Interestingly, I was also using mostly SKII products earlier, but I also thought why keep such "expensive" range...... I later 'trim down' to just using SK Cleanser & Essence, cos they're really good, also cost effective.... Maybe some of you might not agree, but I "mixed products".... I used the Estee lauder "Advance Night Repair" & "Bio-essence" Toner,Eye Essence, face lifting cream - which is relative affordable range & work as well as SK similiar products to me.
A question to both of you (ya1012 and Alaska), I tried to change some of my SKII and I had minor breakouts. It happened a couple of times with different products. SO I am a little scared and discouraged to change and just have to stick to my range of SKII, which is ultra ultra expensive!
What should I do?
Anyway, ya1012 bioessence eye stuff good or not? Thought of trying cos got heavy eyebags because of my sleep-very-little baby.
Alaska, what products you use from Clinique? Suitable for sensitive skin like mine? I'm actually using their anti-blemish gel. So far ok only.
Hey, initially when I started to change to Estee "Advanced Night Repair", I got little "outbreak" too...might be too rich cos the SKII Essence help u to absorpt well..so I stop for a while & reintroduce it again, later it was ok...
The Bio-essence "Eye Essence" is quite good, I've tried the Estee & SK eye range, but for that price vs Bio.... Bio's more cost effective. Actually, I'm most 'diligent" on my eyes, used twice daily, nothing less; so far no eye bags & barely noticeable dark circles.
Cajohoney, u might want to check out this French brand "La Roche-Posay", available at some bigger Guardian pharmacy. A friend of mine said few of the plastic surgeons recommend this cos of it's high tolerance tested under dermatological control. I'm using the "Dermo-cleanser" for make-up removal & the sunblock "50+ SPF". So far quite gentle on skin, thought of switching all to this, since recommended by plastic surgeons. Tried some samples, the SKII cleanser & Essence still "formidable". So I guess, we all have to test & try which is most suitable for yourself...
