o tempora, o mores!

Or at least, what I’ve tried from them so far is.

A few years ago, they had a heating mask that I used to use, and it was nice, although it was a little pricey. The price of some of their products used to turn me off considering them, but then I tried some, either by having enough money to afford or via a friend. So far there’s nothing by them that I’ve used that hasn’t made me happy.

All their toners/astringents work just as described and even better. I’m not using one of their currently, but when I run out, I’ll probably buy some.

Currently, I’m using their godly Pore strips which you’re instructed to use after you wash your face. The normal ones work just fine, but I have stubborn pores at times and sometimes I’ll opt for the improved Ultra version. You get less per package, and I do believe they’re slightly more [depending on where you purchase from]. There’s a bunch of cleansing, ilk-attracting stuff in the strip that, when activated with water, draws any stuff from your pores. Obviously it isn’t anywhere near as dramatic as the commercials were when they first came out–and if it is, wth @ your skin. It’s a neat product, I’ll have to say. I’m not really acne-prone, but prevention is fine too. :x

For my trip, I picked up a pack of their little Daily Cleansing Cloths so I wouldn’t have to fuss with transferring my pHisoderm into a little bottle for the week. These things are pretty great, too…they smell really nice, and if you don’t need [or feel you need] anything like salicylic acid, they’re perfect. I still prefer my pHisoderm for regular use, but if there’s any chance you feel psychotic and adding something for face-stuffs then…yeah. Not complicated or involved, just open the damn case, pull one out, wipe it about ze face, and boom. I suppose it would be especially convenient for those who wear makeup, and if you’re very tired and don’t feel like taking a whole shower or even just trying to wash your face at the sink, that way you aren’t wearing that stuff to sleep…it’s been really gentle around my eyes, so that shouldn’t be trouble unless you’re trying to scrub away at mascara or something.

I plan on trying their myriad of exfoliating somethings, but not until I’m out of my St Ives. Mrawr.
