in the past had used clinique, but mostly neutrogena for the last 4-5 years. very recently switched to st. ives (alberto-culver) when i became sensitive to the issue of animal testing -- thanks to HH! :valentine:

st. ives pretty OK so far :veryhappy:

hmm.... :scratchchin:

i've just started using neutogena and it works pretty well (i reccomend it for those who are looking) it doesnt sting the eyes as much as clinque does though so thats a plus too.
i do still like clinque and sometimes i sneak some from my mom's bathroom lol. she has a lot of that type of stuff because she used to work at Lancome and clinque :D

I'm still having pimples at age 25! but dont worry, you are still young so age is on ur side. try not to use cosmetics as it will clog your pores. i think the pimples will be lessened in your late teens and after :)

I use lush products almost religiously - they're more expensive but they're homemade and fresh...also they don't test on animals. What lush is wonderful for is for people who constantly have bad reactions to other products - since they use the minimum amount of preservatives and other nasty chemicals, it's very good for sensitive skin. My skin isn't all that sensitive, but I love the smell.

Their bath bombs and bubble bar slices are fantastic as well - I'm so spoiled I won't put anything else in to spice up my bath.

If you're interested in purchasing any of their products the website is www.lush.com.

I can help recommend products if anyone's interested. :)

HB ~ My sister-in-law uses Dermalogica and swears by it. I have to use hypoallergenic products so in the past I used Neutrogena but I found that my skin tends to break out with it. Now I use Olay Age Defying Daily Renewal Cleanser. It contains a Beta Hydroxy Complex and microbeads to sluff off dead skin (very important as you get older). I also use Loreal Eye Defense for my eye moisturizer. For a daily moisturizer (which is important even if you have problematic skin) I use Clean & Clear Morning Glow moisturizer with SPF 15. It is great and made for teens. It is light enough that it does not make me break out and I love the fact that it contains sunscreen.

I once tried that Proactive....OMG....my skin broke out so horribly that I could not believe it! I did ":crybuckets:". My other sister-in-law had the same reaction to it as I did so I would not recommend that product.

I don't think you necessarily have to buy the "expensive" stuff. You just need to find what works right for your skin. I am 37 and quite often get mistaken for being much younger....not that I am complaining. :laughing: Maybe its my clothes and "I don't want to grow up" attitude! :wink:

My boyfriend's older brother uses Proactive and it has really helped, he had a lot of pimples but now he has a pretty smooth face lol. I use the Clean&Clear line. I love the morning burst face wash, it really does wake you up. And all of their products keep your face clean without being especially harsh or drying. :)
