Best cheap n' cheerful skincare buys?

[kittenmittens]

just wondering what everyone's on-the-cheap skincare picks are - like moisturizers, cleansers, exfoliants, etc.

drugstore vs. prestige?

I've always liked Cetaphil cleanser. I think that one's a classic.

I like Cetaphil as well=)

Cetaphil cleanser and SPF 15 moisturizer

Clearasil Ultra Deep Pore Cleansing Pads!!! (my HG for finally clear skin)

Cetaphil is one of the best cleansers I've ever used. I like Philosophys and Liz Earles cleansers too but Cetaphil is the best value. It's not available in the UK so I buy a big bottle while in the US and it lasts ages. I also buy Olays Microderabrasion system and Neutrogena's Blackhead Mask while I'm over. I like high end brands usually but American drugstores ROCK! Three weeks today and I'll be in the air on my way over, Yaaayyyyyyy!

i have some pimple scars on on my forehead how do i get rid of those!?

I use Jergens Clear liquid soap as a cleanser. My face is very oily so I can handle the extra detergents in it.

To exfoliate, I mix a tsp of baking soda with the cleanser once a week.

IMO the skin's natural exfoliation is the only way to get rid of acne spots.

Retin A can accelerate the skin's rate of exfoliation.

Retin A requires a prescription - family doctor can write one.

Embryolisse has good moisturizer and it's not expensive.

Where do you get it ? Is there a website I can buy it from ?

 

[Leony]

I bought mine from local import store we have here.

I think Amazon.com has it, but you can google more.
