3 steps to perfect skin!

Advantages: You do get perfect skin
Disadvantages: Skin can dry out if used too much.

...-OVERVIEW- Clinique Liquid Facial Soap is step 1 in the clinique "3 step skin care system". It's availabe in formulas for all skin types; Very dry to dry, dry combination, oily combination, oily, mild, and now extra mild aswell. The formula being reviewed is the oily skin formula. The liquid soap cleanses and prepares the skin for steps 2 and 3, which are exfoliating/toning, and moisturising. As with all Clinique products, the facial soap too, is 100% fragrance free, and allergy tested. The allergy testing methods used by clinique are extensive and one of the companys' main selling points. Every formula is applied 12 times to 600 people under clinical guidlines, and if even one of those applications incites an allergic reaction, clinique reformulate the product. So this product is great for anyone with sensitive skins...

Review of Clinique Liquid Facial Soap Oily Skin

Is it a cream, is it a mousse? No it's skin protectant...

Advantages: Soothes very dry skin
Disadvantages: Can be greasy

...I have to say that I wrote this review just because this product kind of took me by surprise. This was given to me (a trial size) by a friend and I stupidly made the assumption it was a moisturiser. When I looked at the tube it said 'skin protectant' and no more. On further inspection on the back I realised that with a trial size, added to the fact that my friend didn't give me the box, confused me further. I unscrewed the cap from the white tube and squeezed. Not a lot happened so I squeezed again. Slowly a bronzed coloured substance came out that to be honest looked more like lip balm than cream. I then jumped on the internet and found that this product is meant to soothe, restore, calm and help relieve chapped, cracked or dry skin. Soothes roughness, redness and minor skin irritations. I realised that with one of the ingredients...

Dermalogica Skin Smoothing Cream - At last a product i Like

Advantages: A little goes a long way, has improved my skins appearance
Disadvantages: Probably a little pricey

...Finally, oh finally, after years of trying this and trying that, i have found a face moisturiser that i love. I was sent this product to trial for one month, to be used twice daily, morning and night. I received a "medium-weight cream that maintains skins moisture balance while improving its texture. Deep-moisturizing Lecithin and Aloe Gel nourish while extracts of Mallow, Cucumber and Arnica soothe and hydrate the skin, helping to restore suppleness and tone. Antioxidant Grape Seep Extract plus vitamins A,C and E help sheidl skin from environmental assaults. Contains no artificial fragrance or colour" You only need a small amount as a little goes a long way. On first opening and using i noticed it had a clinical smell. But to me it was not unpleasant and smelt quite expensive. I have very dry skin and this was perfect, not too...

Review of Dermalogica Skin Smoothing Cream

If your skins oily enough to fry chips in.....

Advantages: Sweeps away anything the cleanser missed
Disadvantages: Stings, and dries out the skin.

...Clinique Clarifying Lotion for oily skin is Step 2 of the "3 step skin care system" by clinique. Clarifying lotion for oily skin is in an opaque dusky pink bottle, with a pistachio green screw cap. It carries the distinct clinique logo in silver print. All clarifying lotions by clinique, are toning exfoliators, which lift away dead surface skin cells to make the complexion smoother. This is step 2, as step 1 gets rid of dirt, oil and debris from the skin, and step 2, the clarifying lotion gets rid of the more stubborn dead skin, and any junk which the cleanser couldn't get rid off. The oily skin formula has astringent properties, and it has a much stronger formula for getting rid of the extra oil on the skins surface. It's clear that the clarifying lotion does work, because when using a clear cotton pad, you can actually...

MD Formulations - My Saviour

Advantages: Cures acne and fades acne scars, lasts ages
Disadvantages: Can make skin more sensitive to the sun

...The Product MD Formulations Facial Cleansing Gel for Oily and Very Oily Skin Types is available to buy from beauty salons that use the brand, or from online beauty retailers such as lookfantastic.com, and it can usually be found on eBay. It's an American company, so it's much more easily accessible in the US than it is over here, as well as being far cheaper over there. The RRP for this product in the US is $32 for a 250ml bottle, but here in the UK you can expect to pay anywhere from £20 to £30 for the same size. Why I Bought It I've always had greasy, acne-prone skin, right from my early teens, and though for the last few years it hasn't been as bad, it still really bugs me that I can't just have nice clear skin like practically everyone else on the planet! Whilst I hadn't been getting as many spots as I used to...

