Kiehl's Olive Fruit Oil Deeply Repairative Hair Pak

Perfect for fine hair

I have thick, but fine color-treated hair and this works better for me than any other deep conditioner. It only takes a quarter-sized dollop of this conditioner to leave my long hair soft and healthy looking. I love that it doesn't weigh my hair down or leave it frizzy, just shiny and full of volume. It's a little pricey, and that's why I took one star off. However, because it doesn't take much, a tub should last quite awhile.

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Correct & Perfect Spot Treatment

Fast action for acne

I have adult acne and have had limited success with everything I've tried before this. Either it over-dries my skin or leaves scabs and subsequent scaring. The spot treatment is designed for "bumpy" acne, the kind that is inflamed due to infection under the skin. I had no less than a dozen pimples in various stages when I tried this. The next morning, all redness was gone and I experienced only superficial peeling of a very thin layer of skin that was taken care of simply by washing my face. This treatment quickly draws the impurities out of the pore, allowing the skin to heal rapidly. After using this for three days, all emerging acne is gone and the blemishes that were taking weeks to heal look much better. There is a mild sulfur smell to the product, which I would rather have than skin-irritating fragrances. And on my skin, it leaves a bit of a chalkiness, so I prefer to use it at night. The only other thing that kept this from getting a 10/10 is the price. However, for results like this, I will gladly pay $28 every several months.
