It is no secret that we all struggle with stubborn acne and acne marks, especially from all the mask wearing we’ve been doing the past year! Personally, acne marks are such an issue for my skin. It is also common for Asian skin to hold onto those post acne scars for much longer than other skin types.
By incorporating Neutrogena’s Stubborn line, its been helping not only eradicating those stubborn pimples, especially around my cheeks and chin from wearing my mask, but also speeding up the process of making those acne marks go away! Not to mention, it’s so easily accessible and affordable. I get both of my products from Target!
I apply the Neutrogena Stubborn Acne AM treatment with a q-tip on any incoming or existing pimples (not the entire face) twice a day — once in the morning before the gym since a lot of dirt and sweat gets trapped around my cheeks and mouth, and again after the gym after I have cleansed my face and do my full AM skincare routine! It features 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide and works during the day to kill any acne causing bacteria. It is proven to reduce the size and redness of pimples in only 4 hours. I have seen existing pimples shrink in size just after one day of using. Redness also gets reduces as well and my acne isn’t left as pink as they normally would!
At night before bed, I make sure my skin is completely cleansed before applying the Stubborn Marks PM treatment evenly on my skin and neck. It acts to help visibly reduce post-acne marks that are left behind. Marks for me can take MONTHS to fade or go away. I have seen an improvement in my marks in just a 2.5 weeks after using this! Again, everyone’s skin type is different so some may see results sooner as it can improve tone on other skin types in just one week!
With the amount of stress, anxiety, plus external environmental factors that the past year has brought, taking care of my skin and breakouts has been more important than ever. Not only that, but focusing on products that are easily accessible (I order mine at Target.com and use their curbside pick up) and budget-friendly are also very important to me! You can try it out for yourself here and get to improving those stubborn pimples and marks today! Thank you Neutrogena for sponsoring this post!
