Neutrogena Illuminating Whip Moisturizer SPF 20Before you apply, prepare yourself. You're about to be seriously illuminated. The amount of mica in this daytime SPF 20 moisturizer is intense -- as in, glittery. I was nervous walking into the office, thinking co-workers would liken me to a disco ball. But after applying foundation and powder on top, it didn't seem <i&g...More |

H2O+ Green Tea Antioxidant Face ComplexA semi-strong alcohol scent and a department-store price tag make H20+ Green Tea Antioxidant Face Complex just short of spectacular. Green tea leaf extract helps this two-month supply of cooling, water-based cream impressively diminish the appearance of creases and fine lines with twice daily use. But dry skin types need mu...More |

Patricia Wexler M.D. Acnescriptione Oil-Free Hydrator SPF 30 for AcneThis lotion's lofty claims ultimately aren't reached. The trademark MMPi20 complex and Niacyl are supposed to reduce fine lines and improve your skin's own strengthening barrier, but don't make a dramatic difference after a month. Superior oil control makes it tempting to stray from my Olay Complete Defense Daily UV Moistur...More |

Dove Energy Glow Brightening Eye CreamEye cream gets constant mixed reviews. Does it make a difference or does it not? That's how most women feel about this one from Dove. Though the velvety texture goes on smooth and instantly brightens eyes with mica, it doesn't greatly improve dark circles or fine lines over time. This is probably because sunscreen is the on...More |

Clarins Energizing Morning CreamThis luxe, hydrating formula turns skin super-soft, but its main reason for being is to pump life into dull skin via reflective pigments. In terms of long-term, deep-down wrinkle-smoothing, there's not a whole lot going on, plus there's no SPF -- odd for a day cream. The good news is, one drop covers your entire face, so th...More |

Murad Correcting Moisturizer SPF 15This mint-colored moisturizer promises to color-correct your skin by balancing out redness. There's red-out going on at the cellular level, too, with gogi berry and licorice extract. So is it enough to go without makeup? Nope. The tube's triangular design makes it hard to get at every last drop, which is a bummer on such a ...More |

Skyn Iceland the Antidote Quenching Daily LotionMore like a serum, this daily lotion gets mixed reviews, partly because it doesn't contain SPF. As the lotion dries to near-invisible, skin feels calm and tingly. But is that due to "Icelandic kelp," the menthol scent or one of the other many, many ingredients in the list? It's not exactly "quenching" in...More |

Skyn Iceland Arctic Face Mist with Biospheric ComplexLet's call it what it is: an over-hyped bottle of water and fragrance. Like Evian Brumisateur Mineral Water Spray, this cooling facial mist aims to soothe irritated, stressed skin, but the effects seem more mental than visible. We love the sound of Icelandic herb-infused glacial water, but walking through a mist of plain ic...More |

Biore Skin Preservation Dual Fusion Moisturizer + SPF 30Okay, so I never moisturized. I figured, "I have an oily T-zone, lets not make it worse!" But when I switched acne washes, parts of my face were actually DRY, but my skin was amazingly clear, so I wanted to keep using it. I hated Olay's foaming moisturizer that I got; so I talked to a friend and when we were stand...More |

Aveeno Ultra Calming Daily Moisturizer SPF 30Did you know that titanium dioxide is one of the few sunblocks that provide a true physical block? I've seared high and low for a drug store moisturizer that provides real sun protection. This not only calmed my face down after being bombarded with chemical treatments, but provides moisture and protection....More |
