Hello to everyone. I have been lurking around the forums for a while checking out everyone's experiences.
I would just like to ask about everyone's opinion on PSF products in general and their papaya cleaner for combo skin, has any1 that has used it b4 find it deep cleaning enough?
Also currently on a look-out for a good lip-balm(non-glossy please  ). Looking at the one from Jurlique's, what's everyone using?  |

Hi! While I have not tried the PSF Papaya cleanser, I've heard a TON of good things about it and I will probably try it after I've used up some of the cleansers I'm currently using. I've fallen in love with so many of PSF's products (balancing oil, O2 Serum, pumpkin peel, etc), so I have high hopes for the papaya cleanser too.
As for lip balms, my favorite basic, un-flavored, ultra-soothing lip balm is by Desert Essence. It's on sale right now at drugstore.com http://www.drugstore.com/user/promo.asp?code=25FF01AB&trx=GFI-0-EVGRGD-FI&trxp1=87260&trxp2=46994&trxp3=4&btrx=BUY-GFI-0-EVGRGD-FI , if you're interested. Another basic, non-glossy option that I find very moisturizing and soothing is Caudalie's lip balm. For flavored/scented balms, I LOVE Ganache For Lips (very rich, chocolately smell and flavor), Duwop's Buttercream, and Candessence's Gimme a Smooch lip balm. (You can find the Candessence balms atwww.candessence.com--- they come in a ton of great flavors!) |

Thank you for such a fast reply 
Definately will get the Caudalie's lip balm on my next EDS order.
I'm have combo skin and have to use a very deep cleanser to clean out my pores at night(Yonka Gel nettoyant is not deep enough but good enough for mornings  ), and i already use a cleaning sponge! I have been a faithful user of ole henriksen's moisturers for quite a while and their primrose complexion soap did its job good enough, but after moving to a drier climate in Australia's winter recently, it turned out to be too drying for me now  so im on a lookout for a replacement cleanser and after reading everyone's rave reviews on Dr.H cleaning cream, its under my to-buy list. Just looking at other alternatives and am glad EDS gives generous samples |

Btw
liz, do u apply the O2 serum during the nite/day, before the balancing oil? It seems like a great alternative to the Vit-C serums which i don't really like in the mornings. |

| I usually apply the O2 serum in the morning, after I cleanse and tone, before my blemish serum, balancing oil, etc. (I also apply it sometimes at night if my skin needs a lil extra help...^-^) |

Hi Wein
I have sampled a wide range of the PSF products and really like their Vit C serum and Balancing oil.
The papaya cleanser was nice, but after using for prolonged periods I found it quite drying for my oily skin. It will definitely give you a deep cleanse if you work it in a little.
I tried a sample of the Jurlique lipbalm, but unfortunately not moisturising enough for me (I'm prone to chapped lips). It sank in very fast but didn't have enough emollience and it's very $$ too. |

I love PSF! But I have dry skin, so the products I use from the range would mostly differ fron the ones you would need.
I can recommend the Pumpkin Peel, which you might like too.
As for lip balms, I've just been trying out a fantastic one - it's by BareFaced Minerals and contains loads of natural goodies, including shea butter. Non-glossy, makes your lips feel ever so soft, and even lasted through me drinking a huge glass of fruit juice. I'll definitely repurchase. |

I only sampled PSF Papaya Cleaner. It was quite some time ago. Surely it is very nice. All the PSF products I have used are of high quality.
As far as lip balm, I am currently using two. Decleor Lip Balm in a nice generous pot. It is a very nice product. Very moisturizing to your lips and healing. Recently I ordered several products from Candessence. I received her lip balm in chocolate.  This is a lovely balm for day wear (under lipstick) as it is not heavy or greasy. The only problem is I want to lick it off my lip. 
Other nice lip treatments I have used: PSF Plump and Pout. It sinks in give you a slight plumping and nice lipstick base. The Body Deli out of California have lovely lip balms. The BD I would prefer to use at night. |

| I have been using the PSF acne treatment mud as a mask for the T-zone. My nose has quite a bit of blackhead and large pores. I leave the mud on overnight and it really works. I think it helps with the oiliness and shrink the pores a bit. |

| While we are on the PSF product. I'd like to comment about the peach facial scrub and the pumpkin enzyme peel. I use the facial scrub first then I follow it with the pumpkin enzyme peel. My skin looks so clear afterward and then I apply my usual serum and moisturizer. I can see a difference the next morning. The pumpkin enzyme peel is a bit strong though so don't leave it on for more then 5 minutes. |
