Just curious to see what you all use. My skin still tends to break out a little bit once in awhile, but I'm also looking for something with a little anti-aging too. Looking for a good cleanser and moisturizer...

Re: Those 30+...what's kind of skincare products do you use?
Per my dermatologist:
When pregnant: Cetaphil cleanser and cream(not the lotion, not the face cream, the cream in the tub with the blue lid). Neutrogenia (sp?) sunscreen SPF 40 or more. It's called age protection or something.
When not pregnant and wanting to anti-age...Cetaphil cleanser and Rx Differin Cream. He's also put me on oral antibiotics for breakouts before, but only for special events (aka for my wedding). Also for the wedding he put me on some other Rx stuff (face wash and cream for breakouts). If your insurance covers it, I recommend a consult with a derm. I learned a lot.
Mostly, that your skin craves consistency. If you want it to look good for an event, he rec'd starting a strict routine months in advance. I also learned that Rx stuff is the bomb, if you can afford it. Nothing OTC compares for getting rid of acne/wrinkles.
i just use aveeno daily calming cream. I don't wash my face at night unless I put make up. I'm so bad! In the shower in the morning I use Neutrogena hydrogen peroxide face mask/wash. (I also only use white towels because the HP bleaches everything!)
I read this book and came up with my own regimen based on the recommendations. I have super sensitive skin. It would be great if she did an update because the products on the market change so much.
I use the Arbonne RE9 line. LOVE it.
