Ie. Someone has been searching for Clinique or similar on your computer...
Not on my face!!
Their exfoliator is good, if you like that sort of thing.
The rest of their stuff is double the price it should be and stuffed full of parabens and alcohol, like you say.
Now we've got official sponsorship...
Yeah I was looking recently as the 2% salicylic acid toner I use is around about £23 which I thought was a bit expensive for a toner. A bit of research showed the Clinique one also has 2% salicylic acid in but then I saw how much alcohol it had in it and decided it was worth the extra £4-£6 for one that is alcohol free.
Neutrogena also do one with 2% SA for like £8-£9 which looked promising. Think that was almost 40% alcohol as well. No chance.
I can see there being an enormous court case in 30 years time, where the people who have been sold all these alcohol-based products sue because they look like prunes.
If you can afford Clinique prices, there are so many better options on the market, for men and women.
Well .. to use a cliche .. this ..
But then as sure as night follows day, we'll always get a thread complaining about ads every now and again
Me neither.
The last time I used ad blocker on my laptop it almost crashed the thing and many websites did not function properly. It is not always an option
What ad blocker did you use ?
The stuff I use is more expensive than Clinique. I was looking at Clinique for a cheaper alternative
All I meant was that the £25-£40 range has a lot of options.
There are very few things over £45 that have any real value beyond that range. There's only about 8 ingredients that have ever shown any real impact on human skin improvement, and anything beyond that is marketing nonsense. And some of the best things with them are in the £20-£30 range.
So what's the recommended ad blocker on an iPad then?
Indeed... but finding good skin care isn't all about finding the 8 ingredients that have ever shown any impact on human skin improvement. It's also finding a product that has those without the nasties too, which leads us to where I started with my first post in this thread. For example, there are plenty of products with salicylic acid in, so you'd expect to be able to find a product for around a tenner or less. Unfortunately that isn't the case, because finding one with SA in but also without alcohol/coloring/fragrance in is difficult. The cheaper ones are full of crap, so in that case, paying more can sometimes be worthwhile.
You'd be surprised at how many £20/£30/£40 products have just as crap ingredients in as the £3/£4/£5 ones.
