This is not a beauty blog! I repeat THIS IS NOT A BEAUTY BLOG! However today I am going to talk about what a lot of beauty blogs talk about – skin care. I’ve struggled with my skin for most of my adult life. From full on breakouts to the dark scars left behind in their wake, it’s been a struggle to get the skin I can feel comfortable in. I’ve honestly tried nearly everything to promote a healthy complexion but what I have found is that while some routines work for a period of time they don’t seem to work for the long run. I constantly find myself starting and stopping a regimen because it’s either too expensive to continue or they don’t offer consistent results. That is until I was approached by Influenster to review their Clear Proof VoxBox.
As a blogger there are times when we are given products to review for our blogs in hopes of sharing our opinions, well this was one of those times. I usually try to keep any products consistent with the theme of this blog(party planning, inspiration, home decor etc.) But I realized when approached by Influenster that after years of struggling with my own skin care issues this would be the perfect subject to tackle with my readers. Besides, at the end of the day this blog is all about providing you with the tools that can help you live your best life and I for one certainly feel my best when I look my best.
So back to Clear Proof. I got the package and was instructed to use the product for a full 4 weeks and apply it 1-3 times a day. If dryness were to occur we were told to scale back. I began by applying the 4-step process twice a day. In my package came :
(1) Clarifying Cleansing Gel
(2) Blemish Control Toner
(3) Acne Treatment Gel
(4) Oil-Free Moisturizer for Acne-Prone Skin
I started by cleansing with the Clarifying Gel, then applying the Blemish Control Toner followed by the Acne Treatment Gel and finishing up with the Oil-Free Moisturizer. It seemed like a long process initially but actually ended up going pretty quickly and I started to notice that after each use I felt like my skin had been revitalized.
I have a combination of both dry and oily skin in my t-zone and It’s been my experience that with most acne treatment gels your skin can begin to peel and flake after continued use. However after using the Clear Proof Acne Gel and following it up with the moisturizer my skin did not flake and was not the slightest bit oily. I was even able to apply my makeup primer without feeling like I had a ton of product on my face.
Here is a shot of my skin from both angles before using Clear Proof. You’ll notice that I have quite a bit of dark marks on my cheeks (click on the picture to enlarge).
Here is a shot of my skin after 4 weeks of using Clear Proof! The spots have all but faded!!!
You can get Clear Proof via Mary Kay, I would recommend it to anyone having struggling with acne and dark or red marks.
So guys, do you have any beauty regimens that you swear by? Do you think Clear Proof is something you may want to try? Let me know in the comments below!
Oh my goodness! The difference after four weeks is pretty amazing! I don’t have too many issues with my complexion, but Cid does. This might be something that’d help him out!
You should totally try! The way my skin feels and looks is a total turn around!
That’s drastic improvement! So glad you got that kind of benefit from it!
Right!! I have used many products and while some worked it took a long time to get the results I wanted. This was perfect!
Thanks for all the info.. for not being a beauty blog you definitely showed us the value of this product!
HA! Thank you, I like to stay consistent with my topics but I couldn’t pass this one up because of my skin issues. I’m by no means an expert but I know what works for me and I always like to share!

Great product review! I’ve been looking into this and your blog post has given me some extra insight!
I like how you incorporated this into your blog. I receive a lot of samples for stuff that doesn’t really go with my blog genre and always hesitate to review the items for that reason. I like this and how cool that the product worked for you.
Thank you! I was skeptical about how it would work with my blog but I went for it because it’s been a personal struggle for me throughout my adult life. You should totally do a review here and then it may bring quite a bit of value to your blog as well.
Congrats on your new beauty blog. 😉
I kid. Seriously though, in my experience, Mary Kay products are really worth the money.
HAHA! I know right I’m a total beauty expert now. I wasn’t too much of an avid Mary Kay person before this but I will def continue to buy this product.
You had a clearer and more radiant face after four weeks. The product is really effective.
It really is! I think it’s the constant use and being consistent with it.
Wow! The results look amazing. I’ll have to look into this a little bit more! Thanks for sharing
You totally should! I love my new skin!
Oh wow, your skin looks so polished after using this product. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! I love my new complexion and the fact that I can go without makeup!
That’s awesome that it worked so well for you! I’m always looking for a good product to use.
Thank you! I hope you like it just as much !
I am right there with you with complexion issues. I want to try this.
You really should, just stay consistent with it 🙂 Let me know how it goes!
I’m going to have to try this. It seems to work well!
It was great and I’ve tried a lot of different products and medications to know.
Now that is science. I will take your word for it.
HA! My word is my bond 😉
The result is amazing. Hope it’s okay to all skin types.
It’s supposed to be but as with everything I would check with my Dr. first, especially if you’ve had problems with other products before.
I’ve never had acne so I’ve been very lucky in that sense. I’m so glad that these products are working to improve your skin Winter x
Thank you!
I so need this acne gel, as I have gotten older my skin is like that of a teenager! Sounds like a great product line.
I was the same way! I went through my childhood only having to use Noxema but as soon as I got in my mid 20s my skin took a dive. I’m really happy I’ve found a product that works!
Your skin looks great! I was also able to try out this VoxBox from Influenster and I had great results as well. Thanks for sharing!
I’m so happy to hear it wasn’t only me! I love how soft my skin feels after moisturizing it!
WOW! What a difference it made in about a month! Sounds like an awesome product! I’m really happy for you!
Thank you! I was really skeptical at first so even after I was being told to hurry up and create the blog post I really wanted to wait to see the results and I’m so happy I did 🙂
Looks like great products for your skin. My daughter had complexion issues in junior high, I don’t recall what we used for it though.
I used to use Noxema like it was going out of style in junior high, it’s funny when I was younger I could use whatever I wanted for my skin but it’s when I got older the acne started.
Your skin looks amazing. I will have to try this product line out for myself.
What an improvement. Your skin looks great!
What great results, seems like a good product.
Wow! Looks like it works perfectly! Will put it on my to-buy list! 🙂
Oh my goodness I have never heard of clear proof vox box. I think I know several who I could get this for this holiday season. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! That is awesome, my sister could really use Clear proof. Thanks for the recommendation
Bookmarking for later! Thanks!
Glad this worked for you! I have always had great skin (I know..I know). I pray it continues! 🙂
Mary Kay has amazing products, I’m glad these worked for you and I’ll have to try them out.
It’s so nice to finally find a product that works!
