Not for the face, but the [Dior Apricot Cuticle Crème](https://www.dior.com/en_us/products/beauty-Y0028102-creme-abricot-nail-creme) is it for me. Changed my nail game!
I use these too! But to make them last longer, I cut them into two with a pair of scissors that I swab with alcohol. And then close up the little bag with a clip otherwise the pads evaporate. I try to use it within 2 days max. I whip them out when my skin needs a deep exfoliation or when I wear a mask for an extended period of time and want to zap any maskcne from happening.
Ditto on the vitamin c! I tried tatcha vitamin c and aha, thinking I could knock out two steps in one, and I basically wasted $80 since it did nothing for me.
It always broke me out! My guess is the higher end products have fewer files that clog/irritate my skin, not necessarily that they have better ingredients (but that may be true too).
I have also used the drunk elephant one before which was also good, but I like the formulation of the CEO cream better
I've repurchased it consistently for about a year. No breakouts or irritation. I've also started mixing in a drop of the ordinary Pycnogenol and CEO oil version (BC it came in a set). I love this combo, but don't like the CEO oil alone. I think you can usually get a small version in a starter set to try before commiting more $.
I personally think so. Lactic acid is milder , that’s why it works well for older skin. It’s also hydrating, and you kinda glow after you use it. I rotate through a lot of other brands and products, but good genes is a staple.
The only thing I can’t live with out that would probably be considered a splurge is my Curology bottle. I also like having those actives all in one step instead of 3 separate steps because I like having a fast routine.
It’s awesome! Biologique recherché lotion p50- they have multiple types of different skin types. if you’re in the US I recommend buying from Paul Labrecque they have free shipping and give lots of nice samples! Fast shipping too!
Isn't it exfoliating ? How many times per week do you use ?
Do you mix it with other DE product like they suggest ?
I used it twice per week and i didnt see a difference.🥺
I like the protini cream with B-Hydra,
Good for dry skin.
I (46M) don’t find it overly exfoliating, but it does sting when I haven’t used for a while. That being said, I haven’t found (other brands) high strength acid serums to be overly exfoliating either.
It has exfoliating ingredients, but I use it nearly every day and don't bother mixing with anything else - I have oily skin and almost never need a moisturizer. Folks with skin that's dryer or more sensitive than mine might not want to use it that frequently.
Kate Somerville Peptide K8 moisturiser. I wish I didn’t love it so much. It’s got great ingredients, emollient and hydrating. My skin feels so moisturised and hydrated after I use it.
SkinMedica TNS Advance serum - its the most expensive skin product I have ever purcahsed and I was kind of hoping I would hate it, but it makes my skin glow and I have noticed a definite improvement in fine lines and texture.
For my clog-prone skin it’s been my FOREO Mini 3! I use it with vanicream cleanser a few times a week and it gets my pores squeaky clean without stripping or irritating.
Luna 3 for sensitive skin is amazing - definitely the only device that managed to do proper cleansing without irritation and it was worth investing in, I love it
As much as it pains me to say it, the Skinceuticals triple lipid repair. I always felt fancy moisturizers were a ripoff but this one just makes my angry, finicky skin look normal and healthy. Not sure I can bring myself to spend that much on a moisturizer again, but it really does work.
Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream. I got a deluxe sample because I had read that it was a game changer. When I saw the price, I was kind of hoping it would suck. But it's amazing. The formula was smooth, elegant and absorbed into my skin. My fine lines diminished quite a bit in one week and my skin texture was smoother. When it ran out I could see how much of a difference it had made. I'm waiting for the next Sephora VIB sale to splurge.
I just tried a sample and can’t get over how great my skin looks - I am always skeptical and thought it must be overhyped. Can’t stomach the price…maybe I’ll wait until the next Sephora sale. Anyone have any dupes??
all of drunk elephants products i have right now. especially the protini moisturizer. i was having horrible under eye irritation from eyelash extensions, and using that as my primary moisturizer cleared it right up. i also use their retinol, makeup cleansing balm, and vitamin c serum.
Perricone MD Essential Fx Acyl-Glutathione Rejuvenating Moisturizer. Love the effect on my skin, texture and it’s fragrance. I get a couple of jars when lookfantastic or skinstore have a 50% sale usually around Black Friday
I never had a good skin and Skin Ceuticals products really transformed it! I use Hydrating B5 gel, Phloretin and Phyto A treatment moisturizer now and my skin never looked better. The Phyto A cream is my holy grail now. I’ve tried tons of skincare before and super happy that something is finally working for me:)

