A review of Dr Gross alpha beta xtra strength pads and burts bees day lotion with clary sage.

i don't know about you but i'm tired of the promises and confusion about what to use for fewer wrinkles, smoother texture, better tone, plumper skin, and the list goes on. i also just don't want to buy everything online anymore so i started looking for things i can buy at my local drugstore. and i just want to use 2 or three things that won't break the bank.

i have sensitive skin since going thru menopause 4 years ago and it turns bright red and often breaks out with certain products. i am dry with oily forehead in winter and normal to oily in summer.

i purchased dr gross alpha beta peel pads on amazon (the only thing i buy online now) that come in the foil pack with each pad separate. i cut them each in half which makes them last longer. i began using it every evening for 10 days which really made my skin glow and smoothed out the texture wonderfully. no break out. but it also made my skin bright red which lasted even til morning. so now i use the pads twice a week which is just enough to keep my skin glowing and smooth and after two months i can say that my brown spots have decreased dramatically to the point that i have gone from medium skin tone to light/medium! very happy! i also use the left over pads on the back of my hands which have also decreased the brown spots.

after reading some glowing reviews of burts bees hydrating line with clary sage (thanks Katcat1!) i purchased the day lotion at CVS and it has been wonderful. so hydrating, doesn't break me out or make my skin red. it hydrates so well that i use it am and pm and haven't had to purchase the night cream. i will say that if you have trouble with fragrances, this day lotion is fragranced. smells like cucmber to me and stays with me for a couple of hours. at first i didn't know if i could stand the sweet smell but now it doesn't bother me at all. i also use this day lotion on my hands and heels. i can't beleive how great my face and hands look! just from these two products, my scraggly, wrinkly, spotted skin has improved.

now i need to find an spf i can purchase locally that won't turn my face burning red! i also need to decide to switch to BB radiance or sensitive line for the summer. i think the clary sage will be too much for me. thoughts?
