Today I tried this product:

Neutrogena sunblock with helioplex in 70. I thought it was for the face, but after looking at their website, I see they make another product specifically for the face.
Here's my review: It was super thick and made my face shiny. I will not use it again on my face. It was ok on my hands and arms. Only ok because it was hard to distribute due to its thickness. The advantage of this thickness is that my arms feel like I put a nice lotion on instead of just sunblock. It also reacted with the products already on my face and made my eyes burn.
What I have been using on my face: Paula's Choice skin care line. She is the author of the book "Don't Go to the Beauty Counter Without Me" or something like that--I'm too lazy to google it. She sells her own skin care line online. I have been using Walgreen's version of Cetaphil to wash, and Paula's Choice toner for normal to oily skin, Paula's 8% AHA to exfoliate along with Clearasil facial scrub when I shower which has salicylic acid in it, Paula's moisturizer which is called something weird and has an interesting gel texture, and this has been my regimen for the past 3 or 4 days. I have already noticed a difference. I think it is the AHA. I used to have a lot of milia on my jaw line, but I have seen a decrease. I don't know if this is because this new regimen prevents them from forming, or if the exfoliation releases what is trapped--I just know I have seen a decrease. I don't feel like there has been a change in my eye wrinkles, and I don't think there is a product that can reduce wrinkles. I think products can only prevent/delay new wrinkles or plump the skin to reduce their appearance.
I would recommend checking out her skin care line, but avoid her makeup. I tried a sample of the liquid makeup and it looked chalky and made my skin look dry. The sample I lipstick I tried was fine but I already have the exact same color by Clinique and the Clinique lipstick goes on glossier, which I like. Her website also gives her reviews on a ton of products, so you can see her opinion on whatever you are already using. If you do choose to order stuff, look online for coupons to get free shipping, and her stuff arrived to me 2 days after ordering. My internet connection sucks today, so you will have to look her site up yourself if you are interested.
My next post I will review the 2 new juices I tried yesterday. Pretty exciting stuff.
