l ' l l be honest, I wasn't feeling this skincare l ine at all at the beginning because I had never heard of it.

I knew that cosmeceuticals (pharmacy/medical grade skincare) offered better results than regular skincare

lines that you'd buy at your beauty counter or your drugstore/pharmacy, but I had never tried a complete line

before. I had tried a few products here and there, but had not committed to any line for my entire beauty

regime.

I also will be honest and I say that I was quite concerned with dryness. Since the Biophora products I was

using where specifically to help fight my pesky adult acne, I wasn't sure if I was going to end up with

sandpaper-skin.

I started with Biophora's trial kit (which makes for PERFECT travel size containers) and I was quite skeptical

when I was told these small sizes would last me one month. Well, before going into more details about my

regime, I can confirm that not only did these products last me one month, I still had loads of product left after

the one-month mark so this makes me quite happy because it means the products will go a long way.

It took me some adjusting to the whole routine because it's more steps than I usually have in my morning

and night time beauty regime, but now, it's as normal as bushing my teeth.

Here's my Biophora daily beauty (and acne buster) regime:

=> Biophora Bioactive Cleanser (morning and night)

t

=> Biophora Antibacterial veil (for the night)

=> Biophora Bioactive Gel 8% (morning and night)

=> Biophora Bioactive Solution 3% (tor the night)

=> Biophora Light Hydration (this hydrates and firms!)

The biggest advantages I've noticed with Biophora werel

1) you really don't need to use a lot of product (in fact using too much will not give you better results, you

just end up wasting good moneY)

2) The products heal my skin at a speed l've never seen before

3) When I do have a break-out the anti-bacterial ingredients immediately get to work and control the flare-

ups (so I don't start with one pimple on Monday and end up with a face covered by Wednesday)

4) My pimples don't hang out for very long

5) The products are gentle enough to use after my peels

6) The line is scented so gently you can barely smell anything which is per{ect because l'm allergic to so

many synthetic smells

It,s true that the containers aren't sexy (they are quite plain to be honest) and it's true you need a reference

from your doctor and you need to be followed by your doctor when you use the Biophora line, but it's well

worth it.

Biophora will be more expensive than most brands you'll buy at the drugstore/pharmacyMal-Mart, but they

will be less expensive than many of the higher brands you'd buy at your favourite beauty counter.

I'm not sure if l've mentioned this before, but this line is so smad because not only does it help you control'your acne, but the line is full of anti-aging ingredients to protect your skin while keeping it acne-freel

One last thing, I know I'm getting peels (my cosmetic doctor also uses Biophora products for my peel) to

help lighten my acne scars, but it turns out many of the products I use daily contain Kojic Acid which help

lighten my skin!

lf you missed my first post on my peel, you can catch it here:

Biophora is a Canadian-based company, but sells its products in six countries: U.S., lreland, New Zealand,

Denmark, Greece and China (Hong Kong only).

you'll find out more about Biophora here and you can ask them for doctors in your country that carry the

line: Biophora Skincare

I'm quite happy with the Biophora line and l'm happy to continue using it because the results are compelling

and I've gotten so many people have asked me if I just came back from vacation. lf I wasn't only sleeping 4-

5 hours per night, I might have thought it was just a ccincidence, but given the few hours l've been sleeping

lately, I know that my glowing skin has nothing to do with a good night's rest, but everything to do with the

new skincare l ine l 'm using!
