Is carrot the new K-Beauty go-to ingredient? Forget about apples, a carrot a day keeps the dermatologist away! Fight breakouts and acne by regulating excess oil, and strengthening the skin barrier with organic carrots packed with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. A Korean skincare brand called, April Skin, has a carrot anti-breakout line that is perfect for the change of season! I tend to breakout when the weather transitions, so always come Fall, I have a few pop ups. In today’s post, I’m reviewing these products. Continue reading to learn more about these products along with where you can find them!
CARROT ACNE FOAM CLEANSER
The carrot acne foam cleanser has two hero ingredients: carrot seed oil and salicylic acid. Not to be confused with carrot carrrier oil, carrot seed oil is cold pressed from organic carrot seeds, and has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It helps calm inflammation and keeps the skin tone bright and even. The cleanser has a cream-like texture and foams up a lot. I’d recommend using a small pea-size amount when applying. Definitely gentle for both morning and night, with a deep-cleansing feeling that doesn’t dry up the skin. My face felt supple and hydrated after washing and have noticed after about ten days that my sebum oil build-up is much less. Retails at $20 for 120ml. Very affordable for its quality.
CARROT BLEMISH CREAM
The Carrot Blemish Cream is charged with natural carrot seed oil to supply rich antioxidants that protect the skin from photo damage and free radicals. While M-peptide speeds up the skin cell renewal cycle and strengthens the skin barrier to prevent future breakouts. The fragrance is not carrot-like at all, but more like medical cream, though the scent is subtle and not that bothersome. Like the cleanser, a dollop goes a long way. Definitely a great cream for those who tend to break out often.
CARROT BLEMISH SERUM
Powered by 100% natural carrot seed oil harvested from organic carrots, the Carrot Blemish Serum is a clinically tested non-comedogenic serum that harnesses the power of nature to banish blemishes and whiteheads from the face of…your face! This serum stops the acne cycle in its tracks and speeds up the skin cell renewal cycle instead, helping to heal your current agitated skin while also preventing future breakouts.
CARROTENE BLEMISH CLEAR VITA PAD
Infused with Vita 12 complex, these pads are infused with 12 types of vitamins - vitamin A, E, F, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, B12, C - that help to keep your skin healthy and skin barrier strong. I found the carrotene blemish clear vita pads great as toning pads - very useful for gentle exfoliating and for quick and easy toning. They’re also incredibly soothing for redness and irritation. Unfortunately they are sold out online, but I’m sure a restock will be up in no time!
