I've been using SkinMedica for about a year and a half.  I ordered the Tatcha TSV and have been using it for about 2 weeks,  not sure at this point whether I'll go back to the SkinMedica or keep using the Tatcha.

I really like Dr. Denese, Alpha Hydrox and am waiting for the borghese mud masks to arrive!

That Fandango Mud Mask is great! I still choose Origins masks, but Fandango is fantastic.

I use Paula's Choice almost exclusively. Her products work for me and are reasonably priced.

Paula's Choice and Cerave.

Me too!  I use CeraVe cleansers and eye cream.  The rest is Paula's Choice.

Having said that, I have yet to even come close to using a whole "line" ..... every skin care line has it's "star product" and other things that are only okay.    

When I'm in an experimental mood, I go to a makeup line rep at the local store  and ask them what is their best seller .... or the "star" of the line.   Then I stay quiet and let them talk.   It's often quite interesting.

I personally think that you've brought up a most interesting point here, @Tinkrbl44!

"every skin care line has it's "star product" and other things that are only okay".

This point is so great, that I would LOVE to expand on it, and start a separate thread on this subject!

The information shared on such a thread can be of a great value and useful to many.

Since you Tinkerbell brought it up, would you then take a credit for it and start a separate thread?

If not, I will. But I think you should - this is your idea, and it's simply WONDERFUL!  Thanks!

If Cerave added more BHA, AHA, Vit C products would switch to them extensively. Their eye cream is the only cream I'll use and would compare it to tubes that paid $200 except Cerave is better.

This is great ladies.  Having worked as an esthetician for many years I have tried a lot.  I'm a serious skincare junky, big time. 😀 I have fallen in love with Paula Choice also.  Her line is so simple but effective.  Most of my skincare is from her line.  I have to be super picky because I am very sensitive to smells.  You know perfume, floral notes.  Triggers my migraines. 😡 

But I see all this new stuff I want to try.  Love hearing the top pics of other woman.  

Top Ones for me:

MD Formulations face and body scrub

Paula Choice clinical toner + resist toner

Paula Choice resist sunscreen + hydrolight sunscreen 

PC bh9

PC BHA and AHA

PC vitamin c

PC clinical 1% retional 

Walgreens, store brand/aka studio 35 alpha hydroxy face cream

Neutrogena liquid face wash

Alpha Hydroxy line

refissa tretinoin 

I could add more but don't want to write a book here.  😀😀

thanks ladies
