I've been using Cosmedix clean, cruelty-free skincare products for over 15 years now. Their brand statement is: Gentle, effective, and safe skincare solutions ideal for all skin types, tones and concerns. It was developed by aestheticians so you know it's good stuff. I used to think this brand was expensive, but I now know it's totally worth it (and really isn't all that expensive, but I started when I was young, so I was naive and more interested in beer money). What matters most is that Cosmedix products work. I used to have acne but these products quickly cleaned that up, without drying it out. Now, years later, I still use their stuff, but just not the acne targeting products. They're all very effective at what you're targeting without sacrificing something else in return (i.e. get rid of acne but end up with dry skin; or target dryness and end up with a shiny oil-slick of a face). As you can see in my photos, I use so many different items, and also have additionals on back-up. It's just so good. And they always send you a samples with every order, too. They supply many spas with their product, so if you ever want to try before you buy, look on their website for a spa near you.
