Nearly 85 percent of all people have acne at some point in their lives and it is the most common skin disorder in the United States, affecting over 40 million Americans, according to the American Academy of Dermatology. During the warmer summer months, I tend to get zits because my skin gets so oily! I need to use products that keep my breakouts under control.
Below is a list of effective acne-fighters with innovative ingredients that reduce oil production, unclog pores and kill acne causing bacteria in order to banish breakouts.
Miracle Skin Transformer Acne Control
A skin-perfecting tinted skin enhancer that creates a flawless finish as it moisturizes and treats acne prone skin, while fighting future breakouts. Long wear, natural coverage conceals imperfections instantly, helping to diminish the appearance of blemishes, pores, acne scars, and uneven skin tone for a smooth, matte, flawless finish.

BIONOVA Cleansers
These gentle cream-based cleansers are made formulated with distinctive hyper-natural ingredients called nano-complexes that imitate the same ingredients that the skin is composed of, working to balance skin back to normal for a brighter, healthier looking complexion. Nano-complexes target skin issues whether it’s acne, dryness, or excessive oil and work to effectively remove dead skin cells, reduce the side effects of free radicals and gently remove impurities without stripping the skin’s natural barrier system. With three options to choose from – the Antibacterial Cleanser for Acne, Cleanser for Normal/Dry Skin and Cleanser for Oily Skin – there’s a solution for every skin type.

My thoughts: All of these products are amazing, but I must share with you that I am in love with my Miracle Skin Transformer Acne Control! I am using the medium shade. It is lightweight and perfect for summer.
I have used Miracle Skin Transformer formulations before and loved them for how they made my face looked airbrushed, but my skin just got too oily. With Miracle Skin Transformer Acne Control, my face looks absolutely flawless all day long, plus looks completely matte and gorgeous all day long too! I use it in place of my regular foundation during these warm summer months. It doesn’t sweat off. It is amazing!
