Re: Rec your...

  • These days most of them are pretty good. I used Olay products back before I felt I needed something more anti aging and had good results. Revlon is good and so is Olay...Loreal also makes good products...look on the label for key ingredients that relate to what you want the moisturizer to do for you, like firm, lift, anti aging, and keep in mind your skin type oily vs dry...
  • I have combination skin and eczema. I also have terrible, horrible, no good, very bad under eye circles. Any suggestions? =)

  • I have psoriasis, combo skin and am allergic to Aveeno and Neutrogena products, and I use Olay sensitive skin.  It has sunscreen in it, but it doesn't inflame anything.  And its cheap!
  • Currently Olay Regenerist products.  I use their moisturizer with SPF for day and the night cream (it's kind of a purple color).  Both of these work really well for me, but I have mostly dry skin.

    I have also used the regular Olay moisturizer in the white bottle and liked it.

    I'll definitely have to try that! It doesn't take much for products to have that effect on me.

  • I have sensitive acne prone skin and I use plain Cetaphil moisturizer.  I love it.  It isn't too thick or thin and is super cheap.

    Do get an eye cream for under your eyes...don't put your face moisturizer there, it's not ophthalmologist tested and can cause millia or other probems. I recently bought an eye cream for my son, who also had dark circles. It contains vitamin K, which is thought to be good for this condition. I could tell  a difference. I've also had him on All About Eyes from Clinique and a Merle Norman's eye gel and these also helped. If you want to go the drugstore route look there for VK eye cream or you can go look at Sally's....they used to carry this Vitamin K cream. As much experience as I've had with eye creams, I've never found one that completely gets rid of dark circles...some, like the VK, just help to somewhat lighten them.

  • I use Lubriderm Intense Repair (? - whichever has the gold top/spout) and it keeps my eczema and itching from getting out of control.

    As for eye cream, I use BeautiControl Eye X-cell.  Love it!  It really softens and brightens the skin around my eyes.

  • I used to use Aveeno before I switched over to Philosophy.  I liked it - it never felt greasy or heavy.
  • I love Cetaphil!!  It is so gentle that it won't irritate even the most sensitive skin (like mine!).  It is also not super oily....so it does not cause me to break out more!!
