Product Review: Murad Soothing Skin and Lip Care

As previously discussed in (POST: Product Review: Smashbox Emulsion Lip Exfoliant), my lips are a bit high-maintenance (who would have thought!?) in that they become dry at the drop of the proverbial hat. For that reason, I was recommended Murad's Soothing Skin and Lip Care (pictured below). The product is perfect for slathering on your beso-maker nightly before bedtime so that you awake with a soothed and moisturized kisser!

Murad Soothing Skin and Lip Care $15.00

Last night, however, Murad's Soothing Skin and Lip Care surpassed its previous use and upped its value in my beauty arsenal. Allow me to explain: after enduring five weeks of a skincare routine heavy in Retin-A and Salicylic Acid, my dry, irritated skin had me feeling a bit sali[silly]. My face was feeling extremely dry and my skin too tight for comfort. So, of course, I switched to my beloved Peter Thomas Roth Anti-Aging Cleansing Gel (POST: Product Review: Peter Thomas Roth Skincare) to slow the drying and bring my skin's texture to a neutral place. Enter: Murad's Soothing Skin and Lip Care. Last night I applied a generous coat of the product on and around my lips and underneath and around my eyes - locations where the dryness was particularly worrisome because my skin felt so tight that I was afraid of stretching creating unnecessary wrinkles. After reapplying a couple of times when I happened to wake throughout the night, I got up this morning to a visible change in the texture of my skin. While still dry, the product greatly reduced the tight feeling around my mouth and eyes. With the multiple uses of Murad's Soothing Skin and Lip Care, it has definitely earned its place on my repurchase list.

Product Review: Peter Thomas Roth Skincare

One to love. One to like. One to pass up.

Lover's Lane: Peter Thomas Roth's Anti-Aging Cleansing Gel $35

Source

Peter Thomas Roth's Anti-Aging Cleansing Gel is the ultimate 'clean feeling' cleanser. Among its perks are: about half the standard amount will do the job; the cleansing gel not only gives results, it also makes you 'feel' like it's been effective by working into a nice foamy lather; leaves skin noticeably brighter in just a couple of weeks; formulated with Salicylic Acid to fight breakouts; formulated with Glycolic Acid to fight the signs of aging; it is suitable for all skin types except sensitive. This is the absolute best cleanser I have ever tried and regardless of age - 16 to 116, the Anti-Aging properties will brighten your skin to a healthy glow.

You can purchase Peter Thomas Roth's Anti-Aging Cleansing Gel from www.Ulta.com or from www.Sephora.com.

Didn't quite make it to Lover's Lane but still courting: Peter Thomas Roth's Gentle Foaming Cleanser $32

Peter Thomas Roth's Gentle Foaming Cleanser is a soft, gentle option for all skin types. This product can be used as a makeup remover pre cleanser of your choice, but it is not my preference for cleansing when used alone. The product is gentle enough that it will not dry your skin, but as it is so gentle it doesn't provide the clean feeling the Anti-Aging Cleansing Gel does. If you wear minimal makeup and are looking for a cleanser that will work for sensitive skin, this product is worth trying. However, if you are similar to me in that you like a classic sudsy cleanser, you will be better suited for the Anti-Aging Cleansing Gel above.

We tried to make it work, but in the end, went our separate ways: Peter Thomas Roth's Botanical Buffing Beads $36

The Botanical Buffing Beads may be ideal if you have very sensitive skin or are prone to dryness. My husband likes that it feels refreshing, but I find it too gentle to be effective. The buffing beads are minimal and my face felt nowhere near exfoliated after use. While I am able to justify spending $35 for the Anti-Aging Cleansing Gel, Peter Thomas Roth's Botanical Buffing Beads showed no results warranting a $36 purchase for my skin type.

Whether you end up loving, liking or leaving a product, my suggestion is always this: if you have the opportunity, try it before you buy it! Pop into an Ulta where testers are available and ask about a small sample.

Later, Lovely!
