Skincare - Body -Johnson & Johnson - Head to Toe baby wash
ep27 3/26/2011 11:31:00 PM
This is a review for using this product as a face cleanser. PROS: *Reasonably priced *Low sudsing *Minimal ingredients *Light scent *Huge bottle has a great pump lid CONS: *At first I believed this was gentle, but it burns broken skin :( *Does not remove Revlon Colorstay Really happy to discover this on Makeup Alley. Perhaps with more research, I can find a generic brand with the same ingredients. I use this after Pond's Cold Cream, so I'm not sure how well this would remove makeup (for those who don't use Colorstay). As a body wash, I do not use this because it doesn't "sud" well and does not make me feel clean. UPDATE: I believe this is the culprit for my face severely drying out. I have never had a problem with dry skin!

Treatments -Unlisted Brand - Calamine Lotion
ep27 3/26/2011 11:26:00 PM
This review is for CVS brand Calamine lotion. PROS: *Lasts a long time *Unscented *Great acne spot treatment *Great mask *Minimal ingredients list CONS: *VERY thin consistency I am hoping to find this cheaper at a $1 store or Dollar General. I thought it was a little overpriced at CVS (and it was their brand).

Eye Makeup Remover -Avon - Moisture effective Eye makeup remover
ep27 3/26/2011 11:20:00 PM
PROS: *Cheap CONS: *I did not feel comfortable rubbing this creamy remover around my eyes. I love the Mary Kay eye makeup remover because I can use a cotton pad or ball to wipe off the mascara, so I switched back.

Toners -Unlisted Brand - Drugstore Witch hazel
ep27 3/26/2011 11:14:00 PM
PROS: *Removes traces of oil and makeup (after using Pond's Cold Cream) *Not irritating *Cheap (I think it is sold at $1 stores and Dollar General. It is overpriced in the drugstores.) I have used name brands and generic brands with success. The smell is very mild and you get used to it. I may try a green tea/chamomile tea/apple cider vinegar toner sometime, but this really works for me.

PROS: *Feels light & breathable (compared to Revlon Colorstay) *Buildable coverage *Easy to wash off with cleanser then witch hazel CONS: *Concerned about putting salicylic acid around my eyes *Inadequate coverage (for me) *Too drying *Accentuates peelies/flakies from healing pimples This may work better for those with really oily skin but don't count on heavy coverage.
