I have learned from experience that my sensitive skin does not tolerate L-AA Vit C well. However, this serum uses the much milder MAP version, and my skin loves it. It is slightly moisturizing - not immediately, but about 20 minutes after applied. I have an inner glow with regular use. I can definitely tell a difference in my skin. Vitamin C has been shown to provide multiple anti-aging …Read more
First, some background: My skin is sensitive, clog prone, and dry/combo. Most aox serums either irritate my skin or cause clogged pores. I was using Replenix Power of 3 Serum for a while, but it seemed to dry me out (plus it was $54/oz!) so I ventured out for a substitute. I had tried PC's other aox serums in the past, but they were so full of silicones that they clogged my pores. So …Read more
This eye shadow is FABULOUS!!! I have oily lids, but this formula stays on all day with great color payoff, which is a miracle for me. I love it so much I keep buying more colors. So far I have Bronzed Taupe, Amber Rush, Liquid Diamond, Eternal Sunshine & Golden Sage.

I have clog-prone, sensitive skin that is on the dry side. Because I am over 40 and have dry skin, most powders look cakey or accentuate my wrinkles and pores. I had been using Alima for several years when I determined it was too cakey for me. I loved the short ingredients list, so I did a search for the same ingredients, and that was when I discovered Merle Norman. This has the same four …Read more
This is 10% glycolic in a moisturizing base and it has become my favorite.
I did a split face test using this on one side and Alpha Hydrox Enhanced Cream on the other. After a week of applying every other night, the Acne.org side was noticeably clearer. I also notices that upon application, they both stung initially, but the acne.org side calmed quickly (within 5 seconds or so) …Read more
I've been using Replenix Power of 3 serum for a month now and am happy to report it is a WIN. Finally! This is after trying both Replenix Cream and Serum, which both clogged or irritated my skin.
The Power of Three is very calming to my sensitive, clog prone face. In fact, when doing a half face test I noticed immediate calming/less redness on the Pof3 side. It sinks in …Read more
I wanted this to work SO badly :( My usual go to is Alima Pure mmu, but combination of winter + retin a means my skin is extremely dry, so I'm on the quest for a liquid foundation. The reviews prompted me to choose this one first. I got a sample from Sephora. Day 1: Loved the glowy look I got and kept throughout the day. I'm in my 40's, so my skin can tend to look dull and …Read more
I've used this for over a year now. I sometimes stray but always return to it. My skin is combo/dry, sensitive from retin-a, and highly clog prone. This is the ONLY moisturizer of the many I've tried that does not clog my skin. It provides nice hydration that has a matte finish which makes it great under makeup. My skin feels calm, cool, and happy when I apply it. I would …Read more
