No. 1: Cosmedicine Medi-Morphosis Self-Adjusting Exfoliator, $38

TotalBeauty.com average reader rating: 9.9*
Why it's great: "It's expensive, but worth every penny," readers say. "I love that the product 'disappears' as you use it and it's gentle enough to use on lips as well as face," says a reader of the scrub. "I could NOT BELIEVE the difference in my skin! It looked wonderful (even, brighter, pores seem to be shrinking back in fear) and it felt amazing," another reader says. And if the previous statements weren't convincing enough, "This exfoliator revealed beautiful, glowing, refreshed skin. I LOVE IT!"

Ulta doesn't get the attention it deserves--I love the fact that they sell both drugstore brands and high-end beauty items. These are superb choices. I especially love the uni-sex "Wrinkle Injection" from Too Faced (discontinued now, I believe, but I'm hoarding two unopened tubes). Makeup is stunning when applied over it; my husband uses it to fill in tiny furrows and creases and sooth his skin.

I love Ulta strong

No Ulta in my area, darn!

i want to try so many of these!

Finally went to Ulta in my city and I love it!! Stocked up on some NYX cosmetics to give them a try...so far I love them :]

I've never really shopped at Ulta, but I love the fact that they have high end products and regular drug stores brands so I can one stop shop.

by Lamexicana1 Thursday, November 8, 2012 at 07:38PM Report as inappropriate

I boycotted Ulta 6 months ago, but its nice for others to see you what you can there

by GlowGirl Tuesday, October 2, 2012 at 05:36PM Report as inappropriate

though Im not with Ulta, Im certainle an Olay girl so much while younger sister's with Cetaphil she used it for treating mild acne...

Monsia isn't there? Ah well, I don't really go to Ulta for skin care, I use Beyas for that. Monsia is the best skin care line so far :) It's the only one that has actually worked for me.

by laura_wolfhart Sunday, August 19, 2012 at 01:40PM Report as inappropriate

I just don't connect Ulta with Olay, Neutrogena or L'Oreal. I go there for products I can't find at the Drugstore.

by alictasia Wednesday, July 4, 2012 at 10:01AM Report as inappropriate

Very interesting. Although Too Faced Wrinkle Injection did absolutely nothing for me!

by CaroleVonAllten Wednesday, July 4, 2012 at 08:55AM Report as inappropriate

great

Good shopping tips

I love ULta

by LittleBunny Wednesday, April 18, 2012 at 03:17PM Report as inappropriate

i love ulta so much! it's such a great place to just wander around in :D

by naomihy Friday, April 13, 2012 at 06:36AM Report as inappropriate

Most of these products can be found at the drugstore for much cheaper than at Ulta.

by sportimonki13 Monday, April 9, 2012 at 05:01PM Report as inappropriate

Ulta is the best store, really.

by eatinglipstick Tuesday, April 3, 2012 at 07:46PM Report as inappropriate

LOVE Ulta and they actually sometimes have cheaper prices on the drugstore items BUT I won't go there just for items I can get at CVS or Walgreens. I too LOVE walking around Ulta. Can do it for a looong time.

by Nicole1021 Saturday, March 31, 2012 at 10:32AM Report as inappropriate

I love walking around Ulta. So much fun.

by beautybody Wednesday, March 28, 2012 at 11:04PM Report as inappropriate

Exactly what I say. I dont get it CVS is way cheaper with these brands, I only go to Ulta when I want to save on Urban Decay, Benefit, Diorshow and all the high-end fixes

by Alisunshine Thursday, March 15, 2012 at 09:55AM Report as inappropriate

Pick up your drugstore products at the drugstore, not Ulta. Pick up the other fun stuff from Ulta.

by powerwoman033 Monday, March 12, 2012 at 09:39PM Report as inappropriate

Ulta greatly overcharges on products you can find at the drugstore.

by volta Wednesday, February 22, 2012 at 11:20PM Report as inappropriate

i love cetaphil gentle cleanser, it is very nice. but i only use it in the morning. if i wear make up i like to use a stronger cleanser. also tried olay serum, it is the worst serum i ever used. loreal paris idea skin genesis i used one bottle. it is ok, it did not improve my skin.

by florahubert Thursday, January 12, 2012 at 08:30AM Report as inappropriate

A great list! And they're available more widely than just at Ulta, which makes it even more useful. Thanks!

interesting

gotta love ulta :)

by anna_davis Sunday, October 9, 2011 at 04:50PM Report as inappropriate

Thanks, Ulta is new to me and this gives some ideas of things to try.

by Agrimony Monday, October 3, 2011 at 11:36AM Report as inappropriate

ultra sounds great!!

by Bon_Bon Monday, August 15, 2011 at 12:47AM Report as inappropriate

This is kinda pointless, you can get these products at almost any drugstore.

by CliniqueLover Thursday, July 7, 2011 at 11:32AM Report as inappropriate

Good products, although most of those products can be purchased elsewhere.

by MissPurple Tuesday, July 5, 2011 at 10:44AM Report as inappropriate

I LOVE Cetaphil products! inexpensive, simple and they work! The Basic face wash seems like a promising one worth trying

by awan0912 Wednesday, June 8, 2011 at 12:45PM Report as inappropriate

Should start trying face washes. I do love Olay products.

by ebbsandtides Thursday, May 26, 2011 at 09:42AM Report as inappropriate

I like olay products. I'm glad they made it on the best list. Have not tryed those yet. but i will

by laurie_olsbo Tuesday, April 26, 2011 at 12:23PM Report as inappropriate

I haven't tried any of these, but I've been thinking about trying some of the basis products. I'm kind of wary of straying from my current skincare products, but Cetaphil's Gentle Cleansing Bar is probably a safe bet.

by LipglossandSpandex Monday, April 11, 2011 at 08:31PM Report as inappropriate

I'll keep some of these in mind the next time I shop.

by volta Wednesday, March 30, 2011 at 11:59PM Report as inappropriate

i like these :) love ulta and the way they have high end and drugstore products

by lelalu100 Saturday, March 19, 2011 at 01:40PM Report as inappropriate

The Cetaphil products are the best! Gentle, non-irritating and leave your face soft, smooth, and not tight and dry.

by Isis04 Monday, March 14, 2011 at 01:06PM Report as inappropriate

i never used ulta before, gonna try it!!! :)

by judyangel101 Tuesday, February 22, 2011 at 06:09PM Report as inappropriate

Yay ULTA

by LittleBunny Wednesday, February 16, 2011 at 07:21PM Report as inappropriate

Great article and timely for me. An Ulta just opened near me and I am going to visit it shortly. Have written down some of these to pick up!

by Agrimony Friday, February 11, 2011 at 12:24AM Report as inappropriate

i looove ULTA! some of these products are expensive, but the inexpensive ones are pretty great.

by kenya Saturday, December 11, 2010 at 02:48PM Report as inappropriate

No because there's one that's only $4 +.

by SexyStar Thursday, September 23, 2010 at 08:33AM Report as inappropriate

have you noticed all the 11 products are so overprized
