Juice Beauty Blemish Clearing SerumIs anyone else breaking out like crazy right now? No? Just me? Oh

Juice Beauty Blemish Clearing SerumIs anyone else breaking out like crazy right now? No? Just me? Oh, okay. Well, for the select few of you who are on the express train to pimpleville with me, I have a cool new product that may be of some interest. This is the Juice Beauty Blemish Clearing Serum ($38CAD/$30USD) and it’s something different from just your ordinary pimple spot treatments.Before we get on with the review, can we just talk about the word “pimple”? I feel like it’s such an underused word because it has such negative connotations in the beauty community. Wow, Taylor, you really analyzed that word. But seriously. Everyone either says blemish or acne or spot or breakout. I don’t hear anyone saying ˆpimple anymore and for some reason, that bothers me a lot. Everyone gets pimples and whether that number be ten or twenty or just one, they’re just a fact of life and not something to be embarrassed about. Heck, I have a good nine pimples on my face right now with another three below the surface threatening to pop out any second and I honestly don’t care. Wow, we’ve come a long way in my self esteem since my teenager days. Good on ya, Tay. Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming.  So, I don’t know about you but I didn’t know a whole lot about Juice Beauty before I sat down to write this post. I’ve definitely heard the name before as it’s a brand carried at Sephora but that was about the extent of it. Juice Beauty is all about creating organic and natural formulations that perform as well as conventional beauty products yet never compromise on that luxurious experience! It’s a Farm To Beauty kind of company focusing on being organic with no parabens, sulfates, petroleum, silicones, pesticides or artificial dyes and fragrances. That’s only half of it. The list goes on. So this Blemish Clearing Serum is designed to reduce breakouts, unclog pores and even your skintone. It contains willow bark, salicylic acid and organic fruit acids that work together to kill those pesky pimples. But that’s not all! This serum also contains Vitamin C to fade those acne marks while organic aloe renews the skin and makes it glowy and hydrated!So what separates this product from your typical spot treatment? Well, it’s a serum so you can cover the entire affected area instead of just concentrating on the individual pimples so this is a great product for someone experiencing a cluster of breakouts in one spot or all over their face (AKA ME). Another reason that I love this serum is because I can mix in a few drops of the serum into my foundation. I have been a huge fan of the Clinique Acne Solutions foundation and the Almay Clear Complexion foundation (essentially just foundations containing salicylic acid) in the past so this serum allows me to turn any of my foundations into a blemish fighting makeup! Handy, right? It also gives my foundation a slightly matte but hydrated look which I dig!But before this review is over, we must discuss if this serum actually helped the state of my skin. If I’m being honest, I would have to say no. But hear me out. I have been battling with acne since I was 13. That’s ten years of breakouts. So A little serum like this isn’t going to cure my skin overnight. It’s a long, hard fight. Plus it only has 0.75% salicylic acid in it so that low of a concentration is really not what my skin needs. But, by mixing it in with my foundation so it sits on my skin during the day, it does help to keep my pimples under control. So for that I am thankful and that makes this serum a winner in my books! *ftc disclaimer: Products were sent free of charge for review consideration. All opinions are my own.
