Oooooooooooo, I love skin care
. I think some of the keys to a good skin care regimen is a good (genuine) retinol product at night (like Retin-A Micro or Green Cream), a C-E serum (like Skinceuticals
CE Ferulic or similar in the morning, a sunscreen in the morning, and right now I'm liking a moisturizer at night that contains niacinamide (like Regenerist or ProX).
And, I've always been super picky about facial cleansers, but this last year I discovered one that is not only non-soap, but also free of SLS, and it's just amazing....it's meant for people w/ eczema and sensitive skins (neither of which I have) but WOW -- my face has never felt cleaner...I just love it:
Exederm.
But then...I finally broke down last fall and tried the Clarisonic Mia. I was so irritated when I saw this product on the market...I was all
COME ON, seriously? Are you kidding me? But I kept seeing all these crazy-positive user reviews. I finally saw it on sale, and it was returnable, so more out of curiosity at the blazing reviews - I had to try it. And within the first few days, fine, it was indeed a wow. Amazingly clean skin, smaller pores (seriously), better absorption of products, and my skin was just glowing. Oh, and also -- my makeup (I use Aveda dual-powder) went on soooo different, easier, looked so much better. It's pricey little number, no doubt, and I was *sure* I'd be returning it - but now? NO WAY. It's
incredible!
I'll have to check out/look up the Dermajuv...do they say what they claim their key ingredients are, btw? One thing I look for in "aging" products too, is that the products/ingredients are backed by published studies, which always helps make me feel better when/if they're pricey

How fun that you found something that's working, I just love finding great products
