I really like this line of soaps and moisturizers. They're affordable, come in a wide range of sizes and although Cetaphil does lack diversity in that they are strictly limited to soaps and cleanser, what they do, they do well.

Now when I say affordable I don't feel that I'm throwing the word around loosely at all. In fact I was even able to find a small container of Cetaphil face cleanser for sale online for just $5!

Also Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleansers are billed as being mild, which they are. You see the fact is that your face doesn't need an “industrial strength” cleanser to do the job. Mild will do.

So it's an affordable line with a nice selection of sizes and they all do what they say. Then what about the cons? Well believe it or not, there are a couple of them and they are as follows.

The first con is that the manufactures website describes its products as not stripping your skin of any of its natural oils and moisture. Well this is false! All soaps, no matter how mild, will take at least “some moisture” and natural oils from your skin!

This is why there are emollients included in each type of moisturizing soap that they make. So when your skin feels soft and smooth afterward, it's because of the emollients (moisturizers) that are in the mix.

Lastly, these products have no fragrance. While this might not matter to a lot of people, there are definitely some who do like their face cleanser to have a fragrance. Personally, I think that they could have at least added a mild fragrance.

I have been using this cleanser and the mosturizer for bout 2wks and so far I love it. The mosturizer looks like its greasy but its not and it really has helped with my super dry skin that was flaking. I love how gentle it is and thats the very reason I bought it. I used proactive for only 2 days and I suffered. It burned my skin where it would hurt to touch it and made my acne worse. My skin was so sensitive to the touch but cetaphill didn't hurt it and helped it feel better after 2days.

A few months ago I decided to give this product a try after seeing so many positive reviews. My skin is sensitive, and usually pretty dry in most places, but also very prone to break outs. This cleanser leaves my face feeling moisturized, and has helped keep breakouts to a minimum.
Everyone's skin is different, so what works for me may not work for you- but I would definitely recommend anyone to give this a try!

Let there be no doubt about it but that the Clarisonic Face Brush is a great product, even if it is a bit over priced. Think about it for a moment. You can now buy a good quality DVD player, which is a far more complex piece of electronics, for less than $100.

The irony is that the adds for this product seem to for the most target women removing makeup. Of course this would be a great market niche but for me, I see a lot more people using it.

What about restaurant workers for instance. It seems to me that anyone who works in this type of environment that can wreak havoc one ones complexion could make good use of a deep cleaner machine like this.

What many people don't realize is that standard hand scrubbing can actually force grime and bacteria down into skin pores. On the other hand, the ultra-sonic cleaning action of the Clarisonic Face Brush actually vibrates dirt and contaminants up and out.

So this would definitely be a great tool for the person with a skin condition who wears makeup. It would allow them to wear their makeup during the day and then completely remove it when they get home, before it has time to clog pores.

I can also see this tool being used to clean anything that's delicate, yet needs a thorough cleaning. Watches, jewelry, delicate electronics and machinery and the list just goes on and on in my mind.

You see the brushes don't spin like in a standard mechanical brush cleaner. Rather, they vibrate at a rate of 300 times per second, so you don't have the “abrasive effects” that you tend to get with a standard spinning scrubber.

The benefits of this product can be seen immediately. You will experience softer, smoother skin after the first use and your face will really look and feel squeaky clean. My pimples don't last as long (sometimes disappear in less than 24 hours which never happened before), and my expensive skin care products are more effective. The real reason for the purchase was a bunch of blackheads on my chin and they are diminishing in quantity. Also they are more brown now than black which I could see after using a Biore strip. Hopefully they will eventually disappear. I recommend this product.

This product is one of the best things I've ever bought for myself... It does exactly what it says: cleans your skin better than you ever thought you could, mildly exfoliates, and just makes your skin look fabulous. I can also tell it is softening my fine lines on my forehead (which are just starting). Once you use a clarisonic, you'll never go back to washing your face the regular way. I really like the Pro better than the one my friend bought awhile ago, b/c I changed it to a two minute timer b/c I have very oily skin, and I also like to be able to customize the speed (high after the gym, normal on a regular day). A FANTASTIC buy... a must for anyone who is looking for a boost to their facial skin. Plus, if you buy the spot attachment, you can use it on rough places like your upper chest, elbows, and knees (it has a special speed built in for body areas).

In decades past, people in general really didn't pay much attention to what was contained in skin care products. They simply read what the maker promised and then hoped for the best.

However; in recent years shoppers have become far more savvy and aware. They are now reading the labels carefully and researching what each substance is and does.

As a result, many people and you may be one of them have come to the conclusion that they can simply buy the main active ingredients and do without all the fillers, stabilizers, high prices and hype.

So then what about glycolic acid gel? Time and again you may have seen it listed on ingredient labels and for good reason. It's a very effective exfoliator.

Be aware as you consider using it though, that it is a relatively strong acid. Don't be deluded by the fact that it's derived from sugar cane either because it can leave you scarred for life.

My advise, if you're thinking of experimenting with do it yourself exfoliators, is to look around at some of the various products that come in kit form.

Avon for instance, markets a two part exfoliating system for around $18 that includes an acid neutralizer to “stop the acid reaction” in and on your skin.

