Juice Beauty Facial Products: Love it or Hate it

On August 18th I bought Juice Beauty facial set from Ulta, a beauty store for my international friends. This set came with a cleanser, serum, peel and a moisturizer ( I have not tried the moisturizer). 

They are a deluxe sample size, so I wouldn't have to buy full sizes if I didn't like it, or I got a freaky reaction. I noticed that my current face cleansers were not "working" anymore and it was time to find something else. 

Juice Beauty is an organic skin care line that says clear skin in 30 days. On the box it says it has no parabens, propylene, petroleum and silicones, just to list a few. It does have a light funky smell to it , but I don't mind. 

I was breaking out and my face was now immune to the products I’ve been using, so while at Ulta, I was introduced to Juice Beauty. 

By week 2 I had broken out a little, but it seems that I wasn't alone since in some reviews, girls had mention the same thing happening, so I pushed to week 3. By then I had that weird feeling when I saw a clear face, no pimples! Since then breakouts here and there, almost every other week, clear one week, then breakout the next. It’s tough.

Here I’m in week 5 and I noticed my skin looks great, but the pimples still come, 1 or 2 at a time. I'm forever getting 1 pimple, goes away, and then there's another. I don't get it, the box says blemish, and picture of a face full of acne, so is my pop up pimple something else? Is it my diet? The water? Laziness? - Maybe? Maybe not? But my skin looks great, minus the occasional pimple. 

I saw something happening week 3, then nothing after that. So I cheated during the tough pimple days. I noticed the serum has .75% salicylic acid where as my Neutrogena has 2%. So on a very bad day/days, where I just can't stand a monster, I put my Neutrogena Rapid Clear Spot Gel, which helps. Toothpaste if I need business to happen. (is that a myth? I don’t know, but it helps me.)

What I really like about this line however, is the cleanser and the peel. The peel, my goodness! It's really just a thick liquid you set on a pimple/blemish for 10 mins and wash off. It gives a tingling feeling, so it's doing something. I do notice after cleansing and putting this on, then the serum, I wake up, and there is a slight difference in size. 

If when I decide to repurchase the cleanser and the peel, since they are my 2 favorites, I'll have to really think since the cleanser is $22 and peel $39. I don't want to think how much I've spent to find THE ONE acne treatment for me, but it’s a lot and I end up with a cocktail of facial products that make their rounds on my face.

The problem is they work, but then they stop working and my breakouts are stronger, maybe my acne hormones are stronger. I'm hot and cold with this line, but I wish they had a more stronger option, then maybe my face would be like the ones you see on the before and after, with nice skin tone WITHOUT the bumps. 

Thank you for reading my jumbled up review about this line, "importantly", a brand that is Organic. Maybe my face needs a mix of pure and regular products. All I know is that I’m half way through the bottles, so I’ll see how it goes from here… maybe I need 60 days not 30.

Thanks for reading!

If you have a product that works for you, let me know! I'm still looking for the one! :)
