favourite skincare brand?

[PnkCosmo]

I'm totally in love with Korres & Caudalie skincare!! Just about everything from either line is great. It really depends on what your skin type is, as to what kind of products you'll need.

I have classic combination skin that is prone to getting clogged pores.

These are the products that I'm using right now:

Korres

Evening Primrose Eye Cream: Helps w/fine lines & wrinkles. It also has an spf 6.

Sugar Crystal Cream Multivitamin Skin Shield: I put this on before my moisturizer.

Wild Rose 24-Hour Moisturizer SPF 6: Great for my combo skin! Keeps my skin hydrated for 24hrs w/o feeling greasy.

Milk Protiens 3 in 1 Cleansing Emulsion: It's a 3-in-1 cleansing, toning, and eye make-up removing emulsion. Love it!!

To exfoliate, I'm using:

CITY Face Skin Refinisher- OMG!! I love this stuff!!! I'm making a new thread about it.

When I get a blemish, I use DDF's 5% Benzoyl Peroxide Gel with Tea Tree Oil. The combination of BP & Tea tree kill the bacteria in blemishes.

At night, I'll layer DDF's Sulfur Therapeutic Mask over the BP gel. The sulfur mask helps to shrink any existing blemishes. I also use the Sulfur mask about 1-2x per week to keep blemishes at bay. I put a thin layer of it on after I get out of the shower, so my pores are open, and the mask can penetrate better.

Anyway, this is what has been keeping my skin happy!! I've also used a lot of Caudalie's skincare. Anything from that line is also great!

Being someone who was kicked out when I turned 18, and goes to school full time, I dont have a lot of extra money to spend, so I try to find what works and wont break the budget...My favorite cleansing regiment is called AcneFree. Its one of those 3-step things, similar to the ProactivSolution that they advertise on TV (but a lot cheaper!). Uses benzoyl peroxide instead of salicyc(sp?) acid. I have terrible acne and this stuff cleared me up in a week and I havent broken out since I've started using it.

I have slightly sensitive skin, which is usually normal to dry though it once used to be combination. It does get back to its combo roots in hotter weather.

A few products I have tried and adore:

Dermalogica special cleansing gel (not for everyday though), and daily microfoliant (one-three times a week). Still looking for a gentler everyday cleanser. I do also use Philosophy Purity which is not as strong as Dermalogica though I don't find it cleans well enough.

Lush Angels On Bare Skin is a great cleanser and exfoliant for non-makeup days, I buy a tub every so often to give my skin some gentle treatment. For which it seems glad!

The cleanser I use for everyday because they gave me so many sample sachets is Aesop's purifying cream cleanser, which I would repurchase except that the scent really makes me want to gag.

Night moisturiser - Aesop primrose cream, and I loved Korres' Sugar crystal cream. Paula's Choice completely emollient moisturiser is also fab. I se the Aesop one at the moment because I find it very healing for my skin.

Lush Cupcake mask when skin looking dull and feeling like it needs declogging. At present using ModelCo's heat caps mask - a 1 min mask!
I do occasionally use Paula's Choice 8% AHA for blackheads and scars but it does its work in a harsh manner - found it does induce pimples...

I don't recommend Kiehl's at all, but this is because I have been violently allergic to all the samples of their skin products I've tried. Poo. Neutrogena I have also found way too harsh for my skin.

Also, I get very occasional pimples and whiteheads. Less so in the last year.

I just purchased online after doing a consultation online this:
Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel
Dermalogica Multi-Active Toner
Dermalogica Active Moist (Moisturiser)

now hopefully these would stay and be good

 

[banana]

I don't use products from one particular line because I have yet to find one that meets all my skincare needs and is affordable. This is what I use:

spectro-gel cleanser
olay complete for combo/oily skin (day)
cetaphil lotion (night)
aveeno clear complexion mask

I exfoliate in the shower with a clean washcloth.

I only use Lush products on my skin (I work for them...) and it has never looked better (and that isn't a sales pitch

).

I use Ultrabland to remove my make-up as it is super gentle but removes everything (even waterproof mascara), Ocean Salt facial scrub, Mask of magnaminty for when I'm feeling in need, Tea tree toner for my oily t-zone, Gorgeous moisturiser (not availible anywhere but the UK so far) and Skin's Shangri La moisturiser for night time.

I loce how I can read through the list of ingredients and know what they all are, most of them I can go and buy from Sainsbury's

 

[clairewear]

I used Chanel Age Delay moistureizer & eye; my skin just glowed.

I recently tried Sonya Dakar and like the results. They have a trial size you can buy (very generous portions of each product, which should last awhile, if you use sparingly, as recommended) for around $30 for the kit.

 

[Bianca]

My favourite brand is Biotherm!

 

[mrskloo]

I've been using Dior... but I'm looking for something else. I tried the MAC Green Gel thing and after the second time trying it, my face started peeling but I do like the Scrub Mask. For the price, I don't think Dior is worth it IMO.

 

[amazonna]

My favorite brand is Shu. I really love their cleansing oil.

 

[eyeshadowfreak]

For me, Philosophy hands down. My skin is sensitive and I've used the spectrum of their products without a single reaction.

 

[Cedar]

I've resigned myself to the fact that I'm going to have bad skin for the rest of my life, but in the meantime I like Lush, Philosophy, Mario Badescu, and Kiehl's. Mario Badescu products are surprisingly inexpensive; at least their cleansers are.

 

[notevenjail]

I use a mish-mash of MAC, Chanel, Serious Skincare, Neutrogena, Phytomer, and the Body Shop which seem to be working excellently. Really I think it comes to trial and error - some things are fab for one person and horrible for another (just don't be afraid to return things that don't work.)

 

[Chelsea]

biotherm...

 

[PrettyKitty]

My fave brand is Biotherm. I've been using that brand since 5 (or 6?) years (I'm 19 years old!).

I'm really in love with:

- Source Therapie
- Aquasource
- Hydra Deto2x Eyes

Fav Skin Care Line

What is everyones favorite skin care line? I'm talking more than one product...which line, in your experience, has the best array of products? I haven't been able to find one yet, and I'm still looking so I'd love to hear your opinions on this!

 

[joytheobscure]

Philosophy I love their purity made simple its all i need for skincare along with their microdermabrasion kit. Worth the $$$$

 

[mspixieears]

For me it'd be a toss-up between Korres and Aesop. Expensive, but really nice. I use a couple of products from Dermalogica and that has a massive range of products - the ones that stands out for me are

Special cleansing gel
Daily microfoliant

Aesop is a bit harder to come by in Nth America but Korres is available on Sephora online. I used to get a friend to send it to me from Greece, but I'm really glad it's available here now too!
