my number one product is St. Yves Facial Scrub. I also use facial wash such as Dove and Ponds. Sometimes i also use Dove soap in washing my face... after that i will use my favorite toner... it's a generic toner but it is very effective on my skin... how about you?

hi.. it seems that clean and clear is very "hiyang" for you. unfortunately in my case, clean and clear is not "hiyang" for me... though i have never tried neutrogena.. is it expensive? coz the neutrogena pressed powder of my friend is worth more than 500-600 pesos... thanks a lot and happy posting Note: for mylot member "Hiyang" means the compatibility of the skin, face or hair to a certain product. It means that a certain product might work best for me but not to another person... if the product is not "hiyang" for you, it does not mean it has a poor quality, since the problem is the compatibility not the quality...

My all-time favourite facial scrub right now has got to be Lush's Ocean Salt. It smells fantastic, like yummy margaritas. It can be a little stingy at times because of all the salt but I have very sensitive skin and I have never had any real irritation.

good day.... i have not tried Biore Shine Control Cream Cleanser yet...but it sounds interesting to me...where can i buy it? you also mentioned that you toner is generic like mine...but i'm not sure if my toner really fights blackheads and whiteheads since i don't have face problems yet...only few small scars and rare pimples... well my friend and brother have a lot of whiteheads and blackheads since they always expose to dust. unlike me coz i am always inside the house doing my job as an online writer.... both my friend and my brother loves to play basketball outdoors which resulted to too much sweat and dirt.. it is very dusty in our place since we are in rural areas... plus air pollution since we are just nearby the main highway... may i know the brand name of your blackhead fighting toner. i will recommend it to my brother and friend... it might be the answer to their face problems... thanks a lot and happy posting...

Clean & Clear Blackhead Eliminating Toner - This is a picture of the brand name version of this product. It is also available in the generic Equate brand from Walmart.
Well the brand that I use is Equate, which is a generic Walmart brand. The product is basically a copy, or the generic version, of Clean and Clear blackhead fighting toner.

I'm not sure if I'm on the right discussion, but I'll do try to share mine!;) Since I'm a guy, I mostly use facial cleansers. I'm not that into moisturizers, but I sometimes use them to find out if they really work!;)LoL The products I use are Ponds facial wash, Eskinol master scrub and some facial cleansers..

I usually use Johnson's Baby Bath to wash my face. It's very gentle, doesn't dry my skin and removes makeup very well without burning my eyes. Sometimes I use plain old Ponds Cold Cream to take off makeup. I use the Puritan's Pride Retinol Cream for my moisturizer. I like St. Ives products too. I use the Apricot Scrub twice a week on my face. I like their bath washes too. :)

Johnson baby products are truly proven gentle for our skin and as for babies. no wonder that we can use it also for our face. however i haven't done that yet..maybe i'll try it sometime since i am used to use Baby Bath for my body... happy posting

St Ives does have great products. I use Biore makeup remover to remove my makeup first and then I will use some facial cleanser by Kanebo to clean off the residue. But I do change my cleanser very often as I can't stand the idea of using a particular one forever. I am always on the search for the better.

I also used St Ive's Apricot Scrub a long time ago but my face tired of it and it eventually gave me blemishes. The best that I used was Philisophy's Purity Made Simple facial cleanser. I am currently using Olay Total Effects foam cleanser and I love how it makes my skin glow. I don't use toner but I use iWhite coffee face scrub 2x a week and it does wonders for my pores (which has become more prominent because of pollution!). For removing make-up, I rely on Benefit's Not on my Pillow (although I heard they already changed the brand name). Which is very gentle on the skin.

Most of the time I just use water. It is very cold now and I don' think it's necessary to use facial wash. It will make the skin dry. So water is enough for me.

i have used several that i like. cetaphil, clean and clear, noxema, neutragena, and the original dail anit bacterial soap. they all work really good to clean your face and keep the oil down. my problem is finding a good acne medicine. the one that works the best for me so far is clean and clear.

have you also tried dove or ponds? most of people i know said that the only solution to remove pimple is simply ignore the pimple..just always wash your face and don't be bothered much by pimples.. bothering those pimples will just increase their number... thanks for sharing and happy posting

I am very careful as to what i put on my face. As a matter of fact, i used to use a separate soap for my face and body but now i use Dove. It does me good. I used to use Noxzema but haven't in a while.

i use marykay products,included cleanser,moisturizer, eye cream and so on.actually,i like marykay's 5 steps in washing face.when you wash face,you massage the skin from the bottom up for 3~5 minutes.if you do so ,you will make your skin ease.
