Moisturizer Reviews

I just did a body lotion review, so I thought to myself why don't I also blog about moisturizers. Since this is the most important step in our skin care regiment.  I've tried so many moisturizers, but I'm just going to list a few popular ones that many of you may have tried, or wanting to try. 

First off, my skin type is acne prone, combination.  I have dry spots in certain areas, and I get oily throughout the day. 

Olay Complete 

This is one of my favourite drugstore moisturizer.  It has a tiny scent which is pleasant.  It's pretty thick in consistency, which I love because I apply foundation over this.  It hydrates my skin enough in the summer, but it gives me dry spots in the winter.  So I would only stick to this in the summer.  The SPF is low, which I apply extra sunscreen after moisturizing with this product.  I do get oily with this in the summer, but I blot away the shine during midday.

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel

There were SOOOOO many great reviews on this product, so I went to my nearest Clinique counter and bought the three-step skincare system.  I really disliked this.  It was way too light feeling, and my foundation did not sit well on this.  I had dry patches after makeup.  Kind of a waste of money, but I mean everybody's skin type is different. It might work for you but, it really did not work well for me.

Philosophy Hope in a Jar

LOVE THIS!! it has an unpleasant scent..it smells like orange peel..I don't like oranges so that's why I hate the scent. But if you like orange peel smell, you may love this.  One thing to remember is to NOT apply this near your eyes! It stings like a mother flying bird!! My skin absorbs this really well, I only use this at night though.  I've been using this for over three months now, and I do notice my skin turn brighter.  I will continue to purchase this!

Marcelle New Age Precision Day Cream

Sorry I can't find a good picture of this.  But it's in a blue circular jar with a silver lid.  This is what I use in the morning before foundation.  This gives me enough moisture on my face which allows my foundation to look so flawless.  I swear by this product! This is supposedly for firming your skin and reduce wrinkles, but hey who cares, if it works it works! I'm only in my early 20s so I don;t really need any skin firming just yet.  But getting it already is not a bad idea! It would prevent skin aging, in my opinion!

Until next time, thanks for reading!!
