Cosmedic Eracne N Night Therapy Review

Happy Republic Day to my Indian friends :)

Today I thought of reviewing the Cosmedic Eracne N Night Therapy gel which I have been trying out on and off for past 3 weeks. If you are suffering from bouts of acne, read this review to know if this night therapy is effective or not.

PRICE:  Rs.755

QUANTITY: 50 g

INGREDIENTS:

WHAT IT CLAIMS:
Breakthrough overnight gel treatment therapy simultaneously heals acne, decreases oil production, reduces the appearance of scars and prevents future breakouts within days. Our proprietary pore clearing complex combines irritation-free BioSuphur, Salicylic Acid and Retinyl Palmitate for synergistically improved results.     
Hypoallergenic - Non-Comedogenic - Oil-Free - Fast-Absorbing


MY EXPERIENCE: Cosmedic Eracne N Night Therapy comes in a simple green, tub packaging. But, due to the texture and consistency of the gel, I think the tub packaging is really disadvantageous. The mouth is a little too small for my large fingers, and if I try to pour it out, too much quantity comes out leading to wastage. The texture and consistency is a bit slippery and thin serum like and for that I would have preferred a pump dispenser bottle. It has got a medicinal smell, which is a bit strong initially but then hardly noticeable after sometime. 

Anyhow, the main point is if the gel/cream works or not and yes it does, to a great extent. I get two or three (sometimes a lot more) acne every month, which is a serious mood breaker, as the marks that are left, takes longer to fade. After I started using this gel, I saw that it controlled the breakouts and didn't let the present acne to grow bigger. The gel spreads easily and takes a little time to get absorbed. On application it leaves a little tingling sensation and feels a bit sticky (like in case of aloe vera gel), but that subsides in a few minutes. Once it gets absorbed, there is no oily/sticky feeling. However, it doesn't moisturise skin (nor does it dry out). 

Not only does it control acne, but I have seen the acne spots I had, became a little lighter but it still has long way to go to give complete spotless skin. I also stopped using it in the middle to check if the acne comes back, but fortunately I didn't get any new bouts in the past 3 weeks. The price sounds steep, but then only a little amount is required everytime and one tub would last really long, and when I say that it means really long. :P To sum up,

WHAT I LIKED:

• Serum like consistency that doesn't feel heavy on skin.
• Doesn't make skin oily.
• Controls formation of acne to a great extent. 
• Lightens acne spots.
• Didn't cause any irritation.
• No OTT claims, and works as per the claims.
• It is a little pricey, but the tub would last long.
• No new bouts of acne even after I stopped using it in the middle for a few days.

WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE: 

• The tub packaging doesn't work for this kind of serum like consistency. Also, add the hygiene issue.
• Doesn't moisturise skin much.
• Not a fan of the medicinal smell.
• Available online and select outlets. You can buy it from here.
  

VERDICT: It works and controls acne, but this is tested on my dry, problematic (adult acne) skin, which gets a few acne every month. I can't vouch for severe acne cases. It is hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic and oil-free, so it won't worsen or irritate your skin. But the results might vary. Hence try it at your own discretion.

Moving on to the review.  

PRICE:  Rs.249

QUANTITY: 100 ml 

INGREDIENTS:

WHAT IT CLAIMS:
Our triple action body cleanser is the first body wash in India that simultaneously cleanses, treats and improves the appearance of body acne, heat rashes and folliculitis. Proprietary Sali-Q complex delivering 2% bio-active Salicylic Acid is biologically recombined with purifying Triclosan and moisturising actives for truly rapid results without irritation or dryness.     
Hypoallergenic - Non-Comedogenic - Oil-Free - Non-Drying - Skin-Safe pH           

MY EXPERIENCE: I have sensitive skin, and I do get rashes from insect bites, itching, don't have body acne but occasionally I get one or two acne on the nape of my neck. As this is winter, rashes were not posing much a problem, so my target area was the acne on the nape of my neck. And I am glad that I tried out the Cosmedic SaliQt Active Body Wash, as it dried up those little miscreants in no time.  

Cosmedic SaliQt Active Body Wash comes in a compact green bottle, with a pump dispenser. The product is pale green in color and runny in consistency. It lathers moderately, so I need around 5-6 pumps of the product (without loofah) to get a decent lather (considering that it pumps very little product at a time due to the small mouth), and hence it finishes up soon. It has got a sharp medicinal smell, which I am not much fond of but then it doesn't really stay, so that's not a problem. I have dry skin and I was worried that it might dry out my skin giving dry patches, but no it didn't. It only gave a slight skin tightening feeling and I needed to follow up with a moisturiser. All said and done, it does help to dry out acne. I used it on my face too and I had a few large zits that have dried up on continous usage. But it doesn't stop acne from occuring, and it doesn't claim so too. It only helps to soothe them out.

WHAT I LIKED:

• Comes in a compact, pump dispenser packaging.
• Works on soothing and drying up acne and rashes.
• Doesn't dry out skin but then doesn't moisturise either.
• Cruelty free and vegan.
• Hypoallergenic and Non-Comedogenic.
• Affordable, being a brand that is formulated, tested and approved by dermatologists.

WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE:

• The medicinal smell might be bothersome. 
• Lathers moderately, so I need more amount of the product, hence it finishes up fast.
• Available online and select outlets. You can buy it from here.
  

VERDICT: If you suffer from body acne or rashes, and need some relief from the same, then you can try out the Cosmedic SaliQt Active Body Wash, as it effectively soothes and dry out acne. But, don't expect it to stop acne from occuring.
