See larger image ROC Multi-Correxion Skin Perfecting System (Health and Beauty) List Price: $49.99 USD New From: $42.89 In Stock

There are currently a total of seven products in the RoC Retinol Correction lineup. In simple terms, retinol is a fat soluble animal form of vitamin A that is classified as a diterpenoid. Retinol is in fact one of the most usable forms of this vitamin.

Why a Topical Application of Retinol?

So then why not just take a vitamin A supplement? The answer to that is you can but you can never take enough to deliver to your skin the constant higher concentrations that a topical product can. You see vitamin A when taken orally is toxic in high dosages.

All RoC Retinol Correction Products Have it

All the products in the RoC Retinol Correction line contain this vitamin that's so important to healthy skin, along with a special mineral complex consisting of magnesium, zinc and copper. A specialized scientific formula that was developed after years if research in RoC laboratories.

RoC Retinol Correction Deep Wrinkle Daily Moisturizer SPF 30

A quick check of this product on Amazon.com shows it garnering consistent five out of possible five star user reviews. An unusually high rating. What this means, is that the vast majority of people who have used it, have received positive results.

It's touted as being able to visibly reduce expression lines around the mouth and eyes, as well as deeper wrinkles on the face neck and hands. At the same time, its combination of vitamin E and UVA sunscreens protect your skin form further photo-damage.

RoC Retinol Correction Eye Cream

This product receives 4-5 stars on Amazon. The better creams produced for the treatment of the delicate skin composing the orbital regions of the eyes, function to thicken the dermal-epidermal junction. This is a thin area of connective tissue thats located between the dermal and epidermal skin layers.

This product is formulated to deliver actual visible results in the way of diminished crows feet and deflated bags in 12 weeks and at the same time, it's mild enough to minimize the chance of eye irritation. It too contains retinol, a special blend of vital nutrients and clinically proven emollients.

RoC Retinol Correction Deep Wrinkle Serum

This powerful and clinically proven serum delivers concentrated retinol and a host of other vital skin nutrients deep into discreet problem areas. This is a 24 hour product that can be applied under makeup or used just prior to going to bed for night time therapy.

This is a light & silky fluid that glides on and spreads well, so just a dab goes a long way towards shorter and shallower wrinkles on the face neck and hands. Also just like the other products in the Retinol Correction lineup, it also contains a special formulation of vital minerals and nutrients.

RoC Retinol Correction Deep Wrinkle Filler

This unique product was designed for the individual who simply doesn't want to wait weeks for cumulative effect to appear. It delivers same day results and if that sounds too good to be true, it also receives a consistent five star rating on Amazon. Your not the only doubter to have been convinced that it works.

It contains what is described as a “breakthrough formula” composed of a chemically engineered fusion of fluid grabbing hyaluronic acid and pure retinol. The hyaluronic acid works to hydrate and immediately plump up skin, while the retinol functions to provide a cumulative long term solution to even the deepest and most difficult to address wrinkles.

RoC Daily Resurfacing Discs

There are a lot of convenient and compact pad and cloth products on the market but these are the only ones that you will find that are textured on one side and smooth on the other. Then combine that with the fact that they're infused with gentle cleaners and powerful clinically proven emollients and you have a one of a kind product, like no other.

At less than $10 a pack too, it makes them so easy and affordable to try and see for yourself why they garner a consistent five star user review rating on Amazon.com. They're just so handy for quick touch-ups and doing fast and convenient lipstick and makeup repairs, no matter where you are.

RoC Retinol Correction Pore Minimizing Cleanser

Once enlarged pore openings make their appearance, they can be notoriously stubborn to shrink back. Scrub away with a standard cleanser all you want but in fact that in most cases only makes the problem worse. It tends to stretch and dry out pore openings even more.

RoC Correction Pore Minimizing Cleaner uses an exclusive beta and hydroxy formula, combined with micro scrubbing beads to gently dissolve and lift away dead skin cells surrounding enlarged pore openings. The result is increased elasticity in pores that are scoured clean and ready to contact back to their original size.

RoC Retinol Correction Deep Wrinkle Night Cream

Night time is the most optimal time for skin therapy. The skin and its connective tissues are relaxed and the micro-vascular system is dilated to facilitate the delivery of vital nutrients. If you're going to do do daytime therapy, it just makes too much sense to also carry over your treatment regimen into the other half of your day.

