Alibabka,
This is my routine:
AM:
- Cleanse
- Refining Silken Pearl Paste - spot treatment on acne
- PSF Cranberry gel - eyes
- Regular Silken Pearl Paste - all over face and neck (wait 5-10 mins)
- Emu oil (I put 1 drop into my palm, rub the palms together and press them on my face - so there is actually very little oil that gets to the skin, but that’s all I need)
- Silken Pearl Primer (powder)
- MMU
- Silken Pearl Mist
PM
- Cleanse
- Baby Quasar treatment
- CPs - all over the face and neck (these are the areas I treat with BQ) - wait 45 - 60 mins
- Regular Silken Pearl Paste
- Silken Pearl Primer
- Silken Pearl Mist
So, I use CPs and the pearl paste together. I know that pearl paste should be as close to the skin as possible, but I layer it over CPs at night and this seems to be working for me.
I may start reintroducing Vitamin C serum in the AM, but for now I am just going to leave things as they are, as this new routine is really working well for me at this point.
Hope this helps. |

OK guys, it's been over 4 weeks using Silken Pearl products for me, so I thought I'd give an update.
Well, this stuff is just amazing ! After completing a full month (and all the phases of my girly cycle ) I have to say - this stuff is pretty incredible. I can now safely conclude that the pearl paste, the silken powder and the mist have done so much more for my acne-prone skin than Tretinoin 0.05% (same as Retin A) and Clindoxyl Gel (topical antibiotic) combined.
I have not had a single cystic acne since I started using this line (this a huge one for me ), my skin looks clearer and more even. I even think that my pores look a bit smaller.
I am at the moment only using the Silken Pearl line and CPs (which I've been using for over a year), so I know the results are from the silk-pearl powder products.
I am being a bit more aggressive with CPs at the moment, so I do have some old damage (acne scars and discoloration) starting to show, but I'll continue with the pearl powder stuff, and I'm sure things will only get better.
BTW - after 4.5 weeks of using this morning and night, I still have approximately 1/5 - 1/4 of the pearl paste (1 oz) left, I have 2/3 of the mist (6 oz) left, and still have tonnes of powder left (you use tiny amounts of this, so powder will last me for months).
I am re-ordering pearl paste from Mary and my guess is that 1 oz will last me 5-6 weeks, using 2x day (or more often, if I'm at home).
This time I'm re-ordering the Regular pearl paste, but am also ordering the regular size of the Rich pearl paste (this one has oils). I'll try to use this one at night and see how that works.
I'll continue updating this tread with further results and findings.
Have a great weekend everyone!
