Mizon Trouble Clinic Acence Blemish Control Soothing Gel Cream Review

WHAT IS IT: Mizon Trouble Clinic Acence Blemish Control Soothing Gel Cream


THE PRODUCT(S):

Mizon Trouble Clinic Acence Blemish Control Soothing Gel Cream: Supplies troubled skin with abundant moisture which contains patented acne treatment ingredients, which balances skin oil and moisture and prevents skin from becoming sensitive and dry. It absorbs easily without stickiness.


Cleanliness is the first step for preventing troubles. ACNATURAL FORMULA includes unique patent ingredients which is very effective for trouble relief and prevents troubles and protects skin from becoming sensitive by irritation. It forms a skin-protecting film that prevents more skin troubles.



This product is a cloudy color with the consistency of gel that is almost watery/runny, but yet easy to apply without spills nor fuss. Can't really put a finger to exactly what type of scent it reminds me of, but I am definitely detecting a scent no doubt.


VERDICT: So, after a somewhat thorough/detailed check on Google for an English version of this product, I managed to find out that this Soothing Gel Cream contains active ingredients that includes Hyaluronic Acid, Lemon Extract and Raspberry Extract among others (List of detailed active ingredients), so I was actually anticipating a somewhat close to sweet scent. Despite there being some sort of scent to this product, I just cannot exactly pinpoint what type of scent it is. But, knowing that the scent isn't overpowering or make you nauseous is actually a good thing. Even if products that are meant for acne and blemish are scented/perfumed, it shouldn't be too heavy to the point it puts you off into even trying it. So, the scent for this product is just right.


For the product itself, the color is actually cloudy/milky and the consistency of this soothing gel cream is more gel-based than cream-based. And we all know that gel-based cream are actually much better, in terms of applying it on our pesky acne spots. Creams seemed too rich for a pimple that is close to the point of ripening or has already ripened, and extra care must be taken from that particular stage onward to ensure that the has-been acne won't get too serious to the point of scarring.


Personally, I like that when I applied this Soothing Gel Cream on my blemish scars and post-acne spot, it actually leaves a cooling sensation that helps soothe the pain from acne. Because it is gel-based, I find that it is easy to apply onto my acne and blemish spots without spills nor fuss encountered. And it doesn't make my pores feel anymore clogged too. And hours after application, my face doesn't feel sticky nor look oily at all, which I am glad for.


As this product has Ivy Extract that reduces swelling caused by acne, I find that it actually does what the ingredient promised. Just 1 day after using this, my post-acne actually look less red than before and the swelling looks slightly more subsided than before. And with Lemon Extract, I positively sure that my blemish scars looks a little more fainter than before. No doubt, with extended use, this product can definitely help reduce my blemish scars and at the same time, help soothe my red angry looking acne spots, even though it's stated specifically that it's for "Blemish Control".


And luckily, despite transferring the product from sachet to reusable container, I am happy to announce that the color didn't change nor did the consistency and texture of this product suffered at all, as compared to the previous Mizon Acence Blemish Spot Solution Serum, which practically made me feel a little hesitant about trying this Soothing Gel Cream. And I dare say it is working slightly better than the TBS Tea Tree Blemish Fade Night Lotion.


VERDICT: ✓✓✓


WHAT I THINK: Surprisingly, this is one of the few Korean products that seems to work for me.

Mizon Trouble Clinic Acence Blemish Spot Solution Serum Review

WHAT IS IT: Mizon Trouble Clinic Acence Blemish Spot Solution Serum


THE PRODUCT(S):

Mizon Trouble Clinic Acence Blemish Spot Solution Serum: Serum to prevent rashes applied directly to the area of ​​inflammation. Thanks to the unique patented ingredients and your own formula (Acnatural Formula) serum Mizon Acence Blemish spot solution serum with constant use interrupts during chronic inflammation and helps get rid of acne.


Whey has the function of sebum control, enabling production to normalize skin zhira. Post application instantly soothes irritated skin, bringing relief. Blocks the inflammatory process caused by bacteria, greatly reduces the redness, swelling, and the appearance of inflammatory elements.



I didn't detect any type of scent from this product. When I transferred this product to a reusable pot, the solution was clear, however, less than a few days later, the color went from transparent/clear to cloudy. Not exactly sure if this is supposed to happen.


VERDICT: This product doesn't seem to have any type of scent or fragrance at all, unlike the other Mizon products I have been reviewing lately. And this could be a good thing as acne is actually troublesome and scented/perfumed products meant for acne woes might aggravate the acne problem we already have on our skin. Maybe the manufacturers in charge of this product actually thought of this issue and thus ensure that this product isn't scented nor perfumed in any way. Although I am sure that the ingredients that went into this product should at least give it some sort of related scent.


The product itself when transferred from sample sachet to reusable container turns out clear with a consistency that is close to runny. However, a few days later, the product went from transparent to a light milky color. And get this, I didn't purposely did anything to make it go from transparent to milky. Nope, it was all the product on it's own which I never did any type of weird experiments nor intervention. And on top of that, the product went from somewhat runny/watery to suddenly coagulated as well. And I didn't even get to finish the entire sample sachet at all.


Despite that weird scenario, I like the fact that this product when applied on my acne spots didn't try to aggravate my acne at all. However, as this product is meant mostly for blemish spot clearing, I took care to ensure that my old acne and blemish scars are taken care of with this product. Luckily, it didn't give me more acne when used but yet, it didn't made my acne and blemish scars fade at all. Thinking that just from one day of usage won't let me see any different, I dutifully applied it for another 2 more days before the product went from transparent to milky.


Maybe this is yet another product that can only guarantee results when used long-term, although I am just simply glad that it didn't make my pores feel clogged nor give me more acne-related problems when using it. Although it is definitely a little creepy to see this product's color and consistency changed in less than half a week's time. Or it could be because it was exposed to the surrounnding and weather air on and off which resulted in that change. And I have to be honest that this is really the first time a acne/blemish related product had such a change in color and consistency.


And after the 4th day of using, this product just practically looks dried up in my reusable pot up to the point I am feeling a little freaked out in using something which it's color and consistency has suddenly changed drastically with no apparent reason. I really dread to know what will happen if I bought the actual retail size version if I didn't get this sample to try out. The entire big bottle turning cloudy and looking like dried up glue, ack!


VERDICT: ✓✓


WHAT I THINK: This product doesn't make my pores feel clogged, but the weird change in it makes me spooked.
