Perricone MD Blue Plasma is
a product which has been raved about for a while,
I've wanted to try this for
ages, and it found it's way mysteriously onto my skincare shelf over Christmas
after much deliberation and whilst my skin was so bad, I didn't want to try it,
because I felt like it wouldn't be a true representation of the product, So I
waited. I waited until I'd been on the Doxycycline for a bit and the skin had
started to show signs of improvement.
Designed to slough away dead
skin cells, unclogging pores and purifying the skin, whilst rehydrating and
rebalancing the skin, I thought this was exactly what was needed, and whilst I
had my Doxy, if it was going to flare up the Rosacea, I would be able to do
some damage control.
This is the first Perricone
MD product I've tried, and loved. Whilst serums can be hit and miss for me, I
find some can be too rich and I can have little break outs this sat well with
my skin.
On first application, I
found it quite runny, almost of an oil like texture, and it smelt a bit as I
initially massaged it into my skin, but that smell faded as it settled into the
skin and it dried fairly quickly, which was appreciated as I'm not the most
patient person when it comes to waiting for my skincare to dry.
The morning after first
application, I was pleased to see that I wasn't bright red and actually, my
skin (where it wasn't slightly pink anyway) was actually, rather glowing and I
was quite impressed.
I have for the past 4 weeks,
used either this, or Clarins double serum, mostly this.
Whilst it does claim to be a
"Daily Peel" I didn't find it harsh, or irritating, as it is
non-acidic, I actually found that over the past 4 weeks I haven't had the need
to exfoliate. I do get the need, to just scrub my skin every now and then.
Which I am fully aware causes more problems, but I feel better afterwards. My
skin has been brighter, despite having got the flu during this time, I didn't
find this effected skin at all, actually all the usual breakouts have been kept
pretty much under control.
I wouldn't recommend this
for daily use, for anyone with Rosacea, and use sparingly when using. I would
recommend once or twice a week in place of your usual serum or night cream and
consult your dermatologist if you're using any medicated creams. I used this
alone, and not with any Metronidazole. Whilst I assume it would be fine, I
wanted to see the effects of the product alone, rather that in combination with
a medicated cream.
