exfoliating moisteriser for congested pores, fines lines, wrinkles and rough texture
i am 36 and have suffered with acne of various degrees for most of my life since my teens, i think finally at the age of 36 i've got it the point that i'm reasonably happy with my skin, it just taken me a long time to find the products that work for me.
i have found that using a moisteriser containing saliclic acid works for me, and this one does. unfortunately you can't get it many places in the uk, QVC does it at twice the price that it is in the USA, and you can get it from ebay sellers who will ship it from the US. i got a job lot last time I went on holiday there! skinstore.com used to ship it to the UK but won't anymore, i'm assuming because QVC have now got sole distributor thing going on here.
as it contains salicylic acid, you should ensure that you always incorporate sun screen into your beauty regime, as you will be more sun sensitive.
i certainly find though it's the only moisteriser i use that keeps spots at bay, and does also treat them if you do get the odd one. I use it every morning, prior to sunscreen, if i have the odd spot, just put a little extra splodge on it. Can be used under foundation, but i have found at long last, that 'm comfortable enough with my skin to go without foundation, (that's something that's taken me twenty years to achieve!)
