A friend of mine went onto a course of Roaccutane to ensure that her skin is flawless for her wedding and while I would've loved this option, I was worried about potential side effects and the cost, being on a tight wedding budget.
So, I had to find something else and I did and I'm so thrilled with it that I'm singing it's praises to everyone. You can get it at most pharmacies and it's cost effective too.
The first thing is that I went onto a generic of Diane 35, a prescription pill which has ingredients in it to clear your skin by preventing your skin from producing excess oil. That alone might be enough for some people but if you have sensitive skin, you may need to watch what you actually put on your face too.
The Vichy Normaderm range is very good for sensitive and breakout prone skin. For daily use I use the cleansing gel, toner and the Tri-Actve Anti Imperfection moisturiser and the Night Cream. They leave my face soft and supple and keep my skin blemish-free.
How I got to the blemish-free stage though wasn't just by taking my pills and washing my face. I went on Vichy's 3 week skin clearing programme. It was amazing! It worked after about 10 days! It consists of 3 weekly products and a daily cream.
The weekly products are microdermo abrasion sachets that you use to remove all the dead skin, a purifying and extracting mask that you use to get all the rubbish out of your pores and also purify them and some soothing spray that calms your skin afterward.
You then use the cream daily but you should take note that you need to stay out of the sun during these three weeks or at least use a good sunscreen.
I read on a review of the product though that it should only be used every three months which I can understand as it is quite harsh.
I will definitely be keeping a pack handy should I have any more breakouts just before the wedding!!
