Splurge Vs. Steal - All-Time Favorite Moisturizing Lotion

I admit, that I'm kinda lazy in my younger years to follow any skin care ritual in taking care of my skin. Well, I'm good at washing my face and putting some astringent. But as my mother (and a lot of beauty experts) said it's not enough. I need to moisturize. Since I am prone to break-outs, I have tried different moisturizers that promised better skin texture, tone and moisture. Heck! Only these two products passed the test....


SPLURGE : CLINIQUE'S Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion



The Promise :
This moisture "drink" developed by Clinique's dermatologists to maintain optimal moisture balance. Softens, smooths, improves. Convenient tube. balance for very dry skins, or skins dry in the cheeks, comfortable to oily in the T-zone.

My Verdict :
I noticed the difference after almost an hour applying the product. No strong scent, which is really good. After less than a week, I noticed my skin softens without the oiliness. Blemishes somewhat lightened. Very suitable for humid weather. Definitely a keeper! With its price...you may consider it as an investment.




STEAL : GARNIER'S Active Daily Treatment Moisturizer Lotion



The Promise :
It is specially formulated for skin that is prone to imperfections, visible pores and blotches. It has salicylic acid and zinc that heps purify imperfections. Anti-bacterial treatment for oily/blemish-prone skin.
My Verdict :
It certainly softens my skin. Removed its oiliness, my blemishes lightened in less than a week. It has a plant-like grassy scent. Also very suitable for humid weather. With its price, definitely a steal!
