Skin Saviour!! It will all BeFine ;)

It's already May and for many of us exams/finals are around the corner or already upon us. The stress, anxiety, lack of sleep all building up and wreaking havoc on our poor skin. In my case, I have a tendency to get cystic acne (quite possibly the worst kind because it's hard to treat topically and you can't pop any until weeks later when they get close to the skin) on my forehead and chin when i'm super stressed and lacking sleep. In addition to the enormous planets appearing on my face and the fact that they hurt like a b****, my skin has been drying out. I've seen this product in our local superpharm and always wanted to try it but I would force myself to shift focus and walk on by. One day I couldn't take it anymore and just had to buy it as I have to admit, I'm a sucker for packaging.

The BeFine Night Cream with Cocoa, Millet and Rice Bran is just wonderful!
A bit pricey at $100ttd a pop (1.7fl oz) or $30usd from the BeFine website.

What it claims to do:

• Increases elasticity and supports collagen growth
• • What: Rice Bran Proteins
  • Why: Helps in formation of collagen, provides protection for collagen and elasticity.
    
    
• Tightens skin and reduces wrinkles
• • What: Iris Florentina Root Extract
  • Why: Natural flower estrogens.
    
    
• Nourishes and feeds your skin proteins and vitamins
• • What: Rice Bran Oil (Oryza Sativa)
  • Why: Rice Bran Oil contains the highest amount of Vitamin E in natural form. The oil contains the Vitamin E antioxidant group including tocopherol, oryzanol and tocotrienol. These bio-available nutrients are used to soften and moisturize the skin.

So I can't really tell you about these claims since I've only been using it for about 3 days and I have no wrinkles, although I can vouge that it does moisturize the skin really well and absorbs very quickly leaving absolutely no sticky residue/feel.

The formula is very light, a slight scent but ALMOST like an unscented cream (which I find have a scent even though they're unscented), it smoothes your skin instantly (I did a back of the hand test by rubbing it on one and leaving the other and the one with the BeFine was silky smooth). You don't need much to cover your entire face, oh! and the bottle comes with a little pump which is lovely as it doesn't squirt out too much product.


I know I've only been using it for 3 days (well, nights) but:

• Day 1, the acne on my forehead were literally like big red bulbous planets that gave me headaches. They were horrible and I couldn't do a thing about them and nothing was working :'( I applied the night cream that night and when I woke the next morning my skin felt silky smooth and the bumps were significantly smaller.

• Day 2, it flared up slightly again but not as badly (and no headaches! yay!) so I applied the night cream that night as well. When I woke up the next day I swear to God the bumps were almost gone and even the ones on my chin were completely flat (though the marks were still there on my chin because I have hyper-pigmentation problems).

• Day 3, it has not flared up again, and they're ALMOST flat!!

I will continue to use this for the next few weeks and tell you what else I've noticed for instance if it has helped with my hyper-pigmentation, whether my skin is less dry (as I have combination skin, where the dry spots are EXTREMELY dry).

I was so amazed because I didn't expect the cream to really help with what was going on on my face, as I only intended to use it as a moisturizer for the night time (something new to try). Keep in mind that I do regularly moisturize my face (even before this product), but none of the products have done what this has. I LOVE it!! Even better that they're food skin care and NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS!

Ding ding ding! We have a winner!!! :)

I encourage any of you, who either want a moisturizer or a great, natural night cream, to invest in this product and see what greatness it does for your skin!
