Sunscreen -L'Oreal - Solar Expertise SPF25
rated 2 of 5

I bought it as it's active ingredient is mexoryl (titanium dioxide breaks me out). It's too oily to be used on face. The anti-sand cover is not practical (well, I don't use sunscreen only at the beach)

My HG sunscreen. It's the only sunscreen that doesn't make me oily. The price is not expensive, I put a generous amount every day and it lasts me more than 1 year. It dries to dewy/soft matte finish.

This is my HG cleanser. I've oily skin and it doesn't break me out. I use it also for eyes, it doesn't sting at all. The price is a little expensive for a cleanser, but it worths.

I like the smell of this shampoo. It keeps my hair clean for 2-3 days. The package is difficult to open.

I've oily skin and I use it as a light weight moisturizer. The pH is too high for it to be effective as BHA. I hate the package! It's difficult to get the right quantity.

Very natural looking. I like the no mascara look. It doesn't clump and does not smear. Anyway, if you are looking for something with dramatical effect, skip it.

I suspect it breaks me out. I don't think toner is a necessity, won't buy again.

Cleansers -Clinique - Rinse-off foaming cleanser

It's a nice cleanser that cleans but doesn't dry my skin. Won't buy again as it contains irritants.

Treatments -Origins - Super Spot Remover
rated 1 of 5

It stings and works only very slightly. It dries the blemish, but afterall I can find much better products at similar price. By the way, it's not invisible and remember to put moisturizer over, otherwise you'll appear to be with dry spots.

I like the warming feeling of this mask, it helps to clear those stubborn clogged pores. But probably I'll not buy it again as it contains irritant.

I like this mask. Last summer I had some blackheads on my face, this mask together and the Body Shop warming mineral mask cleared them (I don't know which one was working, as I alternate them). Unluckily now I live in Italy and here there is no Origins product :(
