Olay Foaming Face Wash, Sensitive Skin, 6.78-Ounce Pump (Pack of 4) Best Quality


I think I have tried a hundred different facial soaps/washes/cleansers over my lifetime, but this one is my favorite. It honestly removes ALL makeup residue, leaves a very clean, smooth & soft feel to your skin, and does not overly dry. It is a perfect cleanser!Get more detail about Olay Foaming Face Wash, Sensitive Skin, 6.78-Ounce Pump (Pack of 4).

Zeno Replacement Tip Cartridge, 60 Treatment Applications Get it now!


I wish the Zeno had been invented years ago, it would've spared me suffering from acne and acne scarring (physical AND mental). This product stops the problem dead in its tracks, before it can get any larger or painful. The company doesn't recommend it for cystic acne, but I've found it to be effective in halting cysts from progressing any further if caught soon enough (and you know when one is forming).
The 90 refill cartridge is the way to go, it can last a year (or more), depending on the severity of your acne. It's worth every penny.Get more detail about Zeno Replacement Tip Cartridge, 60 Treatment Applications.

Clinique All About Eyes Reduces Puffs and Circles .21oz / 7ml - Unboxed Original Formula Buy Now


This product works, but don't expect a miracle. I have tried using this early in the morning, right when I wake up, and I do feel that it reduces puffiness, but don't think for a minute that this is going to remove your need for a good concealer.

Your dark circles won't disappear and you will still have to put on concealer. This acts like a tightening "gel", and it's really safe to use under your eyes. I used it without any irritation for over a week. I felt that it helped the puffiness, but it didn't do much for under-eye darkness (circles).

Conclusion: Worth a try if you have puffy eyes

Olay Definity Correcting Protective Lotion with spf 15 with UV Protection, 1.7oz Order Now


After cleansing with a Clarisonic, I use this moisturizer every morning. The combination has started to eliminate some of my age spots. The spots are not gone, but my skin complexion is evening out and I'm not breaking out. I also like the fact that it has SPF15 (not enough for constant sun exposure, but good for everyday use).Get more detail about Olay Definity Correcting Protective Lotion with spf 15 with UV Protection, 1.7oz.

Olay Total Effects Moisturizing Vitamin Complex - 1.7 fl oz Right now


I recently purchased Olay Total Effects Tinted Moisturizer after standing in the isle at our local Walmart for forever reading the labels of numerous other products. I had read in a magazine that they recommended Oil of Olay products for their ability to make your skin look and feel better and the cost. As soon as I got in the car, I put this moisturizing lotion on my face. I couldn't believe the difference. It immediately made my skin look more vibrant, glowing and dewey. I was afraid that it would make my skin oily and since I am prone to break outs, I was worried that this would make my break outs worse. I have been using this for four days and have had less skin irritation than normal with no sign of a break out at all. I am so happy with the results that I am looking to purchase more Oil of Olay products. My skin feels so soft and and does not feel oily at all. I was at a meeting the other day and someone commented that my hair looked really nice. I don't think it was my hair, it was the glow of my skin. Thanks Oil of Olay!Get more detail about Olay Total Effects Moisturizing Vitamin Complex - 1.7 fl oz.

Lowest Price Skinmedica Age Defense Retinol Complex, 1-Ounce Pump Bottle


I went to a local dermatologist's office for a quarterly bash she throws, and the dermatologist spoke highly of the SkinMedica line. I spoke to a representative who recommended the Retinol Complex and the TNS Recovery Complex. The representative put the products on one of my hands to demonstrate, and immediately I noticed a difference.

I've been using the Retinol Complex every morning before I put on my make-up and my skin tone looks healthier. Typically, my skin is combination, so I use a moisturizer one a week to keep it from drying out. Love the product!Get more detail about Skinmedica Age Defense Retinol Complex, 1-Ounce Pump Bottle.

Low Price Olay Definity Color Recapture, Light/Medium, 1.7-Ounce Box


Olay Definity Color Recapture is an AWESOME product!!! I use it as a foundation, and it provides just the right amount of coverage, not too heavy. Doesn't feel greasy, and hasn't made me break out... and I have super sensitive skin that always breaks out. Saves time because there is the coverage and sun screen in one product! My skin has also been super soft since using this product... just an added benefit I suppose! It seems a little pricy, but you only need one (MAYBE one and a half) pumps of the product at a time, so it will last a while.

