For Clear Skin One Word -- Cetaphil!


If you're one of the lucky few who never experiences a blemish, pimple or simply dull-looking skin, you're probably the envy of all of your friends. For the rest of us mere mortals, we have to religiously apply skin care products in an effort to keep our skin looking clear and acne-free.

Cetaphil is one of those effective, tried and true products that have been around since many of us were born. Chances are you've tried one of their products whether it was recommended by your friend or dermatologist, this brand is synonymous with achieving clean and clear skin. My sister actually told me about Cetaphil a few years ago.

I tend to have very oily skin with occasional breakouts and washing my face each day with their Daily Facial Cleanser really helps control the oil. The best part about Cetaphil products is that they are fragrance-free and gentle enough for all skin types. Since they don't have a sweet, girly smell, guys can use them too! Plus, all of their products are conveniently available at drugstores nationwide.

Hi BGG,

I agree that Cetaphil is good stuff. I use it!

Don said...

I use Ambi soap. If anyone laughs @ me, then shame on them.

K-Bear said...

BGG, I love Cetaphil but stopped using it a while back to start a new regime. Seems it might be time to go back to the tried and true! Don, a man who takes care of himself is a good thing. I happen to know a very well kept man who uses Oil of Olay faithfully. hahaha Don't laugh...his skin is so soft and flawless it makes me want to behave...almost! ;-)

I have always been a big spender when it comes to cosmetics. Always buying this cream and that cleanser because the woman at “the counter” convinced me, or maybe I convinced myself, that I needed it. A few years back I had an allergic reaction to a product that I bought and had to go to the dermatologist for the first time ever. He kind of scolded me for spending that much money on foolishness and told me to use Cetaphil. Shortly after my skin was right back to normal. I have to admit I have diverted from it again. Mainly because I have been wearing makeup more often and I like to hit it and quit it. I have been using Soy Face Cleanser by Fresh. I like this stuff because it is gentle enough to use in the eye area and removes all eye makeup. Makeup remover and cleanser in one is what’s up and takes less time.
I have to apologize because I have been stopping for quit a few weeks and never introduced myself. My name is Erika and I have been enjoying your blog. I look forward to more helpful hints. Keep doing what you’re doing.

I'm a Cetaphil girl too! I use the cleanser and the moisturizer with sunscreen. My skin is nowhere near perfect, but it is sooo much better since I've been using the Cetaphil.

A good Dermatologist prescribing acne medication + exercise + drinking plenty of water + green tea + Cetaphil = a clear complexion for me. (Seriously... I need to get back into the gym, because I've notice a couple breakouts!)

Hey BGG,
Yes Rx for Brown skin is by Dr. Susan Taylor.
You can check out the regimens available at Sephora. I did a post on this product a while back so you may want to look at the skin section.

Hello, All. I'm a Pediatrician and found this blog by Googling Cetaphil reactions. I figured I'd add that we physicians have been recommending Cetaphil products for decades BUT they've recently reformulated the line and now half the products contain nut oils (macadamia, shea butter, sweet almond) and and are a huge risk now for anyone with nut allergies. The recent reaction in my practice was hives at the application site, but could involve anaphylaxis in more highly allergic people.
Just a heads-up! Take care.

If you have a good look around, you may notice quite a bit written on [url=http://cungmuagiatot.com/thoi-trang.html]Thoi trang nam[/url]. The thing about so much of this is there are conditions that will have an effect on what you can expect to use. The thing about it is that you have to think about associated topics that could have a direct bearing on you. There is always much more you can find and use that will be very beneficial to you. No matter who it is, there are pitfalls along the way if you find some important piece of data appears to be missing. Well, we have done our research into this subject, and we feel it will be of good use for you.

The general complexities of women's and men's style

Both men and women could have the pressures of keeping their clothing up-to-date and in season, yet men's fashion frequently seems a lot less difficult. Of course, for both sexes, outfits and style options may be quite as complex, and there are many'stylish'items that can rapidly become fashion faux pas - who is able to say they often see people walking on in 70s flames? On the other side, men's fashion features a few staple goods that can exist eternally - which man is going to look out of position with a good-quality, tailored suit, for instance? Select basic pieces, colours and fabrics and you'll never seem out-of-place.

