New skincare rountine? WHAT?

I know I know. It's only been like, what? One month since I last posted my skincare routine? I have an excuse though. I have been using those same products for a while now so I needed a change. And I am a person who cannot live without change. I went to Sephora last week to redeem my 15% off coupon and was drawn to Boscia's skincare line especially their Clear Complexion Botanical Blast line.


I didn't buy the kit just yet. I wanted to try it out first. I asked the nice lady for some samples. I expected like maybe a sample of only the cleanser but she returned with 3 samples. The cleanser, toner and treatment. I bought the toner though because I had the coupon and I really do not like Murad's Clarifying Toner. Their stuff is too strong and it way too harsh on my sensitive skin. It also SMELLS harsh too. Like alcohol. Anyways, the Boscia one has almost no scent. It smells like herbs but I can't put my finger on which one. Basil, rosemary, I don't know. But it's a nice, clean smell. The only downside is the spray bottle it comes in. When you spray it on your face, there's a lot of extra toner that doesn't hit your face. What I do is I spray it on a cotton pad and then apply it to my face. The cleanser is awesome. Strips away my oil but not all my oil. It actually controls the shine on my face. I was so surprised. It's the first time I've seen a cleanser do that for me. And the treatment is nice too. Not harsh at all. My acne scars on my cheek, nose and chin are disappearing as well as the redness around my nose and chin area. AND I'VE BEEN ONLY USING THIS LINE FOR A WEEK. Isn't it amazing? This line contains willowbark so that must be the magic ingredient. ALL HAIL WILLOWBARK.
