Treatments -Skinn Cosmetics - DermAppeal Microdermabrasion Treatment
skinguy25 3/13/2011 1:59:00 PM
I bought this treatment at TSC in Canada as part of a showstopper. The kit came with this AM cleanser, the PM cleanser, the wrinkle soak mask, and dermapeel treatment all for $50 canadian including taxes. I also got the kit on auto delivery every 2 months. Which in my mind quite frankly is a steal for such high quality products. In this kit the Skinn DermAppeal Microdermabrasion Treatment came in a 2 ounce size container with a screw top. The treatment is a blue, greyish color. Is like a paste. With dry fingers I scoop out about a quarter size amount and spread over my face and neck. I massage it in lightly for 1min, and then let it sit for another min before washing it off in the shower. The smell is very refreshing like peppermint. It works wonders for exfoliating all the dead skin. Helping with acne marks or scars. Fine lines or wrinkles are less apparent. It does not make me break out either. I use this three times a week. Probably my favorite out of the whole package. My skin type is oily in areas and acne prone. I have spent probably thousands of dollars and many years in skin care over the years to get my skin to look just healthy. It could be that I am growing out of my acne but I know these products certainly have helped my skin. Yes you do have to buy the stuff on tv or via his website. But the products and a good value for your money. They do work. He keeps water, sulphates, and parabens out of his products. I think I am hooked. I have yet to try any other products from the line but will be shortly.

Which in my mind quite frankly is a steal for such high quality products. In this kit the PM Olive and Enzyme Rich Balm Cleansercame in a double 8 ounce size with a pump dispenser. The cleanser is a orange, creamy cleanser. I use 4 to 6 pumps in the evening allover my face and neck and let sit for 1 to 2min before washing it off in the shower. The smell is very nice like an orange creamsicle. It desolves all the oil, dirt, and grime from the day. The cleanser leaves my skin feeling clean and decongested. Over the month that I have used this line I see a great improvement in the clarity of my skin, no new breakouts, my skin feels like it can breathe, and is not dry or irritated at all.

Cleansers -LUSH - 9 to 5
skinguy25 8/29/2010 4:00:00 PM
Finally Lush has come out with a liquid cleanser I can use with my clarisonic. Up until now I have been using Philophy's puirty at night with my clarisonic. And in the morning I alternate between angels on bare skin and dark angels from lush. This cleanser is white, has a very silky soft feel. Spreads nice on my face. I massage for 30 seconds and then use my clarisonic for two minutes. The cleansers rinses very clean. Not much lather, A very nice smell. This cleanser cleans very well and my skin left feeling hydrated but not oily. No break outs or irritation have come from using this. A bigger bottle of this is about $18 in canada which is alot cheaper then my purity made simple. So I beleieve I will continue to use 9 to 5.

Gels/Soaps -LUSH - Happy Hippy
skinguy25 8/29/2010 3:51:00 PM
Shower gel is ok, not as citrusy smelling as I would like. It does lather and clean well. Just the scent is kind of mild for my taste anyway. The price is expensive for a shower gel that to me is just ok. So for that I would not rebuy.

Cleansers -LUSH - Fresh Farmacy
skinguy25 8/29/2010 3:37:00 PM
A fan of lush I am but not of this cleanser. I found this product to make oily/acne prone skin feel dry and chalky. I tried using with my clarisonic, tried using it only with my fingers for a few seconds to a minute. But no matter what my skin would be dry, and chalky. And I was only using this at night and nothing in the morning. Plus having the bar is great for naked packaging however you have to keep out of water to prevent it melting so that is kind of a pain aswell. Would not buy again :(

Cleansers -Philosophy - Purity Made Simple (Real Purity Cleanser)
skinguy25 2/19/2010 10:45:00 AM
As you can tell from my rating I really do LOVE this product. I have been using Purity Made Simple for three months now morning and night. I got this at Sephora in Canada for $26 plus tax for the 8 ounce bottle. Not the cheapest product that's for sure, but the results are worth it and you need so little that it will last a long time. I use about a dime size amount on wet skin for 60 seconds and all the dirt, oil, and impuities comes off my face. At 25 I have oily/combination skin and do break out from time to time. But since using this my face has been so clean that I am not getting much breakouts. Usually a cleanser that I use either makes my skin to dry and flaky (Clinique) or makes my skin to oily and greasy feeling. This cleanser just makes my face feel like clean skin. Not dry, not greasy. It just feels and looks very clean which is what I want from a cleanser. Today I went back to Sephora and repurchased the BIG bottle which was $52 plus tax. But it should last me the year. And spending $52 a year for clean good skin is quite cheap if you ask me. I also grabbed the 8 ounce bottle of the microdelivery facial wash at $33 plus tax that I am going to use in the morning and my puirty made simple at night. I also use hope in a jar in the morning only for a moisturizer. I like the product and the brand philosophy. I think everyone should at least try this one. It seems to work pretty well for me at least :)

