Michael Todd True Organics Acne/Oily Skin Regimen

Me and my never-ending quest in finding the correct skincare product for my acne-prone skin. I don't know about any of you but this journey is a tired and strangely exciting one. 

So far, my skin has been better. Being back on doxycycline and a gazillion other pills definitely helped the situation, but I'm thinking of cutting out the zinc pills and doxycycline in another 3 months or so because I don't want to suffer from any side effects in the future. Hence, here I am again, browsing the web for the next big acne-crushing skincare product. 

To be frank, I'm quite tired. My TBS tea-tree products have been great and they didn't cause any breakouts, which is superb! Hence, I'm going to continue using TBS tea-tree moisturisers because they are mega awesome and they smell amazing. :) 

For all the other steps in my skincare routine, I'm planning to switch it up a little. I'm a bit wary of using SKII products (even though a lot of people have been pushing me to use the miraculous SKII products), and so I think I will SKII when I turn 30? LOL I don't know, I may just buy it for myself when the time comes. But definitely not now. 

So, I came across Michael Todd True Organics products! The reviews online have so far been mostly positive and I'm stoked to try it out. 

They have an Acne/Oily Skin Regimen specially targeted at users with acne-prone skin (ME ME!) and I just placed my order. 

The kit is not cheap. I paid US$65.95 in total (plus international shipping). The kit itself costs US$132, but it's now on sale for US$70, and I got a further 20% off using the code "noacne", so I ended up paying US$56 for the entire kit! Thanks GOOGLE! 

The products are all organic and contain no water/alcohol/harsh chemicals. I'm quite curious as how this will turn out because the products do not contain chemicals like benzoyl peroxide, which is the first chemical that comes into my mind when it comes to treating acne! Pumped to try the kit out! 

The Acne/Oily Skin Regimen consists of:

• CHARCOAL DETOX deep-pore gel cleanser penetrates pores to draw out impurities - 210 ml 
• ORGANIC LEMON AHA + DMAE toner - 250 ml 
• KAOLIN CLAY  detoxifying facial mask cooling and detoxifying treatment  - 100 ml (maximum strength)
• ANTIOXIDANT CARROT multivitamin serum - 30 ml (new and improved formula)
• JOJOBA CHARCOAL SCRUB gentle exfoliating facial scrub - 100 ml 

They also had a Discovery Kit for Acne/Oily Skin where you get to try out travel-sized products first but I was doing the math in my head and this kit was more "bang for the buck". 

For those of you with sensitive acne-prone skin, they have another regimen - Acne/Oily Sensitive Skin Regimen - for you! The kit that I bought may be too harsh/drying on sensitive skin!

And yes, they don't really have a moisturiser included in the kit, so I'll be using my TBS day and night moisturisers with this kit! Can't wait! :) 

Update on my skin condition: my right side is TOTALLY clear, but my left side has been acting up (should be menses lah) and I woke up to 6 new pimples. LOL. The good thing is they are drying up really fast! I'm okay with pimples, but I really hate painful ones. Yesterday was not a good day for me. I was extremely sick and I had painful pimples on my skin. NOT NICE AT ALL. 

I'm excited to try out the Michael Todd True Organics Acne/Oily Skin Regimen! Faster come faster come!!
