This is definitely one of the most drying acne products I've used. I have some spots on my face that are prone to flaky, peeling skin, and this really worsened that problem - even with moisturizer applied afterwards. I can't say it's effectiveness in fighting acne, because I had to stop using it due to irritation. Perhaps it's not as suitable for adult skin as it is for teenagers'. I now use it for cleaning makeup sponges.

I mix my foundation with moisturizer to make it look more natural. Even in that watered-down state, this stuff covered really well, kept shine under control (with powder applied over it), and looked fresh all day. I'm amazed. I've never tried a foundation I like this much. I love it!

My hair is relatively long, layered, and naturally very straight. I curl the layers with a big curling iron to add volume. This helps me hold my style really well, and my hair doesn't go as flat as I know it always wants to. It's a very good value, too, and it smells fruity. I'll continue to buy this product regularly.

This is the most effective eye makeup remover I've ever tried, and I've used it regularly for years. It takes off the most stubborn waterproof mascara without much effort, and without using a ton of product (a bottle lasts me 5 months with nightly use). Others complain about the "grease factor", but really, I never take off my eye makeup WITHOUT the intent of washing my whole face anyway. So, who cares? This stuff works.

This left my face feeling sticky, in need of a rinse. It also left a shiny finish. I can't say whether it had any effect on my acne, because I didn't want to use it that often. I don't recommend this stuff.

This is the first mineral foundation I've used that actually has a matte finish, not a strange metallic one. The coverage is good and it does last a longer time than most. I have to say the brush it comes with is useless, but I had a nice Bare Minerals brush at home, so I used that. I'd like to add that I have yet to see any benefit to using mineral makeup over traditional, talc-based powders. I've been using only mineral foundations for many months now, and I don't break out any less than I ever did. I sure have been spending a lot more money, though!

To me, "anti-humidity" means "anti-flat", as my fine hair loses all volume when it rains. I guess this only blocks humidity for those with curly/frizzy hair. It instantly straightened and flattened my hair (which I blowdry upside-down and curl daily to encourage volume). It didn't help my hair hold it's shape - it just killed it. I can imagine that someone who straightens her hair would like this product, but it just wasn't for me.

This is my go-to deoderant. It helps with razor irritaion, controls wetness, and smells good.

This is a nice looking, shiny gloss. It lasts about two hours and moisturizes well, albeit with that slight burning that most lip plumpers seem to have. Keep in mind: There's no color, no matter what shade you buy. I use this merely as a topcoat for lipstick. I have not noticed any true plumping effects, nor did I really expect to.

L'Oreal Paris Dermo-Expertise Futur-E Moisturizer + A Daily Dose of Pure Vitamin E SPF 15
Perfect for me
This is a good moisturizer that doesn't bother my sensitive, breakout-prone (yet dry) skin. I don't find it to be too greasy, but it's more moisturizing than most light lotions I've tried. To comment on what a previous reviewer said: I don't know if they've since changed the formula, but I haven't noticed much of a fragrance here at all.
