I've always been a big fan of L'Oreal skincare. I have sensitive combination skin ( oily t zone, drier cheeks ) with the occasional break out ( usually hormonal ). My main concerns are fine lines & wrinkles, enlarged pores, and uneven skin tone/texture. I also want a product that has some type of SPF because while I try to avoid the sun at all costs, it's unavoidable.
So with all those requirements I chose L'Oreal Youth Code. I use their daily foaming face wash. It gently exfoliates the skin, plus removes all make up residue. It's oil free too. This retails for $7.99.
Then I go on to using the serum concentrate. It's main ingredient is LR2412 which honestly I have no idea what that is, but it makes my skin feel amazing. Instantly and visibly tightening pores, diminishing fine lines/wrinkles and revealing soft, even skin texture. This retails for $24.99.
I follow up with their day & night cream. It's main ingredient is Perline-P, and again I don't really know much about the chemistry behind this, but I do know that it works. This cream is non greasy, has a great clean scent, and does exactly what it promises. My skin feels like velvet and looks radiant all at the same time. This retails for $24.99.
I repeat this regime twice a day. In the evening I also use a sensitive skin baby wipe ( Pampers ) to take off my make up first ( especially waterproof eye make up ). The baby wipe is a great alternative to those expensive make up removers. It's gentle enough for a newborn, and a fraction of the cost.
The quality is great too and the products really last. I generally can use these for about 2-3 months before having to rebuy. I usually find them on sale either for $5-10 off ( plus check for coupons in the paper ), or buy one get one 50% off. Target, Walgreens, CVS, Meijer, Ulta, ect always have these on special. There are other products to this line too that I haven't explored, but they aren't targeted towards my skin type. They have Youth Code for dark spot correction, and they also have a try me kit (3 most popular products in travel size for $24.99 ) of their basic line ( is not aimed at tone & texture, but is more for the anti aging aspects ). They also carry various BB creams which I haven't tried, yet. I encourage you all to give it a try. You will notice results within a week.
