The Quest For The Perfect Skincare Product-Part 2

To find the perfect skincare, a girl has to ask her friends. So, I give you Lisa, my best friend since childhood, who will give you her take on her search for the perfect skincare products.


Hello fellow Musings devotees! After I responded to Nay’s request for skincare suggestions, she decided it was time for her first guest writer. As her best friend I’m very excited to share with you what I shared with her. I’ve used a lot of products over the years, some good, some not so much. Nothing really to rave about until now…
It’s important to understand that everyone’s skin is different. The products that work for me may not work for you. But here’s my story. I kinda got lucky when it comes to my skin. It’s normal with occasional dryness, I’ve never had a problem with blemishes (just a stray pimple here or there), and because I started using anti-aging products on my 20th birthday, at twenty-five I’m still completely wrinkle free. On the other end of the spectrum my skin tone is uneven so I have to wear foundation with plenty of coverage and I have visible pores. No, nothing earth shattering but it can still be improved on.

A little over a week ago I kicked my current Olay products to the curb because they just weren't working anymore. So I took a trip down the skincare aisle with the hopes of finding new products to correct my issues while still maintaining my goal of warding off those pesky wrinkles.
I settled on three Neutrogena products. To reduce the appearance of my pores I chose the Pore Refining Cleanser. For my uneven skin tone I picked up the Ageless Intensives Tone Correcting Moisturizer with SPF 30 (so important!) for daytime. And to round out my new regime I got the Ageless Intensives Deep Wrinkle Moisturizer for night.

It’s been about ten days since I started using the new products and I can already see a difference! I’ve had no problems with dry skin thanks to the double shot of moisturizer. My pores have already began to shrink and my skin tone is about 30% more even already. I’m extremely happy with the results so far and thanks to the affordability of Neutrogena products, I didn’t have to break the bank.

Like I said before, what works for me may not work for you. But I would absolutely recommend you try Neutrogena products if you’re in need of change. Don’t’ be afraid to experiment until you find what works. And if never to early to start using anti-aging products.

I hope you find this product review helpful if you, like Nay, are trying to find the right combination for your skin. If you’ve already found it, let Nay know! I know she’d appreciate it. And feel free to stop by my blog If Only Life Were A Movie.

Radiantly Yours,
Lisa Marie





Don't you love her? Me too :)

  1. Great recommendations! I only use Neutrogena skin products (even their makeup). I've struggled with acne for years and it is the only product that has made a noticeable difference - even the prescription products didn't beat it! I'll definitely pick up the pore refining cleanser! Thanks, Lisa (and Heather!)
