Clinique All About Eyes Serum De-Puffing Eye Massage. I’ve been using it twice a day exactly as directed for a couple of weeks. It feels really nice and cooling when I apply it, but I don’t see that it’s making any difference at all on my eyes so far.
CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum. Been using it for about a month alternating it nighlty with an 8% aha lotion and love the results.
Peach Slices BHA toner. Bought and love it. Works just as well as Paula’s Choice but a fraction of the cost
Josie Maran Argan Daily Tinted Moisturizer SPF 47 due to hearing how wonderful and deeply hydrating it is from Tara @ Tarababyz! And, yes, I really do love it for both UV protection when I’m out and about, plus its rich hydration. Yet, I still miss my old favorite moisturizer sunscreen by FAB.
There have been several but the Neogen Dermology Lemon Peeling Pads have been amazing. I saw a review of them on Makeup Alley and saw that I could get a jar for a great price on Amazon so wanted to give them a try. They are amazing. I’ve had a buried whitehead or milia or something on my jawline for a while and it would get smaller with various retinol products but then it would return or get large again. These pads used nightly (they are huge so I use each one several times and store in a zip lock baggie between uses) have taken the thing away entirely. I was shocked, actually, to run my hand over my jaw the other day and there was absolutely NO trace of a bump there.
My latest skincare purchase has been The Ordinary’s Caffeine under eye serum. A little while ago I noticed that my under eye area was a bit dry, so I purchased this product after some research. I really like this product as it gently moisturises that delicate area of your face. I would repurchase it too.
Supergoop (Re)setting 100% Mineral Powder SPF 35. This was last year. I bought it, and have repurchased. I was looking for a easy mineral touch up sunscreen for the my face.
Skin products rarely “catch my eye.”. Typically, if I have a need, I research and go looking.
I’m terribly interested in the new Phytoestrogen Elasticity Renewal Serum from Paula’s Choice (I always love to try their new products, even if they are not for my skin type)… but since it’s targeted more for pre-menopausal women I feel like I’d be overdoing it with the anti-aging stuff.
A Dutch drugstore brand called Krudivat makes pretty good skincare products under the name “Originals (1975)” that do the job for MUCH less money than most brands. I purchased Day Cream with Tea Tree Oil (to treat face mites and overall antiseptic), an eye cream, and a Dead Sea minerals hydrating mask. So far, I’m more than pleased and glad I took the leap, since the price was so low I thought they wouldn’t work. I’ll definitely purchase again (and hopefully the store that had them, a famous French makeup store that slowly dying), will continue to carry the brand or perhaps another store will pick up the line.
Tonymoly’s I’m Rice Clarifying Mask and their Watermelon All Over Dew Serum. Ulta had the brand for buy one get one 40% off. I took the plunge on both! The serum is a great evening moisturizer for my face. I’ve been drier than dry with the 100+ degree weather lately. I’ve only used the mask twice but it’s part of my weekend “Sarah’s Self-Care Session” now! Reminds me of the Lush Rosy Cheeks mask. Doesn’t smell as good, and it’s a bit denser, but I like it nonetheless.
