Most favorite Skincare Brands and Products?

[Naiwen]

Mine would be Sephora’s house brands. Ladies and gentlemen, what do you prefer to use personally for beauty and skincare?

 

[ElegantAura]

La Roche-Posay is definitely one of my favourite brands

 

[Webster]

Enough said.

 

[MrDawn]

Jergens lotion is pretty good

 

[freakofnature]

I use a facial cleanser and moisturizer from Dollar Shave Club.

I'm seriously thinking about going and looking for the ingredient lists on things mentioned and then seeing what those ingredients do to you.



I've never touched this stuff, but I saw a commercial for it recently, and I wondered what was in it. It's an interesting list.
Dove - Men’s hand and body lotion with shea butter to care for rough, dry skin

To add a little more

The only thing I use from La Roche-Posay, the brand I mentioned earlier, is a face moisturiser. It’s super light and mainly for rosacea, itchy skin, and similar issues. Out of all the ones I’ve tried, it’s the only one my skin can handle, and it does help a bit with redness.
I also have an eye cream from them, but honestly, I hardly use it, maybe twice a week if I remember, I’ve never been big on using a lot of products.
For body wash, I’m using The Goat Skincare Moisturising Wash with Lemon Myrtle at the moment. Sometimes I switch to another one from the same brand since they’re all good, and I really like them.

Other than the La Roche-Posay moisturiser, I sometimes use tea tree oil, emu oil, or bio oils as moisturisers mostly for body. Some of the brands I use are Thursday Plantation, Talyala Emu Oil, and The Jojoba Company. Apart from that nothing else

Edit : forgot the sunscreen .......... i hardly use it but also from La Roche-Posay the Anthelios Invisible Fluid SPF 50+

I have been using this (and other Palmer's products) as a moisturizer for quite a few years. I certainly could be wrong, but I cannot see any of your "black listed" ingredients in this product.

*** Ingredients
Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Extract, Mineral Oil (Paraffinum Liquidum), Microcrystalline Wax (Cera Microcristallina), Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Dimethicone, Fragrance (Parfum), Tocopheryl Acetate, Beta Carotene (CI 40800), Zea Mays (Corn) Oil, Isopropyl Myristate, Benzyl Benzoate, Benzyl Cinnamate. ***

That doesn't look bad at all.

The only problem is that there are THOUSANDS of chemicals and chemical compounds that hide behind the word "fragrance", and it really could be anything.

The word "fragrance" or "parfum" on the product label represents an undisclosed mixture of various scent chemicals and ingredients used as fragrance dispersants such as diethyl phthalate. Fragrance mixes have been associated with allergies, dermatitis, respiratory distress and potential effects on the reproductive system.

EWG Skin Deep® | What is FRAGRANCE

EWG’s Skin Deep rates thousands of personal care product ingredients, culled from ingredient labels on products, based on hazard information pulled from the scientific literature and industry, academic and regulatory databases.

Many products list “fragrance” on the label, but very few name the specific ingredients that make up a “fragrance.” This lack of disclosure prevents consumers from knowing the full list of ingredients in their products.

Yeah, 'we' (mainly women, I think) see "fragrance" & reckon, "Oh pish-posh, that's nothing harmful". Sometimes we really are mushrooms.

"Better Living Through Chemistry"?

Amazing as how DuPont has had second thoughts about that slogan.
