Scrubs -Ren - Jojoba Microbead Purifying Facial Polish
makeupmadness 7/30/2005 12:21:00 AM
I have sensitive, combination skin, that seems to go red at the hint of anything irritating, I can confidently say that I have used everything when it comes to trying to keep my skin clean and clear, including, avene, dermalogica, Dr hauschka, Avalon, Clarins, Shisheido, Supermarket brands, Jurlique, Perfect potion (australian natural brand), and many many more. This particular scrub is magnificent. It is so gentle, doesn't scratch, doesn't irritate (even though there is peppermint oil - it is way down on the ingredient list) it leaves skin feeling extra clean rather than scratched to death. I have also tried Paula's choice BHA 1% lotion, as I normally dont like the mechanical cleansers, but it is really quite harsh for me. I also tend to have a few break outs, but they have been becoming less through the use of this range. I have been using for 1 month now, and still happy. In terms of price I think it will actually save me money even though it is a tad expensive as I tend to buy a range and then use it for a bit and buy another one and so on. I hope this is helpful info ;) EDIT: I ended up buying a second bottle of this, but half way through decided that the peppermint was irritating me after repeated use, so used it all up on my body

Cleansers -Avene - Rinse-off Gel Cleanser

Hello - I have to agree with the others, it does seem to be a very good cleanser for oily/combo/sensitive skin, that reddens easily (my skin type) Like many of us, I have tried so many things, and they always seem to disappoint me. I think this product is very reasonably priced ($25 Australian) especially for the amount you get (maybe that is because I am jaded after trying almost everything, or what seems like everything known to man). I certainly think it is worth trying if you are over what you are using and have a similar skin type to mine. I have only been using it for 2 weeks though, so I will keep you updated... :) EDIT: I would not use this again, too harsh for me
