1. Clearasil StayClear Daily Pore Cleansing Pads - Cleans pores, prevent dirt build up. Minimizes the size of pores. Exfoliates the skin. Prevents acne. 2. Neutrogena Make-Up Remover Cleansing Towelettes Refills- soothing, cleans my face without drying up my skin like other products. Leaves skin soft and smells good  3. Secret Scent Expression Cherry Mischief - I love thiss product. Doesnt make the armpit irritating/wet like other gel deodrants. Dries and makes on feels like you're wearing nothing. Smells soo good, and very neat. No white residue. 4. Nourishing coconut milk products - works fabulously leaves hair very soft, straightens elasticity of hair. contains whipped eggs and coconut oil, good substances the hair needs These are my opinions |

Clearasil has done nothing in my life.
@Mad Max
Kiehl, well i didnt know about the price cause my sister got them
and i only just started using it a while ago.
I usually don't put creams on my face but Kiehl is not heavy,
its easily absorbed, and it gives your face this dewy look.
I have combination skin on my face so it really works well for the dry parts.

I ordered Urban Decay eyeliner in Oil Slick. Someone wouldn't shut up about it. Hope it's not one of those glittery, rock groupie looks.I also added Cherry Too-Face in Ooh and Aah. I'm going to try the Nourishing Coconut Milk hair product. It sounds great.

Product: Nivea Soft Moisturizing Creme Pros: aaahh. . . very soft and moisturizing. contains a jojoba oil. a very very moisturizing good oil. not oily on skin. no break outs. smells really nice. not too thick and heavy.leaves your skin. . . body or face feeling/smelling afresh. I love it. very good priced and mostly available at any drugstores or other stores. i mainly use it sometimes as a night cream or a day cream when i am not going out in the sun. the smell calms me. and a little goes all the way. no need to lather too much. Cons: No SPF. so if you must use it as your daily facial cream, i do suggest you wear it a sunscreen.
Recommendation: Yes i do recommend it. a very good creme. not too heavy on skin or extra thick. and it moisturizes very well

Clearasil has done nothing in my life.
Nothing at all. Infact there's nothing that has worked for me. @topic It's good to spend well on the right products. Recently I was trying to be money conscious, so I bought one $2 or so lotion, two weeks later come and see pimples on my face. My sister has been pursuing me to burst them. I had to switch back to Jergens. |

reviews
i have aways used cinique products and they work awesome for me
my husband even uses it with me

i do not use the clarifying toner any more cause the alcohol chokes me 3 stars
make up remover/cleanser question
now we all know clinique is pricey
i use makeup so i hate using the cleanser coz i have to use so much to rinse out the makeup which is a waste!
can anyone recommend a good cleanser for me pref frag free and wont over dry the skin
i need one that i can use everyday and readily available most of the ones i researched have sodium laureth sulfate like cetaphil and the likes pls advise
reviewed product
2nd someone rec the olay regenerist what exactly does it do?
my only beef with clinique gel/lotion is no spf
pls someone rec a great face cream with spf i hate using face cream then suncreen
u know how this sunscreens give you a whitish appearance?i currently use neutrogena and la roche posay with meroxyl
advise
next i just had a baby so i stopped using makari
i have hyper pigmentation now
i had used makari and it worked awesome but i realised its like a drug you need to continue using it
can any one recomend a good lightener just for the darker spots on my face and tummy
i intend to stop using it in less than 3mos once ive achieved my color back
stretch marks
luckily didnt have much stretch marks on my belly but i didnt apply shea butter on my sides

I don't use a lot of makeup; just translucent powder, the occasional NARS bronzing powder, eyeliner and lip gloss. Those I get off with any cold cream, so I don't know much about removers. Doesn't Clinique have a clarifying lotion that might work for hyperpigmentation? Products for hyperpigmentation and scars were reviewed in the previous page. I had surgical scars and reviewed what worked for me. It might work for stretch marks too. Or you might try "Professional Strength Formula Stretch Mark Cream for Stretch Marks and Scars " instead of Mederma.Products for hyperpigmentation contains ingredients that stop melanin production; the unsafe one's hydroquinone. What's your skin type and what ingredient might work for your skin?
A great face cream with SPF. I'm sure they're out there, but I can only recommend what I've used. Besides the face cream SPF is always low, 10 0r 15, and doesn't give your face the needed protection from the sun.The Sun accelerates skin aging by almost 90%. I learnt the effects don't show for a number of years. Skin cells have 'light memory'. They store up the sunlight received over years of sun exposure. And then it comes out all at once; you wake up one day and it's like you've aged several years overnight and you wonder what happened! I advise you keep using a face cream AND sunscreen, the higher the SPF the better.

