Product Review - Innisfree Anti-Trouble Spot Essence W

Today I'm going to do a acne-care product review.

I have been searching for a good pimple gel/cream for the longest time. In the past, I had used Neutrogena pimple cream and Oxy 5 every night whenever I had pimples. It instantly cleared all the bumps and blackheads and gave me a clear skin the day after I applied. 

However, perhaps due to the often usage of Benzoyl Peroxide products, my skin has started to feel irritated upon the contact of BP. 

So I have lived without using pimple cream for awhile and bumps on my forehead just doesn't want to clear. I was desperate that I bought benzoyl peroxide milder ones like 2.5% to try, dilute with water etc.. It just don't work. My face would turn red and itchy, feel irritation for a few days. 

Then I came to know about Innisfree - a Korean skincare product from my boyfriend's mother. She passed me a sample of the clay one and the cream one. I applied the cream one during the day, the clay at night.

I know I can trust Innisfree because when it comes to skincare, Korean products does deliver result. They take skincare products very seriously. 

Singapore does not sell innisfree here, so I bought mine through qoo10.com.sg from a Korean seller. 

The seller was nice enough to provide few samples for me to try, though I doubt I will be trying.. *See how*

I bought it at SGD$24 which is in registered mail. I would say it is reasonably priced since it does dry up pimple fast yet does not irritate my skin!

Description:

This spot essence helps to treat and soothe bumpy, troubled skin presenting you with a smooth skin surface with its outstanding peeling effects of torreya seed oil and natural originated salicylic acid.

Directions:

After skin toner and lotion, apply a small amount onto bumpy, troubled skin area

As shown in the picture above, the product comes out as a light cream texture that is easy to spread and has a lightly medicated scent to it which I like because at least I know it has medicated ingredients inside and I feel really safe to use it.

It does what it says. Seriously, those who have sensitive acne prone skin should try this because it does a wonder for me. For instance, I had an almost riped pimple on my forehead for days, and I applied this for 2-3 days. The next day after first application, the redness around the pimple has subsided. Second application dried up the pimple and became a little smaller compared to the day before. On the third application, I woke up seeing my pimple totally dried up but I did not bother to pick at it and decided to let it drop out itself. While I was washing my face, the dried up pimple came out and now my forehead only has a slightly red mark on it. I really regretted squeezing my angry pimple below my chin because it left a dark scarring there, if I have bought this product earlier, I should not have this scar. 

I will definitely repurchase this and recommend this to my friends if they were to ask me of any pimple cream that is gentle and effective.
