Jurlique Blemish Cream : Treats and Prevents

My friend just told me that my skin has never looked so good. She should know; she's a photo stylist. My secret, she asked? It's Jurlique Blemish Cream.

I'm 45 years old, and still suffer from breakouts associated with my monthly cycle. It's been a battle most of my adult life. The over-the-counter standards, benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid, just dry out my skin, and after a few days of use, leave it irritated. So, I've been researching natural products and how to use them.

About a week ago I started using Jurlique's tinted Blemish Cream, and it's done an incredible job of keeping my skin clear without drying it. I get tiny whiteheads here and there, which the cream zaps overnight, but the biggest surprise to me (and the biggest benefit) is that using this cream every night has helped me prevent the worst type of breakouts - those hard, under-the-skin cystic zits that sprout up all over jaw line every month just before my period.

My friend commented on my skin the moment she saw me. She noticed that I was blemish-free, had a nice, even skin tone with no red blotches, and that my skin "just looked healthy." All true. And I was over the moon to hear it.

Jurlique's Blemish Cream contains plant ingredients, including essential extracts and oils, such as calendula to soothe my skin, and tea tree oil and witch hazel to protect it from the bacteria that cause zits. The cream has a lovely consistency that's more like a lotion and is easy to apply; a little goes a long way. I like that it's tinted so I can wear it during the day if I choose.

I also like that Jurlique's Blemish Cream smells so good. The blend of extracts and essential oils smells clean and fresh because the scent comes from real plants, not from chemical fragrances. The cream is strong enough to clear up my skin, but gentle enough not to strip it. I've been using it every night before bed, and when I get up in the morning my face is dry--which means my skin isn't pumping out oil because it's too dry. Jurlique claims that this cream will rebalance natural oils, and I've found that to be 100% true with my skin. I am so happy with the results.

Eco Creds: contains plant extracts and essential oils.

Bottom Line: I can't believe I've put up with bad skin for so long. Now I have a product I love and can use to prevent the worst breakouts. It's pricey but totally worth it.--E .D. (Oct '10)
