New face wash -- how long do I wait?
I'm trying a new face wash, and I'm wondering how long I use it before either it starts really working, or I give up and move on. I've been using it almost 2 weeks, and my skin is not as clear as it was with the last kind I used.
Do I use it for another week, or find something new?
Re: New face wash -- how long do I wait?
Have you ever switched facial products before? With some rare exceptions, my face gets angry when I switch up and would take quite a while to adjust. I get red & splotchy & breakouts. It even happened when I threw a pre-RB Body Shop at Home party and tried the Body Shop Vitamin E face stuff.
So is this normal for your face if you change up? And why did you stop using your old product?

I haven't changed in a while, but I used to change regularly. I don't remember my skin getting angry, and I wouldn't say this is angry skin, just little breakouts, which annoy me.
I am trying to switch because they stopped carrying my face wash in stores, so I've been ordering it online for a while. I'm kind of over it. And it was starting to dry my skin out a little too much.
I love how everyone's skin is different - So many people swear by it but that St. Ive's scrub used to kill my face! I think I still have half a tub of it hanging around somewhere that I just never chucked.
Ha. If it wasn't so old & half used, I'd offer to send it to you.
I agree, if it's not an actual reaction & just isn't working as well, it's time to try something new.

Well, I guess I should mention that my skin is as normal as it comes- not sensitive, not dry, not oily. I use the sensitive version of the St. Ives so I can use it daily.

I've been using that same combination of Noxzema and St Ives Scrub for over 20 years, but I only use the scrub maybe once or twice a week.
I've tried other things in the past and and nothing seems to work as well, so I go back to the old stand by.
If I do try something new I would only try it for a week or so before moving along.

I spent a lot of years using this stuff and really swore by it:

I never had an issue with it at all except for the price - $32 for 8.3 oz! - but it worked for me, so I sucked up the bill and went with it. Once I did some research I wasn't happy about the sulfates in it either, but if you're going commercial, this is REALLY good stuff. I still have half a container, 'cause y'all know what I use now. I'll refrain from plugging again.
