She has been so adamant in the past that anti-aging products don't work to reduce wrinkles, but now it seems like she's pushing the same types of products! How do you take all of this?Have you read more/done more research into the line?

I think we could write a book between us on our skin woes! As you know, I have very similar skin to yours and I'm also trying to phase-out some of my Paula's Choice products for the same reason. I have a feeling I'll never be able to part with the PC toner and the daytime moisturizer though. I am looking forward to trying that Dove cleanser. I'm also hooked on Eucerin face moisturizer, if anyone else is interested. It's a light texture, but it sure does the trick for my dry skin. Thanks for the very detailed post!

It's not 'hydro' it's 'aqua'....Aqualia Thermal is the cream I have. There is also a riche formula, that the girl suggested I might want to try in the winter, but the one 'light' one I have right now is sufficient. I was wrong.

How else to draw us dry-skinned people in? Haha! I am interested to know the name of it, though, so I can scout it out at the drugstore... Sheri, of course the word “hyrdo” is in the name!

And, I have scaled back on the foundation-wearing, too, and don't wear it on weekends. When I put it on during the week, I go from the centre of my face outward, as light I can to get coverage, because I have found that I don't actually need foundation all over my entire face for my skin tone to look even. With my new routine, I have definitely noticed less action around the "good old chin area" and I'm thankful for it because it's my prime picking spot, and I, too, need the entire night for it to recover from the insane redness! Haha! What concealer do you use? Right now I use Paula's Choice Soft Cream Concealer in Soft Ivory. Kaylee, it’s always two or three pimples at a time – never one!!
