Edited to say that I'm also using the Neutrogena at home microdermabrasion kit...wow!!! My skin looks great

I want to try that Neutrogena micro-dermabrasion kit, now I may just run out and get one!

Never tried.... But I used some products from the lign dermatologica...

Clinique s pretty good as well

I thought Proactiv was a yoghurty drink 'to aid' digestion....

doh....I guess it is something else too as y'all seem to talking about putting it on your skin...

You can also order ProActiv thru QVC (home shopping). That's what we did cause they've got all the nifty customer protection stuff already in place.

You can sometimes get Proactiv at your local mall as well...

what's this kit include and how much is it? Can you get it at your local drug store?

I'd appreciate some details, if possible.

Thanks plenty

My sister-in-law has started using Proactiv and seems to like it. I tend to think it will dry out my skin too much as I don't get that many blemishes, only occasional. I've started using the Bare Minerals line of makeup with their facewash and skin rever-upper and have so far been VERY pleased. It's great stuff and I think makes my skin look better and break out a lot less because the makeup is so pure.

I have heard about that line. Where do you get it? Is it only available through TV or net? Part of the reason I haven't tried it is it seems costly. What is the approximate cost? Thanks for the info

It's definitely a bit costly but worth it in my opinion. I got it off of their website (http://www.bareminerals.com)

and I got the largest set that they do because it worked out as a better deal. You can always get refills of things and it's easier to buy individual things on http://www.sephora.com. I'd say start out with their kit though, whatever size you chose, you get brushes with it that are costly to buy on their own. I think the basic kit is about 60 dollars. However, if you do order be sure to cancel the "club" thing that automatically refills your foundation and mineral veil every few weeks (unless you want it of course, but it's good to know about it or it could be a suprise cost you didn't expect!). Also, if you're very fair you can order over the phone and request the lightest shade of foundation (fair) that isn't available when you chose your order online.

I also use that line and it's fantastic! I've had one of their eyeshadows that I use pretty much every day for about four years, and I'm just barely getting to the bottom of it. If you happen to have an Ulta cometics in your area, you can get it there too. I find that the makeup lasts longer than regular liquid makeup and is a truer color to my skin. I'm sort of a makeup junkie, but I don't change from this line. Also, you can buy it off of QVC, which sometimes gives you kits and better deals than on their actual website.

Do you know if their cleanser has mineral oil in it? My friend was using that for a while but started to have breakouts. My assumption was that it was because it had mineral oil in it (which essentially is a barrier) but I wasn't sure, and she didn't have any of the paperwork that came with it anymore (the bottle didn't tell me much).

(She's using Arbonne now.)

I've been pleased with Proactiv, but it did take awhile before I was. I did eventually have to reduce applications as it did begin to dry out my skin, but once I did that, it was great. Sometimes I also use the Neutrogena foam and it alternates well with the line.

I love the Bare Minerals line, too...I use nothing else anymore. Once you know the colors you like, you can also find them on ebay.

Not sure, I don't have it handy. I was using the clinique 3 step skincare system and it made me breakout and once I started using this stuff I cleared up right away. I will look and see though! I'm not a salesperson for it, just giving my experience, if something else works better for someone then use it!
