Best value skin care regime

There are loads of skin care product out there that have formulation as sophisticated & cutting edge as those available in the departmental store or spa/salon.

I had tried & tested a few drug store goodies and will not hesitate to recommend some star products to those who do not believe in spending extra money investing in skin care.

Neutrogena & Olay had out performed the rest in term of product formulation & packaging.

For basic cleansing, i loves Cetaphil,it’s simple, gentle yet effective; i loves the foaming one most, but be warned that these cleansers are not designed for make up removal.

Cetaphil® Daily Facial Cleanser For Normal to Oily Skin is effective for normal, combination or oily skin. Its non-irritating formula is designed to remove surface oils, dirt and makeup without leaving skin feeling tight or overly dry. It is a foaming cleanser that leaves skin with a clean feeling. It doesn’t leave behind irritating residue and is non-comedogenic.

I use Neutrogena Fresh Foaming or Extra Gentle cleanser to remove light make up; For an exhilarating sensation, i will use fresh foaming; For a cushioning & hydrating effect, extra gentle is the choice. Both products are good for removing non waterproof mascara.

Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Cleanser^® is a cleanser and makeup remover in one.

Removing makeup before you go to bed has never been easier. This dermatologist-tested formula effectively removes dirt, oil and makeup. It even removes eye makeup, without soaps or oils that can sting or irritate the sensitive eye area. No more raccoon eyes! It rinses completely and won’t leave any pore-clogging residue.

Forget the excuses and get refreshingly clean skin and complete makeup removal in one step.

 

Neutrogena Extra Gentle Cleanser® provides more than just gentle cleansing for even the most sensitive skin.

This rich, dermatologist-recommended formula adds back moisture every time you use it. Skin is left more moisturized, so it retains resiliency and suppleness. With anti-irritants Chamomile and Vitamin E, its soap-free formula provides gentle yet effective cleansing, and it won’t leave a filmy residue that can clog pores. 

Adds back moisture every time you cleanse for soft, smooth skin.

I am thrilled by the results Neutrogena’s anti wrinkle intensive serum has on my face; it provides a silky smooth , demi-matt finish upon application, delivers powerful skin resurfacing action and antioxidation protection. This is as good as Retin A as far as i am concern ( i use retin A intermittently for a boost of my skin care regime – as it’s the only  scientifically proven anti aging topical medicine )

  

Neutrogena Healthy Skin™ Anti-Wrinkle Intensive Serum is a highly concentrated, intensive treatment that helps fill in and smooth the look of even the deepest wrinkles.Smooth Deep Wrinkles with Retinol SA. The patented Sustained Action formula continuously renews the look of skin throughout the day helping smooth even the deepest wrinkles. This intensive treatment, designed with Anti-Oxidant Multi-Vitamins, absorbs quickly into skin’s surface to visibly fill in and smooth out wrinkles to look less noticeable.  

Even the look of deepest wrinkles starts to fill and skin looks smoother and healthier in as little as 4 weeks.

Olay has came a long way since its pink petrolatum loaded beauty fluid. I loves the Total Effect range, as it contains significant amount of niacinamide  to improve skin tone  & texture.
