Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+

pretty darn good

This was one of my original Clinique favorites, and still is. It works well for my combination skin--doesn't cause acne but hydrates enough to not look like a snake shedding skin. Not moisturizing enough for a night cream, but my favorite for during the day. Also, I like that it *doesn't* have any SPF. I really don't need sunscreen in every last cosmetic.

St. Ives Apricot Radiance Blemish-Fighting Cream Cleanser

Just enough

I can use this product 2-3 times a week without irritating my skin, and it really does cut down on the blackheads/acne on both face and body. Much better for body acne than topical creams, because it doesn't stain clothing and it also exfoliates. Must always keep a tube in the shower! And it's cruelty free, unlike most acne treatments.

Aveda Sap Moss Conditioning Detangler

It really works! And cruelty-free!

What I want from a conditioner is tangle-free, static-free, shiny hair. Sap Moss gives me all this and more--great smell, not the typical "aveda perfume", and it also gives my thin hair body. It does weigh down my hair more than other conditioners, but those conditioners don't seem to prevent static and tangles all day long.
