Skincare faves at the moment!

[MACGoddess]

Hey all, lets do a skincare current faves list... I'll start with mine!

I have totally changed my skincare regime, I pretty much use all MAC Skincare now and a Glycolic acid cleanser in the morning. I pretty much never use Differin gel anymore and my face is clear and super soft!!

MD Forte Glycolic Acid Cleanser (30%)

MAC Microfine Refinisher - CAN'T live without this!! 2x a week

MAC Scrub Mask - 1x a week, no idea what I will do when I run out of it, it is d/c

MAC Day spf 15 Light Moisture - apparently MAC Studio Moisture Fix spf 15 IS Day Light in a different package, so even though it is d/c it is "coming back"

MAC Cleanse Off Oil - I use this as a m/u remover and cleanser when I come home from work and take off my m/u, another must have!

 

[Dubsbelle]

My HG’s:

Px: Neostrata Toning solution w/8% glycolic acid & 2% clindamycin

Px: Benzoyl Peroxide 5% w/2% clindamycin

Derma E Clear Skin 2 Spot Blemish Treatment

Derma E Tea Tree and E Antiseptic Crème

But I am currently *testing samples* and LOVING:

GREEN CREAM 6%

CAUDALIE Vinopure Matte Finish Fluid

CAUDALIE C20 Moisturizing Cream

Coppertone Oil Free Faces Sunblock Lotion SPF 30 - mornings

Freeman's Purifying Clay Masque w/ avocado and oatmeal - 1-2 times a week

I need a new scrub and regular moisturizer, so I'm saving up for Epidermx and camellia oil.

I am currently in love with:

Pond's Cold Cream:

This stuff is truly AMAZING! It takes off all of my MU at the end of the day...and I mean everything. That includes waterproof mascara and every bit of foundation. The cold cream leaves a sort of film so I follow up with...

Dove's Unscented Beauty Bar:

A cult classic...my skin feels so soft after I'm done.

Queen Helene's Mint Julep Mask:

Perfect mask for my acne-prone oily skin. Helps make my pores look way smaller.

 

[beautynista]

Excellent thread! I'm currently loving:

- ACV toner

- Clarins Cleansing Milk with Gentian

- Vitamin E oil

- Aveeno Skin Brightening Daily scrub

- L'Oreal Gentle Waterproof eyemakeup remover

I'm testing out the following, and i'm totally loving them!

- Pears soap

- Clarins Hydra Care lotion SPF 15

- Clarins Toning lotion

- Clarins Thirst Quenching Mask

Still looking for my HG sunblock that's paraben-free, oil-free and with a mineral/physical block. I've also made an order for jojoba oil, camellia seed oil, patchouli oil and rose hip oil, can't wait to try them!

I suppose that's the case with all physical sunblocks, which sucks! I'll definitely let you know though

[PerfectMistake]

Right now I am loving my odd combination of Clinique Foaming Face Wash (Mild), ProActiv Toner, and Neutrogena Multi-Vitamin Acne Treatment Moisturizer. It's getting my face clear everyday - slowly...but it's keeping the acne away and my face is smoother than ever!!

Clinical Basic Skin Care is my HG skin care line!

I use the gentle cleansing beads followed by the gentle cleanser AM and PM, the Blemish Blaster as a spot treatment and on blemish prone areas, and the Hydrating Gel Emulsion as needed. My skin is the clearest it's been in ages and it's such a simple regime! I've actually made it through 3 periods so far without any cysts or breakouts and that makes me very happy!

I just started on clinical basics (about 5 weeks now) and my skin looks more even toned. I am still getting the hormonal acne which stinks. I am hoping my skin clears up soon. I love the same products you list.
Sharron at clinical basics is great!

 

[girl_geek]

Neutrogenia On-The-Spot Treatment (2.5% benzoyl peroxide) -- does a great job of clearing up my acne, but doesn't dry out my skin like the 10% solutions do!

CO Bigelow Extra Light Face Lotion -- THE only product that has made ANY difference in my oily skin! Previously, my face would be shiny by mid-morning, but now it doesn't get shiny until closer to lunch! However, my afternoon, the effects of the lotion seem to wear off and I'm back to my oily, greasy self! lol

Neutrogenia Eye Makeup Remover -- doesn't leave a greasy film like the last makeup remover I tried (Maybelline).

Other products I am using are Stridex Maximum Strength (but honestly I don't know if this is really doing anything), and Cetaphil face cleanser with a Buf Puf sponge (recommended by my dermatologist).
