Battle of Glycolic Acids -- Boom Boom Pow

Pixi Skintreats - Overnight Glow Serum

Peter Thomas Roth - Max Complexion Correction Pads






Backstory

As i turn 27 i have finally got my acne under control .. i wanted to move on to better things in life.. but no. i couldn't lol because now that my face is much clear than it used to be im starting to see all the lovely scars left behind from years of acne. I whipped my internet research phd hat out and started researching about acne scars and ways to treat and diminish them .. and thats when i came to know about glycolic acids and chemical peels etc... so to start off with, i got the pixi overnight glow serum 

Pixi Skintreats - Overnight Glow Serum

Every single night i would cleanse and tone my face (i used the pixi glow tonic as toner) and follow with applying the overnight serum .. i do a drop on each cheek and then work it into my skin.. 

i did that for a good 2 weeks straight .. and man did i see i difference...it  helped my skin a lot!! i loved waking up to clear skin .. i didn't even use my usual acne treatment  and i still woke up with clear skin .. MIND YOU I DO WORKOUT EVERY SINGLE DAY, i eat super healthy and i did face masks every single day ... butttt this was that extra step i needed inorder to achieve that birght clear skin (tbh .. maybe washing off my face every night helped too lol )

using this, i did see my spots and scars fade and i was excited every night to cleanse my makeup off just so i can slather this all over my face lol so i can wake up to clear skin... after about 2 weeks in..  i got the PTR pads and i wanted to see if it would work better because pixi's has 5% glycolic acid and the PTR pads has 10% gycolic acid

**i did an indepth review on pixi overnight serum and the pixi glow tonic (toner) if you want to check it out 


Peter Thomas Roth - Max Complexion Correction Pads

i read a lot of reviews on this one and everyones ravvving about this so i wanted to see what the hype was about -- i started by using just half of the pads (day and night) i just cut them into 2..  used one half in the morning and then used the second half at night -- yaaa guys it fuckinggg stings my eyeeees - the smell is also suppppper strong -- but i kind of like it loool ( i sound like an addict lol) ok here it is.. *DRUM ROLLLLLL i actually didnt see a big difference in my skin using this one - i used it almost for 2 weeks then i kept going back to the pixi overnight serum :D 

maybe i should use one whole pad instead of cutting it into 2 i will try that out and update you guys..

i dont know maybe because the pixi overnight serum is a serum .. as in.. the product is actually applied on the skin .. where as for the PTR pads .. its cotton pads soaked in product -- and not wholey the product itself

i dont know
rocket science

but yah i would definitely get the pixi overnight glow again .. eventhough its like $40 at the drugstore :S :S :S 

have you tried these products??
do you like them?? which one works for you??


with Love,
Rum xoxo
