We all know that life can be a lil' stressful, and with stress comes breakouts-I've had my fair share of stressful moments and breakouts. However, not everyone has a budget for a weekly derma treatment so the next best thing would be a targeted skin care line that will address those pesky zits. Luckily for us, there are effective yet affordable options in the market today!

What I’m raving about lately is Belo Acne Pro by Belo Essentials-I’m on my second batch now and it still works for me! One special thing about this line is instead of using the classic acne- busting ingredients Salicylic Acid, Tea Tree Oil, and Crownwood Fern, it contains Bee Venom.

A brief info about Bee Venom: Apparently, Bee Venom has been found to be a potent anti- aging (induces collagen production), anti- acne, and anti- inflammatory ingredient. Sourced from Honey Bees, the venom itself is poisonous, but the compound called Melittin found in it is the one that delivers all the positive effects aforementioned. Kate Middleton, Kylie Minogue, and Victoria Beckham are reportedly fans of Bee Venom- infused products.

Belo AcnePro is a pretty straightforward line: It only has a facial wash, toner, and spot treatment-I wish it had a moisturizer though (gel moisturizer to be exact) to hydrate skin because it is no secret that hydration helps prevent breakouts.

Let’s look at the products one by one:

The facial wash has a fresh gel texture-it won’t leave any residue behind and has no silicone or wax ingredients that may aggravate breakouts—it’s low- foam too so it won’t dry out or irritate the skin. Scent is a very light, calming floral fragrance. How I wish it came in a much bigger tube though so I won’t have to drop by a drugstore every week just to get it.

Next up is the toner. Okay, Imma’ confess that this is currently my favorite drugstore toner because it doesn’t sting, mattifies skin sans the taut, itchy, and dry feeling, and has refreshing properties-I even noticed that it minimizes the appearance of enlarged pores after just a week of usage!
Finally, here’s the spot treatment. This gel- based pimple zapper has a light, spreadable texture and yields a tolerable stinging sensation. I also applied it on my face hives just to know if it can remedy beyond pimples and it worked, but please, don’t consider this product as a remedy to allergy- triggered hives!

Check out my skin two weeks after using Belo Essentials AcnePro:

Before: My battered face. Texture is rough due to hives and a huge red pimple dominates my left cheek

After: Mr. Pimple is now flat and on its way to healing, and skin texture got smoother.

I’ve had little success with repeat products, but Belo Essentials AcnePro is an exception: it is one of the few skin care lines that my skin has responded to very well and for sure, I am willing to get a third batch if ever I breakout again!

Belo Essentials AcnePro my friends, is da bomb-‘nuff said. If you have sensitive skin, please conduct a patch test first, but if your skin is pretty resistant and you have no known allergy issues, I will surely recommend this line!
