While I have a skincare routine that keeps my skin looking and feeling great, from time to time I do experience break outs. I have some problem areas like my chin and my forehead and have been looking for a product that will treat these areas without drying out my skin. I was recently introduced to two products that deliver just what I’ve been looking for. Vitabrid C¹²’s SPOT Powder and SPOT Essence deliver stabilized active Vitamin C deep into the skin for 12 continuous hours to target and treat all problems related to acne.

I’ve been using Vitabrid C12 SPOT Powder and Vitabrid C12 SPOT Essence for a few weeks and have seen a difference in my skin’s appearance without any side effects. The powder and the specially formulated essence should be mixed together in the palm of your hand and applied to the face or to specific trouble spots. These powerhouse products help to control oil while hydrating the skin for a clean, healthy-looking complexion.

Both products contain Vitabrid CG, which delivers a proprietary new form of active and stabilized vitamin C deep into the skin to control sebum, the initial cause of acne, while also eliminating acne bacteria that cause inflammation. While typical acne medications chemically remove keratin from the skin’s surface, Vitabrid CG breaks down the pore-clogging keratin (hardened sebum that blocks pores) and naturally eliminates it as waste.

I never realized the powerful healing power of Vitamin C for the skin. I load up on orange juice when I’m not feeling well and take a Vitamin C pill each day, so it makes a lot of sense that these Vitamin C based products are the safest acne treatment on the market. It continuously protects the health of the skin without resistance build-up through anti-inflammation, skin barrier strengthening and immune system fortification. Vitamin C is a strong, but safe antioxidant that rejuvenates the skin.

The best things about these products for of these products are:

• Safely solves acne problems with no side effects
• Stabilized active Vitamin C powder delivered deep into the skin for 12 continuous hours
• Eliminates acne bacteria and inflammation
• Cleanses keratin plugs
• Aids in pigmentation and damaged skin recovery

As I mentioned above, the company recommends that you mix an appropriate amount of the powder with the Vitabrid C12 Essence (or another products such as the Vitabrid C¹² SPOT Ampoule), in the palm of your hand. Apply the mixture to the troubled area. A dime-sized amount of the SPOT powder and Essence should be used if you need to treat the entire face

The Vitabrid C12 SPOT and Vitabrid C12 Essence are currently available exclusively at Barney’s.

As part of my skincare routine, I often use a mask to remove impurities and help give my skin an extra glow. I was recently introduced to a mask from Osmosis Skincare that I’m excited to tell you about today. Featuring cranberry enzymes, Osmois Skincare Polish Enzyme Firming Mask is a vegan, gluten-free mask that also provides a gentle firming effect. It is the ideal alternative to invasive peels, but with the same benefits that will leave your skin glowing and feeling fresh and fantastic.

* Complimentary Product Received for Review.

I’m no stranger to Osmosis Skincare as I currently use several products in their skincare line. Osmosis has a unique philosophy that is based on analyzing the skin and body as a whole to treat skin conditions at their source, restoring beauty and wellness. I’ve really enjoyed all of the products and this one is no exception.

Polish uses cranberry enzymes that help exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and revealing a bright, brilliant glow. In case you are wondering if the product smells like cranberries, it absolutely does. It has a really pleasant and energizing smell. It felt a little tingly going on my skin, but only lasted for a few seconds. I left the mask on for about 10 minutes, but you can leave it on anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes to see results.

This deliciously decadent cranberry enzyme smoothing, peptide-firming, antioxidant mask definitely gives the skin a smooth, healthy appearance with each use. The cranberry enzymes gently remove dead skin from the surface without removing the vital lipid barrier or damaging the deeper levels of skin. With 1% CoQ10 and Lactic Acid, this mask is the perfect alternative to an invasive peel, which quite frankly, I would prefer not to do.

Polish provides a gentle firming effect, helps with smoothing out fine lines and brightens hyperpigmentation. Skin is left soft, gently exfoliated, and with a beautiful healthy glow that lasts for several hours.

It’s best to use this enzyme firmer 1 to 2 times a week for glowing, gorgeous skin with a more even skin tone. Polish is the perfect replacement for harsh scrubs, which can spread bacteria, irritate and inflame the surface of the epidermis.

You can also keep your lips plump and healthy too with this versatile product. Lightly massage Polish onto dry, clean lips. Let it sit for 1 minute then wipe away with a warm washcloth. You can also use Polish to smooth your heels, hands, elbows, and knees.

You can purchase this great beauty product along with many others directly from Osmosis Skincare. You can connect with the company on Facebook too.
