Cerave Hydrating Cleanser And Lotion Review !

Hi Girlz,

Today i am sharing with you guys the cleanser and facial lotion i have been using for the past three and a half years now .I want to give you guys a brief background on my skin type. I have an acne prone ,sensitive skin with rosacea.So with all those skin issues combined ,i just cannot use any cleansers with acne fighting salicylic acid and/or benzoyl peroxide , as it reacts adversely with rosacea prone skin.So after trying a ton of drugstore and prescription cleansers , i finally got hooked to this skincare regime.I incorporate both these products in my skincare regime both morning and evening.

First lets look into the facial cleanser that i use.I use the 'Cerave hydrating cleanser' for Normal to dry skin.It has 12 Fl Oz of product and retails for $ 8.09 at my local walmart.It comes with a pump which i feel is very sanitary and easy to use.It has a milky white gel like consistency and on mixing it with water it does not lather up.

Among other ingredients it has ceramides and hyaluronic acid which helps to retain moisture in the skin,which is very important for dry ,rosacea prone skin.It has helped me to a great extent to not only keep my acne and rosacea at bay but also prevents my skin from drying.After washing my face with the cleanser , my face feels moisturized and does not feel dry at all.

After using this cleanser,i moisture my face with the 'Cerave moisturizing lotion' for normal to dry skin.This lotion also has the ceramides and hyaluronic acid technology which helps further repair the skin.It also has 12 Fl Oz of product and retails for $9.14 at my local walmart.It also comes with a pump and is a white creamy lotion.

You need a very little amount of lotion to moisture your entire face.After first applying , it takes a little while to get absorbed into the skin ,leaving the skin very soft and supple.

This moisturizer also acts a makeup primer and i do not use any other primer to prep my skin for applying my makeup.Also when i use this combo of cleanser and moisturizer at night ,in the morning my skin feels extremely soft .

Both these products are easily available at drugstores like walmart,walgreens,cvs,target etc as well as online .

Hope my experience with these products help someone who is battling with rosacea ,dry and acne prone skin.Also please keep in mind that different products react differently on different type of individuals.I also use a face mask few times a week in conjunction with these products ,which i have already reviewed on my blog.If you missed out on that post you can click here to see that.

Do share your experiences in the comments section below ,if you decide to give these products a try.

That's it for this one,till my very next,Share love , happiness and stay positive.

Cheers,
Rashi

IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC + Cream review !

Hi Girlz,

 I have been trying the IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ cream for a few months now and  I thought it was about time i would share my thoughts about it.

It's available in a wider range of shades from light to dark.There are 5 shades available at Ulta.You can click here to see.

I noticed in the ingredients list that it contains snail secretion as one of the top ingredients ,so i knew immediately that it will be moisturizing for my dry to combo skin.

I picked up the small travel size of it from Ulta for $15. The price of the full size is $38 at ulta.I like the fact that the full size comes with a pump .Pump obviously is not available on the travel size,it comes in a squeeze tube. 

Coverage and smell - This claims to be a full coverage color correcting CC Cream that contains an anti-aging serum and a broad spectrum UVA/UVB SPF 50+ according to the brand.On me it had a medium coverage as i could see some redness peeking through .It has a subtle citrus scent.In the picture below i am wearing this CC cream .You can see it reflects light back in flash photography as it contains SPF.

Texture and application-It has a rich ,creamy and thick texture.

After first application it has a dewy finish but after sometime it dries further to a satin finish.I prefer my Real Techniques beauty sponge to apply this as my kabuki brush gives a very streaky finish with this product.The formula is emollient but i would still recommend priming the face for even application of the product as it has a thick texture. Even for drier skin ,i would recommend it to set it with a powder.

In the ingredients List i could see a lot of ingredients including vitamins A, C, B, and E, and tons of other brilliant stuff for your skin ,but i did not like the fact that the list of ingredients was so long.As for the benefits to the skin,i did not see any miracle's happening.I have a sensitive,acne prone skin and i am extremely satisfied that it reacted well with my skin. 

 Medium was a perfect selection for my skin tone . For reference i am in the shade 155 in Makeupforever HD foundation.

Wear time- It stayed put on my combination skin (am very dry on the rest of my face except my T-Zone which is oily ) for around 3 to 4 hrs and that too in high humidity as i tried it in Tampa,FL after which my redness started peeking through all the more.  

Final recommendation-Would recommend it for dry ,combination skin type as well as aging skin as it is extra moisturizing. Its definitely for days you just don't feel like wearing a foundation.. :)

That it for this post today,till my next,share love and stay blessed.

Please share your experience with this product if you have tried it.Would love to hear from you girlz.

Cheers,

Rashi
