Pray. Hustle. Repeat: Neutrogena Acne Proofing Review

@Rebeccaswhitecoat on Instagram

Somewhere between praying, hustling and repeating, I can find myself prone to breakouts! That’s where @neutrogena comes in! The Neutrogena acne proofing, line is an absolute favorite of mine because of the salicylic acid, making my breakouts resolve in only a couple of days! #acneproofing #skincare 

     I am a skin care gal. If you have even skimmed tis blog before, I'm sure that it is pretty evident! In the last couple of months, it has been such a blessing working with Neutrogena. From the HydroBoost Collection to this Acne Proofing collection, it has been such a pleasure collaborating with them, and I hope to work with them in the future! So without further ado,  I want to share my thoughts on the daily scrub and gel cleanser!

TEXTURE/CONSISTENCY:
     Scrub: The scrub has a texture that sets it apart from other scrubs. If you have ever tried St.Ives scrubs, you know that it is pretty grainy and the beads are extremely evident. The Acne Proofing daily scrub has more of a gel consistency, and you don't feel the micro beads as much as in other scrubs, meaning that it is less abrasive to the epidermis. That can also clue that the exfoliation comes more from the chemical makeup than the physicalities of the product. 10/10

     Cleanser:  I have a strong liking for any cleanser with a nice lather. This cleanser comes to a nice lather and leaves my skin without that super squeaky clean that irritates me a little. My skin feels clean and refreshed, but not stripped of all oils and moisture.

FRRAGRANCE:
     This collection is really cool concerning the citrus like smell. What sets it apart is that this collection smells like citrus, but not a cheap kind of smell. It smells like something that your facialist would apply, and you would know that results are fast on their way. I would say it kind of smells expensive- like high end skin care.

RESULTS:
     At the time I started testing this product out, I was going through a pretty bad breakout on the sides of my cheeks. After using the scrub and cleanser, I noticed that my breakout was quick in disappearing.  Further, the "acne proofing" came in, because I haven't had any breakouts flare up since!



If you are looking for an affordable, yet high end cure for breakouts/breakout prevention, this line is ideal for you!

Best and God bless,

Time With God

This life is busy. Somewhere in the midst of the hustle and bustle, I think that we lose sight of what is truly important. Sometimes we wonder why we are so drained and bored with life, and I truly believe that it is because we have misplaced our priorities. 

We can only be fully charged, under the Grace of God. 

Want to learn how to charge up and live your best life? It starts in your time with God. 
Jesus sought to speak with God every day, and He was. Jesus. How much more do we need Him?