Review - Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant

Advantages: versatile, value for money, lasts 8 hours, nicely designed tube & excellent cream!
Disadvantages: none

...This product is a must have!!It is definately worth the money. It comes in a little tube which can fit into your handbag so you can take it everywhere you go. It can be used for dry skin, eczema, chapped lips, and apparently even helps eyelashes grow. It is used by a lot of celebrities and I decided to try it out about a month ago. I can honestly say that I dont think I can live without it now. I even used it on on a blemish on my face that I had and it has started to fade out. It doesnt smell so great, but you can tell the cream is quality and hasnt got artificial fragrants added to it. You begin to notice the difference from the very first application. It is so versatile and actually lasts the full 8 hours or more. It is absorbed slowly which means once applied to lips as a gloss it lasts and there is no need for reapplication...

Dry Skin/Dry Lips - Sort them 18hr miracle cream!

Advantages: Is a multi functional product can be used for various things
Disadvantages: Smell may be off putting for some people

...There are some products which come onto the beauty scene and take the world by storm, some are a quick flash in the pan but others remain to be stable favourites of customers and beauty editors all over the world. This product falls into the latter category. Originally launched in around 1934 Elizabeth Arden?s 8 Hour Cream is one of the company?s most popular items, so popular that in 1989 it was re-launched onto the market. It is one of those products that regularly crops up in magazines in top ten product lists and on beauty pages as a highly recommended product. The cream which has been dubbed the eighth wonder of the world has a multitude of uses from lip balm to taming eyebrows, from burns to dry skin - this is one great little product. When you purchase this it usually comes in a white box, although some discount websites...

Review of Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream

Oil to stop my skin being oily!

Advantages: Helps with acne and oily skin, prevents shine
Disadvantages: Pricey

...A friend recommeded Dr Hauschka to me and initially I was put off by the price of the products. However, having suffered from acne for years, I purchased one of their trial kits and have been hooked ever since. The Normalizing Day Oil is in fact for people who suffer from acne or have oily skin. Now I realise that people with oily skin dont want to put oil on their face but, trust me you have to try this. I suffer badly from shiny skin and was always powdering my face but since using this product, I find even after a long day at work, my face isnt too shiny and my make up still seems to be in place. The day oil is applied to damp skin - after cleansing your face, then applying toner, the toner is left on your skin, with your skin still damp then you pat on the day oil. It does take a while to be absorbed so I wouldnt...

Review of Dr. Hauschka Normalizing Day Oil (For Oily or Impure Skin)

magic cream for spotty skin

Advantages: inexpensive, good for all skin conditions, hypoallergenic
Disadvantages: none

...WHAT IS E45? E45 Dermatological cream is an excellent product if you have dry skin, or eczema like I have. The cream itself is a non greasy emollient cream, which is light and unperfumed, which means that it can be used all over your body including your face. It is hypoallergenic,(which is the key thing, I think) perfume-free, colour-free, non-greasy and non-sticky and easily absorbed. It should be applied to the face and body, rubbed in gently and used daily as required. It contains several active ingredients including White soft paraffin BP 14.5% w/w, Light liquid paraffin ph Eur 12.6% w/w, Hypallergenic Lanolin 1.0% w/w. It says on the back of the tube that E45 products are suitable for dry skin, chapped skin, sunburn, itchy Skin , flaky skin, and detergent hands (good excuse not to wash up, I always say!) Also...

Review of E45 Problem Skin Cream

Great product for oily skin!

Advantages: Soothing, balancing, healing
Disadvantages: The price £21

...For the past 6 months or so I have had spots on and off on my neck and jawline. Not sure what the reason is - stress? It would become worse closer to the time of the month - hormones!! At Christmas someone gave me a bottle of Dr. Hauschka lavender bath oil (very luxurious and amazing). I was so impressed by this product, I decided to look into Dr. Hauschka and their other lines. This is how I came across the Normalizing Day oil (I also began to use the cleansing milk and cleansing cream). At first I was worried about putting oil on my skin. But after using it for about two months now? My skin has improved dramatically. This oil helps to heal and protect the skin, it balances the oil production and reduces pore size. Amazing! One thing that Dr.Hauschka says is that you should only use this normalizing oil during the daytime. This...
