Relogy Skincare Review





I received this product from iFabbo for Relogy for free. I am not being paid nor am I affiliated with either companies. 

When I first received these products, I decided to keep a very open mind. I didn't want to read reviews or opinions on it, because I wanted to test it without having any expectations.

Relogy is a skincare system for acne prone skin. Holla! I have been suffering with acne since I was young. I've tried every drugstore acne brand there is and nothing really worked for me. I've tried a couple of high end brands as well and while they did work for my skin I hated the price of them. Now I am going to be upfront with you and tell you that this retails for $49.95! Ugh, you should have seen my face when I saw that. Now you do get three things with that $50. You get a rinse--free treatment foam, Skin balancing lotion and you get a spot treatment pen. Three things for $50 isn't that bad, but it still kills me to think about it. While I'm not fond (at all) of the price, I do have to say that I love the products.

Clean Start by Dermalogica Wash Off

The Clean Start line is more geared towards teens who are acne prone. Now I am 21 years old and I first got the clean start kit, which you can buy at cleanstart.dermalogica.com and it is $35. Now that is a heafty price tag for skin care, even with all of them being travel sized. The reason I decided to look into the Clean start line was because of Kandee Johnson. I saw her talking about a couple of their products and I decided I would take the dive and try it. Originally I was supposed to get the Breakout Trio, which is the same price, but you get 3 full sized products, but the wrong one was ordered, which was okay. I am actually happy with the travel sized ones, because then I got to try them, so I knew how they would react on my skin.

What comes in the kit is welcome matte spf 15 / bedtime for breakouts / ready, set, scrub / wash off / all over clear. It also comes with a sample of brighten up spf15. Im glad that it came with the welcome matte, because I have oily skin and it would have suited me better! :)





Now, for the full sized products, these have a HEAFTY price tag, that I will not lie about. In all honestly, it kills me a little bit when I have to repurchase them. (I will get to the prices in a bit.) When I got the travel size, you would have thought that it would take me not that long to use it, but that little bitty bottle took me a couple months, which was pretty awesome, so I don't really mind spending that much money, because with the face wash, I use a little bit of it and I know that it will last me a long while! This product you can use on your face, back and chest. So its a multipurpose face wash! HOW awesome! :D
This is what Dermlogica's site says "This foaming wash clears up dead skin cells and extra oils to clean deep, banishing breakouts from your face, back… or wherever."

Now when I use the wash off , I don't really feel it foaming, but thats okay with me honestly, I don't need to feel the foaming action to know its working!!
So you can tell that I don't really mind shelling out the money for it, because I know it will last a while. The only reason there is a huge chunk of the face wash is gone from my bottle is because my cat knocked it down and the top came off and a bunch spilled out. Twas a sad day!

I have been using this for about the past 5-6 months. So I know I can do a proper review of it. ^_^

I honestly don't wash my face EVERY night. I know what you are thinking, omg ew, gross! Or what not, but my skin is so weird, if I wash it every day, it breaks out. So yeah, say what you wish. And my skin actually does not get as gross as you think it does when not washing. Anyways, thats away from my point. lol

This is a clear face wash, it does have a light scent that does not stay on your skin for very long. Well, it doesn't stay on your skin at all and you can't smell it, unless you actually go and smell it. Which I did, because I am me. Its clear and kind of thick, not thick like a gel though. It has a wonderful consistency and a little goes a lot way. It depends on how dirty my face feels, I could use the smallest amount that I could (dime size) or I use a little more (dime and a half) So not a lot at all! So you can already tell this will last a pretty long time for me! :D

You are supposed to use this face wash in the A.M. and P.M. . I chose when my face feels the dirtiest honestly. So I either use it in the morning or at night. If I wear makeup I use something else to wash my face. :) I really do love this product. When I use this I can feel my face being clean. It doesn't feel dirty or oily. Its soft and just.. its hard to explain just exactly what I mean. I really recommend this face wash honestly! There is just something about it that works wonderfully with my skin. Its also helped to heal some of my acne scarring from when I was a Sophomore in high school, its even helped reduce redness! Now it does not say that it is supposed to do it, but it honestly has helped! I just really love this product!

Now to the pricing. Its $20 for 6 fl oz or 180 mL. So yeah, it is pretty expensive, but for the amount you use, its worth it.
Dermalogica's site also says this "Salicylic Acid dives deep to help clear trapped oils and breakout-causing bacteria. Botanical extracts help regulate oil production. Orange Peel Oil revives, energizes, and refreshes.









Have you tried the wash off?! Let me know down in the comments! I would LOVE to hear your opinions on it!!

