00:00It kind of reminds me of like a lifesaver from like Star Wars.
00:06Hey, I'm Larisse and for this Try This Challenge, I'm going to be doing a bunch of different
00:10acne spot treatments.
00:12I've suffered from acne for as long as I can remember.
00:16I have really oily skin, so it's something that has just like become a part of my life.
00:21Everything gives me acne.
00:23I'm just this acne person.
00:24This is the Neutrogena Light Therapy.
00:28Oh, these are really fun.
00:31These are the acne stickers.
00:33I think the packaging is so cute.
00:35I'm a sucker for good packaging.
00:37So from my understanding is like you just take these clear dots and stick them where you
00:43have like a zit or like think a zit is coming.
00:46Don't pick it, just stick it.
00:48That's the slogan, okay?
00:49These two are from Dr. Pimple Popper.
00:53I am such a fan.
00:56This one is the acne spot treatment, the benzoyl peroxide.
01:01I'm excited about this one, especially if it's Pimple Popper.
01:05Trust her, she pops pimples for a living.
01:08This is the Sicylic Acid one.
01:10I'm most excited to try the stickers just because they look fun.
01:14One of these has to work, right?
01:16Overall, I'm really excited to try all these products.
01:19So make sure you follow along as I go on this journey for the next few days trying all these
01:23new acne spot treatments.
01:26So it is day one of my spot treatment challenge.
01:31So this is the Sandra Lee Acne Spot Treatment 10% benzoyl peroxide.
01:37And it says to apply to the affected area three times a day.
01:41Okay, so I just hold this on my face for two minutes, I think.
01:50I will say that the two-minute thing is kind of annoying.
01:55Cool.
01:55I like that it tells you when it's done.
01:57And so I've got a little bit of bumpiness right around here.
02:02I would say the Sicylic Acid one, the Roll-On, is probably my favorite so far.
02:10It's so easy.
02:10It's my acne stickers, so I'm trying it now.
02:13I have all my products on and now these two guys I'm sleeping with.
02:19That didn't sound right, but you know what I mean.
02:22Goodnight.
02:23The light therapy part is still kind of the same.
02:28I think it may just need like more days over time, I'm still optimistic.
02:34The Sicylic Acid I've been putting on my forehead.
02:37I think this is the one that like really has to get worse before it gets better because
02:42I kind of notice more bumps.
02:44Yep, well two minutes.
02:46This is annoying.
02:48I also just feel like it doesn't feel like it's doing anything.
02:53So I'm a few days in and I must say I'm starting to really see a really nice improvement in
02:58my skin.
02:59If you'll remember, this is the side I used, the benzoyl peroxide.
03:04It's just looking a lot smoother and also a lot brighter, which is like something I wasn't
03:09expecting to see.
03:10The only one I haven't really seen a ton of improvement is the Neutradrina Light Therapy,
03:16which I used on this area.
03:18This area sort of seems about the same to me.
03:22Um, I also did the sticky things and a ton of really disgusting white things came out
03:27of this bump here.
03:29My favorite is still probably this one.
03:33The Sandra Lee's Sicylic Acid one.
03:36Um, just because, you know, it rolls on super easy for me.
03:41Like, I'm so busy at work and just to be able to like pop the top on this bad boy
03:46and be
03:47able to just roll it on sort of like lip gloss for my forehead.
03:50That was weird, but like kind of the deal.
03:52Definitely now I'm feeling more confident in my skin and feeling like it is ready to go
03:58out.
04:00So I'm all finished with my three day acne spot treatment challenge.
04:04I'm really glad I did it.
04:05I feel like I learned a lot about my skin.
04:07If there's one thing out of that challenge that I will keep is the Dr. Pimple Popper
04:11Sicylic Acid like roll on one because it's so easy to just stick in my bag.
04:16But overall it was a lot of fun.
04:17Sometimes your acne has to get worse before it gets better.
04:20Um, I feel like nobody likes that, but you kind of just have to deal with it.
