i hate drug store brands that carry products with such harsh ingredients that only cause more harm to our skin. When I was a teen, i knew nothing about the right way to take care of my skin so i looked to these brands to tell me what to do. I bought pretty much anything that had a pretty label and claimed to get rid of acne and blackheads. I never knew pore strips could cause broken capillaries until i got them after 2 uses. Never knew benzoyl peroxide was damaging to my skin until after my first use of clean and clear’s 10% bp face wash, my face and eyes were puffy and red for a week. I also never knew certain face scrubs had jagged exfoliants that weren’t ideal for me, even though they would claim to be for my type of sensitive skin. I’m glad I finally learned though so that I could teach my niece and future daughter about the proper way to use skincare products.

I donot like to use products which mar my skin. At times its difficult to choose a product as facial skin differs from body skin.

i hate that its mainly a way to con money out of women (and men) by promising them the impossible.
If you keep your skin clean, hydrated and reasonably exfoliated, and wear heaps and heaps of sunscreen every single day, you wont need that $200 face cream with rare snake blood in it or whatever…

This is such an overwhelming topic. I have tried many brands. But I am really impressed with Fresh products. In particular Fresh Soy Cleanser, Anise Day Serum and the Mamaku Night Serum.

Excellent and well worth the money…it is rather pricey.

I really like the Clinique 3 Step system!
I HATE taking the time to do it though even if it only takes 3 minutes tops. im so lazy but it really does work well

I love Purpose because it's gentle and doesn't smell gross, Lush Grease Lightning and H20 Anti-Acne Clarifying Cleanser for acne. I always use moisturizers with SPF...right now I'm using H20 Face Oasis Plus Hydrating Fluid. I buy my skincare products at Target and TJ Maxx because I be po'...the Lush stuff was a gift.
