Hhhmmm Im interested in the Clarisonic Mia. Until I turned 30 I never had more than a blemish here and there THEN....I got cystic acne. Its bumps under my skin, so not really pimples so to speak but an actual infection of the germ that causes acne internally. UUUGGHHH I was on meds for awhile, but they made me sick, gave me heartburn sooo bad that I ended up having to have ultrasounds done to make sure my organs were ok.
I saw a dermatologist and she currently has me using Olay products, not Oil of Olay, but the oil free line called Olay. I use the cleaning pads and the moisturizer. I was using a cream called differin she gave me that was more of a spot blemish control thing... it worked really really well... but insurance does not cover it and its super expensive. I was using another cream called clindomycin, but since have stopped that also. I'm considering getting a new dermatologist and seeing what they recommend.
I love Clinique mascara and eyeliner but do not use their facial products at all. I like Bare Minerals powder, but I just try to stay away from facial makeup in general, I do not wear any. Not powder, not foundation, not even spot concealer. I just don't want to make my face worse, it seems to get bad enough all on it's own. I love eye shadow and eye makeup... its so fun... cliniques is ok, but honestly it is no better than any of the cheaper store brands like cover girl and others, and its like 3x the price of those! I love clinique eye makeup remover though.
So anyways, Olay for oily skin works well... the daily moisturizer I only use in the mornings and it has SPF 15 in it.
