. Lucky me, right?

Biore's Blemish Fighting Ice Cleanser ($7.99) is a great face wash for me to use. It not only clears away the dirt and oil on top of my skin, but it gets down into my pores to help keep breakouts at bay. Plus, it leaves my face with a cool, refreshing tingle! Talk about the perfect pick-me-up during vacations!

Once a week, I use Biore's Deep Cleansing Pore Strips ($8.99) on my nose and forehead. These are a great to  use to insure that you get the deep down blackheads and buildup in your pores, to prevent future breakouts. Plus, they are really cool to look at once you've pulled them off!

Here is what Biore has to say:

Blemish Fighting Ice Cleanser

Get an invigorating clean with a blemish fighting formula containing salicylic acid. Oil, dirt, and make-up don't stand a chance against this refreshing liquid cleanser that helps to stop blemishes cold and leaves your skin feeling fresh and vibrant.

Deep Cleansing Pore Strips

Here's a special two-pack to tackle dirt and oil that can cause blackheads on your nose—and the rest of your face. In just one use, these two different strips (for your face and nose or chin) are twice as effective as the leading pore cleanser at removing pore-clogging build-up that can lead to blackheads. And, they can even help reduce the appearance of pores with regular use.

Biore Pore Unclogging Scrub Review

Hey everyone!

This is a review on the Biore Pore Unclogging Scrub!

Here’s a bit of information from the press release: Prep your skin with Biore’s Pore Unclogging Scrub, a soap-free, creamy pearlized formula designed to list away pore-clogging dirt and oil. The cleanser contains exfoliating microbeads to unclog pores and salicylic acid to prevent blackheads and breakouts from forming, keeping your summer complexion fresh and clear.

Active ingredient:

Salicylic acid 2.0%

Inactive ingredients:

water, sodium cocoyl isethionate, glycerin, synthetic wax, glycol distearate, peg-6 caprylic/capric glycerides, ethoxydiglycol, cetyl alcohol, peg-12 dimethicone, sodium lauroyl lactylate, menthol, benzophenone-4, propylene glycol, xanthan gum, acrylates/c10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer, diazolidinyl urea, iodopropynyl butylcarbamate, sodium hydroxide, fragrance, blue 1 lake, yellow 5 lake, yellow 5, blue 1

What it is:

Gives pores a breath of fresh air. Our gentle but super effective scrub uses perfectly spherical beads-not jagged edges, like some competitors scrub ingredients-to detoxify skin. The scrub penetrates deep down where breakouts start to help prevent future ones. Show the door to pore cloggers and get ready for beautiful clear, smooth skin.

The Difference:

A single use of this powerful but gentle exfoliator gives you visible results you can feel as well as see.

* Goodbye, flakiness and dead skin cells; get ready to welcome a softer, smoother complexion.

* This effective cleanser is a great pre-treatment before applying your Pore Strip (smooth skin is easier for a pore strip to cling to).

* Gentle enough for everyday use, or use several times a week in combination with your favorite Bioré® cleanser.

How to use it:

Wet face. Squeeze product into hands. Massage over entire face and neck. Rinse thoroughly with water.

Beauty Tips:

Rinse with lukewarm or cool water

Use a clean towel

Pat dry/ Never rub

Helpful Hint:

To keep my face from drying out and becoming irritated, I like to switch up and use several Biore products during the week.

Biore Pore Unclogging Scrub delivers a series of punches against blemish causing agents. Its combination soft, rich formula with powerful yet gentle exfoliating micro beads knockout dirt and oil, while salicylic acid keeps blackheads down for the count. So go ahead and throw in your old scrub, because there’s a new champ for refining pores and clearing skin.

If that doesn’t beat all, its garden fresh scent of cucumber and melon is pleasantly uplifting and energizing; leaving you motivated and ready to start the day with a healthy and vibrant looking complexion.

This product retails for $5.99!

Pros:

~Fresh cucumber melon scent

~Gently exfoliates and refines

~Leaves skin feeling soft, smooth, and polished

~Reduces redness

~Affordable

Cons:

~Micro beads are stubborn to wash off

Overall, I rate this product at 5 out of 5 sugarcubes! Don’t let blackheads get the upper cut; fight back with Biore Unclogging Scrub!

Whitney
