I realize I am way behind on this thread but I have a BURNING QUESTION.


So, I've been trying out philsophy Clear Days Ahead for my mild to moderate acne. I have normal skin. I DO NOT have oily skin. So I'm reluctant to try a lot of acne lines because they often sensitize my skin and fry my face (proactiv was a horrible experience!).

So far, I've had no irritation due to the philsophy Clear Days Ahead line, and my skin has cleared up somewhat. It's no miracle, I still have some small whiteheads and zits along the jawline, but they are smaller and go away faster than when I was using Dermalogica's line for normal skin (and some Mary Kay now and then).

But my hairstylist said Peter Thomas Roth was what cleared her skin up. That was one of the lines I was considering, but because it contained a mattifying gel, I assumed (and based on the Sephora reviews) that it was for oily skin. But my hairsylist said she has normal skin. Maybe I could just skip the mattifying gel?

Has anyone used both lines? What worked better?

Or, even better question: look at the ingredients of both (philsophy uses mostly salicylic acid and peter thomas roth uses beta hydroxy acid)...which is better? Or is it one of those things where I'm just going to have to try both and see?

HELP!

ETA: I decided to just go for it and bought the Peter Thomas Roth kit (I had to go searching for it because it was out of stock on most websites). Anyway, I found it, ordered it, and I'll let you guys know which kit worked the best. (And I'm definitely not going to use the mattifying gel. I'll send that to my mom who has oily skin).

Glad u go the PTR set! I use the orange face wash (the anti aging one) and I have really dry skin. Just don't put it on for too long, or it will dry u out too much or follow up with a good moisturizer.
It really helped me with my horrible backne.. (sorry TMI), I was so thankful I never had it on my face but my back was the problem. At sephora countless of dry clients tried a sample as per my recommendation and they came back to buy that line all the time! I think if u are dry salicylic is better than hydroxy anyway.

I want it for event photography. Sometimes the 50mm is too zoomed in, if you know what I mean. There's a 17-50mm one that's not too pricey from Sigma, so I have to decide whether to get that or the 35mm prime.

It would be agreat lens for that given the low light capability. What is the max aperture on the sigma? Is it variable?
