Nexcare - Acne Absorbing Covers

I'm great at getting pimples every month, so when I heard Eshani of TotalMakeupJunkie101 rave about these, I knew I had to try them!

They are meant to be applied on a pimple at night and by morning all the oil and puss is drawn out (so sexy).

Let's take this sexy little number as our test. It is in a delicate spot.

After a night.

It's been two nights, its going wrong! :O

Why you do this?

And again.

I'm growing a new head out of my old head... I'ma call her Athena.

Time for the old fashioned toothpaste method!

Getting better.

This isn't taking so long because of the cover, but you are staying on this journey with me!

It has no joke been a month and this is still on my face :/


These are nice. The bring things to a head but aren't as miraculous as they might seem.


Price: 3.5/5 (~$9.10 for 36 covers)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no real scent)
Effectiveness: 3/5

Anatomicals - zap! zap! zap! gets that chap - Spot Stick

My skin doesn't understand that I'm not a teenager anymore.
I still get pimples... occasionally they are impressively bad!

So I thought I'd give this spot treatment a try.
It has a night and day treatment.

The day treatment is clear and smells kind of citrus-y.
The night treatment is white and smells like tea tree oil.

I used it on a few pimples I had over the past few months and... I don't think it really did anything.

Toothpaste is still the best thing I have for pimples.

Price: 3/5 ($7.03 for 7mL total)
Scent: 3/5
Effectiveness: 1/5

Paula's Choice - Clinical KP Treatment Cloths

KP stands for Keratosis pilaris, also known as 'Chicken skin'.
And to take directly from Wikipedia, it is an"autosomal dominant, genetic follicular condition characterized by the appearance of rough, slightly red bumps on light skin and brown bumps on darker skin."

I do not have KP and I received these in a Bellabox.

These wipes do contain salicylic acid, a known treatment for pimples, so I used them to cleanse my face after work.

These towelettes were dry and scratchy and were a poor choice for make-up removal.
I didn't notice any change in pimples or redness.

If I had KP, I could be a better judge, but as it I didn't really like these.

Price: 1/5 ($8.00 for 10 cloths)
Scent: 1/5 (smells like a burnt Alka-Seltzer, if that's even possible)
Effectiveness: 1/5
