Anti-spots comparison: Fitocose vs. Anatomicals





If you have an acne prone skin as I do, you get a ton of pimples straight after eating something unhealthy or your skin simply hates you, you’ve probably tried a lot of “fast remedies” against pimples, that are supposed to dry them out and make them disappear as fast as possible.
I’ve always been ashamed of my imperfections and tried to find a solution for them in a lot of different products, since I understood that none of them could do what it promises on the label (I have loads of friend on whom this kind of products works perfectly, but they don’t have acne prone skin, they just get a pimple from time to time) but some of them can really help solving the problem on the long run.

 

Brufocrema by Fitocose     www.fitocose.it
This cream has been recommended to me for a really long time, but I couldn’t buy it till last winter and it’s already on my list of stuff to stock up on. It’s a rich formula with a pungent smell that disappears as soon as you put it on your face. Applied religiously since you feel a pimple coming to it's complete disappearing it’s wondrous: the pimple won’t disappear in a few hours (only black magic can make it) but it will significantly speed up its elapsed, circumscribing it at the same time. So if it looks like the pimple is going to conquer your whole chin it’s going to end up remaining a small, easy to cover up imperfection.
Even if I love this product to death I must say it is flawed under two perspectives in particular: it is not possible to apply any product on the top of the cream and, for me at least, this makes it unusable during the day. More important is the expiration date of four months, too short to use the whole cream since you need the tiniest amount every time.
In a nutshell:
Pro: speeds up the elapsed of the pimple, circumscribe it, has a completely green list of ingredients.
Cons: you can’t use it under make up or other creams, 30ml are a lot of product to use within four months.
Vote: 4/5

Vs.

Zap! Zap! Zap! get’s that chap – day and night spot stick by Anatomicals     www.amazon.co.uk
I must admit that the packaging had a crucial role in this purchase: I LOVE names and descriptions of Anatomicals products! If you mix this with the fact that they are really cheap you’ll understand why I always get tempted by their line, even if my opinion in the end it’s not always positive.
On the hunt for the thousandth product against pimples I wanted to try this one: I began with using it as the instructions suggested, went on mixing the two parts together and ending up using it during daytime as a substitute of the Brufocrema (which I used up on the night time).
I know people on whom this thing worked used as the instructions tells but on me it did nothing. I think it helped a little used as support of the Brufocrema, accelerating by a couple of days the disappearance of the imperfection (that’s why I’ll probably repurchase this), but anyway has been quite disappointing.
In a nutshell:
Pro: works as a support of other products.
Cons: it doesn’t work on its own if you’re acne prone.
Vote: 2/5
