Selecting Skin Products to Prevent and Correct for Acne-Prone Skin

[Saja’s letter appeared Saturday.]

In closing, Saja said …

I have done some research and according to the info and reviews on the web came up with a list of creams that I think might be suitable for my [combination skin]. However I keep worrying that they are too strong for me to use at this [young] age. I would really appreciate your input.

Saja’s pick list follows. I’ve added a thumb up or down symbol to indicate whether the product would be a good anti-aging choice for combination or acne prone skin. As Saja rightly pointed out, many skin anti-aging products are very rich and may aggravate acne prone skin.

Let me stress that a thumbs down symbol does NOT mean the product isn’t a terrific anti-aging product – only that it contains oil and/or is probably too rich for oily skin.

Face Creams:


Baltic Collagen Gel/Cream

L'Occitane Immortelle Precious Cream & Serum

Bliss Youth as We Know it Cream – Read my review here.

Peter Thomas Roth Mega Rich Intensive Anti-Aging Cellular Crème – Here’s my review of PTR MegaRich Eye Crème which is on my Top Ten Skin Anti-Aging Product List.

Peter Thomas Roth Radiance Oxygenating Serum

Saja’s is a pretty long list! Please come back for the rest tomorrow.
