Spectra Soft Laser Peel - My Review

I've done a lot of skin treatments with my dermatologist, Dr. Margaret Corcoran for quite a while now. My acne is now controlled and my deep scars have improved a lot. But I still have a lot of open pores. I did have a session of fractional CO2 laser before, but I haven't had time to undergo another session because I needed to go on leave after the procedure and I can't afford to do so. So my dermatologist suggested the newest treatment in her clinic - Spectra Soft Laser Peel. She said that it's a no downtime treatment for acne and acne-prone skin, oily skin, open pores and dark skin blemishes. She said that it can tighten my pores in around 5 treatments. I got really curious about it so I tried it.

Right after the laser treatment, I just had a little pinkish blush for around 2 hours and it faded out afterwards. There were no scabs, no ugly peeling off. But after 5 days, I noticed that my skin got brighter and softer. Plus after the 3rd session, I noticed significant tightening of my pores, especially around the nose area. The improvement was even way better after the 5th session.

I also noticed that the oiliness of my skin has decreased. My skin looks brighter as well. I get a lot of compliments on the great improvement of my skin. :)

CorDerm Acne Defense Foam Wash - My Maintenance Anti-Acne Facial Wash

I had really bad acne problem before and I have an extreme fear of having the same kind of breakouts again. I don't really get pimples on a regular basis, so my dermatologist, Dr. Margaret Corcoran recommended CorDerm Acne Defense Foam Wash, a facial wash that will decrease the oiliness of my skin and prevent pimples at the same time.

I like this facial wash because even though it controls my skin's oiliness, it does not make it feel so dry and tight. And it also kinda prevents blackheads and whiteheads; I noticed that I don't have to do monthly facials with my dermatologist anymore. So I'm saving money at the same time! I also noticed that since I've used this facial wash, I haven't had any pimples cropping up. It's a good acne prevention and oil control wash.

CorDerm Oil Control Toner - Eliminates Oil and Reduces My Breakouts!

My acne problem is now minimized and my old Clinda + Azelaic toner I think is not the right toner for me anymore. So I asked my dermatologist if she can give me a maintenance toner for everyday use, something that will reduce the oiliness of my skin (which can be pretty bad, like you can fry an egg kind of oily. Yuk!). She recommended the CorDerm Oil Control Toner.

I've been using this product for 2 weeks now and I like it. Though it's an oil control toner, it doesn't over dry my skin and doesn't burn or sting when I apply it. Plus in 2 weeks, I notice that my skin is less red, smoother and clearer. My small pimples and blackheads seem to have dried out also. I can even use it multiple times during the day since it's very gentle. This is my everyday toner now and I will keep on using it.
