Proactiv Refining Mask

Great for Redness

I was blessed with the Rosacea genes from both my parents. On top of the terrible acne my face is ALWAYS red. I got a free bottle of this and figured, what the heck, i'll give it a try. Given, it's a sulfur treatment so it doesn't smell like roses, but it does help acne minimize in size but also helps eliminate redness which is a godsend in my opinion. Great for spot treatments, I leave it on overnight on mean zits.

Proactiv Oil-Free Moisture with Broad Spectrum SPF 15

Very Light

I haven't tried a very wide variety of day-time moisturizers but I have liked this one. I have always had horrible acne and I started the proactive system and it really helped (it isn't completely gone, but then again, nor have I been completely vigilent which is another problem in and of itself). Anyway, I use the BareMinerals makeup over my proactive and I tried using their moisturizer with it and hated it. It made all the makeup clump and look horrid. But this one is great, it is light and non-greasy and any makeup works well over it without clumping and looking weird. It also doesn't make your face look shiney for those days when you don't feel like wearing makeup.

Exuviance Evening Restorative Complex

Creamy Goodness

I have my morning face regimen down but I wanted a night time moisturizer that didn't necessarily have suncreen in it but would help minimize pore size instead. This was recommended to me by one of the ladies at the counter. At first I was a little wary of the price but then I looked around and saw that many other moisturizers were way more money. So I gave it a try. My skin feels softer, happier, and I am starting to notice slightly smaller pore size. A little goes a long way with this product so you are definately getting your moneies worth because it is a pretty big jar.