This specially formulated night cream is formulated to assist in the skins natural restorative processes for maximum results. Not only does it deliver long term cumulative results but on the short term it helps you to wake up looking far more refreshed, with diminished dark areas and tighter skin in the orbital regions of the eyes.

• Do they really work?

• If so, how long do they take?

• Can they grow more actual hairs?

• What about Side Effects?

No doubt but by now you've caught wind of some of the big buzz that's going on right now that's being created by eyelash growth products for sale on the Internet. Liquids in mascara type containers that are touted as being able to grow you fuller, longer lashes.

Do They Really Work?

Are Eyelash Growth Products Just All Hype?

So then what's the real story behind it all? Is this just one more “boom-to-bust” wave of hype that ends up leading all who follow it down a disappointing dead end? Or is it actually a story with merit? After all, hair growth products for balding men are old news.

Some Do Work Better Than Others

The simple answer, is yes there are viable products available that can deliver actual results, but just as in so many other cases of new developments of this type, some products work better than others and then again the worst of them are a total scam.

What These Products Can't Do

Now before I get into how you can separate the good from the bad, with regards to the eyelash growth products that are out there, I want to make one thing perfectly clear. That is that no product on the market can force your skin to create new hair follicles.

Don't Believe Everything You Read or Hear

What this means is that you're basically stuck with a set number of hairs on your body and that includes your lashes. This means that any promotional media or literature that alleges that anything can in any way get “more actual hair” to grow is false.

You Never Actually Lose Your Hair

You see your problem, if you're hair has thinned back in any way and that includes your lashes, isn't that it has gone away completely. Rather, what's happened is that it has receded back to a type of “fuzz”. The hair and follicle is still there. You just cant see it. That's all.

Before and After Photos

So eyelash growth products that work, function by stimulating any dormant follicles to “perk up” and get back in the game of producing long thick healthy hair. At the same time, they work to help those follicles that are functional to function even better.

Growing Any Hair Does Take Time

You're going to need a lot of patience though because like it or not, hair takes time to grow. This means that once you get your hands on a product that works, it will be at least a few months before you really start to see “full results”. You just have to wait for the hair to grow out.

Just One More Amazing Accidental Discovery

Would you believe that it was people with glaucoma who first began to notice that the eye drops that were prescribed to them were having an effect on their eyelashes? Well it's true and this is why the best eyelash growth products contain prostaglandin. It's the same active ingredient that's contained in glaucoma drops.

Over-Use of Growth Products Does More Harm than Good

Do be aware though that overuse can lead to real problems with your eyes. There's a whole list of side effects that can come from eyelash growth products but as long as you follow the directions and apply the product carefully, you should have no problem. Remember that overdoing it helps “not one bit”.

Revaleskin is a relative newcomer to the skin care game. It made its debut back in 2007, with a very small product line that makes heavy use of the coffee berry. Now understand that this doesn't include the coffee bean, which is on the inside of the berry. It's the extract of outer hull that's processed and used by Revaleskin.

As it turns out, the coffee berry and that even includes the inner bean to some extent, possess powerful antioxidant properties. Antioxidants function by neutralizing free radicals before they have a chance to damage skin cells. Free radicals oxidize cells, just the way that oxygen oxidizes the paint on a car and leaves it looking dull.

Now the real benefit of topical antioxidants, is they bring the treatment directly to the problem. Your skin. You see you can always take oral antioxidants but the problem is that your body doesn't store them. Also after traveling through your bloodstream, there really isn't much left by the time they make it to your skin.

Now a lot of hype is going on regarding the potency of coffee berry extract in Revaleskin products. Yes it's true that coffee berry is a special substance in this respect but then again its not as if people have to climb into crocodile infested swamps to gather them.

In fact coffee plantations used to throw the coffee berry husk out and in fact some still do. The point I'm trying to make here, is that you really shouldn't be bowled over by so much of the hype that holds these products up as though they contain some rare elixir.

So in light of the fact that Revaleskin products contain what used to be, for all intents and purposes leftover agricultural waste in many coffee producing regions, it's not hard to see the validity of the claims that some people are making that these products are a bit over-priced.

