Review: Nexcare 3M Acne Patch

Acnes have always been my skin's best friends, because they always appear on my face like every alternate day.. Everytime they came over for a stay, I will have to treat them with some Nexcare 3M Acne Patch so that they will go off sooner....I have many other acne products (gel/cream/device) but I will use these patches most of the times, along with other acne gel/cream when the acnes sort of subsided. I have bought countless packs over the past one year or so..

Product: Nexcare 3M Acne Patch

Benefits:

• Waterproof & breathable
• Prevents Infection
• Absorbs Acne Secretion
• Soothes Burning & Aching

Ingredients: Polyisobutene, Polyisoprene Cellulose Gum, Croscarmellose

Directions of use:

Recently I took picture of my horrible acne prior to using the Nexcare acne patch to show the effectiveness:

 - Instead of squeezing the acne, I pasted an acne patch over it.

See the difference, just pasting it overnight....

Nexcare 3M Acne Patches are available in different variety and even fun shapes such as hearts and stars..

Nexcare 3M Acne Patch Packs are available at Watsons, Guardian, Leading Supermarkets and Hypermarts. Prices range from $3.95- $7.95, and for a start you can get the trial pack which consists of 4 heart-shape & 4 star-shape patches at only $1.

It definitely feel good when you see the acne patch turned white, and seeing the secretion being absorbed into the patch.

Have fun!

Creating Double Eyelid Effect Using 3M Tape

Although my skill is not good, I think the double eyelid tape did make my hidden eyelid became double eyelid effect...


Actually 3M tape is quite useful if we can manage to cut the eyelid shapes properly.. but I always spend alot of time cutting evenly as it is hard to cut out two identical shapes from the tape... but one good thing about 3M tape it is cheap and it has a translucent clear texture, without any holes making it not so obvious. (More natural looking I should say!)

 I bought this 3M tape with holder around $3.50 at one of the beauty toiletries shops at Ang Mo Kio ( saw them at Toa Payoh too) ... normally I will replenish my 3M beauty tape at Guardian, and they cost less than $3 per roll, without the holder. With the holder, I don't have to worry that the rims will get stick with dirt and dust. ( But can also keep inside a small ziplock bag if you do not have the holder.)

3M Blenderm beauty tape is definitely one of my favourite double eyelid stickers!


Update 29 Aug 2011: Picture taken at Guardian Store [3M Tapes sold at Guardian are the same as the ones sold at SASA, just that they do not come with the packaging (boxes)]

Next time I will take pictures of the after effect of using pre-cut double eyelid tapes.
