The product
Are you seeing spots? No, not like in your vision (go get that checked!), we’re talking the painful, punishing pimple kinds of spots that always pop up at the worst times possible. Yep, everyone gets ‘em. And no matter what you want to call them, spots, pimples, zits, or blemishes, we can almost guarantee you’ve had one in your time, and we bet you wanted it gone ASAP.
Well let us introduce you to the latest duo to launch in the blemish-care aisle of your local pharmacy: Benzac Post Acne Serum and Benzac Benzac Power Patches Spots. This duo is here to beg you please, please, please, don’t pick those pimples. No, seriously, step away from the blemish and leave it to the professionals, we beg you.
And by professionals, we mean you, with dermatologically-tested help in hand. If patches are your way to leaving your pimples be, then these ultra thin ones are going to change the pimple covering (and gunk-sucking) game. Do we know where that gunk goes? Absolutely not, we’re chalking it up to magic. But as long as it’s not sitting in our skin we’re singing the praises of the hard-working active ingredients.
And as for the rest of your skin care routine, the Benzac Post Acne Serum is ready and waiting with its lightweight formula, plant-based bakuchiol (a retinol-like alternative) and (everybody's fave) niacinamide, to help even the appearance of your skin texture and tone. What a win!
So, let’s see what our Review Crew® members had to say about this duo…
The panel
BEAUTYcrew sent the Benzac Post Acne Serum and Benzac Benzac Power Patches Spots to a panel of blemish-prone people aged 18 to 24.
The lowdown
The active-packed formulas: When picking up products to help in the skin-clearing process, you’re undoubtedly looking for active ingredients (or are totally lost). Well, thankfully this duo not only contains the ingredients you’re after (in the gentlest formulas) but it also makes it easy to see. Our members loved that both of the products contained different active ingredients that work together to help reduce the appearance of blemishes.
The feel of the products on their skin: If lightweight and near-invisible are key components in your skin care routine then this duo will fit right in. Our members found that the serum easily sunk into their skin, with a seriously lightweight, gel-like texture. But the real ‘feel’ that our members raved about was how lightweight and basically undetectable the pimple patches sat and felt. In fact, some members needed to crack out their glasses to be able to see exactly where the hard-working patches were.
The visible skin-resurfacing effects: If you’ve dealt with blemishes, you know the pain of trying to get your skin back to its former once smooth state. As our Review® Crew members were blemish-prone, this blemish-fighting duo helped them to see a reduction in new breakouts (incredible) and even saw an improvement in the appearance of their skin texture.
