Two Raves I discovered over the weekend.
I needed a good night cream and I was looking for something that would help fade my acne scars and lessen wrinkles (and hydrate my dry winter skin) but I didn't want to pay a lot so I started doing some research online and found a couple of drugstore brands that looked to be my ticket. I am a big fan of Neutrogena products because everything I have tried (usually) does what is it claims so I bought the Neutrogena Healthy Skin® Anti-Wrinkle Intensive Night Cream and I am loving it! It is very creamy...a little goes a long way. I woke up and my face did not feel dry but there were tiny flecks of skin all over it....it was the exfoliating that the tube mentioned may occur. I washed my face with the Neutrogena® Oil-Free Acne Wash Foam Cleanser and my skin felt fine. I moisturized like normal and my skin looked great. I did the same thing again the next night and when I woke up I had more tiny flakes but I noticed that my acne scars are lightening up and one bothersome zit that would not go away was completely gone! I am on my 3rd night and I am still impressed with the results. I had to use hardly any concealer because my regular foundation covered up my scars and dark spots.
Neutrogena® Oil-Free Acne Wash Foam Cleanser http://www.neutrogena.com/ProductsDetails_115.asp Smells good. Takes off make up pretty good (not eye makeup). It is a bit drying so I had to use a heavier daytime moisturizer.
Neutrogena Healthy Skin® Anti-Wrinkle Intensive Night Cream http://www.neutrogena.com/ProductsDetails_319.asp: No smell. Small tube. Great gentle exfoliator but it did cause some dry flakes (but my skin didn't have that annoying dry tight feel...just peeled.) I did not feel that it was super hydrating like the box claimed but it may be once all the dead skin is gone. I'll keep you posted.
I bought the L'Oreal Acne peel kit and will try it as soon as my skins adjusts to this night cream.
I also use the Neutrogena Healthy Skin® Anti-Wrinkle Intensive Eye Cream and I have had good results. I is not super hydrating so I use it over my moisturizer. |

Great Reviews Olivia 
I can't wait to see your review on the L'Oreal Acne peel kit, this is something that has caught my eye a few times. |

I love this stuff, too! It has the same effect for me as an aspirin mask and it's more convenient, IMO. When I do use it (periodically), I use it at night so I haven't needed to worry about needing more moisturizer. When I wake up, I don't notice any excessive drying effect. Just a nice even complexion. |