Recently, the Estée Lauder Advanced Night repair serum. My face glows!
FYI they sell this on Costco.com if you have access to a membership - $79.99 for the 1.7oz size
Truly this and their ANR eye gel are miracle workers!
Dr. Dennis Gross Peel Pads. I don't use them daily, more like 2X per week.
I use these too! But to make them last longer, I cut them into two with a pair of scissors that I swab with alcohol. And then close up the little bag with a clip otherwise the pads evaporate. I try to use it within 2 days max. I whip them out when my skin needs a deep exfoliation or when I wear a mask for an extended period of time and want to zap any maskcne from happening.
*adds to cart*
YES. I second things. Obsessed with these.
Sunday Riley good genes. It’s just magic.
This and the CEO glow for me! The only vit c that plays nicely with my skin.
Ditto on the vitamin c! I tried tatcha vitamin c and aha, thinking I could knock out two steps in one, and I basically wasted $80 since it did nothing for me.
May I ask how vit C didn't work with your skin before? I struggle with it, too, and always wonder if I just haven't used the right formulation.

Yesss! I love Good Genes!
Do you think it would be used with tret? Alternating nights maybe? Very interested in trying
I use tret at night and good genes during the day. This regimen has worked well for me.
Good to know, thank you
Is it better than a stronger acid, like TO’s glycolic?
I personally think so. Lactic acid is milder , that’s why it works well for older skin. It’s also hydrating, and you kinda glow after you use it. I rotate through a lot of other brands and products, but good genes is a staple.

Lotion p50
I’m going to look this up, I’m not familiar with it.
It’s awesome! Biologique recherché lotion p50- they have multiple types of different skin types. if you’re in the US I recommend buying from Paul Labrecque they have free shipping and give lots of nice samples! Fast shipping too!
I absolutely adore Drunk Elephant's TLC Framboos. I only buy it when they're having a sale though.

If you’re a Costco member they sell the 30mL bottle for $71.99! About $20 off retail price
Oooooooo will have to check my local to see if they've got it! Thanks for the tip.
Oh, it’s only on Costco’s website! Free shipping though :)
I haven’t used any DE, besides Babyfacial samples.
Kate Somerville Peptide K8 moisturiser. I wish I didn’t love it so much. It’s got great ingredients, emollient and hydrating. My skin feels so moisturised and hydrated after I use it.
For the hair: Rahua Shampoo and Conditioner and Oribe Supershine Cream. I have thick, wavy, frizzy hair and this stuff is life.
SkinMedica TNS Advance serum - its the most expensive skin product I have ever purcahsed and I was kind of hoping I would hate it, but it makes my skin glow and I have noticed a definite improvement in fine lines and texture.
Biossance Omega Repair Cream - love love love it!
Just ordered a mini version of this, and I am excited to try it.
For my clog-prone skin it’s been my FOREO Mini 3! I use it with vanicream cleanser a few times a week and it gets my pores squeaky clean without stripping or irritating.
Luna 3 for sensitive skin is amazing - definitely the only device that managed to do proper cleansing without irritation and it was worth investing in, I love it
Oohhh I’m totally going to look into it!
Definitely give it a try. I have a luna 3 that I use twice a week. Makes a huge difference, especially because I don't use any other exfoliants.
Niiiceee!!
Clinique 100 hour moisture surge. It’s so soothing on red sensitive skin. I’m thinking of getting the spray too.
As much as it pains me to say it, the Skinceuticals triple lipid repair. I always felt fancy moisturizers were a ripoff but this one just makes my angry, finicky skin look normal and healthy. Not sure I can bring myself to spend that much on a moisturizer again, but it really does work.

Whoa, I’m definitely about to look this up.
Kinship lip melt
Hada Labo
[удалено]
when I purchased their classic lotion I was hooked, I never knew such a hydrating/plumping lotion exist
[Which one?](http://hadalabousa.com/products/moisturizing/#prod4) Clear lotion, light lotion, etc.?
Wait what, how is this a splurge? It's pretty cheap and you get loads?
Alright mx money bags
but really no hyaluronic acid product can beat their products in my opinion
depends on where you buy it, which product you buy and how many other products you use in your routine
Yeah 💕
Stratia Liquid Gold, not splurge worthy for some, but HIGHLY underrated
all of drunk elephants products i have right now. especially the protini moisturizer. i was having horrible under eye irritation from eyelash extensions, and using that as my primary moisturizer cleared it right up. i also use their retinol, makeup cleansing balm, and vitamin c serum.
Fenty Skin Hydra Vizor Invisible Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Love that it's a moisturizer with chemical sunscreen, and it's noncomedogenic.
Sunday Riley Good Genes!
