I highly recommend the following for a good complexion.
www.philosophy.com

1. CLEANSE - Philosophy's purity made simple


purity made simple
one-step facial cleanser
purity made simple is a liquid crystal cleansing emulsion that removes makeup, dirt, oil and debris in one step. purity made simple was created because it was our feeling that most cleansers were not getting the skin clean enough. furthermore, we do not believe you need a makeup remover and a toner to complete the cleansing process. purity made simple was formulated to emulsify and dissolve dirt, imbedded debris, and makeup rather than creating a lot of foam without a lot of clean.

you need this product if...
you've tried a lot of cleansers but never found one you loved
you crave deeply cleansed skin
you want a cleanser that will multi-task for you
you wear a lot of makeup
your skin is congested

2. MOISTURIZE - hope in a jar

hope in a jar
world-famous moisturizer
endorsed by celebrities, top dermatologists, plastic surgeons and our beloved customers alike, hope in a jar is a world-renown moisturizer loaded with antioxidants in a unique souffle texture. originally created for the medical market to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, skin discoloration, rough texture and dehydration. hope in a jar dramatically improves skin radiance and gently exfoliates, revealing smoother, healthier looking skin and texture.


you need this product if...

you want to give your skin a drink of water, not a cup of oil
your skin is normal with a traditional t-zone
your skin is sallow and you want it to be more rosy
your skin is sun damaged
you like a moisturizer that is lightweight and non-greasy
you want skin that is makeup optional

You obviously believe in this stuff...can you get this in stores?

obsessed said:

Yes! Sephora carries Philosophy products and select Macy's stores. I order mine directly from their website. They ship fast too!

but is it okay for sensitive skin?

It's perfect for sensitive skin. I have sensitive skin and have tried just about everything. I have psoriasis and acne-prone skin. The moisturizers I used to buy would either make my skin break out or would irritate my skin. Philosophy's hope in a jar works perfectly. No more breakouts or irritated skin. It's a light moisturizer. If you have seriously / abnormally dry skin I wouldn't recommend it.

A question about these products, are they organic?

I have a facial regiment that I'm quite satisfied with,
but sometimes for a change/variety I like to try something else.

There's a Macy's near me, and I have a feeling that's where I've
seen it before...I'll order things online if I have no other choice,
but I prefer just purchasing it directly from a store.

wildgoldenhoney said:

no, they are NOT organic.

can you only buy them on the internet or in a regular store?

ZombieKitten said:

Goes ta show how much you read!

Look above your head!

obsessed said:

too bad we don't have a Macy's here or whatever

ZombieKitten said:

No, you probably don't...it's a U.S. store

obsessed said:

so I guess the answer is NO

ZombieKitten said:

That would b the answer

obsessed said:

even though I asked the same question, I got a different answer!

Anything that says it's for all skin types is lying. Just doesn't work like that. The only things that work for me is

and


Oil free stuff is the only way my face likes it.

Teacher said:

I had a friend trying to sell me some stuff, turns out you could not only wash your face in it, but clean the floor with it too!

basically it was just detergent I guess

ZombieKitten said:

LMAO!!! You CAN wash your face with it but five mins later you look 120 years old.

Teacher said:

she also tried to show me Ron L Hubbard books and discs that wash your clothes

ZombieKitten said:

Ah... I see.

ZombieKitten said:

Sometimes you confuse me

I use Neutrogena Extra Gentle skin cleanser.

It works well for me. I have sensitive skin. Harsh chemicals or perfumes irritate my skin.

I have realized that moisturizer with sunscreen makes my skin too oily and causes irritation. I know I need sunscreen, but I want nice skin.

hokie said:

I totally break out all over the place from most sunscreens

I currently am using Aveeno Ultra Calming Cleanser,and Positively Radiant Moisterizer,but I really want to get more of the Ahava.

Thanks, I was just wondering.