At the same time though, skin care products in general, particularly those that are proven to work, tend to be a bit pricy. In fact you don't have to look far online to find comparable skin care products featuring price tags that are easily double what you'll pay for Revaleskin.

At the same time, a quick check of Amazon.com shows all of the products in their lineup sporting pretty much consistent 4-5 star consumer user review ratings. What this means, is that the people out there who have purchased their products, tended to be very happy with them.

Revaleskin Replenishing Eye Therapy

I normally don't like to include ingredient lists in my skin therapy product profiles because for the most part, they only tend to confuse people. However; in this case I'll make an exception solely for the purpose of letting you know that there is more than coffee berry extract in this product that lists for $90 on the companies website.

In fact I was surprised to see that there are in fact several commonly used emollients listed prior to the coffee extract, which means that there is a greater percentage of these substances than the extract. By the way, this Reveleskin eye treatment product contains 1% coffee extract and weighs in at just over a half an ounce. .51 oz.

Purified Water, Saccharomyces Fermant, Glycereth-26, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Pentylene Glycol, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Glycerin, Cyclopentasiloxane, Coffea Arabica Fruit Extract, Caffeine, Sodium PCA, Phenoxyethanol, Steareth-2, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Mica, Silica, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Isohexadecane, Algae Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Extract, Anthemis Nobills Flower Extract, Disodium EDTA, PEG-8, Xanthan Gum, Ethylhexylglycerin, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Steareth-20, Cyclohexasiloxane, Pullulen, Polysorbate 60, Polyphosphorylcholine Glycol Acrylate, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, N-Hydroxysuccinimide, Phospholipids, Glycol Acrylate, Aplmitoyl Tripeptide-5, N-Hydroxysuccinimide, Phospholipids, Glycosphingolipids, Cholesterol, Chrysin, Palmitoyl, Oligopeptide and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7.

Revaleskin Daily Cleanser

This product lists for $40 on the companies main website and it also weighs in at 6 ounces. Now I was surprised that they have no other size option because after all it is a daily cleanser. What about a travel size? Or just maybe a more economical larger bottle, like so many other companies are doing?

Now I looked and looked but I couldn't find any information regarding the actual percentage of coffee extract that's contained in this cleanser. Even so, it's positioned in about the same area on the ingredients list, so I assume that it's 1%. Just like the eye therapy. Now if $40 for 6 oz sounds expensive, know that it comes with a full 60 day satisfaction guarantee, which is nice of them.

Revaleskin Day Cream SPF 15

It seems to me that just about every skin therapy company out there now has at least one version of this type of under makeup daily therapy/sunblock cream or lotion. So in my opinion, the list price of $110 for 1.6 ounces of this product is a bit steep. At least that was the price on the companies main site.

I also didn't like the way that they played with words when they stated that it's “loaded” with coffee extract. Yet just one paragraph down it lists it as containing 1%. Hardly loaded! To top it off, there's no 60 day money back satisfaction guarantee with this product either. I really do think that they can find a way to offer a little more than 1.6 oz for the price.

Anyway enough of my griping. On a more positive note: Revaleskin really does appear to have the market cornered on coffee extract products. At least for the time being and you just can't go wrong with an antioxidant/sunblock if you're out in the sun during the day. Apply a thin layer before putting on your makeup in the morning.

Revaleskin Night Cream


It just seems that the further you go down the page, the higher the prices get. The way I figure it, at $120 for 1.7 ounces, this stuff either “really works” or its all smoke an mirrors. But then again Revaleskin products have been getting consistant 4-5 star user reviews on Amazon.com, so perhaps there is something to it.

Even so, just like the Replenishing Eye Therapy, I went ahead and included the ingredients list for this product so you can see that there is a lot more in it than just the 1% coffee berry extract in it. Apply just a thin layer around the orbital regions of your eyes before you head off to bed.