Really, it doesn't take a very powerful acid reaction to get the job done on your face and considering that glycolic acid gel is commonly used in heavy industry to strip metals of rust, I personally believe that it's just too dangerous to be used on ones face in a concentrated form.

I never had much luck with the hydroxy acids that were too harsh for my skin (I'm 23), but this glycolic peel was amazing! There was a tingling sensation, but it didn't hurt, and 5 minutes later I rinsed it off and felt immediate results. Even my husband noticed that my skin texture felt softer. The next morning I woke up, and my skin was glowing... the acne scars had started to dissolve away and I literally had new skin. The bottle says that I can use this twice a week, and with such great results from my first use, I will definitely continue.

One of the big secrets to understanding almost any product out there, is to look on the label and see what ingredients are listed first. Now this won't tell you everything you need to know but it will at the very least, tell you what you're mostly paying for.

The one listed first is the number #1 substance in the container and at over $100 per once ounce bottle, one of the first ingredients after water in iS Clinical Active Serum is sugar cane extract. That's a fancy way of saying “molasses”.

Not to worry though because further down is listed bilberry extract because it contains lactic acid. Oh, by the way plain sour milk is full of lactic acid.

Then we come another ingredient listed, which is willow bark extract. It turns out that it contains salicylic acid. If you want to know what salicylic acid is, just go to your bathroom medicine chest.

That's because it's plain aspirin. That's right! You read it correctly. Aspirin is salicylic acid. Then we come to the mushroom extract and the menthol. Mushroom and mint juice and there's really no more listed.

Now my problem isn't that this product isn't just molasses, aspirin and mushroom juice at over $100 per ounce. Hey, if you want to buy it, go right ahead but you can get it all much cheaper at your corner grocery store.

My problem with it is that they're marketing it to acne sufferers, who are all too often young people living in anguish. The people who developed this product must truly be some of the most cynical people alive.

Now there are some other harsher substances listed, such as Glyceryl Polyacrylate and Butylene Glycol but they're all basically preservatives or powerful chemically based moisturizers. Things you really don't want on your skin anyway.

It's not cheap, but it does work. I've been using this serum for about a year now and can attest that it keeps my skin clearer and smoother than anything I've ever used, period. I rarely, if ever, have to use any kind of pimple cream now. Good thing is that a little goes a long way and a bottle can last for a couple of months. Use it after a good cleanser and then follow up with a good moisturizer and you'll be set.

Great serum for acneic skin, not only it fights with zits, but also works for better appearance overall. It burns a bit because has a menthol in it, but I spray my face with spring water and use less serum. Work great under sunscreen and make up.

It was bad enough ten years ago but today it seems as through there are simply too many acne treatments on the market to count. The sad part about it, is that far too many don't even work. They're just slick promotions and glossy packaging, all designed to part desperate people from their money. People who who really need help.

Multi-Stage Topical Treatments

Proactiv is perhaps the most most popular best treatment for acne of this type. No it's not a wonder treatment that relies on some new discovery. Rather it's simply a powerful benzoil peroxide treatment system that's taken a different approach to treating the actual skin of the acne suffer rather then just the acne.

Benzoil Peroxide - The Best Treatment for Acne Available Over the Counter

Yes it works and the catch is that it uses one of the more concentrated benzoil peroxide formulas available, yet it's one of the more gentle of acne treatments. This is a three stage treatment system that attacks acne causing bacteria with the first stage, delivers immediate skin relief with second and all day protection with the third.

Light & Laser Treatments Zap Oil Glands

Several new advanced light and laser therapies for acne are now also delivering results. The benefit of these types of treatments is that they require that no chemicals or drugs be put on your skin or in your mouth. So how do they work? They deliver results by zapping oil glands in the skin and thus lowering sebum production levels.

Acutane for Severe and Cystic Acne

Right now the best treatment for acne that is available by prescription is a drug called Acutane. Never purchase and self prescribe this drug over the Internet because it should only be used under close medical supervision. It's used to treat severe cases only, including cystic acne and can cause birth defects and liver damage.

Tea Tree Oil is Clinically Proven

Natural acne treatments have garnered a lot of attention recently. One of the most effective of these is tea tree oil. The tea tree is native to Australia and is not to be confused with the type of tea that you drink. The oil of the tea tree must be diluted to a 5% solution in plain water, shaken and simply patted on the skin.

Acne is basically a skin disorder than causes skin eruptions in human beings. Mainly, increased production of natural oils and Testosterone in the body is responsible for causing acne. However, irregular living habits, psychological disturbances and stress can also cause acne.

Almonds, Swiss chard, cashews and beets are some of the food items that contain sufficient amount of oxalic acid. So, an individual suffering from acne should increase the consumption of these food items in order to cure acne and an individual not suffering from acne should consume these food items so as to avoid acne.

Garlic
Garlic is very effective in treatment of acne as it destroys the bacteria that are responsible for causing acne. The bacteria breed inside the pores and hence, become a cause of acne. Garlic also increases the immune function of the skin so it’s advisable to increase the amount of garlic in your diet. You can do this by eating cloves or taking garlic capsules.
