@Sooner, if you used the moisturizer, your skin might normalize some. Sometimes our skin creates more oil if it isn't moisturizer enough. Just a thought! Smiley Happy


I've tried that and it simply doesn't work for me.  I have really oily skin.  My dermatologist always laughs when I complain about this and says I should be glad.  I really don't have wrinkles--NOT that I look younger than I am I know--but my skin isn't wrinkled.   Any serum is enough moisture for me.

Re: Products you have that you rarely use

I bought some PTR peel pads.  Been sitting on my bathroom vanity for about six months.  I have remembered to use them about three times before showering in the morning.  I just can't seem to remember to use them.  Fifty different hairsprays.  I keep buying different types thinking they will be better and always end up buying more Paul Mitchell Extra Body Extra Firm Hold again and again.  Also have a container of blushes and cosmetic brushes I have used very few times.

Re: Products you have that you rarely use

I only have a couple things I don't use, one of them being IT cosmetics under eye concealer. I like it but am fortunate enough to not need much help in that area, I prefer Bare Minerals bisque. I also almost never use eyeshadow palettes, I have a couple but always reach for the same single color everyday. In my early 20s I bought a lot more to play with, now I know what works and that's what I almost always buy.

Lipstick, eyeliners - all makeup, really. Most days I wear none.

Re: Products you have that you rarely use

I have a lot and use a lot.  I even use my masks 2 or 3 times per week.  If I had to admit to a cosmetic/bath & body product category which I don't buy often, or use a lot when I do purchase it would be exfoliating body scrubs. Being a dedicated user of washcloths, and body polishers such as Salux Cloth and sisal items (including a sisal wrapped soap), my body gets plenty of exfoliating.

Re: Products you have that you rarely use

Like @Ellabella said, over the years I've learned what works, and that's what I buy and use every day.  I don't have any cosmetic or skin care product that I don't use.... except.... a tube of Avon mask that I bought 6 months ago and I've used twice (that needs to get tossed) and a old jar of Skinn Dermapeel (which is probably growing mold as I type).   OK, I'll trash both of those this morning.

Re: Products you have that you rarely use

I'm big on getting rid of stuff I don't use .  Recently got rid of anything that allegedly firms your skin, any manuel exfoliating scrubs since I now use Retin A and treat my skin more gently, foundations that I just really didnt love, lipsticks I didnt love, and old serums that seemed to do nothing.  Trying to keep it down to things I feel actually work and colors I love.