Water, Glycerin, C12-15, Alkyl Benzoate, Cyclopentasiloxane and Cyclohexasiloxane, Cetyl Ricinoleate, Cetearyl Alcohol and Cetearyl Glucoside, Pentylene Glycol, Hydrogenated Polydecene, Coffea Arabica (Coffee) Seed Extract, Dimethicone, Ceresin, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Sodium PCA, Urea, Trehalose, Sodium Hyaluronate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Glycosphingolipids, Phospholipids, Cholesterol, Panthenol, Polyisobutene, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Fruit Extract, Silica, Alumina, Steareth-2, Triethanolamine, Polyacrylate-13, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Xanthum Gum, Polysorbate 20, Polyquaternium-51, Disodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Titanium Dioxide (Cl 77891), Blue 1 (Cl 42090), Green 3 (Cl 42053), Yellow 5 (Cl 19140).

Revaleskin Intensive Recovery Treatment

Now if it turns out that you're another one of Amazons 4-5 star satisfied users, you can kick it up a notch with this product that boasts a full 1.5% coffee berry extract. Of course the prices get only higher as you work your way down the page, so a one ounce container of it sells for $130 on the companies main site.

Oh and you thought I was going to end on a posetive note? Guess again! My final gripe is that they should have just made all their products 1.5%. After all, if this stuff works and it appears that it probably does. Whats the big deal? Can the outer hulls from coffee berries be that expensive?

Discontinued products sure can make shopping for skin care treatments confusing. Now with a line as massive as Olay Regenerist, this really is an understatement. You go to a companies main site and there before your eyes is a complete listing of what they offer. Then you click to yet another site and there are a handful of items that weren't shown on the main company site.

So then what's the deal? The deal is that for the most, part skin care product companies don't like to show what they discontinued for a few sensible reasons. First and foremost, they simply don't want you knowing that any of their products weren't success stories. Also they don't like to show them, lest they inspire you to go out looking elsewhere for a bargain on a discontinued product.

On the same token, the sites that list these discontinued products certainly don't want you to knew that they're clearance items. The reason for that is basic. That is that if you know that they're no longer in production you'll be less inclined to pay the higher standard prices that they like to charge. So then having made these facts known, the following is a listing of the complete Olay Regenerist line as of July 2010.

OLAY REGENERIST FACIAL MOISTURIZERS

Micro Sculpting Cream

This product is purported to contain their highest concentration of their specially formulated amino-peptide complex. Peptides are the main building blocks of collagen, so this product functions by hydrating and plumping back up lost fulness. It also contains a few proven effective soluble skin nutrients, such as B3 complex. What's most important though, is that all that it contains can penetrate the skins outer protective epidermal layer. Keep in mind that peptides are powerful active ingredients and can cause minor skin irritation with some users. The remedy in most cases of peptide irritation, is to simply cut back the dose and allow the skin time to acclimate.

Micro-Sculpting Serum

This serum is basically almost chemically identical to the above listed cream. It contains their unique peptide protein matrix, along with the other vital skin nutrients and delivers results in as little time as five days. Results are cumulative with both of these products but you do run a higher risk of irritation with the serum, which is meant for discreet problem areas. Serums like this also work much better under makeup than creams.

• Non greasy formula so it won't clog pores

Night Recovery Cream
This product uses a time release formula for the same amino-peptide matrix/B3 formula as the above listed formula. It's not hard to figure out that they all are meant to be used in conjunction with one another for total 24 hour treatment. What's nice about it, is that if any irritation should flare up, temporarily eliminating one from your 24 hour regimen should do the trick without interrupting your progress.

• Helps you to wake up looking more refreshed.

UV Defense Regenerating Lotion - SPF 50
All the skin care companies now offer some form of a moisture cream/sunblock combination. However; you'll be hard pressed to find one that delivers full spectrum UVA SPF 50 ultra-blocking power. This Olay Regenerist product is packed full of proven effective emollients and is the perfect under makeup solution for providing you maximum sun protection as you go about your day.

• Non greasy and perfect for wearing under makeup

DNA Superstructure UV Cream - SPF 25
This product is very similar to the above listed more powerful SPF 50 moisturizing sunblock. So then why the alternative? They offer this SPF 25 blocker for the person who's looking for something with a bit lighter presence. Granted; Defense Regenerating Lotion SPF 50 can be used under makeup but being that it is SPF 50, it will be heavier.