Skincare - Face -Clinique - 3 Step System
skinguy25 1/31/2010 11:11:00 PM
What a NIGHTMARE this system is. Anyone who thinks they are doing there skin any bit of good using this system is obviously brain washed by cosmetic giant Clinique. I bought this system for a friend for Xmas who wanted it. In total she received 3 sets of this and ended up giving one to me since my skin is problamatic. I am oily/combination with some acne. So I was using the level 3 program from Clinique. Step 1 is the facial soap for oily skin. This product is in a pump which I like. However the product inside the bottle is horrible. It does not have a smell. But all this product does is strip your skin, dry you skin, and makes you flakey. The ingredients in this product is nothing but sulfates, chemicals, and poor ingredients for your skin. Step 2 is the clarifying lotion. This is nothing but alcohol, one of the worst ingredients ever to put on your face. Over time this ages your face. Do not put this on your face. Basically what this is designed to do is burn off all the flakes that the cleanser has caused on your face. And to boot dry your face out even further. To the point where it feels like course old leather. Just horrible. Lastly Step 3 is the mositurizer gel. Its job is to not mositurize but to put a soft film over your face to cover up the horrible texture your skin is in after step 1 and 2. After one month of use and me getting no where with this brand my friend told me to go to Clinique to have them test my skin type and maybe I was using the wrong kind. But the girl tested me and I am a 3. I told her the effects of drying, peeling, She said this is how the system is supposed to work. I left and came home and through the system out. I am glad this brand finally received a wave of people running out to buy it, finding out how horrible it is. The word is getting around now to not use this system. Plz everyone save your money and try something else!

Conditioner -Ojon - Tawaka Rejuvenating Conditioner [DISCONTINUED]
skinguy25 11/3/2009 1:58:00 AM
I have been using Ojon haircare for the past few years. This is by far my favorite conditioner for my hair that they make. ***Sad but true Ojon is discontinuing this line due to the rare ingredients in this line called Tawaka so those of you who love this product stock up while you still can!!!!*** This conditioner is perfect for me. It is very thick and rich. It makes my hair so hydrated and healthy feeling. If you have the Tawaka cleanser this is a perfect match and would recommend it to anyone. Anyway if you have a chance to grab this before it goes I highly recommend it. I bought two sets of the supersize litre containers of this, each one will last me about two years each. So I have my back ups in store for the next four years. So at that point I will look for a new Ojon conditioner.

Shampoo -Ojon - Tawaka Rejuvenating Shampoo [DISCONTINUED]
skinguy25 11/3/2009 1:43:00 AM
I have been using Ojon haircare for the past few years. This is by far my favorite cleanser for my hair that they make. ***Sad but true Ojon is discontinuing this line due to the rare ingredients in this line called Tawaka so those of you who love this product stock up while you still can!!!!*** This cleanser is very concentrated and you need very little to get a good lather. The smell is the famous Ojon chocolate type smell that I love! It leave little to no resin in your hair and makes it so soft and hydrated. It can be a bit time consuming as you want to massage your scalp and keep the product on for at lease 1 to 2min before rinsing. The ingredients are 98% all natural and makes my hair grow like crazy lol. My hair dresser says its because my scalp and hair are healthy which is why it grows so fast. So I blame Ojon for that :) The price is a bit expensive but the product lasts forever and is so benefitical to your hair and scalp that the price is worth it. If you order from TSC in Canada they give you a 30 day return policy to. So you can try it and send it back if you don't like it. Anyway if you have a chance to grab this before it goes I highly recommend it. I bought two sets of the supersize litre containers of this, each one will last me about two years each. So I have my back ups in store for the next four years. So at that point I will look for a new Ojon cleanser.
