This is the best toner ever for anyone dealing with winter acne on either the face or body. The high glycolic acid content will slough off dead cells during those dry winter months, keeping skin fresh and clear without over-drying.
It's a bit heavy-duty for the face so I use it only when experiencing breakouts, or a few times a week on the nose and chin to keep blackheads at bay. I use it all winter long on my back to prevent those awful "backne" boils that can flare up when skin is starved for a little sun.
I try different products but I keep going back to the Neostrata line. I'm 57 and I've been using the moisturizers for over 20 years. I often get compliments on my skin. Great stuff!

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser
I don't know how, but this thing works! I don't use a lot of cleansers -- I'm a microfibre cloth kinda gal -- but when I need to tackle something tough, this thing does the job.

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion

Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm with Vitamin-E & Peppermint

My face turned all red when I tried this product today. The redness isn't going away quickly, even though I've washed it off. I look like I have a sunburn, or an allergic reaction to a sulfa drug. This is strange, since I can use even strong alpha-hydroxy products with no problem.
I wasn't too thrilled when I applied this product, either. It's too shiny/frosty, which isn't flattering to over-50 skin. Better options are Clarins complexion corrector, which I sometimes use under or mixed with my foundation, or Cover Girl Advanced Radiance in the twist tube. Both give coverage and even out skin tone while providing a soft, subtle sheen.
I sure hope I can get my money back, since this stuff was fairly pricey for a drugstore product.
What a disappointment! It's a cool-looking product in the package, and I would love to find a good daytime moisturizer that gives a touch of natural-looking coverage and color.
