Welcome to this post: Aubrey Organics vs Proactiv Acne Treatment.
Aubrey Organics vs Proactiv Acne Treatment
No matter how many blog posts I do about Aubrey Organics, my words will not be sufficient in communicating the impact that this brand has had on my life.
Throughout my successes as an athlete and nutrition conscious individual, I have had the hardest time (especially as a teen) in keeping a clear facial complexion. As cliche as it is, I have truly tried most remedies for acne (both homemade & store bought). I had some success using the Proactiv acne treatment products but was quickly deterred when I read the ingredient list on the bottles.
Proactiv acne treatment products remind me of diet pills, they might be “effective” in addressing the issue (losing weight or clearing acne) however they can be detrimental to the health of your body.
They are a quick fix to a problem that is related to the overall well being of your body. I could go all day talking about how crucial my switch to a organic facial products has been to my peace of mind and overall health.
Now, to brag on Aubrey a bit….
Aubrey Organics Facial products come in a range from 1 to 5. 1 being for skin that is very dry and sensitive and 5 for skin that is very oily. I evaluated my skin to be around a 4, which Aubrey calls “Combination Oily Skin.” I also intermittently use the product for “3” skin, which Aubrey calls “Normal” skin.
The two products I use on a daily basis are Aubrey Organics’ Blue Green Algae Facial Cleansing Lotion followed by the Blue Green Algae Moisturizer.
1. Aubrey Organics Blue Green Algae Facial Cleansing Lotion
-Aubrey Organics’ Description:
“Soothing formula cleans and balances the complexion and gently exfoliates with active enzymes and a mild castile soap base.”
-My Description & Thoughts:
The consistency is just as it sounds, creamy and lotion-like. It is so gentle on my skin and feeling very nourishing, yet effective. It can also be used daily without drying out skin. It doesn’t feel, at all, like it’s stripping the skin. This is my go to cleanser. Great ingredient list, very effective and has a pleasant herbal smell. Love this product.
2. Aubrey Organics Blue Green Algae Moisturizer
-Aubrey Organics’ Description:
“Light antioxidant formula helps protect skin from sun exposure and pollution and restore moisture and elasticity without clogging pores.”
-My Description & Thoughts:
This moisturizer is the perfect compliment to the cleansing lotion. It is the perfect balance of moisturizing and not goopy. I can put this on my skin after washing my face in the morning and my skin absorbs it just enough so that I don’t feel like I have a heavy layer on my freshly washed skin. It smells just like the cleanser and has a very pleasant aroma. Great ingredient list in this product too. Wonderful moisturizer to have on hand.
*A little not so obvious use for this moisturizer: before applying eye shadow, I mix this moisturizer with a bit of concealer and apply it to my eye lid. This makes a perfect primer!
Jes- would love more product reviews/recommendations for under 10-15 bucks, and possibly found at retailers to save even more $$ on shipping! For example, I’ve always been curious about the organic beauty and health products at central market and whole foods. Love these posts!
Whole foods carries Aubrey products! All if not most Aubrey products are under 15$. Not sure about Central market–we don’t have those here in KS I don’t think. Thanks for reading mu stuff Audie 🙂
