Once married with kids I had to go REAL cheap. Which probably explains the reason I often look like a teenager. The selection is slim at the local drugstore. I now go to depart stores just to hold the pretty packaged items and dream of buying them again. My face was longing for some love and I had neglected it (my dermatologist can atest to this!)
Luckily I was given this to try:
I was gitty with excitement! I had no idea what the retail value was at the time, but had guessed upon it's arrival that it was up there with my fancy Paris brand. It's cute, clean packaging made my face feel clean before I even put it on! AND to my surprise it was not as pricey. Granted, you can't find it on sale for $5.99 at your local drug store, but you get what you pay for!
I have been using this beauty for the past two weeks! I must say much of my skin has cleared, my pores are visibly cleaner, and every time I use use it, my face feels like a layer of dirt has been lifted. The best part is it was just what my dermatologist had told me to try--Fragrance and Paraben Free! (you can't say that about said $5.99 brands). And so me and my new cleanser started a brand new relationship. Like any new relationship I learned things about it I wish I could change (I had difficultly squeezing the thick cleanser out of the bottle and wished there was a pump to it), and things I loved about it since the moment my face met it (the feeling of CLEAN I got was immediate after first use).
The only thing I wish I had planned better was purchasing the moisturizer to go with it. I feel like to get the full affect of a product, you need to use the line. My mix and match of different moisturizers after using this gem, often caused my face odd break out spots. I personally think a moisturizer is an essential part of helping to deliver the best a cleanser can provide. They work hand and hand. My lesser brand wasn't cutting it. And so next round, I buy the product line! Luckily Apothederm is running a great sale now through 12/31/11 for all of you! All you have to do is use the discount code TENOFF when you check out, and you are on your own way to clean skin! After all, your face is the first thing people see when they meet you, you might as well treat it good!
Who needs Paris? I have made in the USA!
