Ladies..which skin care line is working for you?

I love skin care! And with so many out there it is hard to figure out which one to invest time and money on..Please let me know which skin care line you love and is working for you!


(btw I am 33 y.o. fair combo/dry skin)


Thanks!

I don't use a particular line, I pick and choose the products that work best!





I have super-oily skin and unfortunately NOTHING has been able to fix that. However, CO Bigelow's Extra Light Face Lotion works fairly well because it contains white clay which absorbs the oil, but is also a moisturizer to prevent my skin from drying out. (If you use products that are too drying, your skin overcompensates and produces MORE oil!). It only keeps my face matte for a few hours, but without it I'm shiny in an hour or less!





I also used to get a lot of clogged pores caused by my oily skin (but not true acne, according to my dermatologist). Several prescriptions worked well for me in the past, but now I've been using OTC products with equal success. The product that really made the most difference for me was Neutrogenia's On The Spot treatment -- it has 2.5% benzoyl peroxide, which is just as effective as the 10% solutions but is much less drying and irritating! I use it every night as a preventative measure, rather than a spot-treatment, and it works just as well as the prescriptions!





I also use Cetaphil cleanser for Normal/Oily skin and it seems to work well enough. Honestly, changing cleansers has never made a noticeable difference in my skin; only things like acne treatments or moisturizers seem to make a difference. So anything that washes the makeup off is fine for me....





For an eye cream I use an Olay product, I forget the exact product name. I only have very minimal fine lines (I am 26) so I haven't noticed much of a difference yet; I'm mainly using it as a preventative measure. I tried a L'Oreal cream once but it burned my eyes, yuck!

The products are elegant, effective, modern, well priced.
Reply:The Papaya Line from Bee-Luscious!!! It's all natural papaya enzymes will balance skin and gently dissolve oils and dead skin. I LOVE this skincare line. It leaves your face super soft and smooth.
Reply:Neutrogena! It is the best!
Reply:I personally love Cliniques 3-step skincare products. They are very gentle to the skin and it provides solutions for all different types of skin.


Try it out!
Reply:I used noxema for about 6 years (my grandma always said it was the best), but just a few weeks ago I switched to Clinique's 3 step. I'm 22 w/combo skin, although Clinique tries to tell me I have dry skin. Their cleanser's do make my face feel refreshed though.. and I kind of glow after using it.
Reply:I've been using Clinique 3-Step System in Dry Combination skin type for about 6 weeks and this stuff actually works. The moisturizer doesn't feel greasy, the cleanser is very gentle for dry and oily skin, and it contains good ingredients.
Reply:I love the Avon Anew Proactive+ line. It would be perfect for you because it is made for people between 25 and 35 years of age. It keeps my skin soft and healthy and I have combo skin as well.
Reply:I love the Papaya Cleansers and Scrubs from Bee-Luscious. These are all natural cleansers and are very gentle on my skin. I really do LOVE these products!
Reply:Proactive!!! It's the best!


They need to lower the price though lol
