Alright I'll just tell you up front.
Skincerity is under
Nucerity, what I and alot of people call a "MLM" (
multi-level marketing) company.
I'm NOT a member of
Nucerity though, so I will be blogging this review unbiased and with no motive.
I got this product through my uncle, who is also NOT a member but he was asking around for products that could help my skin as he knew that I was having problems. (What a sweet uncle T.T I'm so blessed)
So he got this product from a friend who was a member and claimed that this helped his bad skin turn about from worse than mine to quite alright now. When he FB messaged me to tell me about Skincerity I think he didn't know the product well enough also, he said that it was "some magic thing
lah" lol.
So anyways I got this product from him on the
19th of April when I did my Senior Project presentation and took some pictures of my skin on the
19th of May, a bit more than a week ago.

I guess the acne-scars ARE
lightened somewhat? Loverboy mentioned that my skin became
smoother already, and it couldn't be because of
Acne.org (read about it
here) because Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5 doesn't smoothen the skin. Hey, the magic worked then! Please work faster >.<
How does it work then? Well, as the box said it was a "
nightly breathable masque", so you just roll it all over your face before you sleep. The product comes in a deodorant shaped glass bottle, just use it like a deodorant! Except that you don't use it on your armpits okay lol. It rolls on transparent colored like a peeling mask, and you either wipe it off with the special cloth given with the box, or wash it away with your cleanser. I prefer to
attack wipe at it with the cloth first and then cleanse my face with the normal routine (which is kinda ironic because The Regimen under
Acne.org doesn't recommend touching your skin too much due to irritation)
Oh but remember not to breathe when you apply because it freaking
stinks. I still cough and gasp and run around sucking fresh air every night I apply it ahaha!

| Ingredients |
As you can see there's
Acetone in it as the main ingredient which is also what we use to rub off nail polish. However, people who are "for" this product claims that it is a different Acetone which is not harsh on skin and only used to make the mask dry speedily. Sure enough, that's what I smell every night when I apply. I don't like the fact that they use
fragrance in this product though, because it's supposingly bad.

Another pros of this product is that you can use it over any product and any regimen that you're currently using, as it is a breathable mask, meaning that it'll make your products more effective while at the same time improving your skin. Good anot?
Pros:
-Works!
-lightens scars
-smoothens skin
-partners with any other product/regimen that you use
-can use for quite some time (already 5 weeks, I think it can last up to 2 months)
Cons:
-stinks
-expensive (around RM300 I think, not sure about that)
-hard to get (comment or FB message me if you want it, I'll ask my uncle)
-little pieces stick to your hair after you wash it off (just me being petty)
-Uses fragrance
SO? Do you think that it's good? I think for a lot of us,
price is a big deal and this product IS a little of the expensive side. However, don't just listen to me; go and research about it and then only decide whether you need this product.
My concern is only with acne scars though, I have read some reviews claiming that it works on wrinkles as well, so it's
anti-aging apparently too.
That's it, folks!
Cheers :)
