[Etude House] AC Clinic White Trouble Bubble Cleanser

It was on August 24, 2011 when I finished consuming my nu skin foaming cleanser. It was time for me to switch to another facial wash, because I believe that our skin becomes immune after using a skin care product for a long time. I was also trying to find a skin product that will work for my skin. At that day before going home from work I passed by Etude house (SM Megamall branch), accompanied by my boyfriend. Originally what I wanted to try out was the Dr Tony |AC bubble wash from Tony Moly. Unfortunately it was out of stock since many were purchasing the said product. I then decided to go to Etude House since it is a sister company of Tony Moly. At the store the sales lady recommended that I try out AC Clinic White Trouble Bubble Cleanser. She explained that all the skin products of EH with the word "trouble" are formulated for skin suffering from acne. I didn't think twice and bought the product.

See the bubbles on my hand.. that's what the product look like when you pump it out

Pros

• Affordable
• It cleanses the face gently
• You would really feel a fresh feeling after using the product
• No allergic reaction. No burning sensation. No itchy reaction.
• Affordable
• Packaging is very nice, hygienic. 

Cons

• Just be careful not to let any bubbles go near your eyes. Sometimes it makes me rub my eyes.

Price: P378 

My sister and I love this product and are looking forward on how it would help our skin fight acne. Hoping for results ... (fingers crossed). By the way so far we only consumed a small amount of the product even though it is now Oct. 10, 2011. I could say it's "sulit" or getting more than what you paid for.

Nu Skin Clear Action System


 Day 1: 

Photos before using Nu Skin Clear Action. Photos are not edited nor tampered  to compare results using the product. In order to test the effectiveness  of the product I didn't undergo any treatments from facial center. To isolate the results, I will exclusively use only Nu Skin Clear Action System for a period of time. My skin is very oily, sensitive and breakouts a lot especially when I have a period, experience stress and lack of sleep.
