Use Squeaky Clean 2-3 times daily, before applying Off With Those Heads.
Active ingredients include:
Peppermint Oil
cleansing + oil control
This contains ingredients with great anti-inflammatory and skin-softening
properties. It also assists in skin cleansing, as well as aids the blackhead-
whitehead removal process.
Aloe Vera Extract
soothing + hydrating
Research has confirmed its anti-inflammatory properties and ability in promoting
wound-healing. It also helps moisturize and nourish the skin – leaving it smooth
and supple.
Micro beads
exfoliating
These are synthetic beads, which are homogenous in size and shape, which aid
exfoliation of the epidermal layers of the skin, without damaging skin tissue.
Verdict: I am seriously so in love with this product right now you won't believe it. It just makes your skin feel SOOOO clean! I was a bit iffy on the scent at first because it's that herbal kind of organic smell but it grew on me a lot and I seriously doubt that I can find another cleanser that does the same job as this. Granted that it doesn't take off your eye make-up, but I usually use baby wipes to wipe off all my make up and I'm not sure if this was a fluke but I was wearing the infamously long wearing Majolica Majorca mascara but it kind of took that off! I was a little amazed! All in all, this is such a great product and I will definitely purchase this once I run out, you don't even need a lot of it for it to do it's job.

open pores, reduce irritation and keep the skin in perfect condition.
Aloe Vera Extract

Research has confirmed its anti-inflammatory properties and ability in promoting

and supple.
Verdict: Again... Another love... It did say on the bottle not to worry if your skin where you have applied the product becomes a little bit more oilier than usual, that just means it's working and it's sucking the life out of your little blackheads! I have mentioned before that I don't REALLY have a bad problem with blackheads but what this product has done, is it has reduced my remaining blackheads! I am seriously going to buy my mom this product because she has a blackhead problem same with enlarged pores. She has even mentioned how nice my nose is looking right now! Amazing product, seriously, it has totally lived up to it's name. I'm not sure if I would purchase this once I have run out though, only through the fact that it is a little pricey. Again though, a little goes a long way!

Its anti-oxidant and barrier-repairing properties ensuring your complexion will stay forever large-pore free!
Use Shrink and Tighten daily for best results.
Active ingredients include:
Vitamin B3
exfoliating + acne control + barrier repairing
Also called niacinamide, vitamin B3 contributes to the support of the
skin's barrier against pollutants and other irritants such as acne, redness
associated with sensitive skin (rosacea), and other inflammatory effects. It has
also been shown to help the skin remain hydrateds.
Vitamin C

damage by preventing collagen and elastin depletion. It also stimulates collagen
and elastin synthesis to create firmer, healthier skin.
Oleanolic Acid
anti-inflammatory
This contains anti-inflammatory properties.
Verdict: I do like this product, I do, but I feel that I don't like this product as much as I like Off With Those Heads and the Squeaky Clean Cleanser. It has refined my pores as you will see if the photos at the very bottom of the post but my pores weren't too huge to begin with anyway. I don't think that I will purchase this product when I run out and I am actually thinking of giving my mom this product just because she would need it more than me and also she might see more of a difference than me.

skin.
Verdict: Again, I'm a little ehhhh about this product, just cause I don't think that I need it that desperately. It has a really nice yet odd at first sensation when you first put it on though! It actually warms the area up believe it or not! You feel this really comforting warming sensation when you apply this onto your face. Again, I don't think that I would purchase this product when I finish off the bottle and I might just give it to my mom only just because I didn't see that much of a dramatic difference. Don't get me wrong, I did see a little difference in the refinement of my pores but... for the price... I don't think I would purchase it.

Before photos:
(Like the hairbrained person that I am, I lost the photos that I took for the before photos so now I'm stuck trying to find photos where you can actually see what my nose is like in real life beforehand. I know you can't see much in these but you can see the build up that I have around my nose area, especially the crease where my nasal fold starts)
After photos:
(There has been no editing done to these photos, LOOK HOW SMOOTH MY NOSE IS! It's completely amazing to me!)
Overall: I would definitely rate B•liv by Cellnique a solid 4 or even 4 1/2 out of 5 stars. Their customer service seems impeccable and seriously, free shipping.. that is just the icing on the cake!
