Mentholatum Acnes Medicated Powder Lotion 150ml
Nail polish: Rimmel London in no. 430 Coralicious
Hello Cherries!
Today I will reveal a secret to you. This product has really saved my face so far. Despite the fact that there are many 5 star reviews written on web shops, I am amazed that hardly anyone talks about this product on YouTube. This also applies to blogs. So I take the chance to reveal one of my biggest beauty secrets, but first I tell you about my own experience with acne. Although my face always looks smooth on photos, it does not mean that I have perfect skin (Never used photoshop btw, only filters, but my makeup has always done the miracles). I also struggle with acne problems.
My acne story:
My acne story can sound weird, because it is different from other acne stories. My type of acne is not an ordinary form, but it is really visible and especially in the sun! The acne that I have is also called "summer acne". This type of acne only breaks out in the summer. It begins its phase at the end of spring and stops only in the beginning of autumn. During the summer (without good acne products) the face is bothered with large bumps which eventually gives off white heads and you also get a lot of dry pimples (yellow dots visible in the pores). The last one is actually quite innocent, because scrub can easily remove them. Yet this can look unpleasant on the face. I have to admit that I never really suffered from the last one, but the first one has always been a problem. Large bumps close together that sometimes leave by themselves and leave scars behind. I also have small bumps all over the face in the summer. You see this mainly in the sun, but they also disappear by themselves. Yet it is important to fight "summer acne" well, otherwise it can come back worse every year. Fortunately, this product I am going to tell you about is very effective and I am happy that my "summer acne" has really decreased by more than half this year!

At the top I have placed two photos. The lotion is at rest on the left photo and the lotion is ready for use on the right photo. This lotion is actually a lotion and toner in one. You can easily use it after a cleansing wipe, oil etc. It is strongly advised not to use this product over the eyes! So make sure you have already removed the make-up from the eyes with another product! (This is just a sign, because many women use a toner over their eyes to remove the last bits of mascara.)
How does the lotion arrive?
The lotion comes completely wrapped in plastic, so the bottle is well protected. You can easily remove the plastic. The bottle has the standard colours of the Mentholatum Acnes series (white, green, red and yellow). When the lotion arrives, you notice immediately that it is completely white in colour. I recommend to leave the bottle for a few hours so that the powder sinks back.

What does this lotion do?
This lotion ensures that your acne disappears like snow in the sun. It also goes against the roughness of the skin. The vitamin C in the lotion helps to improve the skin tone, so that it looks a little more even. Furthermore, this lotion offers hydration and deep cleaning of the pores. Due to the deep cleaning, the lotion ensures that the pores become smaller and less visible.

How should I use this lotion?
First you shake this lotion very well. I always shake it for one minute, so that I know for sure that all the powder has been taken well. The lotion now looks completely white (right picture). Apply the lotion on your face with a cotton pad. Take the whole face with you and apply some more on the problem areas of your face. Do not be alarmed if you have a tingling feeling on the face for the first two times or if it gives a very cooling effect. This is a good sign, because this does not only mean that your face will get used to the lotion, but that it will fight all the bacteria (which cause acne) as well. The cooling and fresh mint effect will always keep popping up after each use. This is also very normal and it belongs to the purpose of the lotion. Only stop using this lotion if your face starts to burn! That means that this acne product is not for you!

What did this lotion do for me?
As stated earlier, I am very satisfied with this product. So it really did a lot for me. It really fights against all bacteria on the skin that cause acne and my face also feels super smooth. My acne is reduced by more than half compared with the summers before. I hardly get large bumps anymore. Only sometimes pimples that I can fight with the Etude House AC Clean Up Pink Powder Spot. As for my pores ... They have indeed become smaller. I have always had large pores of myself and this is something that you can't get away for 100%, but this product does help. It also did something against my redness. My skin looks more even, and now I can confidently cross the street without make-up. I now hardly wear make-up when I walk around in the summer. That says a lot, because before, literally no one saw me without make-up on the street. I use this lotion not only throughout the summer when I really have acne, but also during the other seasons, because pimples can always pop up and this product is just perfect!

For which skin type is this product intended?
This product is officially meant for oily skin, but in my eyes it can handle any skin type. This product is mild and it does not irritate at all. I have combi-dry skin that is acne prone during the summer days and this product goes well with my skin type. So I would just recommend it for all skin types.