Funny, Clearasil is not perfect but it does ok for me.Clearasil Stayclear® Skin Perfecting Wash
It has a microbead formula that gently exfoliates and removes dirt and oil from the skin whilst moisturising.
It doesn't foam though so if you're one of those that get satisfaction from seeing your face wash foam up, you're in for a disappointment.

Clearasil Stayclear® Biactol Daily Gel Wash
Now, this one foams. Does basically the same as the one up but it doesn't exfoliate.
Mine is green though.

thanks spikedcylinder for the advise
i guess theres no perfect product out there
cetaphil is highly rated in doing its job and affordability so
ill do a little research on this and give a f/back if i get it
thanks again

thanks for the reply
its just that hard as it seems i like to keep my regimen simple
since age is no longer on my side and preg wahala i doubt if i can do that anymore
thanks for the suggestions tho
i realy dont bother with other products by clinique coz i dont believe their product esp the ones for hyperpigmentation is designed for black skin u gt my drift so i dont even bother
am not about to throw some major kish down the drain!
my kin type is combination skin and pretty much anything i use on it works and works fast
i have realy easy skin and hair
what moisturizer do you use?
i find the amazing ones leave this whitish appearance on my face
obviously made with "oyinbo" in mind
thanks for your help jere

Have you tried Clinique’s Clarifying lotion? Never used it, but someone recommended it, that it’s as good as Makari.
Scar removal has been treated in the previous page. Use do it yourself micro-dermabrasion plus MEDERMA or Professional Strength Stretch Mark Remover. It gets rid of scars GUARANTEED. Didn’t use a stretch mark remover, but since it’s a scar too the process WILL remove it.
As for hyperpigmentation, I used Meladerm and it worked after four weeks. But there is something else that every woman MUST add to their regime
GLYCOLIC ACID 35% PROFESSIONAL PEEL
LACTIC ACID 70% PROFESSIONAL PEEL
Just apply as directed in the leaflet once a week with a cotton pad to your face and say a permanent goodbye to hyperpigmentation, black spots, skin break outs, skin dullness due to sebum accumulation, and other skin problems. I use the ones by SKIN LABORATORY, and I apply it to the face, bosom and bum. After six applications you will LOVE your skin. Don’t be scared by the ‘acid’ you see. Glycolic acid is gotten from sugarcane. Lactic acid is from sour milk. They’re excellent.

Neurogena products are amazing. No frills, excellent value for money.And always pocket friendly. Bet there are similar products three times the price and not as good. First time I'll hear of this Visibly Even brand. Could've saved me tons of cash if I'd seen this montha ago. I checked it out at Amazon. None with this same packaging. None says retinol; just Essential Soy and pure vitamin c. There's some with spf 30. I just hope it's the same product as I just might switch to this.

@Madmax, Its actually not the same wit the one i posted there! i ve also used the visibly even with soy & vit c when i cldnt find the one i posted there as its kinda scarce, you cant even find it on the neutrogena website but u can get it on ebay i think! i will say though that the neutrogena visibly even with soy & vit c gives makes your facial skin very smooth but its nothing compared to the impressive results u get with the visibly even with retinol & vit c, u just glow!

is it the one in the blue pack? i think they just changed the name to age intensives ive been investigating neutrogena since u guys recommended it the one with retinol is so scarce i hope the ones on ebay are legit o saw one dat retails for $20 going for $14 |

yes, its the one in the blue pack though i dont think its been changed but yes it is extremely scarce, had to wait for abt 4mths before getting it here in naija, at a point i even tried to order it on ebay but cldnt but i think u shld be able to order it, its actually not so expensive but its sold for N3500 here

Its so funny how products work differently for people.
Neutrogena is horrible for me. Gives me blotches, makes me darker and makes me sweat unnecessarily. I stopped using it almost 5 years ago.

Why isn't Visibly Even on amazon like every other normal cream na?Not even on the Neutrogena website? I've got my eye on it to squeeze between Philosophy and Olay Regenerist.
Spikie yours is the first negative words I've heard about Neutrogena products. Only the sun and heat darkens the skin,as you very well know. Along with Jergens, they consistently give value for money and don't do the monkey business other cosmetic companies engage in.They have dozens of products for different skin types; I hope you didn't choose something unsuitable for your skin.
Tpia what does oatmeal and dudu osun do na?I tried a Dove Richly Nourishing Body Beauty Moisturiser and it moisturised my skin WONDERFULLY.But no space to squeeze it in.