UV Defense Regenerating Lotion - SPF 15
This product is not only a lighter version of the above two listed moisturizer/sunblocks but UV Defense Regenerating Lotion - SPF 15 also contains the same full strength peptide + B3 formula that you will find in some of their more powerful clinically proven skin penetrating therapy products.

• Peptide + B3 + Vitamin C + Olay for triple effect

Fragrance Free Regenerating Serum

Formulated for maximum hydration, this Olay Regenerist product soothes fine lines and crows feet with the same proven amino-peptide matrix B3 formula that you might be more familiar with by now. No fragrance either, so this non oily serum simply soaks into your skin and goes to work without clashing with what you normally use for perfume or cologne.

• Hydrates to plump up skin and push up & out fine wrinkles

Deep Hydration Regenerating Cream
This product is formulated with active ingredients and emollients that are chemically engineered to quickly bypass the skins outer protective epidermal layer. It delivers deep moisture to the skins lower substrate layers, to produce actual visible results you don't have to wait around for. You can see them the very day you apply it.

• Same day improved skin texture

• Rich non-greasy formula

UV Defense Regenerating Lotion + Touch of Foundation - SPF 15
This product is very similar to their UV Defense Regenerating Lotion - SPF 15 but for one small yet crucial difference. That is that it contains a small amount of sunless tanner to add a darker richer tone to skin that needs it. Bear in mind that due to the small amount of tanner it contains, this is not meant to be used as a primary sunless tanning treatment. It's just enough to give a subtle golden hue.

• Enhances tone as it treats damaged & distressed skin

• Broad spectrum UVA & UVB sun protection

Reversal Treatment Foam
Because this product is a foam, it spreads like no cream or lotion can. It contains a veritable wish list of proven emollients that are formulated to deliver combined deep-layer penetrating, as well as surface therapy, for immediate reduction of fine lines and wrinkles

OLAY REGENERIST SPECIALTY TREATMENTS


Regenerating Serum
This product in fact contains one of the highest concentrations of their amino-peptide matrix + B3 currently available. An intense therapy formula that's clinically proven to deliver both short term, as well as long term cumulative results. Once again, keep in mind that peptides do bring with them the potential for skin irritation and this is concentrated peptide therapy.

Fragrance Free Regenerating Serum
This is quite simply the exact same product as the one shown directly above it but in this case it's 100% fragrance free. Be aware however, that lack of a fragrance can lead to inadvertent over use, resulting in negative side effects from the high peptide concentration.

Anti Aging Eye Roller
This product has been getting rave reviews online. It's relatively inexpensive (less than $20) and it in fact works. It gets its name from the unique triple roller rub on dispenser and it functions by actually constricting tiny blood vessels in the bags above and below the eyes. It works quickly too! It's also an effective moisturizer.

Eye Derma-Pod Anti Aging Triple Response System
This highly rated product from the Olay Regenerist line, is a super convenient,

super effective three in one eye picker-upper. Unlike the above listed eye orbital region therapy, this one delivers more long term results that can take up to 5 weeks to achieve maximum results.

• Reduces puffiness

• Fills out fine wrinkles

• Brightens tone

Eye Lifting Serum
This is the Olay Regenerist version of what has become a very popular treatment product for so many companies. They all work as this one does, according to the same principles. That is they induce the micro-connective tissues in the thin skin surround the orbital regions of the eyes to contract, which in turn causes they eyes themselves to actually lift. Hence; the name. It contains a host of proven active ingredients, including vitamin K palmitoyl pentapeptide, palmitoyl oligopeptide, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-3, hesperidin, chrysin and hydrosuccinimide

Eye Regenerating Cream + Touch of Concealer
Hydrates skin in the orbital region around the eyes to smooth texture and lessen

fine lines and wrinkles, while just a touch of concealer instantly brightens and fades out dark circles. This product noticeably lifts and regenerates eye appearance by way of advanced hydration therapy.

• Moisturizes with advanced amino-peptide + B3 complex

• Brightens the skin around the eyes

• Diminishes dark circles

Filling + Sealing Wrinkle Treatment
This product delivers temporary yet very noticeable results, as it fills in creases and then seals them to immediately reduce the appearance of wrinkles around the mouth, eyes, and forehead. Be aware however, that there is nothing contained in this product for delivering anything more than temporary short term results.

