5 Great Cleansers That Put Acne in Its Place
Oh, acne, you're the bane of my existence, but thanks to ingredients like salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and even sulfur, there's actually hope for zit-zapping and pimple prevention. Over the past week or so, I've been doing some research on some of the best cleansers for different skin types. You may have caught some suggestions for products that help mattify oily skin, along with those that help hydrate dry skin, and now, continuing on with this series, here are five to help provide relief for the acne-prone.
5 Great Cleansers to Moisturize Dry Skin
Perhaps you caught my first installment of great cleansers for different skin types, which focused on the oily-prone, and now it's time to put the spotlight on those of you who experience dry, flaky, and/or patchy skin. I'm guessing that right now, many of you are having a bout with seasonal dryness, but fret no more. I've scoured through our Product Reviews website for some inspiration to dig up five highly rated products.
Reader Review of the Day: Ahava Gentle Body Exfoliator
Dry patches and flaky skin are common complaints during this season, but if you have sensitive skin, the last thing you want to do is use a harsh and heavy body scrub. Enter Ahava Source Gentle Body Exfoliator ($20), reviewed by reader stoopeed. Here's what she had to say:
Though this product didn't really exfoliate a lot (maybe it was too subtle for me), it is one of the best daily body washes I've found.
Reader Review of the Day: Mariah Carey Eau de Parfum Spray
Mariah Carey launched Mariah Carey Eau de Parfum Spray ($42) back in 2007, and if you love gourmand fragrances that aren't too sticky sweet, this fragrance might just be for you. It's an oriental scent containing notes of amber, patchouli, and Morocco incense. Here's what reader MalibuMands had to say about it:
If you like Pink Sugar, Fantasy, Angel, Princess, or Flowerbomb, you need to try M.

Reader Review of the Day: CoverGirl Makeup Masters 3-in-1 Sharpener
I don't know why, but my experiences with lip liner and eyeliner sharpeners have never been what one would call lucky.

Help This Reader Find an Eye Cream
The other day I received an email from a reader looking for a good eye cream, and I thought that instead of just giving her a couple of options I like, I'd open up the floor to all of the eye-stuff experts reading the site. Want to help her out? Then here's what she has to say:
"I'm 25 years old, and I've decided I'd like to finally delve into the world of eye creams (I hope I'm not too late!).
Reader Review of the Day: L'Oréal Sublime Slim Tightening and Toning Treatment Gel
For all the highest rated products on our Product Reviews website, there are also plenty of beauty goods that haven't received the most wonderful of ratings. Take the L'Oréal Sublime Slim Tightening and Toning Treatment Gel ($12), for instance, which claims to both tighten and tone the skin around the abs. Here's what reader Jen4 had to say:
I do not like this product for two reasons.
Reader Review of the Day: Revlon Perfect Heat Professional Ceramic Straightener
Reader clarkbar9 didn't get what she bargained for after using the Perfect Heat Professional Ceramic Straightener ($30) from Revlon, and here's what she had to say:
I purchased this because I had read a review that said it was a great value straightener. I used to have a much more expensive one, so I figured, why not save the money? Well, now I know why.
Reader Review of the Day: Origins Clear Improvement Charcoal Mask
I haven't used Origins Clear Improvement Charcoal Mask ($21) since college, so when I came across reader voxtrotlous's review of the pore- and pimple-clearing treatment, I got all nostalgic. But is it worth the purchase? Find out what today's reviewer had to say below:
It's not a complete dud of a product.
