Olay Clarify and Cleanse Foaming Cleanser

Better than ProActiv

I love this product; it works on my pre-period breakouts and if I use it religiously both morning and night, it keeps my skin blemish free. the only downside is it is harder to find than their other facial washers--not all department stores carry it.

Olay Total Effects Nourishing Cream Cleanser

best if you have dry skin

Doesn't work to well for me--it feels very oily and has actually led to a few breakouts for me when I didn't follow it with an astringent.

Proactiv Repairing Treatment

don't buy the hype

I tried the introductory package, and used it for a month and it made no difference in my acne. However, it did cause my sensitive skin to get very dry and tight across my cheeks; not a pretty combination, flaky skin with blemishes.

Burt's Bees Citrus & Ginger Root Body Wash

not so hot

I have sensitive skin, and this made my skin feel too dry and tight. Also, for me, the scent was a little strong.

Jergens Natural Glow Revitalizing Daily Moisturizer

not too shabby

I use the "fair" level tanner, and it has produced a mild tan effect. I think it works well to take care of the scarey winter-white skin until the sun can give me a little real color. The only warnings are the same as with any tanner--wash your hands after, and don't use it if you have any cuts or scrapes (they will absorb more color and show up worse than before).
