Skincare by hodgespodges featuring clinique
- Clarisonic Mia: This thing has been a life changer. I’m in love with how fresh and smooth it leaves my face. I don’t think I can attribute the change in my skin to just one thing, but if I could, this would be it.
- Clinique Acne Solutions: When it comes to my acne, I feel like I’ve tried everything. I did the proactive thing. I tried almost all of the drug store products. Nothing worked. And if it did work, it didn’t continue to work. After about three months my acne would return. This system is different. I’ve been using it religiously for almost three years. I used it twice a day when I first started. It changed my face immediately. I dropped down to once a day: at night. The price tag is a little hefty, but it works. And it lasts. Now that I only use it once a day, the products easily last me 4-6 months. Worth it.
- Garnier Nutritioniste Moisture Rescue: My favorite cleanser to use with my clarisonic in the mornings. It smells amazing, it’s gentle, and it leaves my face soft and moisturized. And it’s super cheap. Just don’t get it in your eyes. Don’t ask how I know. Just don’t.
- Ponds Clarant B3: I used to love dove facial lotion. And then it just disappeared off the shelves. I picked the travel size of this baby up just to try something else. That was two years ago. I’m in love. The large size lasts forever. And I love that it’s so easy to find in a travel size. Nothing sucks more than having to use random products when you travel thanks to TSA. I have extremely, and I mean extremely oily skin, and this balances out the moisture in my skin.
- Olay 7 Total Effects Eye Cream: I’m not totally sold on this product. It’s pricey, and I’m not sure I’ve seen any difference. I purchased it back in September and have committed to finishing the jar because of what I paid for it. There’s an eye cream I’ve got my heart set on from Sephora for when this jar is empty. I’m almost there. Alllllllmost.
- Hyaluronic Acid (not pictured): I found a hyaluronic acid day cream at Vitamin World. When I went in for a facial, the esthetician recommended I start using it to manage my oily skin. The one I got is the Derma e hyaluronic Acid Day Creme. It as fairly pricey, but it’s lasting! I will definitely repurchase when I run out, too. It seems to be working.
I love testing out new facial products. I’m always looking for something to make a difference. This is the first time in a very, very long time that I’ve found any kind of routine that I’m fairly happy with. Do you have any products that you swear by? Anything I should be trying?
Oh I am going to try that Garnier cream!
I love trying new products too, and I probably have a hundred trial sized samples that I'm always mixing up! Love it.
