These are the HG products that I will always have a stock of in the bathroom:

-Cosmetic Skin Solutions C E Ferulic
- Vichy Aqualia Thermal spf15/PPD 18 (Face)
- La Roche Posay Anthelios Dermo-Pediatrics SPF50 (neck and hands)
- Macadamia Nut Oil
- La Mer moisturizing cream

I will no doubt experiment with other cleansers and perhaps other oils (squalane and Pomegranate) but these products are staples and are keeping my skin happy.

I think I can finally add Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask to my holy grail. It works wonderfully in removing my blackheads (although temporarily) and just clearing any stubborn spots. Hope this doesn't jinx it lol Razz

Emu oil with a drop of PSF HA serum at night whenever my skin feels a little dry. I wait at least a half hour after applying the retinol.

Aveeno Positively Radiant Moisturizer SPF 15
Jane Iredale PurePressed Base SPF 20

Benefit's Benetint for lips. Top it with any gloss or balm.

Almay eye makeup remover pads (with oil)

I'd say my holy grail product is PSF Green Tea Cleanser - I use it with a microfiber cloth, and it's awesome!

Ditto on the freeman mask gretchen, I was in the cosmetics department the other day and found it on clearance for $5 so bought four bottles.

I change products regularly but have always stuck with products that contain Vitamins A, C, and E also Niacinamide. Most of those products have given me results.

Other Holy Grail products would be vitamin e oil, rosehip oil, freeman peel off mask, Avon lip plumping conditioner, Make Up Artists Choice range of peels and exfoliants.

Alpha Hydrox Moisturizing Cleanser - gentle and effective. I replaced Obagi's cleanser with this during the program and it's gentler.

Easy Eye Solutions Eye Tuck - nothing depuffs like it.

Obagi Nuderm - the entire program WORKS!

Revlon Colorstay Overtime Lipcolor - in Bare Maximum. I can't live without the this. I apply twice a day and forget it.

Cle de Peau - concealor

Armani Light Master Primer

Makeup Artist Choice Peels - all of them.

Bonacare Time Restore Shampoo and Conditioner

With the same brand they have another version. For me, it worked really well for allergy puffiness.

Thank you so much for replying!

I have one HG product so far that I keep repurchasing over and over: the Shiseido Tsubaki hair conditioner (white version bottle) for damaged hair. I have highlights done regularly and it's the only thing that keeps my hair smooth and healthy.

You can buy it from imomoko (www.imomoko.com - click 'shop by brand', then 'shiseido', then 'tsubaki') which is US based, from Sasa (www.sasa.com - search for 'tsubaki') which is Asia based, and from Ebay. I buy mine from ebay because the particular seller I buy from ('choko_mk') offers free shipping, and as it is a heavy product - I get the 550 ml bottle - it works out pretty weel money-wise. They have three ranges: the red one, the gold one and the white one. I personally prefer the white one but the yellow one is pretty good as well. I hope this helped!
