Products I've Used Up: Skincare

These are some products that I've used up in the past months.  Some I've already repurchased while others did not work out as expected.  I have dry sensitive skin both on my face and body so I tend to favor unscented products that are moisture rich.  In the winter months my face would get so dry that my skin would crack and my body is prone to eczema. I have some acne spots that I'm trying to fade (90% gone now).  I hope this post/review helps you!




1. First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream - Super emollient, and works wonder as a body cream for my eczema.  Also helps relieve itchy skin.  I've also used this one my face on areas where I have dry spots.

2. NARUKO Marjoram and Lavender Brightening Serum - This is my second bottle and it did brighten (not whiten) my skin, but it didn't make much of an impact on my acne marks.  Has a lavender scent, and a gel like creamy texture.  The product absorbs into the skin quickly.

3. Darphin Stimulskin Plus eye Contour Cream - Got this as a GWP.  It's a rich moisturizing eye cream that doesn't irritate my eyes.  Not greasy and absorbs quickly onto the skin.  Great for dehydrated eyes. Has a faint scent.

4. NARUKO Magnolia Brightening and Firming Spray - Very moisturizing facial spray.  I used this has a toner and didn't really notice any brightening or reduction of spots.  My main issue with this is the spray mechanism.  It sprays out like Mac Fix Plus - not an even distribution of product.

5. RoC Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Night Cream - This actually works!  It helped reduced my acne marks.  Has a very strong smell though.

6. Origins Brighter by Nature Peel -  Has a slight burning sensation and each pad is well saturated.  My skin would be very red after using these pads.  It did give the skin an overall brighter appearance (temporarily) but did not reduce any marks.

7. Bliss the Youth as We Know it - I love this!  Provides good moisture to the face and really hydrates to skin for a long period of time.  Also, did wonders for evening out my skin tone.  It smells funky, as in old gummy orange chew!

8. Jack Black Diamond Formula Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25 - One my my fav lip balm.  I have a bunch of these.  I use this in the morning and at night.  Leaves my lips baby smooth.

9. Josie Maran Argan Oil - Love this stuff!  I've been using this for about a year now and I can't live without it.  On days where my skin is super dry and extra sensitive this is what I use.  It takes a lot longer to absorbs onto your skin so be prepare! It smells like a farm - but you get used to it after a while.

10. Murad C Serum -  On the fence about this one.  Absorbs quickly onto the skin and doesn't really have a smell.  Slight improvement on the appearance of acne marks.  

11. Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré - Second tube!  Will repurchase for sure.  Nice basic moisturizer.  Soaks into the skin, rather then just sitting on top.  Fells great on the face!  Good for sensitive dry skin. 

12. Super by Dr. Nicholas Perricone Superhero Body Sculpting Lotion - Light lotion for the summer.  Absorbs quickly and provides good hydration.  I'm not a huge fan of the smell and this products runs out very quickly.  

13. Mederma Scar Cream - This is my third bottle.  Does help fade scars, but takes a very long time.  Since I've found other products that works better I probably won't be repurchasing anytime soon.

What are some products that you've used up lately?  Also I would love to know about skin care products that you love!
