This is a great product especially if you have thin hair that tangles easily. I just finished up with Moroccan Oil and started on this. I like this so much better. Silky smooth hair even though it has been highlighted for many years. I find myself wanting to run my fingers through my hair just because the texture is so lovely.

Treatments -Garden of Wisdom - Manuka Honey
rated 5 of 5

Manuka honey (any brand that has at least 8 UMF) is an incredible product to have on hand. Take it by the spoonful for sore throat/cough or apply it directly to face for 10-30 mins for a lovely mask that will take away redness, dry skin and leave your skin feeling smooth. It's a go-to for irritation, I wouldn't be without it in my pantry... Get some!

I don't know why I don't use this all the time but I should! Whenever I end up having an issue be it a flare up from rosacea, redness/flaky/dry patches, I apply this serum to calm things down. Without fail, this product takes care of the skin problems and gets me back on track. My husband uses it to calm irritation on his neck from shaving. I recommend this for all skin types.

Mascara -BeneFit Cosmetics - They're Real

Did a comparison test w/another mascara. This one does not cause raccoon eyes and is easy to remove. I'm not keen on spending over $15 for mascara however, this one is worth it IMO.

Made skin feel like it had a film over it, did not moisturize. The daily cream for oily to combo skin was better even though I have dry skin.

Treatments -La Roche Posay - Derm Aha
rated 4 of 5
monty713 5/2/2012 2:06:00 PM

I use this every 3 days. Much better than having to exfoliate with messy products, no need to rinse off. My sensitive, rough, dry skin is now much more smooth. LRP is one of my go-to lines for many years now. Started using them in my early 30s and now at 44, people tell me I look like I'm in my early 30s!

Moisturizers -La Roche Posay - Redermic-Normal/Combination Skin
rated 4 of 5

Have used LRP products for many years. Received a sample of this when I purchased their Derm AHA. This product has a lovely texture and goes on smoothly. I liked the results but fell in love when my husband commented on how nice my skin looked...and I wasn't even wearing foundation!!! Went out and purchased right away!

Tinted Moisturizer -NARS - Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer
rated 5 of 5
monty713 4/29/2012 8:36:00 AM

Love this! Purchased "Alaska", texture is silky, smooth, lovely! No perfume-y scent and improved the look and feel of my skin. Doesn't feel like I have makeup on and very easy to build in areas where a little more coverage is needed. I like this much better than Laura Mercier TM. Excellent for dry/sensitive skin.

Liquid -Chanel - Vitalumiere Aqua
rated 3 of 5
monty713 4/29/2012 8:28:00 AM

Expected more from Chanel. I was not put off by the price but what I dislike about this product is:1) scent, alcohol 2) texture, it sinks in but in a bad way...accentuates lines/pores 3) packaging, can't tell how much product remains 4) process, must shake thoroughly

Love this! Not sure how others are getting a "tacky" feeling. I was told to use moisturizer on top but no need, it does it all. I feel radiant!

I'm a long time user of the LRP line and I think this product is the best so far. Love the packaging, texture, no scent and beautiful results. I'm going to be sticking with this one for a while. Thanks to LRP for their research and effort to help those with sensitive skin.
