| Avene's retinaldehyde stuff, particularly Diacneal. It has done wonders in clearing up my skin. Particularly those nasty little bumps that never seem to respond to normal acne meds, i.e. refuse to dry out or shrink or come to a head. Pure Vitamin E oil has also done a lot to help heal acne scars and moisturize and plump up my chronically dry, chapped lips (HA + collagen supplements have also helped) |

For me, it isnt a cream or lotion. It is a battery-operating facial brush use with cleanser. It cleanses my face so perfectly, no more flakies (no more scrubbing), reduced my blemishes (acnes, balckheads) for up to 90% in a short period of time. my skin seems firmer, smoother and it glows. I can not live without it for a day.
before this brush, i've done regular facial, microdermabrasion, proactiv, regular extraction at home, change skincare constantly, even went to a herbalist, nothing worked to help my blemishes, and im talking abt those nasty cystic acne on my jaw, even the GP told me nothing will help except to go on the pill. Thank god, i can now start saving money. |

Clinique All About Lips

Dremu Emu Oil (**angels singing!** this stuff is great for all skin ailments IMHO)

Dermalogica's Microfoliant (use every second day - wouldn't be without it!)
MAC Cleansing Oil (removes ANYTHING!)

For my #1 wow, I have to say Cellular Skin Rx C + Firming Serum. It's just very effective. Though it's quite cheap when compare to other L-ascorbic acid products, it's still quite costly for me.
To save money, I even tried 100% L-ascorbic acid (powder one). Sadly, it didn't give me the same result I got from Cellular Skin Rx C + Firming Serum. |

Emu oil = very calming to red skin and thickens thinning or fragile skin. Add a small amount to your regular night cream.
DMAE in a serum or cream = immediate firming effect plus long term improvement in firming of my under eye and jaw area.
Essential oil of rosemary added in a small quantity to my night cream has helped control my oily t-section.
Essential oil of lavender added in a small quantity to my night cream smells gorgeous, makes me feel good, helps minimise broken capillaries and heal sunburnt skin. What more can you ask for?
Plain lanolin cream (if you are not allergic to lanolin) is the perfect antitidote to ragged cuticles, cracked lips or a nose that's red and sore from having to blow it constantly when you have a cold. |

| now that I think of it. I did try la prairie serum and I really saw the difference. But, it's too expensive for me and I think I can live without one for now. So, I didn't bother to use again. |

| Lush Sacred Truth mask. It doesn't claim anything on the packaging but it makes my skin glow. My pimples heal and pores look smaller after I use it. My T-zone is balanced and other areas hydrated by it. I haven't had any breakout since I started using it last month, not even before my period. Miracle! |

Decleor Essential Night Balm *
I love this, i use it every night and wake up with baby soft skin. many thanks to EDS ladies.
Shu Uemura eye shadow*
wide variety of color selection. colors are very pigmented, and the powder is very finely milled. no need to use much at all, i'm still using the one that i got at HK airport three years ago, and it looks like it'll last for another couple years. amazing...
I have tried many skin care products and not much has worked so far. I'm not giving it up though, my next trial will be :
Dr. Hauschka Rejuvenating Mask
Let me know if you all liked it, and if you didn't, why not.
btw, i'm 26, turning 27 in a couple weeks, and have normal skin with oily T-zone, large pores |

| I really like Ice Element's Anti-Aging serum--it has really helped with my under-eye wrinkles. It has helped soften even some very deep lines. |

mper1327,
could you share a little more on the Bliss Triple Oxygenating Mask? i got their catalog the other day, and was tempting to buy it, but haven't done so... sounds pretty good on their website, but i haven't found much review on this product here.
THanks in advance |

My most recent WOW product is Decleor Harmonie emulsion for sensitive skin. Years ago, I had used something very, very similar to this (it was in a little glass container like the Darphin toners). When I found out in 2002- 2003, that it was discontinued, I was disappointed and lost as to what to get next for a lotion. So, since then I've purchased all sorts of lotions, potions, oils looking for something that works great on my sensitive skin. I was at Nordstroms recently and was browsing at the decleor counter. I told the sales associate my sad story about my fabulous lotion that was discontinued. She said that from what I was describing, there was something similar. When I tried the emulsion, it was very much like my beloved Decleor lotion -- so, I purchased it. In a matter of a few days, this healed some ingrown hair sores that I've been struggling with for months on end and overall just makes my skin look better. For me, it's a great product.
Also, I recently discovered raspberry seed oil. It's very moisturizing for dry skin. |

| lassie 123 - I am using Primavera daily exfoliant cleanser on my skin in the morning. It is VERY delicate, does not leave my skin sore or red, and even with prolonged use does not cause my skin to break out, which most other exfoliating products do. My skin is clear and soft - don't know hown you will do with it, but might be worth a try! I get it through Saffron Rouge. |
