Not all are blessed to have a great skin complexion. For acne-prone skin like me, having clear skin is wishful thinking. And this how my skincare routine helps me to deal with my oily, large pores, blackheads and acne problems.

You know, if everything is right and I feel good about myself, I feel confident. But I experienced having bad acne all over my face and my level of confidence drop. I don't want to go out because I don't want people to see me. I was hiding my face with my hair as if I'm one of the characters in a horror movie.

Using beauty products is not a capricious desire to spend money just because we want to look beautiful. And even if, what's wrong with that? It is us, looking after ourselves, making us feel good about ourselves and from there we gathered our confidence. I'm not saying that's the only source of our confidence, but everyone wants to look good, feel good and confident. And as we age, our skin age as well so we have to do something.

So what are the gems that I found and tried and say yes, this is it?

CeraVe Products

Tiktok made me buy it! Lol. Im a fan of Hyram and love all his skincare advice. And as I see other people tried the products and show the before after. I told myself, "I'm gonna buy one!" At that time, Cerave is hard to find in the shops. Like I look for it in almost every store that I know but I couldn't get it and tried getting one on eBay. The only thing was since they know that many are looking for CeraVe products so they selling them higher than their retail price.

The first CeraVe product that I used is the SA Smoothing Cleanser which contains salicylic acid which gently exfoliates the skin. This is suitable to use for the face and body which I'm thankful for as I have back acne and as well as for acne-prone skin. It's not only the salicylic but there is three more essential formula in this cleanser which are ceramides, hyaluronic acid and niacinamide that will help soften and smooth your skin without disrupting its protective barrier. Not only that but CeraVe smoothing cleanser is also enriched with antioxidant vitamin D, fragrance-free and non-comedogenic.

To tell you the truth it's my husband who empties my first bottle. I told him to try it as his face is always red and flaky. But didn't know that he will use it more than me. As a consequence, I ask him to buy the next one. His face improves goodbye flakes and hi to much smoother skin.

I have PCOS and the bad acne I blame for it. I use the cleanser on my face and my back. And my back acne dries up and now it's just the scars. And I'm happy that I don't get much acne on my face like how I used to. And if I get, normally before my period, It will dry and disappear before long.

Then I don't forget to use the moisturiser on my face and the SA Smoothing Cream into my body. Just to make sure that my skin is well hydrated especially it's cold here and my skin feels so dry.

Aside from that, I make sure that I used sunscreen that helps to protect against ageing and UV rays. I learned that sunscreen is a must!

Now, I'm glad that CeraVe products are now available in Superdrug so I can just order them online when I run out of them. And I always wait for the 3 for 2 deal! You know I always love a good bargain.

Prices

It's very affordable and is cheaper. This CeraVe product is proven and tested by many so this is worth it.

CeraVe products did deliver the results that I'm looking for. I can say that my skin is much better and healthier now. If you have healthy-looking skin, you don't have to put on makeup anymore.

I know confidence should come from within but let me tell you it also comes from what you see in the mirror. Enhancing your natural beauty if you love to is all up to you. But you are and we all are beautiful no matter what.

Thank you for reading.
