Benzac 5-Day Blogger Challenge‏

About two weeks ago, I posted the photo below on my instagram (@chewyjas). The three products in this photo were given to me to use and try out for a challenge called the Benzac 5-day blogger challenge. As the name suggest, I was to track the progress of my complexion after 5 days of using these products. So let me show you my progress with some photos. 


Benzac is a complete range of skincare products recently launched by Galderma, targeting at treating mild to moderate acne sufferers. 


Benzac Daily Facial Liquid Cleanser 
(Sensitive to normal skin) 120ml

To be used twice a day, morning and night. A lot of friends commented on my instagram photo that the cleanser might cause the skin to peel and be dry so for me, I only used it once a day. The tinted bottle makes the liquid cleanser looks purplish but it's actually clear in colour. 

Its key benefits lie in its hypoallergenic formula, which is ideal for sensitive skin. It helps to remove impurities and unblock pores without additional aggression and produce a non-oily protective and moisturizing film on the skin. 

It comes in the range of a liquid soap type, which is the one I'm getting as well as the foam cleanser type. Both types consists of the same key ingredients of Calendula, Aloe vera and softening agents. 


Benzac AC Water Based Gel 

Recommended to be used jointly with the Benzac cleanser, this gel is to be apply to affected areas after cleansing. 


The gel is available in 3 different strengths ranging from mild to high for topical application. The percentage refers to the amount of the active benzoyl peroxide in the gel. Benzoyl Peroxide helps to unblock pores and kills propionibacterium acnes (P-acnes, the bacteria responsible for acne) within 48 hours.  It is recommended that you always start your treatment with a lower strength first. 


I received the 5% moderate strength. 

Benzac Facial Scrub

To be used once or twice a week, the Benzac Facial Scrub is suitable for all skin types and it allows for deep exfoliation which will clean the skin. It also helps to reduce skin oiliness without damaging the skin. The key ingredients consist of Alumin and the natural extract of rice.


The Benzac Facial Scrub smells like lemon and contains lots of micro beads. It's effective in exfoliating my skin and my skin feels smoother and softer after using it. 

RESULTS


I see visible improvement after just 5 days of using the Benzac skincare products. As seen in the photo above, one of the acne just disappear. I think the pimple just dry up and dropped off without me noticing it.


In terms of oil control, it's quite effective too. My face feels fresh and clean even after being outdoor the whole day. 


Having flawless and beautiful skin will make one appear more confident. Look good to feel good!
