Blemish Free Skin Sisley Tropical Resin Complex

tropicalresin.jpgWhen I was in college at USC my favorite thing to do in the afternoons after classes was to hang out at Beverly Hills Neiman Marcus cosmetic counters.  I'm serious!  I made friends with the SAs at Chanel, Sisley, and La Prarie counters  so I'd be first to know about new products, sample products, etc. I was hanging around playing with make up one day and noticed a huge blemish on my forehead-- when I showed it to the SA, she handed me a sample of the Tropical Resin Complex from Sisley and told me to apply it to the blemish a few times a day and at night before bed. I told her I didn't think that would work and she said just to try it. I must admit that I am an extremist, if you tell me applying something a few times a day will work, I will apply it 10 times, just in case. So throughout that day I dabbed the complex on my giant pimple and at night I put a dollop on. The next morning, the pimple was gone and my forehead was smooth as silk. I was so shocked! I kept that little sample and used it periodically as I got blemishes. I forgot about it until I was at the Sisley counter the other day-- I couldn't believe it was still being sold! I haven't used it in almost 15 years but I asked for a sample again and when a pimple showed up yesterday-- I dabbed away and guess what. It still works. Since I don't have oily skin, I don't need to buy the entire bottle. If you do, however, and have outbreaks often-- you should really try this! $155 at Neiman Marcus.

  • I love this and the mask too! have you tried the mask? I had a problem with enlarged pores and it has changed my skin texture

  • Hey Tina,

    This sounds great. Does it help with the scarring that comes along with the blemishes? If not, do you know of any product that would help? Thanks!

    • Hi Bonnie

      Unfortunately it does not help much with scarring... the only thing I've found to help is to get regular microdermabrasion treatments!

      There is also a product called Cordran tape that my doctor prescribed to me after my C-section-- I get keloid scars easily but you can't even tell I've had a C-section! I swear by this tap and it's by prescription only...
      good luck!