Review : 3 Facial Cleansers

Hello all! So I am here watching a movie, listening to the thunder and decided that since I am not going to get to do a video about it soon that I mine as well just do a blog post about these 3 face Cleansers! I did have a fourth, but its not entirely empty, I kinda just mixed that one and two others together and use it that way! So, I will do a review about that one later. SO! Onto the reviews!

The first facial Cleanser that I want to review is the Olay blackhead clearing scrub. This is an Oil-Free Cleanser and it says on the front of the container "salicylic acid acne treatment controls blackheads".

The first facial Cleanser that I want to review is the Olay blackhead clearing scrub.

This is an Oil-Free Cleanser and it says on the front of the container "salicylic acid acne treatment controls blackheads" .

On the back of the container it says "Salicylic acid acne treatment exfoliates and deep cleans to the pore to re move excess oil and eliminate most blackheads. Renews surface skin and helps to prevent new blackheads from forming. Contains a salicylic acid formula to control blemishes.Non-Comedogenic, Oil-Free. This cleanser is gel like and has little blue scrubbing beads, to obviously scrub your face and to help control your blackheads. I just want to say that I love this cleanser. Since I was little, my face has been riddled with blackheads on my nose, chin and cheeks. When I use this, I can see a reduction in the look of my blackheads, but it doesn't get rid of them. Then again you can not expect a product to work instantaneously with amazing results, you have to give it time. I bought this at Walmart for $4 when they were doing a huge sale on Olay products. The smell to me is a really nice smell. I honestly can not describe it but I absolutely love the smell. If I didn't want to use all of the other facial cleansers that I have on my Beauty shelf, I would buy this again, but I most definitely WILL buy this product again when I get the chance, just because I love it that much! ^_^

The second facial cleanser is the Biore steam activated cleanser.

I will be honest, this is my second bottle of this cleanser. I love the smell of it and I also love that is has a pump instead of having to worry about opening it and spilling any of the product or other things. I love the smell of it. I'm not even going to attempt to describe it because I am horrid at describing how something smells! Now, this product says that you use it in a steamy shower, but I find that whether its steamy or not, this product works. Oh! This is also oil free! So cha. The cleanser has a gel like consistency and it has little green beads that burst when you rub the cleanser on your face, that helps you get a deeper clean. This product is oil free, non comedogenic, sulfate free, dermatologist tested and hypo allergenic. All of those things are bonuses for me because I am allergic to everything (lol.. literally) Well, almost everything honestly, I am allergic to everything outside. I should live in one of those awesome bubbles <3 XD Like I said I typically used this cleanser without steam and it worked just as well as when I used it with a steamy shower. I bought this at CVS for about $6 I believe. I'm not sure of how much it is now, but I do know that I am having a hard time finding it anywhere. My first bottle I was so excited about and then it took me two months after I had finished using it to find another bottle. Which was a little depressing to me because I had absolutely loved the cleanser, but I think I  moved on from it. Now I will buy this again, when the time arises and if I can find it.

(sorry about the faded print and stuff, It got wet from being in the shower)

The last Cleanser I have for you all today is from LUSH. Its their Dark Angels Cleanser. This product expired back in May, but I have been saving it to do a video review on it, but honestly just have no had the ambition to do it, so I am blog reviewing it! I bought this for $12.01, which I didn't think was such a bad price, I guess considering they hand make it and its basically natural. Now mind you this product is for oily skin and you only need a small amount of it every time you use it. So naturally I was disappointed at the fact that it expired and I still had half a container left, even when I used large amounts of product.  This is what the site says about it "Dark and tough, this one doesn't mess about. It's a black, squidgy scrub made with charcoal to absorb oils and exfoliate your skin. Nutritious avocado oil softens, glycerin keeps the moisture in and black sugar scrubs away. Dark Angels is a hardcore cleanser with a little bit of surfactant mixed in to remove dirt and grease.I do completely agree with the site. I felt that it did absorb the oils in my face and my skin felt amazingly soft and just radiant after I used! I absolutely loved it! I just wish that I could have used it all honestly. I'm not exactly sure if I will purchase this product again, only because I had to drive about an hour and a half just to get to the mall where the store was. So that was kinda a turn off for me. I may order off of the website the next time I get a little extra money because I have been wanting to use a few of their other products ^_^.  Okay, went off topic, but thats really all I can say about it. I love the way it feels on my skin, its smells really good, I wish I could have used all of the products before it went bad ^_^. 

Disclaimer: I bought all of these products with my OWN money. None were sent to me, no sponsors or any of that junk. ^_^



I hope you all enjoyed!
