Skinceuticals Clarifying Clay Masque
I was on the hunt for my usual Pro-Derm Micro-Peel Masque (see review here), I was recommended the SkinCeuticals Clarifying Clay Masque by my cosmetic dermatologist clinic. Skinceuticals is the medical grade line of the company that makes Clarisonic. This is the first product I have tried from SkinCeuticals or the Clarisonic line - I believe the SkinCeuticals line is still fairly new to Canada.

Facts about my skin:
Skin-tone: Olive skin tone
Skin-type: Oily acne prone
Problems: Cystic acne on the chin and cheeks, large pores in the t-zone, and the odd wrinkle

Welcome to my review of Jane Iredale's PurePressed Base ($60 compact, $40 refill)!

The facts about my skin:

Skin-tone: Olive skin tone
Skin-type: Oily acne prone
Problem: Occasional breakouts on the chin and cheeks, acne scars, large pores in the t-zone, an oily t-zone, and the odd wrinkle - wow that's a lot of problems!  

The Product: Meet Jane Iredale's PurePressed Base (in the color Latte)($60 compact, $40 refill)
If you're not familiar with Jane Iredale, the owner started the line in 1994 and their foundations claim to act as a foundation, concealer, sunscreen, contain active skin care benefits, and are non-comedogenic and do not block pores. This foundation in particular is said to be:
- Very water-resistant and highly pigmented
- Applies evenly and easily, providing long-lasting, gorgeous coverage
- Light diffusing properties make skin look flawless, healthy and younger
- Minimizes pores and fine lines
- No oil, talc, dyes and parabens
- Gentle, safe for sensitive eyes and formulated with good-for-the-skin ingredients

Below are the full ingredient details - from a refill package of the foundation. When you purchase it for the first time you will need to buy the compact and power combo for $60, The compact is a lovely gold color, made from metal and quite heavy - with the "J" design right on the compact. The re-fill foundations can be purchased for $40 - and if you order straight from the Jane Iredale site - your order comes with a note from Jane (I'm sure they're mass produced but which a nice touch!) and a real dried lavender - which was a nice surprise!

Welcome to my review of Skin Tx Acne Treatment.

The facts about my skin:
Skin-tone: Olive skin tone
Skin-type: Oily acne prone
Problem: Cystic acne on the chin and cheeks

The Product: Skin TX Acne Treatment System ($99CDN)
Skin Tx Acne Treatment is made up of two products for treatment - both using medical grade ingredients that can be found at your cosmetic dermatologist. I found this set at my local cosmetic dermatologist clinic where they do medical grade peels, and laser treatments. Here's what comes with the kit:

1. Wash (150ml) that is made up of 2% pharmaceutical grade Salicylic Acid - used to help clear acne

2. Lotion (30ml) that is made up of 5% pharmaceutical grade Benzoyl Peroxide - used to keep acne at bay and combat the prevention of whiteheads and blackheads. Note that the lotion may stain your pillows so use a white pillow case, or I just placed a towel on top of my pillowcase at night.
