Do you use cleanser, eye cream, day cream, night cream, etc. from the same brand, e.g., all Philosophy?  or do you mix and match?  And, which method/products works best for you?

 

I mix and match:  PTR, Jose Moran, Elemis, Clinique and whatever sounds good coming down the road; i.e., I am not brand loyal.  Guess I'm always in search of something better - that fountain of youth!

I mainly use PTR for retinol, night cream, body retinol, and some face masks.  I always use Philosophy Hope in a Tube for my eye cream. Sometimes, I use Kotz 40 SPF under my iT CC cream. As far as facial cleansers, I am using up what I have on hand. 

 

I believe if I am faithful to a routine, day and night, that it is going to be as good as it gets!

I have a mini Nordstrom/Target beauty aisle in my bathroom. I switch it up a lot and am not brand loyal.  I haven't found a good dupe for Purity, but am currently using Cetaphil (and Clinique cleansing balm and BB cleansing oil).  Currently loving Paula's Choice.  Just finished a jar of Olay Regenerist Sculpting cream.  

Mixing it up - Love it!

Except for my vitamin C serum and cleanser I use all Paula's Choice Products and my skin has never looked better!

I try to stay true to one product line. It makes since they are created to enhance one another. 

Number one requirement is cruelty free.

For face - day/night/eyes/hands/cleanser/creams-gels-serums: Jan Marini.

For hair - shampoo, conditioner(s), masks, spray, treatments, tools: Moroccanoil.

In concert with these products are (were) regular professional services. 

Now that we’re “on pause” from our pro visits I am doubly glad I have this arsenal of products to use at home so I don’t have to think about it.

I use Elemis products for anti aging.  Eye creams make my under eye swell.  Not a good look at all.

 

I take everything off with Philosophy Purity.  It's always worked.

@eddyandme  I am a Philosophy girl all the way. I have used their products for years and just love them. I must admit to being very loyal to this brand.

I don't use a lot of products. Purity, Dr. Nassif pads, Olay microscupting moisturizer. My skin looks pretty good for this over 70 year old gal.
