I have been very happy with the Philosophy skin care line. I was hoping to find a drug store product like Olay or Dove that does what they claim, to try to save a little! Anyone use one they absolutely love?

Is expensive, department store skin care better than cheaper, drug store brands?
I currently use a lot of Fresh skin care and my wallet feels it. I use Crème Ancienne which retails at 5 and other products like the eye cream and sun block with nothing under . More like . It’s insane. Because my crème was made my eunuch monks in a monastery in the Carpathian Mountains I have to pay more for it? Urf.
However, I was taught the more you pay for skincare the better the results. Is that necessarily true? Are the more expensive brands that much better than drugstore kinds? What are your favorite brands on either side of the fence?
Discuss.
I’m serious about the monks. From the Fresh website:
"furthering the legacy of the formula, Fresh has chosen to handcraft Crème Ancienne in remote monasteries in Europe."
Maybe they weren’t eunuchs but I digress. Hrm..can you really get that from a drug store brand?

Which is the best skin care system for me? [acne prone skin] NO PRO-ACTIV please!?
I am 18 years of and of Asian decent (Chinese).
Ever since i was in middle school, i have been using drug store brands for moisturizers, cleasers, creams, etc (olay, dove, clearasil, and the list goes on)
I have oily skin, and a bit of acne. it’s not major – just a few bumps, and it gets worse when i get my period.. thats when i break out the most. I dont really have a specific problem area, the only place I dont get them is on my cheeks. I get pimples quite frequently though.
i’m looking to redo my whole skin care routine with possibly a skin care system?
I know there’s pro-activ but i want to use that as a last resort as i heard 50/50 reviews on it.
Which skin care system do you recommend? I was thinking of AcneFree or Clinique.
Thanks!

Do you ever change skin care products and breakout? or is it just me?
I have been using Lancome for a long time – and of course, it is pretty pricey. So every now and then I say to myself that I want to spend less on skin care products. And sometimes I hear from some magazines / websites that brand names and drug store brands really don’t have much differences… However, everytime I switch to other brands, such as oil of olay, I break out after a couple of weeks – is this normal?

what is the best skin care product you have used?
im looking for a good skin care product. i have a hard time finding anything that works well for me, because i have oily skin, so most stuff just dries out my skin and makes it worse. so yeah, any recommendations are helpful. thanks! =D
i’ve already tried proactive and found that it didn’t help any more than stuff you can buy from the drug store for a wayy cheaper price.
