I love the smell of Skin Caviar products. It instantly calms me and makes me feel rich.

^ thoughts on the MD Skincare peels?

 

[LetThemEatCake]

You know what? I really like them. This is the second time I've used them, (so I still have two more of the samples) I used my La Prairie Glycolic Retexturizing Booster yesterday, and today used the MD Skincare. I think it's what my skin's been needing...what with the weather change here in the US, its getting colder and I have dry skin anyway...I've read that people with dry skin shouldnt use glycolics, but I found it to be the opposite for me...Sometimes, even AFTER exfoliating with a 'scrub-like' exfoliant that you can manipulate and move around on your skin I will look at my skin in the nasal labial creases up to the creases on my nose...(these are the areas I most often get blackheads) and still see a light 'film' of small clear dead skin cells STILL sitting there! And it pisses me off.
It's like, 'I JUST exfoliated and I dont scrub and whats up with this'
So I think a CHEMICAL exfoliant, like glycolic acid, works MUCH better for my skin because I just looked at it again, twice now, and those little buildup of dead skin cells are not anywhere!
So I need to get back to using glycolic acid more on my face.
ETA:Thanks again SO MUCH to you for sending me these, I MUST return the favor one day.

Lush Catastrophe Cosmetic Mask
Paul & Joe Light Cleansing Milk
Shu Uemura Deep Sea Moisture Toner
Laneige Balancing Emulsion EX 2

I'm looking for a very, very moisturizing moisturizer that is long lasting and also feels very rich (rich yet non-greasy, does this even exist?). One of those moisturizers that you can wear to sleep feeling all nice and relaxed Preferably fragrance-free too. Any recommendations?

^Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concentre...it's scented, but I think the scent comes from plant extracts or plant oils... I love it!

Oh thank you! I looked it up and that brand isn't here though Do any sites sell it online? - and say my skin reacts to the product, do they usually allow returns?

 

[michyed]

Sorry for the excessive posts but since I've heard only good things about Dermalogica, has anybody tried the Intensive Moisture Balance? It has great reviews, and it's actually sold for a decent price here so I don't have to wait impatiently for shipping.
If not, has anybody tried Nuxe's Crème Fraiche Light or Clinique's Super Rescue Antioxidant Night Moisturizer? Thanks in advanced! I am dying for a new moisturizer because my skin is becoming painfully dry now that the weather's getting cold...

 

[Belowen]

^ I would suggest Ultraceuticals Ultra Moisturiser cream. It's my favourite rich moisturiser (aside from creme de la mer) and it's fragrance free. It smells faintly like vanilla but that is from the vanilla in the ingredients, lol.

Try Pharmadiscount.com...I bet they don't do returns if you're not happy with the product, that's just not something anyone does in Europe

BTW I think that Nuxe moisturizers are excellent. I had a light peeling moisturizer, Creme Etincelante, and it was soooo good. A bit too expensive for me, Lait Creme-Concentre is so much cheaper (even though Nuxe is super cheap on pharmadiscount.com). And the Creme Fraiche has got excellent reviews in MUA, so that would be a good choice, I think. I read somewhere that Gemma Ward uses it...

 

[michyed]

^Oh yay!! The best thing about it is that it's popular here too. It costs about $40USD, does that differ a lot from the european price?

Oh btw is there any way to change the language on pharmadiscount.com? It's in some... language that I can't even identify

 

[The_Ida]

^It's French, and no there isn't Use Google Translate, it works pretty well for me at least

It's hard to say, the dollar is so low right now...it's about $50 here (250 DKR)

I didn't really use skin care, but I went to the dermatologist for my status appointment. She said my skin was much better, not that it was so bad to start with, but she asked how my electric razor was going and what things do I use, I told her I use shaving cream and to make this story shorter I felt pretty dumb this whole time until today I've been using shaving cream with my electric razor, and what do you know I use no cream today and it worked like it was supposed to.

BTW the reason I used shaving cream with the electric razor was because this gillete commercial showed the guy using shaving cream with his elec razor.
