skin care product reviews
Maria.
Right now, I'm using St. Ives Naturally Clear Apricot Cleanser and St. Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub. I use Johnson's baby lotion as a face moisturizer. I'm starting to run out of these products and I wanted to try new ones. Could you guys give me reviews on any of the following products if you have used them?
1) St. Ives Fresh Skin Olive Cleanser
2) St. Ives Fresh Skin Moisturizing Olive Scrub
3) St. Ives Naturally Clear Green Tea Cleanser
4) St. Ives Naturally Clear Green Tea Scrub
5) St. Ives Fresh Skin Mineral Moisturizer with SPF 15
6) Aveeno Daily Moisture Lotion SPF 15
7) Aveeno Daily Moisture Lotion
I'm only getting 1 cleanser, 1 scrub, and 1 moisturizer/lotion.
Reccomendations are fine too. Anything but Clean and Clear, Neutrogena, and Proactive. Under $10 each please.

Tretinoin, which is the generic form of Retin-A (acid form of vitamin A). This works wonders for my skin from acne and blemishes to blackheads and wrinkles. generic is much cheaper costs around $2 per tube.
Authentic natural black soap around $3-5
natural Shea butter $5
You can get some of these on Amazon, Ebay, and few other places.

What are your reviews on phytomer skin care products for acne?
Run It Out
Ive tried everything....should I try the phytomer skin care line?
It's about $150.00 for a 2-4 month supply.
I have really bad acne recently and definitely a lot of scarring now.
Thoughts?
Answer
I would not recommend that you use another product. The most common mistake people make is using too many products, which can make the problem worse. To clear up pimples or acne keep your face scrupulously clean - a mild soap and water is all you need unless you have significant outbreaks and then you should use an antibacterial soap. Wash only twice a day. Rinse well. Drink plenty of water. Avoid touching your face if you have not first washed your hands - our hands have TONS of bacteria on them. If you do get a pimple, do not pick at it. Treat it by using a hot wet compress (clean washcloth) two or three times a day. If you want to use a moisturizer, use olive oil. It really does work and is not at all greasy, despite what you might think. Never put anything on your skin that you would not also consider eating, as if it is rubbed into the skin it is also absorbed into the blood stream. If you do these things and you still have uncontrolled outbreaks of pimples, see your doctor, as you may have acne, which usually requires prescription medication.
