As I am super picky but I have been searching for a product to moisturize my face for over a year. I have tried every natural product, including oils and what not and NOTHING was working. It never really absorbed and left me greasy but dry...if that makes sense!! I am now using this for over 2 weeks and WOWWY WOW WOW!! What a difference. Not so much for wrinkles for me but moisturizing and smoothing...

Seriously, I don't ever rave about a product unless I am truly in love. It is $$$ but I think so worth it, considering what I have spent in the past year and struggling with bad skin.

Heather,
I haven't tried the Neutrogena product yet but may have found an organic product you might want to try. I was in Whole Foods one day and asked the clerk what she recommended. She said she had grown up using Aubrey Organics. I purchased the Rose Mosqueta face cream and have totally loved it. I now use the cleanser and toner too. If you still want to find something organic you just may want to try Aubrey Organics.

On Saturday....when I'm cleaning house, I put EVOO .....extra virgin olive oil on my face and leave it on all day. Ocassionally I will also comb some through my hair....and cover my head with a bandana. My skin thanks me....my hair thanks me....and I LOVE the way they both feel. I usually use organic witch hazel (Thayer's) as an astringent after my shower. I also use the raspberry products religiously (as I mentioned earlier in this thread)....except for Saturdays.

Heather,
Thanks for the info. I have been trying organic and natural products too and they feel like they leave a film or coating on my face. I also miss the sunscreen in the old product I was using since I am outdoors daily. I'll give Neutrogena a try.

I KNEW I was going to mention something else...........
Several months ago we were trying to get some of my hubbys medications straightened out and our doctor told him to not take anything except for the prescriptions...till he could get the doses fixed. He has been off the raspberry caps.......and the growths on his arms are beginning to re-emerge.
As soon as he sees his doc toward the end of this month......he will be back on the caps.

I have also searched high and low for a quality line of facial /complexion products. Last year while searching for a "miracle" supplement for my sis-in-law, who was beginning her second battle with cancer, I stumbled upon Meeker's Raspberry seeds and all of their magical properties. I started reading and reading about the super qualities of the ellagitannins found in the raspberry seeds.....specifically the "Meeker's Raspberry".
Go to this link and read about it....and look at their products. Please note, I AM NOT in any way affiliated with smdi.....I just love their products....
www.smdi.org/products.htm
My hubby and I lived in the Phoenix metroplex for 25 years.....and had a lot of fun in the sun. I have a fair complexion and have almost always used sunscreen....but my dark, olive skinned husband has not. He has many, many, "sun spots....age spots.....pre-cancerous growths" on his arms. After I started reading about this miracle seed extract I figured "what's to lose?????". I first ordered the Raspberry seed capsules....and we both started taking 2 caps / 2 X day. And HONESTLY.....after about 2 months we started noticing that the spots on his arms were getting softer to the touch.....and just going away. After that I was a believer. I then ordered the Raspex Skin Gel and the Anti Aging Night Cream....and also the emollient facial cleanser. Since then no soap has touched my 54 year old face. The creams are a little $$$, but one jar of each lasts me over 4 months...upward of 6 months. I use the Gel in the morning...and the anti-aging cream at night.
Just go to the site and read about the products and decide for yourself. Once you try them I know you'll love them.

Natural- organic lines and just using homemade things with oils, oatmeal, etc...the whole variety. I find the Organics lines to be too $$$ and leave my skin VERY oily. This one is NOT natural but I have been so desperate. I guess you give and get.

Heather,
Thanks for sharing this. I have been trying new products too and haven't found anything I like yet. I will have to give this a try. Since you mention natural products what do you mean by natural and is this one?

That is a great price Heather. I am picky about skin products too. It helps me to get recommendations from someone rather then just order & see how it goes. Thanks for the referral.
