Acne prone skin gets help with Biore, Dermablend, Neutrogena and Garnier!

Biore believes that clear skin doesn't require a lengthy regimen and can be as super-easy as just two steps with:

Biore Acne Clearing Scrub - 127g - $9.99 - with a breakthrough, blemish-fighting formula - containing dirt-seeking molecules that target and cling to impurities like the deep down dirt and oil that can cause acne, and wash them away without disturbing skin's natural moisture barrier - it exfoliates, cleanses and clears pores all at once, leaving skin feeling fresh and smooth with an invigorating mandarin and mint formulation that smells great!

Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips - 8 strips - $9.99 - cleans a week's worth of dirt and oil in just 10 minutes - and if you do an image search on Google for Biore Pore Strips you will find what I like to call "Pore Porn" people are really obsessed with using them and photographing the results!

Available at select food, drug and mass merchandisers across Canada.

Dermablend SkinPerfector Blemish and Oil Clearing Primer - 24ml - $54 - with an oil free and lightweight texture that is easily absorbed into the skin leaving it fresh and shine-free but still feeling moisturized. Features a formula with salicylic acid to help clear acne blemishes and prevent new ones from forming while unclogging and tightening pores.

This kind of product is perfect for me - I don't break out a lot but I would prefer not to at all - and while a full acne regimen is overkill my skin still needs some help to not only help with the breakouts but also control the shine from my combination skin - especially now that we are moving into warmer weather!

It makes a great base for foundation, doesn't feel drying at all and keeps the oil at bay a lot longer then my usual primer does - not to say I didn't have to touch up with powder later in the day but instead of constantly it's just a couple of times during the day - I've also only had one small breakout since using so huge improvement!

Dermablend used to be one of those lines that was difficult to find but you'll be happy to know that NailPolishCanada.com is now carrying it and most items qualify for free shipping (and you can go shopping for nail polish while you are at it)!
