I am in awe with how far our local products has gone! Don't you agree? We no longer have to spend thousands just to get ourselves products that are really good and effective that used to be only offered by foreign brands. Case in point, skincare products. Before, great skincare products only are produced by brands like Clinique and Estee Lauder. Our moms, aunts and grandmas could attest to this. They would shell out their fortune just to give their skin the utmost care it needs. My mom was a fan of Clinique skincare line!
Lucky us because gone were those days! Now, some of our local brands are already at par with foreign brands when it comes to skincare. Belo Essentials is definitely one of these local brands. It has established its name when it comes to skincare and just recently, they released AcnePro, a skincare line that contains Purified Bee Venom.
If you still haven't heard, Purified Bee Venom is huge when it comes to anti-aging. It is clinically proved to halt signs of aging on skin like appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and dryness. Bee Venom contains melittin, a toxin that 'fools' the skin to think it has been slightly stung. This causes the body to direct blood on the area, stimulating production of collagen and elastin, naturally-occurring chemicals that make the skin plump and elastic. What's more, the antibacterial properties of Bee Venom is also proven to an effective ingredient to treat mild to moderate acne. Amazing substance, isn't it?
Bee Venom used to be confined to high street brands. Good thing, Belo (and Snoe) wants us to experience what it feels to be treated luxuriously, hence, they infused it into their AcnePro line.
Currently, Belo Essentials AcnePro only has 3 products in its line -- a Pimple-Fighting Gel Face Wash, a Treatment Toner and a Pimple Gel.
Belo Essentials AcnePro Pimple-Fighting Gel Face Wash | Php99.75
This face wash is different to face washes we are used to. It comes in a clear gel consistency that doesn't lather as much. I don't know how to feel about this product, actually. I like my face wash to lather because I have this thinking that lathering helps with the cleaning. Not that I am saying it doesn't clean my face, I just like my face wash to make me feel that it actually does clean the face. I hope you get what I mean. But I like how it doesn't dry out my skin.
Belo Essentials AcnePro Treatment Toner | Php79.75
My good friend Gem of Rare Vanity swears by this product! As she says it, it effectively gets rid of dirt and dries out zits. As for me, I think what she says about this product is true! This toner cleans the skin further by removing dirt and remnants of makeup without drying the skin.
Belo Essentials AcnePro Pimple Gel | Php149.75
If there's one product I will sure repurchase from the AcnePro line, it would be this Pimple Gel. It effectively dries zits in just 2 days. Give it about 3 days to work on those gigantic and cystic ones. It has a tingling feeling once applied on pimples but nothing unbearable. It is just its way of saying, "Hey, I am working on your problem!"
"Is it effective?", you may ask. Let us put it this way: I think I am blessed with a relatively good, pimple-free skin until I had a huge allergic reactions to a skincare line I was trying a few days back. I woke up last Thursday with about 15 pimples, in all sizes and textures, on the left side of my face even on my eyelids. I was thiiiiiis close to crying, actually. I held my composure and religiously did the Belo Essentials AcnePro 3-step Clear Skin System -- cleansed with the Pimple-Fighting Face Wash, toned with the Treatment Toner and treated the pimples with the Pimple Gel. In just 2 days, a considerable change was already be seen. The huge ones decreased in size, the cystic ones calmed down and those which were about to grow changed their minds. So yeah, with all my heart I answer... IT IS EFFECTIVE!
Not convinced with my words? Here's a proof:
The photo on the left was taken on Thursday night and the photo on right on Saturday night. The photos were blurry, yes, but the changes that happened were obvious. As you read this post, I still have some zits to treat and some marks to whiten, all under control. I am pretty sure my skin will go back to its normal state in no time.
I can't find the best words to say to express my gratitude to Belo Essentials AcnePro. It makes me believe that my once pimple-free skin could still be achieved after some weeks. Now, I declare this line, specially the Pimple Gel, to be a staple on my vanity. Prevention is better than cure, right? After all, who, in her normal and sane mind, would say no to an effective yet very affordable products?
How about you? What is the best pimple-fighting product/s for you? :)
