My Facial Complexion's Backstory
'Bread face' a name for people with acne scars all over their face. A name that translates "your looks are not enough for the society". A name that's engraved in my mind ever since my teenage years. I don't talk about this often, in fact I don't talk about this at all but, it is time. The time have come for all to know that I never had a perfect complexion. In the contrary, my complexion was horrible. With the lack of knowledge in skincare and the over-production of sebum, my skin was frightful. I had pimples everywhere. Especially on my nose. It was such a hot spot that I was Rudolph the red-nose reindeer for the longest amount of time.
At first, all the name did not bug me. I was still in my wonderland, more focused on having a good time with my friends. One day, my hormones started to kick in and I was very aware on what people said about me and labelled me. That was when my pimples receded and the scars started to form. I went from being 'Rudolph the red-nose reindeer' to 'Bread face'. I guess, I'm more fond of being a reindeer than being a bread because there's nothing much to say about bread. It's quite a straight-forward name. Your face have dents in it thus 'Bread face'. I remember feeling offended by that name but yet I could not penalized the person saying it for it's true. My complexion was bad for I do not know how to take care of it.
In truth as mentioned in my about me page, my idea of a skincare regime is a pimple cream and moisturizer. My knowledge of skincare was a blank at least until 5 years ago. Forwarding up to 5 years later, my skin have changed for the better. Even so, I still have those scars from my teenage years - if you zoom into my photos. Besides that, I would also get acne here and there during that time of the month. I used to be panicky about all these but this time it's different thanks to Hiruscar Anti Acne Range.

How to use Hiruscar Anti Acne Pore Purifying Serum
After cleansing apply serum on to face twice a day - morning and before bed
My Verdict: Hiruscar Anti Acne Pore Purifying Serum
Like the cleanser, the Hiruscar Anti Acne Pore Purifying Serum is rather runny. As mentioned in it's properties, the serum acts as both a toner and a moisturizer. What I like about this is the fact that it reduces my skincare routine. Saving time and money at the same time. Besides that, one could feel that the serum is on the line of being both a moisturizer and toner. Although it may look like a watery, it does feels thick enough to be a very light-weighted moisturizer. At the end of the day, it still feels like a serum.
Moving on to it's scent. Unlike the fresh scent that the cleanser have, the serum was contradistinctive. It smelled like a mix of herbal remedy and synthetic mixture. Personally, I am more into floral or fruits scent so I was not a huge fan of it's fragrance. Despite that, I was rather fond of the serum for it is light-weighted and help reduce the oiliness on my face. Yet, I did not see a change in my pores be it becoming bigger or shrinking in size.
To sum up, I would give Hiruscar Anti Acne Pore Purifying Serum 3 IreviewUread smiles. I like how it's a 2 in 1 product which reduces one's skincare steps. It does it's job in controlling the sebum without drying out the face while being light-weighted . In spite of that, I was still not fond of it's fragrance and it did nothing to my pores.
Step 3: Hiruscar Anti Acne Spot Gel
- Salicylic Acid - Reduces dead skin cells
- Aloe Vera - Soothe redness
- MPS (Mucopolysaccharide polysulphate) - Maintains skin moisture
- Vitamin C - Lighten dark marks
- Chamomile Extract - Soothe and condition irritated skin
- Artichoke Extract - Prevents dryness and enhances skin's moisture
- Allium Cepa - Antiseptic extract which prevents scar proliferation
- Larycil - Mushroom extract that has astringent, pore tightening and moisturizing effects
Finally the last product, Hiruscar Anti Acne Spot gel. The star product from the range. Not only does it help reduce acne problemsbut it helps with the anti-acne benefits too. The vitamin C in it's ingredients helps to lighten acne spots and dark marks. Whereas the MPS helps maintain the skin's moisture. Needless to say, I was ecstatic to try out this product.

How to use Hiruscar Anti Acne Spot Gel?
Apply a thin layer on affected areas, 2 to 3 times a day
As seen in the swatch, the gel comes out clear. The nozzle of the product helped control the amount used - a great feature spot gels. Alike the serum, it does have a slight synthetic mixture to it.
Upon application, the Hiruscar Anti Acne Spot Gel did felt thick and cooling. Besides to that, I like how it is clear thus no one needs to know that you have acne cream on. One should allow it to absorb before putting on makeup to prevent the uneven application.
I've used this on the small pimple above my lips, the acne on my nose bridge and the scars on my cheeks for two days straight. I did find my pimple above my lips disappeared and the acne on my nose bridge shrunk. The redness on my scar area did lighten but my age old scars were still nesting at it's spot. My pores also look the same.
All in all, I would give Hiruscar Anti Acne Spot Gel 4 IreviewUread smiles. It did made those pesky pimples on my face disappear in a matter of 2 days and lighten the redness of my scars too. My skin also did not feel any dryness while it was working on those zits. As pointed out above, I was not too fond the scent and my old scars looked the same, thus the reduction of smiles. However, do take into consideration that old scars will need a longer time to disappear. Thus don't rule out this product yet. In conclusion, for a product which destroyed pimples and lighten dark spots in a short period, the Hiruscar Anti Acne Spot Gel did well.
The Ultimate Before and After - Acne improvement in 2 days!
You've heard my backstory and seen my acne problems up close. It's time to look at the full picture. From the pictures, I was able to tell certain spots on my skin disappeared after 2 days. On top of that, I like my new 3 steps skincare routine as opposed to my old 6 steps skincare routine.
Out of the 3 products I like the cleanser the best due to it's fresh scent. Whereas the spot gel is suitable for those who are looking for non-drying pimple creams. Plus, prolong usage of the spot gel can gradually reduce one's scars. I love how the serum is a 2 in 1 product, toning and moisturising the face at the same time.
