Skin Care Products Claims

EvelynLin · Mar 30, 2008

Hi:

I have decided to update my skin care product routine as my skin is now normal/dry. I spoke to a cosmetician at a reputable store where they carry many brands. I heard one brand is like putting lots of water on your face, the other is great for problem skin.

I also heard that many are made by the same cosmetic company - L'oreal making Vichy, Biotherm, Lancolm and L'oreal. Is one brand much different than the others? Can skin care products really do a lot for your skin -say more than washing with soap and water?

I would like a skin care product that is great for normal/dry combination skin that has a nice texture and does a lot to keep skin soft, radiant and moisturized or in other words beautiful. I would like a cheaper brand over a more expensive brand. What do you recommend?

Cetaphil is supposed to be good.

just because one brand is owned by another company doesn't mean its products won't be different.

do you have a normal/dry skin or combo ? if you want cheap skincare, nivea and neutrogena have good stuff.

i'm trying dr.brandt right now. i ordered a full size of his products off sephora and i'm hoping that it delivers.

Many brands are made by the same company. But I do believe that you can find certain products that improve the health of your skin and protect it from a harsh environment. You don't need to necessarily buy the most expensive products....pick and choose. I would recommend going to a department store and taking samples of all different products and find the one that is right for you.

I posted a thread called Who Rules the Cosmetic World? It is exactly about which big companies own what brands. Thought it would be interesting for you Evelyn.
