Skin care help: "makeup optional"?

[hissycat]

Has anyone tried Philosophy's Makeup Optional skin care kit? It's kinda embarrassing but I got sucked into their infomercial. I used to use Obagi, which was great but Retin A isn't practical for me right now. How do you all feel about skin care lines? Think it's better than mixing and matching from various brands? Let me know what works for you.

Here's what works for me...

- Cleanse face 2 times a day with Glycolic Acid Cleanser (20% concentration)

- Mornings put Cetaphil spf 15 moisturizer on

- any makeup etc whatever, just make sure it is non-comedogenic non-acnegenic

- night after cleansing alternate Differin Gel one night and ROC Retinol Correxion night treatment another night

**Differin and some other Rx creams can be ordered from Canada for very cheap and I don't have to fax them my Rx slip, hence no annoying refill calls to my Dermatologist. I get mine for $30 a tube rather than $120 a tube.

Hey Kim, I didn't know this.. You know how some eye gels has peptides in them? And if I was gonna put Vit C serum on my face, do I have to watch it?

 

[qristeele]

Ah alright, I'll just be careful not to let the Vit C serum go anywhere near my eyes once the peptide are on them. Thanks for the info, Kim. You're always with a wealth of knowledge! :clap
