[Momo]

SKIN TYPE (Normal, dry, oily, combo, dehydrated, acne prone, sensitive): combo/oily/acne prone

CLEANSER: Right now I'm using Bioelements cleanser gel. I'm switching back to clean and clear Cream cleanser when it runs out, which seems to work better at not drying my skin.

TONER: Bioelements. a lot of improvement in my skin after starting this but I think it's mostly because i'm using a toner now, not which toner i'm using.

MOISTURISER (day and/or night): BE skin revver upper not really a big deal. just keeps my face from getting tight

EYE CREAM: benefit vanishing cream. also not a big deal. looking to switch soon

FACIAL WASH: same as the cleanser above i guess

EXFOLIATOR: once a week dermalogica gentle cream exfoliation mask

ACNE TREATMENT: I'll admit it, the pill worked wonders

MASK: same as exfoliant above. looking for a light moisturizer mask.

Originally Posted by maryfitz24 /img/forum/go_quote.gif My current skin care regimen is as follows: (normal skin, t-zone in summer, some breakout)
cleanser- Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser in AM, Prescriptives cleanser for normal skin in PM

toner- I do use one.

moisturizer- Prescriptives all you need (normal skin) in AM/PM, sometimes in PM, I use Serious Skin Care's 2 Vitamin A cream

exfoliator- Clinique's exfoliating scrub

eye cream- I do not buy a separate cream. I use samples from GWP (usually Clinique)

I am sure at some point I will be switching my skin care regimen. It seems like my skin gets used to something and then the products become ineffective. I have been using the Prescriptives for 3 weeks now. So far, so good. My skin has cleared up a great deal.

I now have a new regimen. I've been using it for 4 months now and my skin looks better than it has in years.
Skin type: normal (dry in winter, t-zone in summer)

cleanser: clinical basics facial wash

toner: none

exfoliator: clinical basics scrubbing beads

moisturizer: clinical basics cream emulsion (in winter), gel emulsion (in summer)

That's it. If needed, I use the clinical basics blemish buster. I also use the spf 27 from clinical basics. These products are the best I've found for my skin. I use minimal products (as you can see) and my skin has responded well.

I hope it continues.

I really like Isomers on shopnc. I think anyone could use them as they are mostly serums. They have a new GABA product right now. I am 51 with combo skin and am new to caring about skincare.
