I’ve had a few suggestions to film a video on what skincare products I use on my face at the moment and so here it is! You can read all about my skincare history here (it includes ghastly pics of my skin at its worst!) so you know what skin type I have, so you can see if your skin is a little similar to mine. I explain how I use everything in the video below (and I tell you what products are great for blemishes)!
- Paula’s Choice Clear Normalizing Cleanser (review)
- Philosophy Purity 3-in-1 Cleanser (EDIT – since filming this video and after using this for two weeks, I have now broken out in spots! I do love this so I will continue to use it, but only around the eye area to remove eye makeup).
- Johnson’s Baby Wipes
- Bioderma H20 Crealine Solution (review)
- DHC Deep Cleansing Oil
- Paula’s Choice Clear Extra Strength Targeted Blemish Relief Toner (review)
- Paula’s Choice Skin Balancing Moisture Gel (review)
- Paula’s Choice Skin Balancing Daily Mattifying Lotion SPF15 (review)
- Quinoderm
- Freederm (review)
- Bioeffect EGF Serum (not pictured) (review)
So there we have it – all the products I am currently using as part of my skincare regime. I hope this has helped a few of you who have similar skin to me. If you would like a more in depth review of any products mentioned here, then just leave me a comment below and I’ll get on it! Also – as a beauty blogger, I am always on the look out for new, amazing, skincare products (for example I am dying to try Alpha H Liquid Gold), so if you think there’s a product out there that I’ll love and will suit me, then please let me know!
What skincare products do you use and love?

This is such a great post for all of those who suffer from acne etc, and don't know what products to use to get a good skin care routine. This has definitely helped me! xo
ReplyDeleteOoh I have the Alpha H Liquid Gold and I love it! It really helps my blemishes go quicker! I also like the Manuka Dr Apiclear Serum to dab on blemishes to help them go :) x
ReplyDeleteOoh! I have never heard of Paula's Choice before! Will be reading the reviews. x

Bioderma is my new favourite thing!

Great post! I too have blemish-prone skin and I love anything by La Roche Posay and Eve Taylor - well worth a look if you're looking for something gentle yet effective.
ReplyDeleteI think the worst thing you can do for oily, acne skin is use anything too harsh or abrasive, so I always look for really simple, natural products xx
where do you buy your bioderma from? im desperate for some but have no idea where to get it! xxxx
ReplyDeleteI've been on Minocycline for acne and it worked well, I changed to Minox and have never looked back! Painful and cystic acne can really damage your confidence so it's great to hear a beauty blogger talking about it!

My skin is soooo similar to yours. I had perfect skin up until 21, then all hell broke loose. I've tried everything. since my acne is hormonell it is very unpredictable. I'm dry at some places, oily in others, sensitive and combination. I feel that i do have a bit of knowledge about skintypes and can easily help my friends. but for me, nothing works. acneproducts dries out the spots but leaves me all flaky. products för dry skin helps with the acne but leaves the skin very oily. products for sensitive skin makes the skin stay not dry/not oily however, it doesn't prevent spots at all!
ReplyDeletethis all makes me very frustrated at times!
A really helpful video, thank you:)

thanks for the video, katie... and sharing your skincare history on your blog. i can imagine how confidence-destroying having such severe acne was, especially during the already awkward teenage years!
ReplyDeletei recently tried this sample set from paula's choice (for a measly £3!!). really impressed so far, especially with the cleanser and the BHA gel exfoliator. definitely recommend it, especially to try those two products.

im definitely going to try quinoderm, for a couple of quid it's gotta be worth a try! :)
i think a post on how you disguise your problem areas would be good. i struggle to hide my spots and blemishes, and always look powdery trying to disguise my oily bits. your makeup always looks flawless and healthy, so would love to know your secrets!
I find that Neutrogena is the only brand that works the best on me

I have combination/oily skin which is acne prone as well. I find using products that balance the PH of your skin best for controlling my acne, such as Liz Earle hot cloth cleanser of the Avene soapless gel - anything that doesn't contain alcohol! Followed by a toner that also contains natural ingredients and a moisturiser by Dr Manuka which is meant to be good for scarring and blemishes. This works well for me but use a skin-peeling cream prescribed by my doctor as well as antiobiotics to prevent any more cistic spots occuring. Don't think you can avoid the doctor if you suffer from any degree of acne! :)
ReplyDeleteAlso use st ives scrub and i love that!

thanks for sharing :) I've suffered from acne since I was 15 and I've had to take the diet route to get rid of it i.e cutting out all dairy :( but it's still good to know which products you use xo

Clinique 3 step skin care gave me acne 10 years ago. I had perfect skin, now 28 I suffer from acne, antibiotics & other treatments have not worked. I believe that the clinique skincare damaged my skin beyond repair.
ReplyDeletenice info in this post and also in your video. thanks for acne skin care tips .
ReplyDeleteI used to have perfect skin until I was in my thirties, then suddenly I started breaking out really badly. I have been taking Tetralysal, but the one thing that really helped was Liquid Gold. Not only do I break out a LOT less, it's also faded my scars really well.
ReplyDeleteThe diet taken should be balanced in vitamins and minerals and should fulfill the daily needs. Fish is also very good for skin and hair. Skincare Products

Bioderma is the best makeup remover! Also, I went to your skin history and I have to applaud you for the pics because I would be very scared to show photos of my own acne prone skin. I've made a new year resolution this year to clear up my skin. I am using a whole line from Yon-Ka and Dr. Murad's 'The Water Secret'. Fingers crossed! Follow my progress at my blog!

Nice post keep up with this interesting work. It really is good to know that this topic is being covered also on this web site so thanks for taking time to discuss this!
ReplyDeleteI am often to blogging and i really appreciate your content. The article has really peaks my interest. I am going to bookmark your site and keep checking for new information.
ReplyDeleteI also have combination skin like you and also used to have trouble finding the right balance of moisture on my face. My dermatologist said the Lady Soma Renewal Serum is the sure thing for women with combination skin. Reading the ingredients, it contains multiple anti-oxidant and it is good for combination skin. So I try it for my fine lines on my forehead. It is great. My skin gets smoother and brighter, and the lines are getting less.
ReplyDeleteIts also a serum, so its great under makeup.
