When work deadlines and sleep loss collide, like they did for me last week, I expect to get a few zits on my face (sigh). My newest little sebaceous gift included a painful pimple best beside my left nostril. like many women, I typically dread pimples, but this zit (I named her Eva) gave me the ideal excuse to try out clean and Clear’s unnoticeable Acne Patch.

The product includes salicylic acid (2%) and creates a defensive barrier for pimples (like a transparent Band-Aid). It’s also makeup friendly, developed to be able to apply concealer and foundation on top of it.

Check out the handy-dandy, travel-friendly applicator pen, which I found fun to use. Twisting the bottom (it makes clicking sounds) deploys the product. It oozes out of the applicator tip.

Application is a cinch … like painting pimples. I coated Eva with a thin layer of clear goo which took about two minutes to dry. As it dried, I could could feel the skin around the area tightening somewhat. once dry, the surface has an practically invisible, smooth, rubbery texture.

The product includes a smoothing ingredient clean and clear calls Chitosan PCA, a film-forming polymer that pulls up low points and pushes down high points on the skin.

I had a lot of fun testing this product. Over the weekend I tried it out with a few different concealers and found that MAC select Moisturecover (a liquid, not a cream concealer) looked much more natural and smooth on top of the unnoticeable patch than other concealers did.

It took a bit of trial and error with clean and Clear’s unnoticeable Acne patch to identify the ideal quantity to use. It was easy to over-apply, which left me with thick, flaky, visible layers that peeled best off (eww!).

(Sidenote: At one point in my testing, I was two seconds away from taking a close-up photo of Eva in all of her unnoticeable Acne patch glory when I realized that ya’ll don’t need to see my zits.)

This stuff works well for an over-the-counter acne treatment. I started using it on Friday, and by Sunday Eva looked smaller, wasn’t as red, nor was she as painful to the touch. She ought to be gone by the end of the week, hooray!

I realize that this product will not make pimples disappear into thin air. It’s a pimple treatment, not a Christmas miracle. The smoothing action seems to work best on zits that aren’t scabby and haven’t been picked or popped. Also, if you are allergic to seafood, you best look elsewhere. The documentation states that the product ought to not be used by people with seafood allergies.

Find clean and Clear’s unnoticeable Acne patch online or at your favorite drugstore.

After work yesterday I went for a short run around the neighborhood, got back home, plopped on the floor and made a half-assed attempt to do some sit-ups (blech!). half way through my third set I started wishing for a way to outsource core exercises. That’s how much I hate sit-ups.

Do you hate stomach exercises as much as I do? If you have any core workout suggestions for me, please let me know. I’m on a mission this summer to become very CORE KAREN, but at the rate I’m going, it’s not looking good.

Ey! and if you haven’t picked it up yet, then please get your hands on Stephanie Meyer’s new novel, The Host. I finished it at 1 o’clock this morning and blubbered for a half an hour at the end. It’s my favorite book of the past few months. I’m off to the bookstore after work to get something else to read. got any suggestions?

I hope your morning got off to a good start today. ready for a coffee break yet?
