Hope you don't mind :] <BR/><BR><BR/>I'm relatively new to the makeup scene and I thought I play it safe [and not make my wallet cry] by trying some "reliable" drugstore brands: Physician's Formula [Organic line] and Aveeno. After checking out my local Rite Aid and various online reviews, PF's Organic mineral line <I>seemed</I> like a good start [especially with a 40% off discount!]. After one use, my face did not respond in kind and was covered with dry, red scaly blotches! Allergic reaction to <I>organic</I> makeup?!? Didn't think it could be so!<BR> Since my dermatologist wasn't available for another three weeks [I know!!], I decided to buy a [foaming] cleanser and moisturizer from Aveeno's Ultra Calming line. Not expecting a miraculous recovery the next day, but to my dismay, I woke up <B>worst</B> off than I was the night before! <B><I>Seriously</I></B>?!?! "Ultra <I>CALMING</I>" products that irritate?! My face was even more inflamed and drier :[ I had to go into work everyday for three weeks looking like I was sunburned beyond repair. Unlucky, that I am :[ <BR>Although this was over a month ago, I'm still trying to recover and with some expensive prescription medications, I'm slowly [like a snail] getting better. I guess I'm still on the market for a basic makeup kit, but first, a good cleanser and moisturizer to start :]uber beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13054447029305407249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791715165628545697.post-73337342818804381942009-01-08T02:04:00.000-05:002009-01-08T02:04:00.000-05:00I used a glycolic acid cleanser by Peter Thomas Ro...I used a glycolic acid cleanser by Peter Thomas Roth, but it really irritated and dried out my skin.

I had forgotten my neutrogena cleanser, so I sent my grandmother off to get one. Well, I didn't realize that sometimes the products in diff. countries are way passed expiration date. Yes, I am so serious Ren Ren. My face burned, flaked, and I had dry patches all over my face. To make matters worse, the water there is diff. too, so that made my face worse. I had to have my mom send my neutrogena from America (took about a week) and for the rest of my vacation I only washed my face with bottled water!Nu Nu Dolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05104957968285167467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791715165628545697.post-63630710571824100772009-01-08T00:41:00.000-05:002009-01-08T00:41:00.000-05:00Hey RenRen,My worse experience with a cleanser has...Hey RenRen,<BR/><BR/>My worse experience with a cleanser has to be with Proactiv. I was a sophomore in high school with raging hormones and began to develop many pimples. After hearing the great claims about proactiv and how it could clear my acne, i spent an entire month and a half saving up allowance to buy the starter kit. After blowing my money on the starter kit, my pimples got even worse after 2 weeks of using it. I got really angry and began trying over the counter cleansers such as Clean and Clear and Cetaphil, Neutragena, but none of those worked on my skin! Eventually I had to go to a dermatologist (which cost even more money) and she had to prescribe me some cleansser that didn't smell too good and a really gross ointment to place over my pimples to make them better. To make matters even worse, it was starting to become summer time and my family wanted to go visit family in vietnam. (And this is my FIRST visit, I was so excited but wanted to hide under the covers!) also, vietnam is extra hot so it made my skin even more oily and shiny! i spent most of my time indoors to avoid sun exposure and had a terrible time during my first visit in vietnam. once, i had broken out so bad while i was there, it hurt to wash my face, it hurt to smile, and it hurt to laugh. i didn't know that something so small could hurt so much on my face. i'm probably never going to use cheap things on my face again. now, i have scars where my t-zone area, but i've been learning how to cover them up by using concealer...<BR/><BR/>kind of embarassing, but i feel very comfortable sharing with you because i know you're very comfortable with your readers! (hee hee i saw the picture of you eatting the chocolate, just waking up!) ;)<BR/><BR/>See ya Ren,<BR/>- Michelle<BR/>fallingsnowflake@yahoo.comMichelle K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00194630203869031806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791715165628545697.post-5622293027631311422009-01-07T23:49:00.000-05:002009-01-07T23:49:00.000-05:00I've pretty much have had horrible experiences wit...I've pretty much have had horrible experiences with ALL of the facial cleansers I've tried these few years. But the one cleanser that stands out as the worst of the worst has got to be the liquid clinique face wash which is part of the 3 step system they advertise. <BR/><BR/>I had went to a clinique counter in desperate need of a face wash that would actually work and not irritate the crap out of my skin. I've always heard pretty good things about clinique and there skincare products and thought that I should give them a try. Well the SA there explained to me how each product worked and while doing so she would apply each product of the 3 step system to my face. I had makeup on already and she puts the liquid face wash on my face without any water at all and just let it sit there on my skin and she only wiped it off with a tissue. Then proceeded to go onto the toner and lotion. <BR/><BR/>The next day I woke up with these tiny little pus filled spots ALL OVER MY FACE! It was worst on my chin area for some reason. Not only were they painful but they were itchy too and my skin felt so dry, patchy, and flaky too. I had to slather my skin with hydrocortisone cream for about 2 days. It was bad enough my mother let me stay home from school those 2 days.X4biddenxLustXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13409896841708409039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791715165628545697.post-19715034167145442672009-01-07T23:39:00.000-05:002009-01-07T23:39:00.000-05:00Hey RenRen, I know we're supposed to put down our ...Hey RenRen, I know we're supposed to put down our worst experience with skin care products, but what if I've never used a skincare product before? I've just always scrubbed my face with a bar of soap and TA-Dah!! But yes, I think its because I dont know what would be good for my skin. ALot of people comment me on how nice my skin is, but I dont see why, because theres nothing special to it. I'd love some input on how to find the good type of skin care products.

