Here's my holy grail skin care products that really made dramatic changes, and I am super critical and picky... post yours!
Philosophy Purity cleanser: I was always put off by Philosophy products, I thought they were gimmicky and not all that, until I tried this one. This stuff is amazing! It's like milk on your face, and it completely dissolves your makeup, and leaves your skin so cleansed and BALANCED! Not too dry, not to hydrated, just perfect. I've tried sooo many cleansers, but none come close to this, the very first time I used it I could tell it was amazing.
The Body Shop Vitamin E moisture cream: Once again, it was one of those products that I used once and could tell a difference. I put this on at night, mixed with a Philosophy serum, and I woke up to a much better complexion. Instant gratification! It's just hydrating without being oily, just very normal and balancing, probably not good for extreme dry or oily skin, but perfect if you have normal or combination skin.
Philosophy When Hope Is Not Enough serum: I mix 3-4 drops of this each morning and night with the Body Shop vitamin E cream, and I feel like my skin drinks it up. It is completely absorbed when used alone, leaves absolutely no residue, and I feel like it has made a noticeable difference. I've been using it since February, and one bottle lasts a long time, which I love! I can notice a difference in the texture and fine lines of skin, they are so much more plumped and smoothed, my pores are smaller, my skin tone is much more even, and my face is just tighter and smoother all around.
Cosmedix Opti Crystal (formerly Eye Believe) serum: I use this on my eyelids and beneath my eyes at night, it is sooo hydrating! It's very thick and tacky, like lipgloss, and very emollient. It really helps plump your fine lines, and I even use it on my lips! You will notice changes quickly with this product!
La Vanila face sunscreen spf 40: a completely non chemical sunscreen, very mild, perfect for sensitive skin, won't burn your eyes!
Retin A: This takes forever to notice differences, and your skin will look like crap for a while, but then all of the sudden, will start to look amazing! It will completely eliminate acne, especially blackheads, clogged pores, enlarged pores. It will completely re texturize your complexion. I only use it in the winter time.
Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion: My absolute favorite exfoliator of all time.... I use this once a week or so on my entire face and neck, for two minutes, with light pressure, small circular motions, making sure not to press to hard but rather do it for a full two minutes. The crystals don't dissolve so you have to be careful, but this will polish your skin so well, nothing comes close... and a little bit goes a long way! I actually prefer this to the real microdermabrasion, which I've done many times.
Ok, tell me yours!
