Great Skincare Mystery: Revealed!!

Ta-DA!! 

The brand behind the Big Skincare Mystery was Clearasil! 

Although I thought a teen brand was behind the mysterious green gloop facewash-cum-mask I had completely forgotten about Clearasil! Thinking about it, the brand was well overdue a overhaul. 

I think almost everyone has at some stage in their teens reached for a bottle of Clearasil in the hopes that it would clear up spots and blemishes. I know the only think I was left with (after religiously cleansing with the old version twice a day) was super dry, itchy and reddened skin. But, luckily, the new formula has had nothing short of a complete transformation and the Clearasil Vitamins and Extracts range is much, much kinder to skin. 

At the big reveal in the rather swanky venue of 24 Kingley Street, the complete new range was revealed. 



Apart from the Daily Clear Vitamins and Extracts Wash and Mask - which was  the mystery green gloop - the range includes an exfoliator, facewipes and their hero product the PerfectaWash system. 

The touch-free, motion activated dispenser delivers the perfect amount of cleanser to the palm of your hand - guaranteeing that you don't use too much or too little of the product. No risk of over-drying, no unexpectadily running out of cleanser (each see through refill bottle has 100 doses, so around six weeks of morning and evening cleansing) and no forking out hard earned cash - the whole system costs just £12.99. 


Good move Clearasil, very good move!

The Big Skincare Mystery

Oooh mysterious green gloop!



That's right, I've been using this lime coloured, creamy cleanser without evening knowing the brand that's behind it.

The bottle arrived with only a small note that said it's specially formulated for problem prone and blemish skin and could be used as a facial wash twice a day or as a facemask up to 3 times a week.

I'm a big fan of the mask-come-wash products  - Neutrogena's Visibly Clear 2-in-1 Wash Mask is a firm favourite if I'm minding my pennies and have some breakouts. So, I was more than eager to see the results from this!

So far, the wash it great. I has no problem lifting away the day's makeup in the shower. No stinging or tightness (which is a big no-no for any blemish product!) and my skin felt clean and fresh. Smells lovely too.

Haven't popped it on as a mask yet - but will keep you posted. However, a picture of me wearing said green gloop will not be posted!

The big reveal is on March 1st - so stay tuned for more on the mystery brand!
