Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser got an average 4.8/5 stars by people who have purchased and tried it out: http://www.buzzillions.com/prd-90779-cetaphil-gentle-skin-cleanser-for-all-skin-types-reviews/?in_merch=1

I have heard of the Clarasonic brush as well, but there are at-home solutions you can use if you don’t want to throw down the $200. Mixing a bit of baking soda with Cetaphil makes one of the best and gentlest exfoliants out there! And I’m definitely not the only one that thinks so: http://www.ehow.com/tips_2728.html

BIG MISTAKE I had no idea it would spread like wild fire!! not only than I have caused some real scaring to my skin I have tried everything under the sun from Aveda products, pure green clay to massage loads of oily concoction on my face- Most of the products or accessory for good skin care are not available in the UK and would love to have a The Clarisonic brush and be one of the first in London to say HIP HIP HORRAHHH free at last ………..

Woo hoo! At 31 y/o I’ve tried every lotion and potion known to woman. As a little girl in the islands I had the most gorgeous clear reddish brown skin. My pre-teen years in S. Florida left me ravaged by sun, oncoming acne, and American processed food. I never got treatment and I never grew out of it. So, I’ve been on a two decade quest to find a simplied, organic skincare routine. I’ve even gone so far as to get a skincare license so I could just learn about what was going on with my skin (and treat others). To date I’ve used benzoyl peroxide, sulfur, peels(even strong ones that cause a complete necrosis of the top layer of the skin), HQ, kojic acid, AHA/BHA, ultrasound, hi-frequency, retin a, tri-luma. Anyone remember, Edgar Morris? Yep, I used that, Pro-Active of course. I’ve had ‘acne surgery’, all day clay masks(while I do household chores). I know it’s a emotional topic for many women at the core. Every bella on this board deserves a Clairisonic. Two years I worked for an evil dermatologist in Manhattan who bilked her patients of thousands and before I quit, I heard about the Clairisonic. I spoke to a sales rep on the phone who wanted us to try the product. This was only available in fancy schmancy derm offices before. Evil doctor lady would not let me try the product which I deemed to be a stellar and innovative. It’s been on my wishlist since. It’s truly remarkable. Today I use the simplest non-chem products possible. Basically essential oil and such. I have discovered proper cleansing and gentle, gentle exfoliation and cleansing are key. I’m going back to Jamaica this year, I want to look and feel beautiful in 2008. Clear skin is central to good health and good self esteem. Please please let me get what I want this time! Thanks Bella! Best wishes and happy exfoliation to the winner. I’m done, I promise. :)

I am 24 and desperately want to get rid of this acne! It is so difficult to find products because I am trying to be more conscious about what I take into my body as well as what I use on my skin and hair. Everything natural seems to be so expensive (entry level positions sure don’t pay enough for expensive trial and error) so I have tried homemade recipes. They work sometimes but the need to exfoliate is leaving me at a loss. Not only am I excited about trying the CETAPHIL I am excited about possibly winning the first thing I have ever won! Help me get beautiful and confident PLEASE!!!

“The Twenty Year War” that’s what I’ll call my battle against acne. I can’t tell you how many lotions and potions I’ve used trying my damnedest (if that a word) to have skin like Jada Pickett-Smith. At the top of the list is Pro-activ. Honey that stuff provided me with amazing results for a total of 2 hours then I was right back at square one. Differin was the bomb until I got pregnant. Most recently I’ve tried Skin Ceuticals now let me tell you this stuff is great but I would have to take out a small business loan in order to afford just one of their product. That stuff is not cheap. The C+AHA is like $110 a bottle.

***Shh, listen. Is that a violin playing? Just in time for me start begging****

My skin had been “showing out” for way to long. Mrs. Afrobella please give me the Clarisonic brush. I’m begging. Please, please, please……Okay let me get off my knees someone just walked into my office and I had to pretend I was down here praying instead of begging shamelessly for a beauty product.
