This is not very moisturizing. It did nothing for dark circles, puffiness or wrinkles.

Cleansers -DHC - Deep Cleansing Oil

Something in the DHC products gives me cystic pimples. My skin is rather sensitive. This has a great feel and melts dirt and makeup away. However, there is no skincare product I will continue to use if it makes me break out.

This gave me cystic pimples that took about a month to go away. Yuck!!! I did not notice any fading of sun damage, but maybe I did not use it long enough. It has a very light texture; not for dry skin.

Moisturizers -Olay - Total Effects Moisturizing UV Formula
rated 2 of 5

I used this for about two years and continued to look older and older. Finally, I switched to Murad and Skinceuticals and quickly noticed a difference in the tone, texture, and fine lines of my skin. This is okay for a moisturizer but does nothing for anti-aging. I also don't like the way the pump works. Too much comes out and it ends up being wasteful.

Moisturizers -Murad - Energizing Pomegranate Moisturizer SPF 15
rated 5 of 5

I got this as a gift with purchase and was initially a little wary. It is very light, and I have dry skin. However, it works great and provides enough moisture for most of the year. In the winter I need to use something else. It smells great and feels tingly on my skin. I really like all Murad products.

Moisturizers -Murad - Essential-C Day Moisture SPF 15
rated 5 of 5

I have used this moisturizer for about a year, along with the rest of the essential-c line. My texture and tone of sun damaged, dry skin has improved. While this is pretty expensive, at least it has improved my skin, which I have not ever seen in drug/department store brands. I will keep using it.

I love this moisturizer. It smells great and feels good on my skin. I use the whole essential-c line, and I have noticed a big improvement in the texture and tone of my skin. I am in my 30s with dry, sun damaged skin and a few fine lines. This works for me!

Cleansers -Murad - Environmental Shield Essential-C Cleanser
rated 5 of 5
tbarnes 1/24/2007 8:49:00 PM

I really like the whole essential-c line. This cleanser is gentle with a nice, light citrus fragrance. It seems gentle, and I have had no problems with breaking out, which happens to me with some products. It easily washes away all makeup.

Treatments -Skinceuticals - C E Ferulic
rated 5 of 5

This has definitely helped improve the tone and texture of my sun damaged skin. My skin is sensitive, and probably because I use a retin a product, it initially flaked and scaled a little. When I added the skinceuticals b5, the scaling stopped. What I don't like is the packaging. Several times I have almost knocked it over. If this happens, all the serum would be lost. Also, I think the list price is ridiculously high, but it is affordable on ebay. Even with the drawbacks, I will keep using it because it does work.

Treatments -Murad - Essential-C Daily Renewal Complex

I am in my mid 30's with lots of sun damage. After using the Essential-C line for three months, I do see an improvement in my skin tone and fine lines. I recommend this whole line, but it is pricey.
