Clinique 3-step.... but it must be preceeded by Rinse off Facial Cleanser, oh yes and then followed by Pore reducing Serum.....

.....really? All those products on my face, in order, on a morning, before I achieve anything else? Is this neccessary and do you do it?
Their facial wash was enough for me until I spoke to the lady on the counter and she almost forced me to spend 17 while offering me a 3-step trial pack.....I think she only offered me the trial because I refused to pay 20 for the bigger "trial" pack and then thought I was going to buy the facial wash.....
DO I really need the whole thing? I didn't think I actually had the time.

I did need Brewbut now I need Wine that's at 7am!!!

someone said 'ten-oh-six'. Instantly transported back to teen years and Jackie magazine!

yes, it is all cobblers. No-one needs it. If people WANT it and can afford it, fine, it is all economic activity.

Philoslothy- can I ask which website you order your serozinc from please?

Clinique 3 step ruined my skin. Used it believing it was good for my problematic skin. Now I've switched to Cetaphil I will never go back. It has reduced a lot of the redness from skin and I only get the odd spot now. I will never have flawless skin but I wish I knew about Cetaphil years ago.

eBay I think.

Oooof I don't know what excites me more......all these mentions of lovely new products to try or the fact that I have been the creator of what has become a 3 page conversation! Usually mine fall flat!

Anyways........if anyone who has not already mentioned the name of their lotions, please do so, I am willing to try anything. I've been using Boots Botanics face wash for years which is lovely as does not dry, but now they have stopped making it, and I also used Nivea daily lotion but it's very greasy....I thought it was my skin but since trying Clinique I realise it's not. I'm not convinced by the Clinique liquid soap but do love their dramatically different moisturiser/gel which I will buy again, but in the week since I began using it I have produced 2 of those painful spots that lie far under the skin.....far enough to think they are not linked but I'm not convinced....................................
...................the search continues...................!

God where to start Grin I'm a beauty junkie. I'll pick one expensive and one cheap!
If I could pick one cleansing balm for the rest of my life it would be balmology (neroli) because it smells amazing and it's great for all skin types. You have to take it off with a hot flannel though, can't rinse it off
Cheaper - RMS coconut cream, same deal with flannel, lasts forever

Toner - I like clarins exfoliating one or bravura for cheapness

Moisturiser - echinacea by amphora aromatics. Seriously it's a fiver and lovely. Or nip + fab radiance wrinkle for more expensive

Basically I loiter on caroline hirons blog and pick things. I know some people don't rate her but she's saved my face

These are the amphora moisturisers
Lovely ingredients for the price

I love Alpha H products for cleansing and Origins for moisturising.

I normally take make up off with Bioderma, then cleanse with Alpha H. Once a week I use the Micro Cleanse Alpha H exfoliator and 3 times a week I use Liquid Gold.

I then use Origins Make a Difference moisturiser for my very dry skin.

If I'm feeling a bit flush, I use Emma Harding cleansing balm instead of Bioderma.

I'd have a look on Beauty Expert and Feel Unique, have a read of reviews etc, take a gander at Caroline Hirons and see what might suit your skin.
