MY DAILY SKINCARE ROUTINE!!!!

i've been so frigging busy with school assignments etc. But its kind of calmed down for the last few days, however my exams will be coming up in two weeks and i am so stressing.
Talking about stress.... i usually have a bad dietary during this time where i have heaps of junk food which leads to PIMPLE!!!!!
Anyways i just wanted to blog about my daily skin routine.
I= use to use HEAPS of facial products and I've tested an array of different brands - from garnier, to neautrogea, to olay, to laneige, to biore, cetaphil, etude house, Dantree, nivea, OHUI, the body shop, benzac, Bio-oil, avon ... and theres a whole list which i can't be bothered to mention. I've always liked experimenting different skincare brands and products but eventually i don't finish using them and they just expire :(. Also because i work at the pharmacy, i often get free skincare samples and i get big discounts from all facial goodies at my store, thus this influences me to buy heaps of facial things.
At the moment, i'm pretty stable and i try to stick to what works best on my skin
Below are my daily products which i use most often and a brief overview of what i think about it

ST IVES APRICOT SCRUB - BLEMISH FIGHTING


I've been using this exact one for almost 3 years, twice a day (morning and night. It's probably the best facial cleanser I've used (I've used MANY!!) and suits my skin pretty well. It contains very natural ingredient with ex foliating beads. The only problem with this cleanser is that it is quite drying, but my moisturizers back me up on that. The scent of this cleanser is pretty nice, but I've gotten over the smell since i use it everyday. After cleaning my face with this one, my face feels sooooooo clean, and its really refreshing and tightens my skin. Price is decent as well ($8) i get a discount ;)
Rate:9.5/10

OLAY REGENERIST UV DEFENSE REGENERATING LOTION SPF 15



I've only started using this at the end of last year. i use it once a day (in the morning). Its quite moisturizing and the cream is a bit thick. Moreover the fragrance is really nice. I've heard a lot of people get reactions from suing Olay products and i'm really happy that i haven't gotten any bad reactions (i've got sensitive skin). The product has SPF 15 which is quite decent and is good for protection from the uv rays. The price of this is quite expensive (i think the one i bought is $20). Overall i quite like this moisturizer, i've only used 2 moisturizers with spf and this one seems to be better than my older one (neautrogena). Also, the lotion absorbes extra quick and it brings out pretty good radiance to the skin. I can't say that its the best spf moisturizer as i haven't tried that many range in spf moisturizers, but i would definitely repurchase and recommend it.

ETUDE HOUSE MOISTFULL COLLAGEN CREAM


I ABSOLUTELY love this moisturiser. its extremely moisturising and has a really nice scent to it. The first time i used this was when i got a free sample, and after that day, i immediately noticed the different (my face was sooo soft, moist and glowy) and i knew i just had to get it. The moisturizer is thick, watery and sinks extremely quickly to the skin. After using this, my skin looks radiant, fresh and it tightens my face, giving it a good glow. i've been using this for about 1 month or more now, after buying it on ebay. i use it every mon,teus,wed,thu and sunday night. It does not give me breakouts and the price is quite decent (you also don't need a large quantity as it evenly spreads out in a small amount). After using this products for so many weeks, i've noticed a GREAT difference in my skin as its much more softer and smoother. The jar is absolutely cute and Asian which makes it soo perfect. the only disspointment of this product is that i can't get it where i live and i have to get in online. However I will definitely repurchase and highly recommend it!!!!

AMORE PACIFIC LANEIGE STAR WHITE ESSENE 50ml


This product is also one of my FAVSSSSS!!!!. I love it sooo frigging much. The product is supposed to make your skin smoother, brighter, more radiant, whiter and helps demolish scars and uneven skin tone. It was recommended my a LANIEGE skin specialist person and i'm so grateful she recommended it to me. The product does what it says, and i've also got comments from people after using this product (people saying how glowy and smooth my face is). I've used this for about 5 months and i'm not even half way through the bottle. Since I've been using etude house cream, I've decreased from using this product (using it on nights that i don't use Etude).
Its 50 ml at $40. its a bit pricey but lasts sooo long and the phrase'a little goes a longgg way' applies to this product. The essences itself is very thin and is a bit runny. It absorbs extremely quick and has a good feeling after appliance (refreshing). However the only problem is that, the moisturizer is not as moisturizing, but i have my etude house cream to help me with that.
Additionally, i love the smell and its cute, professional packaging.
I would definitely repurchase...even more than 1 at a time. You also can't get this in Australia unless online (bought this one from Vietnam.) However i think it'll last me until i go to Vietnam again at the end of the year, otherwise i'll buy it from ebay. Overall, when it comes to making your face glow, whiter and more flawless, this is the perfect product. If you're after something that is extremely moisturizing, i would highly recommend the etude cream above rather than this one.
Finally this product does not give me breakouts.

BENZAC AC 10%


I quite like this pimple cream. CAUTION!!! IT VERYYY DRY. due to the main ingredient in this product (benzoyl peroxide) it causes the cream to be very dry and can be irratigng to particular skin type. For my skin, if i use this cream for more than 4 days in the same area, my skin will begin to start pealing at that specific area. However, although this treatment is drying, it is EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE!!!! in removing pimple. it is super strong which is the only reason i like it. my blemishes tend to go away within 1-2 days. Another negative of this product is that, it can easily cause skin discoloration if i use it in the same area too much. The cream comes in 3 different strengths 2.5%, 5% and 10%. i've just recently began using 10% and it is more effective than 5%. furthermore i only use this cream at night time before i go to sleep. this cream is also pharmacy medicine thus you can only purchase it in a pharmacy. the price of this product is quite expensive $20 (the higher the strength the more you pay). Although the product has many negative factors, the best thing is that its the quickest pimple removing cream i've ever had (i've used several) and since i'm aware of the cautions, i'm able to prevent the negative things from happening. I'll most likely continuing to use this pimple cream until i find a REALLLYY good pimple treatment. Overall i like it, as its effective, quick and does not irritate my skin.
RATING: 7/10

I also use many other things, such as biore face mask, nose strip, avon eye cream and other night treatments. However i have to go now so i'll write a review on my other daily skin care products laterzz
