Hi my little munchkins! Long time no see :) Winter has been hitting me and my skin hard, as well as the rest of Melbourne! So unfortunately my Neutrogena moisturiser just hasn't been strong enough for me, the cold is making my dermatitis act up too so the dryness around my nose, forehead and even my eyebrows is getting hardcore, so I figured it's time to pull out the big guns.

I first bought this at Selfridges when I was (you guessed it..) in the UK and it wasn't cheap, I believe it was between £30 and £39, I can't remember exactly, and what's funny is at first I hated it. My skin in the UK was awful, I had so much acne, I think it may have been from the flight drying my skin out, but also more for the fact that I barely drank water when I was in London because I think it tastes disgusting, it's very hard and slimy water, but it worked great when I was washing my hair. I didn't bring my Neutrogena moisturiser because my brother wanted to keep it at home for his skin, so I took my Laneige Water Sleeping Pack with me instead. Clearly by the amount of acne I had my skin was not pleased, so I sought an alternative. I know that the majority of Clinique products are unfragranced but I could not stand the scent of this, it's not a chemical smell or anything but it's just a bit unpleasant. 

I stopped using this moisturiser for about 2 months because I figured it was making my acne worse from when I was on holiday, but my skin needs drastic help. Super Rescue is an incredible blend of water, silicone, thickeners, shea butter (ultra moisturising!), fatty acids (more moisture!), glycerin, antioxidants (preventing free radical damage), cell-communication ingredients and skin identical ingredients, all packaged in a opaque tube protecting these state of the art ingredients from contamination or sunlight, perfect!

Super Rescue is a fairly thick beige coloured cream that blends into the skin smoothly and effortlessly, and honestly I use this for daytime, nighttime and as a base for my makeup since it's much better than any of my silicone primers for my dry skin right now! It's great for dry and dry combination skin (they also make a very dry variant and a combination oily to oily skin variant) but this one is a bit too emollient for areas where you have a lot of acne, which would encourage more acne.

Super Rescue keeps my skin hydrated, plump and soft, it sinks into the skin quickly and doesn't leave any shiny or oily residue. It's a great product if you're willing to splurge on your skin and give it moisturiser that has one of the best state of the art formulas representing how far skincare has come.

I've gotta be honest with you all, this would have to be my all-time favourite cleanser. So I can't wait to tell you all about it! As I've said before I only ever really get moderate acne, nothing severe but it's definitely stubborn, leaves scars, and I have to be super careful what products I choose for my skin. I don't like to switch up my skincare routine too much for fear of upsetting my skin, but also I've found products that work, specifically Paula's Choice CLEAR Normalizing Cleanser.

I've been using this cleanser for just over a year now and I am besotted with it! My skin has never felt so clean and clear. I find it really hard to find a cleanser that's in a gel form (much better for oily skin), the CLEAR line is for people who struggle with acne and blemishes. It removes literally all of my makeup without leaving any residue, the gel is clear (ironic!) and silky, you only need about a 10 cent piece amount for your whole face. It foams minimally since it's not a foaming cleanser, which means no sodium lauryl sulfate! And also contains an anti-bacterial agent (Triclosan, it's used in anti-bacterial products like hand sanitisers and Dettol) which helps to kill bacteria causing your acne. When I did work experience for The Body Shop last year I had to wear absolutely no makeup until I got there and had my makeup done for me (score!) so I would cleanse with my CLEAR cleanser, tone and moisturise and when I would finally get there the artists would wipe over my face again and always remark about how clean my skin was. It gives me that perfect clean feeling without over drying my skin or leaving any oily residue. That's exactly how it makes my skin feel after I use it, CLEAR! Not only that, but it lasts for ages, I've only ever bought around 5 bottles the whole time I've used it!

I can definitely highly recommend this cleanser, available online at Paula's Choice , I highly recommend you become a member for a fee of about $5, they have discounts and sales all the time, it's insane! You can't buy Paula's Choice products at any retail outlets, but you can also find them on ebay.

Paula's Choice Normalizing Cleanser Pore Clarifying Gel is available for $36 or $25.20 at the members price, they also sell sample testers for $1.
