What is the best skin care products you have had results with?

there are so many product lines out there, it's soo hard to know where to start...I thought if someone has had success with particular line I will start there. I came across M.D Forte, Serious Skin, Ecco Bella, Olay, Neutrogena, Earth Science, Dove, aaagggghhhhh! what to do! If you could tell what brand(s) you use along with what they have given you results with and how often you use them, It would be of great help.

Re: What is the best skin care products you have had results with?

Decleor Aromassence Night Balm is one of the few things that has worked to promote radiant, healthy skin tone. After a week or so of using it, my skin just looked happier.

I dont use mouisturiers generally, but the one I did LOVE was " Resolution De-contraxol" by Lancome. Amazing stuff, and did not cause any breakouts.

For Acne, Clearisil 3-day treatment tube thingy, Origins "Chunk of Clay" and Avon 2 step peel.

For cleansing, "chunk of clay" is unbeatable, and Darphin makes some really good products as well.

Best brands in general in my opinion?

Darphin
Decleor
Origins
Aveda
Lancome

Re: What is the best skin care products you have had results with?

I'm not a big believer in using an entire line of products just because you like one or two of them. I mix & match, LOL!

My favorite cleansers: Aromaleigh Lavender Mandarin cleanser & Geografx Gentle Blue cleanser (once daily)

BHA products: Paula's Choice 2% BHA solution & Skin Biology's Exfol serum (I use both daily)

AHA product: Makeup Artist's Choice 30% glycolic acid peel (once a week for 6 weeks, skip 2 weeks, then repeat)

General exfoliation: Aromaleigh's microdermabrasion cream applied with the Dermanew machine (1-2 times/week)

Moisturizer: I use a mix of jojoba oil, hazelnut oil, evening primrose oil, borage seed oil, carrot seed oil, & a few drops of essential oils (twice daily)

Other products:
DMAE/Vitamin C serum (once daily)
Skin Biology's Copper Peptide serum (once daily)
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch sunblock (daily)
Aromaleigh Free Radical Quenching Serum (to eye area, in the evening)
Renova (every other day)

I have slightly oily, slightly sensitive, acne-prone skin - and I rarely get a breakout with this routine. I am also told frequently that I don't look my age.

I was just wondering if the decleor night balm or the lancome were greasy feeling, because I have slightly oily skin and don't like when moisturizers feel oily.

Oh yeh, where do i get this "chuk of clay?" for cleansing?

Have any of you taken accutane? If so, were any of these products good for that period as well, as I am thinking of going on it soon.


Thanks!

Did you have any slightly indented scars, or hyperpigmentation did this help the texture of your skin?

Moisturizer: I use a mix of jojoba oil, hazelnut oil, evening primrose oil, borage seed oil, carrot seed oil, & a few drops of essential oils (twice daily)

Do you buy this ready made, or do you mix them yourself?

Other products:
DMAE/Vitamin C serum (once daily) Is this serum oily? Can you get it at the health food store?Skin Biology's Copper Peptide serum (once daily)
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch sunblock (daily)
Aromaleigh Free Radical Quenching Serum (to eye area, in the evening)
Renova (every other day)