• Great for problem areas around the mouth, eyes and forehead

Lip Anti Aging Concentrate
This product visibly diminishes age related vertical lines for beautifully youthful lips. It contains a unique combination of specialized micro-fillers + a proven hydra-peptide complex. Olay Regenerist Lip Anti-Aging Concentrate works wonders on and around the lip contour. Completely odorless, its a great blend of chemically engineered waxes and emollients along with advanced cellular therapy for delivering both long and short term results.

• Super convenient twist up 1.8 gram lipstick applicator

Microdermabrasion & Peel System
This a two stage system that combines a microdermabrasion treatment with a mild and safe chemical peel. Strip away fine lines and wrinkles to reveal smoother, so much more even-toned skin. Remember that any product like this is not for every day use. Its designed and formulated to be used as part of a skin treatment regimen.

• Leaves skin feeling soft and smooth

Its advertised to allow you to experience a more “lifted look” in as little time as just two weeks.

achieve much younger looking skin.

• #1-Daily Regenerating Cleanser cleans and exfoliates.

• #2-Deep Hydration Regenerating Cream hydrates skin.

• #3-Eye Lifting Serum hydrates and visibly perks and lifts skin around the eyes

Thermal Mini Peel
Glycolic acid peels are universally accepted as one of safest and most controllable home peel systems available. What makes this one different though is that it contains a micro-crystalline complex to help you to safely slough of the outer skin layer. Its unique self heating formula warms and opens pores for more thorough deep down skin treatment.

• Micro-crystals polish skin to a youthful glow

OLAY REGENERIST FACIAL CLEANSERS

Regenerating Cream Cleanser
This is a special cleanser that's formulated to cleanse, exfoliate and moisturize skin for a new reinvigorated look of a professional treatment. It is an exfoliant scrub so its not meant to be used on a daily basis. Use it a couple times a week to bolster your normal face or body cleanser. Great on acne.

Finding complete truth in advertising in the virtual sea of modern skin care products is pretty much out of the question today. You see, the fact is that none of them can completely turn back the hands of time.

However; many of them can definitely smooth out wrinkles and give your face a youthful glow. So then, what about this product? After all, $29 for a 1.7 oz tube is a bit pricey. 1.7 oz is definitely not a heck of a lot of lotion.

Check out every add for it on the Internet and the first fact that's listed is that it's “oil free”. Oil free is big now, as more people look for products that can migrate to the skins lower substrate.

Well lo and behold, the very first substance listed on its ingredients is (dicaprylyl maleate), which is in fact an oil. Granted, it's a very fine oil that was first derived from whale oil but is now synthesized but it is none the less an oil.

OK, so all “B.S”. in advertising aside. What really matters I suppose, is whether it works or not. On the plus side, as previously stated dicaprylyl maleate is a “very fine” oil.

So fine in fact, that even though it is the main ingredient in Murad Skin Perfecting Lotion, they are able convince people that it's oil free. Another plus for it is that it's very benign and can be easily classified as hypoallergenic. It's mild stuff!

So for the person who's looking for a “quick fix” to dry skin and who also doesn't want to take chances with harsh and often dangerous chemicals, this would be a product worth trying out but remember again that 1.7 oz is a pretty “darn small” tube.

I love this product. I was worried that my skin would dry out with this lotion, but that has not been the case. It feels nice going on, and leaves my skin feeling soft, yet not sticky. My pores are still congested, but I think I need to get a facial to take care of that. . UPDATE: My skin did fine with this throughout a long, dry winter. I am almost out of my first tube and will repurchase. My pores, however, are still clogged. I don't think this lotion caused the clogging, but it hasn't helped the situation much either (none of the murad products have helped with that). I do, however, think this lotion is great, and have stopped jonesing for every new moisturizer on the market since I started using it. I really think this is the ideal moisturizer for those with normal/combination skin. Thumbs up. Posted by Candypantz

I tried a few facial moisturizers & this one felt the cleanest. I am very prone to breakouts & this moisturizer didn't break me out. It's kinda pricey for such a small amount but when I tried something cheaper it seemed sticky compared to Murad 3 skin perfecting lotion & made me unhappy w/drugstore brand moisturizers.