Cheapest BHA+ Gel Peel, 30ml (Professional)


I'm 40-something and have had issues with hormonal acne over the years. I even had a course of Accutane in my 30s. Unfortunately, the effects were temporary, and my skin has returned to being oily and acne prone. I have scattered cystic acne and purchased this hoping it would help reduce or eliminate the problem.

Being a chronically bad patient who does her own thing rather than following directions, I exfoliated with a Buff-Puff type face sponge less than 24 hours before using the peel. Not having the piece of gauze recommended for application, I used a cosmetic wedge sponge to apply the peel. I did apply the product in the order recommended, leaving nose area for last.

Oh boy the burn. I'm no delicate person who breaks out in a rash from using soap or anything, so I was surprised that this gel is strong stuff. I maybe lasted a minute before having to rinse with cool water. It keeps burning while you're rinsing and for a while afterward. My skin is immediately less oily. It feels a bit hot for a while. Even with oily skin you will probably want to use an oil-free moisturizer as recommended.

A couple days later, there was some peeling in the smile lines near my nose. It probably would have been worse if I hadn't applied it last to this area.

And being the bad patient I didn't wait the recommended two weeks before applying again.

A few sessions later, my skin was noticeably clearer. I had a visit with my dermatologist and brought the bottle with me. When I showed it to her, she said it's similar to what they use in the office, just much gentler. She said it's a good thing to continue to use, but that I might require an oral antibiotic to knock the cystic acne out (since cystic acne starts deep in the skin and is often unreachable and unaffected by topical solutions). She also advised me, due to the redness and peeling near my nose, to reduce usage to every two weeks as the product recommends (more is not always better).

In subsequent applications, I have noted that the burning is not as severe and doesn't last as long. Just be prepared near a faucet and a clean towel. Also, be very careful not to get this in your eyes. With the way it burns on the skin, I would think it would be extremely painful if accidentally splashed in an eye.

I'll keep using this product. A little goes a long way, so you'll have many applications before you can use up this bottle. It's economical and effective at reducing my more superficial breakouts and oiliness. Just realize you might need something in addition to this if you're having issues with cystic acne.

Cheap MyChelle Fruit Enzyme Mist, 4.4-Ounce Bottle


I love this company. They obviously take skin care very seriously and make fine products. I like that they are not a huge cosmetic company with all the bells and whistles. Just a company created out of concern and determination to make a quality all natural product.Get more detail about MyChelle Fruit Enzyme Mist, 4.4-Ounce Bottle.

Buying Alpha Hydrox AHA Enhanced Creme, Anti-Wrinkle Exfoliant - 2 oz


I have used Alpha Hydrox AHA Cream for many years and I'm really not even that old. I first got my hands on my mom's when I was about 10 and managed to burn the h*** out of my eyes. :) But shortly after that I would occasionally use it and after just a single use the results were visible: clear, smooth, porcelain skin. It helped clear all my acne scars and is keeping wrinkles at bay. I usually use this product for about a month at a time and then I begin to use it again when my skin appears to need it. If you are someone who will not go out without makeup, this can really help you feel more comfortable in your own skin. A thin layer of this and a little under eye concealer could be all you need and what a great feeling that is.

I used to use a store brand AHA cream but this product is worth the few dollars extra. The store brand I tried just didn't absorb as well as this product which is very important so that it does not get into your eyes while you sleep.

Please be advised to apply this lightly, especially if you are going to be leaving the house! If you apply a layer which is too thick to be absorbed, your skin will temporarily (for about 30 minutes or so) turn tomato red! The redness doesn't take terribly long to go away but just be forewarned.

Also, if you have sensitive skin, this cream may sting when you initially apply it but it should subside shortly after it is absorbed. Just remember, no pain, no gain. ;)Get more detail about Alpha Hydrox AHA Enhanced Creme, Anti-Wrinkle Exfoliant - 2 oz.

Buy Acne.org 8 oz. Treatment


I have been using this for about a month. Actually, I use it along with the proactiv cleanser because I happen to have a lot of that cleanser. I like this more than the proactiv repairing lotion. My skin is pretty hardy (I have been using pretty harsh products for about 10 years), and the acne.org treatment does not make my face red or dry (I do not use lotion with it, though I have it...maybe I will start...) Since I have been using this I haven't gotten a single new pimple (knock on wood).Get more detail about Acne.org 8 oz. Treatment.