My face looked raw (red and raised skin) for 3 weeks. I ended up in the ER. This happened when I was 16 yrs old. My family had no health coverage & we weren't on public aid since my granny refused to go after mom for child support. LOL!! That was the condition for AFDS and Medicaid... you had to allow the state (Georgia) to go after the biological parents... anywho back on topic ;-) Now the color MAC foundation I wear is NC45 so can you imagine how horrible I looked? I could not miss school so I was mocked and ridiculed and teased on a daily basis... rumors started I had some sort of disease... what disease no one knew... but they just knew I had something! LOL!! My BFF will still to this very day laugh @ me about it. I can laugh now but gosh was I sad for a long time. Guess what? I have another story! Not from skincare though... my aunt used to arch eyebrows really well.... well she used Nair to do it... I ended up with red raw looking skin again! This time only on my forehead! LMAO!! AND no eyebrows for about 3 months! Luckily I was 23 & married by then.

Well, that was my reaction about two summers ago when I was in Vietnam. My aunt from France was visiting Vietnam around the same time and brought me some face wash she got from good ole’ France. Ooh laa la? NO! At first, I was really excited because come on, who doesn’t like getting international beauty products. I washed my face before I went to bed and my face felt very stiff as if I just gave myself a facial with egg whites. Trust me; I’ve done it before so I know the feeling. Thankfully, I moisturized my face before I went to sleep. In the morning, I woke up and my pillow and white crusty pieces on it. Eww…did I drool? That would be so embarrassing. I hurried over to the mirror and checked out if I had streaks of drool. *Gasp*…it was much worse. The crusty white stuff was all over my face. For some odd reason, the French face wash that I could not pronounce the name of dried my skin and the white crust was my dry flaking skin. That was strange because I even moisturized the night before. I was supposed to go out but I refused to step out of the house with flaky skin. That morning and afternoon, I spent my day in my room tweezing off my bits of dry skin. It was not fun! And you bet…I NEVER used that facial cleanser again. For some odd reason, my cousin tried the same cleanser and she received great results. Me?...I still scorn that wash that I don’t remember the name to.Tina Danghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04522884272726772305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791715165628545697.post-43309006390303208912009-01-07T18:41:00.000-05:002009-01-07T18:41:00.000-05:00my worst experience was when in order to mend my d...my worst experience was when in order to mend my dry skin i used a cleanser my mom gave me..and it worsened my condition....my face was full of red flaky patches...i couldn't even exfoliate them b/c they kept on getting worse since the red patches were so raw...eeeeh....i couldn't even cover them up with foundation properly! :(<BR/>right now i reeeally need a nice cleanser to get rid of my acne scars..which are on my cheeks..and on my chins..EVEN MY UPPER lip...the red acne scar on my upper lip looks like a teeny tiny red mustache...heheh...man do i hate it...i try to cover em up with concealer...but after a while i dnt know why i see those scars peeking thrrrouuuugh :'(<BR/><BR/>P.S:...luuuuv ur tutorials...big fan of urz..!! i recently noticed tht u have a blog as well..lolz...loving this as well..KEEP IT UP..U ROCK!!! :)aaj83https://www.blogger.com/profile/04095164593191163481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791715165628545697.post-11678973045870778662009-01-07T18:34:00.000-05:002009-01-07T18:34:00.000-05:00my worst experience was probably when i used proac...my worst experience was probably when i used proactive and it made my skin look brownish and splotchy. not sure if it was due t drying out my skin. <BR/>i stopped using it the next day right away!