The first summer month has passed, but we have not noticed. A series of hot days made itself felt – black dots and other imperfections on the face became more noticeable? We in the editorial team found a solution on how to get rid of them, or at least smooth out their manifestation, by testing the new items that were released in June.
At the beginning of summer
Purification Master
Those who know for themselves what blackheads and acne are, learned a long time ago that random skin cleansing products are not suitable for them. Many anti-comedone products dry out the skin to some extent, so for washing you need a gel, cream or foam that cleans the pores well, removes excess sebum and at the same time softens and moisturizes the skin.
Iso-Biome H Iso-Biome Soothing Cleansing Cream-Gel, Effaclar, La Roche-Posay
La Roche-Posay has a lot of experience in cleansing problematic skin. It is no coincidence that this summer the brand released a cream-gel that gently removes impurities, moisturizes the epidermis and fights imperfections. The formula of the product has everything that oily problem skin needs.
Aqua Posae Filiformis complex with mannose regulates the skin microbiome and restores its protective functions.
Niacinamide helps fight imperfections.
Shea butter moisturizes and strengthens the skin’s natural protective barrier.
La Roche-Posay thermal water soothes and comforts the skin.
Editor’s opinion: “I am a big fan of the brand’s cleansers, so I was happy to test the new product. Quite thick, but at the same time not viscous, the agent is well distributed, forming a delicate foam. For optimal effect, I advise you to massage your face a little while washing. Immediately after applying the cream-gel, there was no feeling of tightening, the skin was perfectly cleansed. At first glance, the black dots became noticeably smaller. I can definitely say that I will use this product and recommend it to my friends.”
Recovery Genius
By the way, as a follow-up care, I advise you to use a soothing regenerating cream from the same line.
Ultra-Soothing Imperfection Revitalizing Treatment H Iso-Biome, Effaclar, La Roche-Posay
It has the same advantages as the cream-gel. It has a creamy texture and spreads well over the skin, restoring the skin barrier.
An obvious plus for me, the use of both products in combination is the reduction of discomfort associated with overdrying of the skin after using active products to combat imperfections. By the way, I noticed another wonderful effect: the cream perfectly fights with traces of post-acne and prevents the appearance of new imperfections. In its composition:
Aqua Posae Filiformis restores the protective properties of problem skin and regulates its microbiome;
a complex with niacinamide, panthenol and squalane soothes the skin and restores its protective barrier;
complex with annatto extract and prokerade fights imperfections and regulates sebum production;
thermal water La Roche-Posay soothes the skin.
against imperfections
According to statistics, 640 million people worldwide suffer from acne. Regardless of gender and age, this skin problem remains the #1 reason for visiting dermatologists. Factors that can influence the appearance of acne can be divided into internal and external. Internal factors include hormonal changes and psychological stress, while external factors include exposure to ultraviolet radiation, weather, and polluted air.
Probiotic renewing serum against skin imperfections Normaderm, Vichy
Considering all of the above, we took this novelty for a test at the beginning of the summer.
Probiotic renewing serum corrects skin problems in the form of imperfections, blackheads, enlarged pores, and evens out its relief and accelerates renewal. A whole team of active ingredients is responsible for this.
Salicylic acid (1%) penetrates the pores, cleans them and prevents the appearance of new blackheads.
Glycolic acid (4%), an AHA, exfoliates the skin and accelerates cell renewal, reduces pigmentation and imperfections.
The probiotic fraction (5%) strengthens the protective barrier of the skin and improves its protective functions.
Vichy Volcanic Water strengthens the skin’s barrier function.

Editor’s opinion: “We recommend using the serum in the evening. Apply it on cleansed face 10-15 minutes before the main treatment, avoiding the area around the eyes. Be sure to use sunscreen with a UV protection factor (SPF) of at least 20 during the day.”
Sun protection
The Garnier brand strives to optimize the environmental and social impact of its products throughout their lifecycle. What does it mean? Continuous improvement of all stages of production and use, as well as the provision of complete information to consumers, which allows them to act more consciously when choosing products. To do this, a product impact labeling system was launched. More details about it can be found here.
Sun milk for face and body Ambre Solaire with shea butter, 24h moisture, waterproof, SPF 30, Garnier
In summer, you can’t do without sunscreen milk even in the city, not to mention vacation. In addition to filters that protect against rays of types A and B, the composition of the product from Garnier includes shea butter, which additionally nourishes and softens the skin. Excellent product with a high degree of protection. Protecting the skin from the sun, it simultaneously cares for it and gives a feeling of comfort.
Editor’s opinion: “The milk can be used for the face and for the body. It does not leave white marks on the skin and, which is especially pleasant, on clothes. I think it’s great for aging skin because it keeps the sun from attacking and prevents the formation of age spots. Protects against sunburn and photoaging.