Why basic men's style is amazing

The basic man's suit has hardly changed for over a hundred years. True, there are many types for various situations, however they are all common in their quest for a wise, sharp search for the individual. The neat thing about traditional style for men is that it's effectively fashionable simply neat. A well-groomed man will typically appear his sharpest in a well-tailored suit, and this is a testament to the style of such apparel. A match will be utilized to work in several careers due to the professional look it offers to the wearer, instilling a sense of respect and trust. Equally a suit will be utilized to several social functions, like a tuxedo to a black-tie affair. This incredible versatility that enables suits to be used in virtually all situations is what gives it its eternal edge and a lasting place in men's fashion.

Modern trends in traditional men's style

Although classic men's designs will never be replaced, it is interesting to note that shifts in men's fashion trends have brought certain classic garments back to fashion. The popularity of vintage clothing, specially, has taken back a wide-variety of basic models into men's wardrobes, such as that of the dandy guy. 'Dandy'is a term used to reference men who dress yourself in a classic yet extravagant way, acting in a sophisticated manner and placing importance on appearance. This development for nearly'over-the-top'common fashion for men is evident from events including the'Tweed Run', where men and women of all ages clothe themselves in especially Victorian-style clothing and decide to try the roads on vintage bikes - with lots of the men sporting perfect mustaches! This is just one of many examples of research showing the revival of such types. Additionally, there are numerous blogs online which concentrate on gentlemanly style - such as'The Dandy Project'and'Dandyism'- as well as whole web sites such as'The Art of Manliness'specialized in providing articles on basic men's fashion and grooming.

In conclusion, whilst certain issues with classic men's style may be brought back as new developments, the essential outfits that they are derived from will never slip out of fashion.

The firm provides a single [url=http://cungmuahotdeal.com/thoi-trang.html]voucher gia re[/url] for every working day in each of the markets it serves. The Groupon features as an assurance arrangement using ThePoint's system: if a specified volume of gentlemen and women indicator up for the offer, then the offer you turns into presented to all if the predetermined the very least is not fulfilled, no one gets the provide that working working day. This lowers chance for merchants, who can treat the price cut codes as amount particular discount rates as properly as sales advertising and marketing equipment. Groupon makes cash by striving to keep about 50 % the earnings the buyer pays for the coupon.

For illustration, an $eighty therapeutic therapeutic massage could be acquired by the customer for $forty by way of Groupon, and then Groupon and the retailer would break up the $forty. That is, the retailer presents a therapeutic massage valued at $80 and will get approximately $twenty from Groupon for it (underneath a fifty%/fifty% split). Or, if $240 genuinely worth of home portray answers is purchased by the client for $fifty by implies of Groupon, then the organization will get $twenty 5 and Groupon keeps $twenty five. The buyer will get the massage, or the residence portray services, in these illustrations, from the retailer for which they to start with paid out out $40 (or $fifty) to Groupon. There are specified companies to which Groupon at first did not offer its solutions, which includes taking pictures ranges and strip golf equipment however, taking pictures ranges have been featured on Groupon.

In contrast to categorized advertising and marketing, the merchant does not spend out any upfront worth to participate: Groupon collects private data from prepared buyers and then contacts only individuals consumers, largely by every day e mail, who may well perhaps be intrigued in a particular goods or help.

Groupon employs a huge amount of copywriters who draft descriptions for the bargains highlighted by e mail and on the internet web site. Groupon's marketing textual content material for the 'deals' has been witnessed as a contributing element to the recognition of the net internet site, that includes a unique mix of complete fact-checking and witty humor.

Owing to Groupon's market getting primarily composed of woman shoppers, the bargains are usually focused on the wellness, health and fitness and attractiveness marketplaces.

There are very likely troubles with the company solution. For instance, a worthwhile offer could briefly swamp a modest organization with as well quite a few consumers, risking a probability that consumers will be dissatisfied, or that there won't be sufficient product to meet the desire from clients. Gap, a big garments retailer, was prepared to consider care of 445,000 coupon codes in a countrywide deal (however it expert server troubles at 1 stage), but a scaled-down sized business could expand to be out of the blue flooded with customers. 1 espresso store in Portland, Oregon struggled with an increase in consumers for 3 months, when it purchased shut to one,000 Groupons on the a single day it was supplied, in accordance to one report. In reaction to equivalent problems, Groupon officers position out that 'deal' subscriptions ought to be capped in progress to a affordable quantity.