<BR/><BR/>i ended up trying to cover it with make up for picture day.. but that made it look worse lol.MyFashionAddictionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17867083737190093299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791715165628545697.post-87302392660827789512009-01-07T18:23:00.000-05:002009-01-07T18:23:00.000-05:00Hi Renren!Just want to let you know that i LOVE yo...Hi Renren!<BR/>Just want to let you know that i LOVE your blog, and have been a loyal follower, and just made my blog today. =)<BR/><BR/><3 CjCjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10816654031833887561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791715165628545697.post-21767601187734655992009-01-07T18:21:00.000-05:002009-01-07T18:21:00.000-05:00My worst experience was when I was stuck out of to...My worst experience was when I was stuck out of town for 3 days with no store near by (camping) and had to wash my face with bar soap and water...talk about peeling skin and dryness galore!! never again!!!Beauty By Supriyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02446348190023671443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791715165628545697.post-44153753875117254182009-01-07T17:56:00.000-05:002009-01-07T17:56:00.000-05:00this sounds like a really good cleanser...can u pl...this sounds like a really good cleanser...can u please do a review on the product?Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01031858173947996870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791715165628545697.post-6062356218924620612009-01-07T15:53:00.000-05:002009-01-07T15:53:00.000-05:00Hi Ren!

My mother was trying to replicate a facial she got a few days ago on me (essentially I was her guinea pig) and used the Shiseido cleanser because she thought it was gentle enough. Plus it was Shiseido, so it must be good right? Turns out I broke out in hives all over my face and neck. I had to take Benadryl to calm it down.

Instead my acne prone skin has remained acne prone, and at times even more oily and shiny! So anyways I tend to wash my face in the shower in the morning to save time, and I notice I had some minor breakouts on my chest. Well I decided to use my Avalon Organic facewash (got it at Target) on my face, neck, and chest. BAD idea. It looked like you could play connect the dot from my face down to my chest, and I got more breakouts on my chest after doing that. It's horrible. I tend to pull out my mirror at work at look at those ugly things :( I can not wait until they go away!Sonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13333819235312464990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791715165628545697.post-52666887918656825562009-01-07T15:00:00.000-05:002009-01-07T15:00:00.000-05:00i am all about keeping my face clean, glowing and ...i am all about keeping my face clean, glowing and flawless. i am also about trying new things. i was reading reviwes on the product called Acne Free. Its suppose to be better then Proctive and alot of people that tried it out even said that. so why not try it, right? that was a mistake!! the first few days fine then it just went down hill from there. my face started to burn and get extreamly dry. even my husband said my face look disgusting and i should just throw away the product, which i did. i guess there was one benifit from using that product and to find something that would help my face heal faster. i found Lush and wow it works wonder for my face! ever since then i've been on Lush but that does not mean i not going to try out new things just because a product failed.Ares G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01837831363987124368noreply@blogger.com
