Skin Care Product Review Round-Up

Cerave AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion, SPF 30

This is the second purchase I've made of it, and I've finished about 75% of it. I use this lotion daily. There are a few negative reviews online from people who have experienced pilling- meaning the product clumps up on their skin and doesn't allow them to blend their makeup in. I find for me, the product only "pills" when I've used too much, specifically in hotter weather. I have combo-oily skin, but get really dry in the winter. This face product is still my holy grail. I love the smell of it, but I do wish it could be even more moisturizing. 

Saturday Skin Featherweight Daily Moisturizing Cream

I bought this cream in the summer, and have been using it consistently. The one I have is in the travel size (I think-30 mL), because I bought it part of a set. However, I am not even close to finishing it. I don't use this cream in the morning, I use it at night because I think it's light but hydrating enough that I can layer it with other products. When I wake up in the morning my skin is definitely glowy and refreshed. At full size it is $49, so I am probably not going to repurchase. 

Physician's Formula Skin Booster Vitamin Shot: Time Restoring

This is part of PF's brand new line of serums. I bought this one because 1.) it was purple/pink and 2.) Time Restoring makes me think of the far more expensive Missha one. But does it do anything? It's a bit hard to say- it hasn't broken me out, though. I have used about 40% of the bottle so far, and I have been layering it with the Moisturizing Cream at night. I do like the results, but I have no idea if I would repurchase.

Neutrogena Anti-Wrinkle Deep Wrinkle Serum

Retional-SA

And here we have the big kahuna. This serum I purchased as an alternative to The Ordinary's Retinoid 2% serum, which used to be my favorite. I have- for a couple of years now- have had pretty deep forehead lines and a cluster of lines above my eyebrow. And within a day I saw results, which I know sounds pretty extreme. But I was shocked. I do want to exercise caution, though. I used a bit of it on my cheeks and a little too much on my forehead the first time I used it, and the next morning I had two small little breakouts in those areas. So I only use a light amount in the target areas, and I have not had any problems since. I really do like this serum and probably would repurchase.
