One thing I've noticed since moving to New York 3 years ago, is that my 'old skin care' products weren't cutting it out here (breakouts, dry flaky skin, uneven skin tone, etc...).
For the last couple of years I have, systematically, been trying to find a skin care product that can keep up with the gritty streets on New York.
I was recently given a chance to try Dr. Christine Rodgers, En Pointe Skin Solutions.
Dr. Christine Rodgers, is a plastic surgeon, as well as breast cancer survivor; the women she met in her field, as well in her time of duress, inspired her start the skin care line.
En Pointe is formulated to respond to our skins stressors that contribute to lines, pigmentation, redness & irritation.
The product line looks girly & whimsical, as Dr. Rodgers has a life-long passion for ballet (hence the name), her story made me want to try; the packaging did not.
I tried the Balancé cleanser and toner.
First thing I noticed is that both the cleanser/toner have yummy smells.
(I've mentioned before, I LOVE products that smell like I could eat them.)
The Cleanser which contains cinnamon bark extract, cranberry extract, lactic acid and shea butter, got my skin super clean (no makeup/dirt residue) and didn't dry me out, which was an added bonus.
What I really loved, was that after only 5 days of using the product, I saw a big difference in my skin.
In fact, I actually had a few budding imperfections pre-product usage, and now they are gone.
(This is all without me having to apply zit zapper-type products (you know you have some, we all do).
The toner which also contains the cranberry extract along with ginger root extract and ginseng extract is very soothing, but effective.
This means I didn't have to hold my breathe well using an alcoholic-smelling toner that causes that wonderful my-skin-is-burning-off-my-face-feeling.
Another big plus is that both products help to remove 'sebum', the oily matter that clogs out pores, and gives us blackheads & acne. Knowing this, the Esthetician in me smiled!
I totally recommend the Balancé line, and should be used if you have a normal to oily skin.
Price?
Retails between $32-$35 and can be found on their site or at Derm Store.

I believe my face looks like a pizza so I guess it's a bit funny that I bought Proactiv at a site called pimplehut.com . It's been almost two weeks since I've been using proactiv so I really hope proactiv works for me as well as so many people online claim. Anyone here a true believer and is willing to provide some information on how long it takes to start working and maybe some suggestions to do and some things not to do?
Thanks ahead of time... <3 <3 <3
