When I first got these little samples they were very cute, but very little which I don't understand why they didn't just give me the full-set of stuff & working with only a little bit of product is hard, so I am not old I am only 26. I gave the Anti-aging facial mask to my mom to try out if she wanted to & the zinc repairing cream as well as the anti-wrinkle eye cream & toner's. My main concern was the Anti-Acne Facial Mask & the Cocoa butter foot cream which smells so good & leaves me feet smell so wonderful the Anti-Acne is still a process for me I don't really see any difference, but who knows I am still using the product.
Directions of the Anti-Acne Facial Mask:
I was glad this came in a little bit bigger as for the other mini products I got.

WHAT IS ACNE?
What is acne and what causes it? Simply put, when tiny holes on the surface of the skin called pores become clogged, acne occurs. Each pore is an opening to a canal called a follicle, which contains a hair and an oil gland. Normally, the oil glands help keep the skin lubricated and help remove old skin cells. When glands produce too much oil, the pores can become blocked, accumulating dirt, debris, and bacteria. The blockage is called a plug or a comedone. The surface of the plug may be white (whitehead) or dark (blackhead). If it ruptures, the material inside, including oil and bacteria, can spread to the surrounding skin and cause an inflammatory reaction. If the inflammation is deep, the pimples may enlarge to form firm, painful cysts.
Acne commonly appears on the face but may also occur on the shoulders, trunk, arms, legs, and buttocks. Acne is most common in teenagers. In fact, three out of four teenagers have acne to some extent. This is probably caused by hormonal changes that stimulate oil production. However, acne can occur at any age, even in infants.
Acne tends to run in families and can be triggered by:
- Hormonal changes (related to menstrual periods)
- Pregnancy
- Birth control pills
- Stress
- Greasy or oily cosmetic and hair products
- Certain medications (such as steroids)
- Overactive oil glands
- Blockage of the skin pores
- Activity of normal skin bacteria
- Inflammation
- Normal Follicles
