I like Mario Badescu Collagen Moisturizer SPF 15 to an extent. It is fragrance-free, creamy yet light, and very wet-feeling. Due to this texture, the moisturizer had very smooth spreadability with no dragging. What I did not like is that it added shine to my forehead immediately after application. Fortunately, the shine disappeared when the cream dried. I found that my face, espe...

For years, I was plagued by the effects of eczema - flaky, dry skin, constantly irritated by environment, fabrics, and other allergens.  I tried a few different creams and moisturizers, but most seemed to only encourage the problem.After visiting a dermatologist, I was recommended to Cetaphil's moisturizing cream, and I have not looked back.  Within a few days, I saw noticable cha...

Alberto VO5 Moisture Milks Moisturizing Conditioner also has "Passion Fruit Smoothie" written on the bottle. Who wouldn't want to try a passion fruit smoothie, even if it goes on your hair?? I would, especially after reading that it also promises "2X stronger hair."So I bought my first bottle of this conditioner and tried it the very next time I washed my hair. I liked t...

Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisture is a good, light moisturizer for sensitive and acne-prone skin. Oil-free, fragrance-free, and alcohol-free, it's one of the gentlest products out there.  This water-based formula lightly moisturizes skin without leaving behind a greasy film. It does absorb almost instantly, so it can be difficult to apply. I find it works best on slightly damp skin; ...

This product has done wonders for my skin.  I have fair skin and freckles, so the tinted moisturizer is my best bet for overall coverage.  This product provides light coverage and a warm color, while protecting my skin from the sun with a 15 SPF.  I wear it year round and have much healthier skin because of it.  It only comes in a few shades (Fair to light, Light to medium, ...

I've tried every moisturizer on the market.A dermatologist once told me I had "very odd skin."  I suffer from horrible dryness and flaking, but over the flaking is a thick layer of oil.  So is my skin dry or oily?  It's both.  Plus I have acne.  My face is a mess.I'd just about given up on finding a decent moisturizer for my "odd skin" be...

Laura Mercier is a "fine cosmetics" line, so it is not the first I turn to when looking for a bargain. It is high end, and high priced. But it's also high quality.The Tinted Moisturizer with an SPF of 20 is no exception -- it is one of the best tinted moisturizers I've tried.  It is a great alternative to foundation if you have clear skin and a minimum of wrinkles. T...

I don't like the way most foundations feel on my skin, so I've tried some tinted moisturizers as potential replacements, since my skin is clear and mostly wrinkle-free.  Stila makes two of the better ones, and the Sheer Color is one that I bought for myself last spring.At $30 for a 1.7 ounce tube, it's not exactly a bargain, but I was going for quality.  They have few...

In the hot and dry summers, I usually suffer from dry and chapped lips, and it's become ages until I bumped into the perfect lip balm, each time I apply the Blistex's Complete Moisture balm, I feel re-energized and free of concern.The lip balm is formulated with lots of moisturizing ingredients which penetrate the lips under their upper layer of the lips, and create complete moisture wh...

Avon has always had a great lotion line.  Their Moisture Therapy line is so great. The tag line for it is your prescription for dry skin.  I absolutley agree with that.   I love the Moisture Therapy lotion.  This body lotion is fro extremely dry skin and is very intense.  The 13.5 fluid ounce bottle retails for $7.99 but can often can be found for less when they run a s...

I've always liked products by dove because they usually work well, not saying that this doesn't but it is lacking in a few things. Dove Deep Moisture Beauty Body Wash( Yes it is a long title) is just like any other normal body wash. It serves its purpose to clean your skin, moisturize and make you feel fresh. I had problems with it's cleaning abilities which may lie in its choice of...

After having great success with Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer, I decided to take a gamble and order Mercier’s Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer to give my face a more glamorous presentation.“Illuminating” can mean many things to the dubious cosmetic purchaser, not all of them good.  For example, it might be associated with the “glittery” look for a night out ...

Aveeno's Daily Moisturizing Lotion is the best lotion I have ever used, hands down.  I began using this product over 10 years ago as a teenager.  I had acne, and in addition to the medication my doctor prescribed to treat my skin condition, she also recommended this lotion as a gentle/fragrance free way to keep my skin moisturized.  The acne topical treatment that&n...

Kids Organics is a line of hair products for afro or curly textured children's hair. Our hair is always in need of moisture so I like to products with good ingredients for my children's hair. The Detangling Moisturizing Hair Lotion has Shea Butter and Extra Virgin Olive Oil in it. These ingredients help to moisturize and improve the condition of their hair.It also does not contain Petro...

Unfortunately, I have dry frizzy hair. In addition, I live where the humidity is always present. Dove Moisturizing Shampoo for dry or damaged hair is a wonderful product that helps reduce the frizziest hair. My daughters who do not have frizzy hair also love this product. Since using Dove Moisturizing Shampoo I have found that a less split ends and my hair looks much healthier. It has a wonderf...

I have very dry and frizzy hair but have found some relief from Dove Moisturizing Conditioner. This wonderful conditioner, which I use in conjunction with the shampoo, leaves my hair softer and smoother. Immediately after using I am able to run my fingers through my hair without the hang up of tangles. Dove Moisturizing Conditioner is not a heavy greasy product and the claim of weightless moist...

I have been using Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion for several years. My mother used it and now my daughters use it. I have been very pleased with this lotion. It has remained unchanged over the years, which is a good thing.  It is hypo-allergenic, so no worries there.  It is unscented, which is great.  It is the right consistency - not greasy when applied. Thi...

I am always looking for new skin care products, and enjoy trying new products.  One product that I am particuarly picky about, however, is my facial moisturizer.  I have used Mary Kay moisturizers for the past few years exclusively, but a few weeks ago I was out so I needed to pick up a moisturizer from the store.  I decided on the Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisture for Sensitive Skin....

The Ice Elements normal to dry moisturizer has loads of moisture without being too heavy.As with all Ice Elements products the base is pharmaceutical grade aloe vera and there is no water, which means that the ingredients are concentrated so the standard 1.69 oz jar lasts for quite a while. Mine generally lasts for 6 - 8 weeks, sometimes longer.This moisturizer really leaves my skin feeling dew...

I have a medical condition that leaves me with a very dry mouth.  I've tried mints and gum, but sometimes those things are just not convenient, so my dentist suggested that I try Oasis Dry Mouth Spray by the makers of Sensodyne Toothpaste. The purpose of the product is to help keep dry mouths moisturized longer.  You simply spray it into your mouth a few times, hold it and th...
