Anti-Aging Skin Care can be Tricky when you have Oily and/or Sensitive Skin

[See Kristy’s Letter in Monday’s post.]


Peter Thomas Roth for Oily Skin?
I have two Peter Thomas Roth products on my Top Ten Anti-Aging Skin Care List: #1 is Roth Un-Wrinkle; and #2 is Roth Mega Rich Eye Crème.

My special note on Roth Un-Wrinkle says, “Not recommended for oily skin.” If it is the Mega Rich Eye Crème you are considering, it would be a bit of a splurge. On the plus side, Roth is known for avoiding known skin irritants in its products. You’ll find my full review of Roth Mega Rich Eye Crème here.

Since I mentioned the alcohol in Clinique Zero Gravity Repairwear Lift as a negative for you earlier, I should mention that the fifth ingredient in Roth Mega-Rich Eye is Cetyl Alcohol. Then I must hasten to add, Cetyl Alcohol is not related to the drying form of alcohol and is actually a skin moisturizer.

Bottom Line Recommendations for Kristy’s Sensitive Oily Skin

• Any Atopalm products – I think you will be very pleased with these.

• Roth Mega Rich Eye Crème – Apply sparingly to the areas where lines and wrinkles are starting to appear until you can gauge your skin’s reaction.

• Broad spectrum sun protection such as Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch SPF 55 for day.
