Two weeks ago, I posted about my Simplicité Anti-Acne challenge.

I am now three weeks into my Simplicité regime, and I thought it was time to give you guys an update.

My skin went through its monthly hormonal fit last week, which basically means that I got hit with a wave of acne (3-4 spots on each cheek, the forehead, and the chin area, which equals to a whole lot of spots!). Thankfully, I was able to incorporate three brand new products into my regime to combat those spots. I started using the:

Anti-bacterial Serum - this smells like tea tree oil, and is so relaxing. It is really great for stopping 'developing' blemishes dead in their tracks;
Rosemary Blemish Gel - only a thin layer of this is needed on each zit. It heals blemishes really well. My blemishes were gone in 3 days!; and the
Waratah and Beetroot Nutritive Plant Mask - meant to moisturise the skin and calm breakouts and scars. This also smells like a dream and is such an easy mask to apply. I absolutely adore calming and moisturising masks because I feel like they are so beneficial to your skin.


Whilst my spots are still there, I feel like my new Simplicité regime has managed to calm them down a little, so that this time around, they weren't as dark and long-lasting as they were before.

Some things that I don't like about my skin are:

• Uneven skin - perhaps I'm shooting for the stars here, but I really would love to have egg-smooth skin and my skin is just bumpy and uneven
• Uneven skin tone - I had random patches of darker skin on my forehead and along my cheeks
• Raw, sensitive skin around my chin - this was from the use of too many exfoliating products.
• Oily skin - this happens on and off depending on what products I am using. Before starting this regime, my skin was very oily around my T-zone
• Acne scars - these lasted for months on end
• Acne - not big deal for me, because I usually only get small dots that go away pretty quickly, but the scars they leave behind are what annoys me the most
• Dull skin - I just want to scream at myself when I look in the mirror before I apply my foundation
• Large pores - I don't have gigantic pores, but it wouldn't hurt if they looked a little less prominent

If, like me, you suffer from adult acne, you may be interested in coming back in a couple of days to read Robin from Simplicité's responses to some questions I will be emailing her. Here are my questions:

• How well do these products help with anti-ageing?
• Are there any other products I can incorporate into this regime that will help me with my anti-ageing concerns without affecting the performance of this anti-acne range?
• If I wanted to incorporate some other serums into my regime, at what point in the regime should I apply them?
