PradaP, how do you like the Chanel Maximum Radiance Cream? Does it really make the skin noticeable more radiant? how's the texture? and does it moisturize well for dry skin?

I wanna try some cream that would make my skin look radiant with a glow, thinking about this Chanel one or Dior Energy Move. Have you tried the Dior one?

 

[Acid]

cleanser - keihls rose water
moisturiser- keihls spf 25
lip protect- blistex intensive moisture spf6

 

[LilyBird]

***Neutrogena's Dandruff Shampoo

I use it as a face wash because the coal tar in it kills the bacteria on my face and I have not had one breakout since I began using it once a day (in the morning, while I shower). Plus, it you have dermatitis (which many mistake for acne) on your face it will def. get rid of it. Dermatitis is often mistaken for acne or breakouts because they look really similar.

At night I use:

***Basis Soap
***Zia's Herbal Toner & Oil-Free Moisterizer

 

[banana]

Right now I'm using:

AHAVA cleanser
Clinique 7 day scrub
Vichy Thermal S.UV moisturizer for the day

I really like the AHAVA stuff but my aunt bought it for me from the states and I don't know where I can buy it in Canada.

 

[Angelica]

Everyday, 2x a day:
Dermalogica Ultracalming Cleanser Face and Eyes (as cleanser and make-up remover)
Prada Soothing Concentrate Spray
Dermalogica Active Moist
Shiseido, The Skincare, Eye Soother

Instead of makeup/base, a tinted moisturizer w/ SPF 15:
Prada Hydrating Gel Cream

Sunscreen:
Dermalogica Solar Defense System, Ultra Sensitive Faceblock SPF 25

1-2 Times a week:
Dove Facial Care Cleansing Pillows (as an exfoliator)
Neutrogena Treatment Mask
Prada Reviving Mask

I've also been testing a Prada sample I received:
Prada Eye Serum (morning and night)

Occasionally, when I need it or feel like:
Prada Soothing Mask
Kiehl's Cucumber Toner

it's not bad, but you will probably need a separate moisturizer underneath (this is what they recommend) as this isnt all that moisturizing (I wear hydraserum underneath this myself)

it's a very nice gel-cream texture and as far as the radiant effect goes, its nothing instant but over time it does help

i havent tried the Dior one so I am afraid I cant compare

hth!

[Alejandro]

Recently, I have cutted my regime in 1/4 of what I used to put on my face...

Proactiv Solution, religiously
Estee Lauder's Idealist Refinisher
And their Micro D scrub

 

[faust]

Shaving cream and nourishing face cream (instead of after shave), and sometimes hair gel, all by Kiehl's. Oh, yea, I'm a guy, in case some of you haven't noticed yet

what do you think about this ORIGIN`s-exfoliator?i have used it and i didnt like it very much,and it has only few granules which i dont like,by the way my skin is oily(not very)...and at the moment i really like the scrub PureZone- from Loreal which is very fresh and clean.

I love Origins Never A Dull Moment, not too gentle not too harsh, just right, and really brightens up my complexion to some degrees. also I just love the scent

I think I am the only self-proclaimed Beauty Product Junkie who loves Clinique skin care products. While I agree that their makeup is just...ehhhh , my skin has always responded well to their skin care. I use the Rinse-Off Foaming cleanser first, followed by the 3-step system number II. (In the morning I add the Exfoliating Scrub (not the 7-day, which is gentler.) Then I use Total Turnaround Cream as an anti-aging on my whole face, and Anti-Gravity Firming Eye Lift on my eyes (under and on lids). After that I use the Clean & Clear spot treatment (the clear one, with the salicylic acid--not the opaque, which has benzoyl peroxide). Once a week I do a mask--usually be Astara's Blue Flame but I always keep a Queen Helene Mint Julep around in case I've run out.

I think the routine works pretty well, at least for me! I have acne-prone skin, this has kept it clear for a while now. B)
