I am using Modern Friction by Origins. After scrub it's giving the polished look where skin feels much more smoother and clear. On a more gentle basis, I use Kiehl's Pineapple and Papaya Scrub.

I have oily t-zone and been using Nutritious
Purifying 2-in-1 Foam Cleanser (Estee Lauder) since mid of last year. The foam is very fine and creamy, and after washing will not feel tight or dry. I learned to stay away from those cleansers which are strong (usually for oily skins). You will feel clean after washing but not for long the face tends to feel dry, as a result more facial oil is produced.

For toner, I am using Optimizer Pore Minimizing Boosting Lotion (Estee Lauder). Its a bit like gel in a very watery form. Face feeling relaxed and hydrated after applied.

For moisturiser, I am using Hydra Complete Multi-Level Moisture Lotion (Estee Lauder). It's very light and non oily. The thing i noticed is after using this moisturiser, my face is evenly hydrated, no more oily skin where I can fry an egg with it ;-D

That's the basic 3 steps I am using. Got other products also am using now (from Estee too) but lazy to review ;-p

Prior this am using Clarins Men and Biotherm Men, but not satisfied with the products. For me skin care products can be for men / for ladies, as long as the result is good then it's the one that I will be using.

Yes i'm aware that Kiehl's is owned by L'Oreal, but I thought that after 100 years of skin care, they wouldnt simply trash their good products away, hence I was wondering if it will be good to try but since from your experience its just an average felt lazy to try =p... as for the Origins mask, I'm also finding for something with the tight feeling after the mask dries... so perhaps I'll pass on that too, ok I'll continue finding some good clay mask...

While i was browsing for some mask, i've also stumble upon aesops liquid hydrator, something similar to Shiseido's hydrating lotion, but with more natural ingredients, oil free hydrating serum that is, for 100ml it retails for 63 AUD. Wonder how much it is over here...ever tried that? The crazy thing is it even comes with a pipet LOL... Almost like some chemical Reagen bottle concept.

Currently I am using Kiehl's Acai Damage Minimising Cleanser and Acai Damage Protecting Toner Mist for 3 days. Reason I bought was attracted to the all 100% natural origin smile.gif

The cleanser is just right for my combination skin, no dry feeling after wash and face is clean with no residue. Loving the citrusy smell.

As for the toner, after a few spray to the face directly, it is very cooling. By the way, I can see improvement in skin clarity after using both cleanser and toner. My facial oil tends to reduce but no over drying effect smile.gif

Does anyone have any recommended online sites to buy facial products? Like shipping from overseas but it is much cheaper than buying it here.

Try cult beauty. My favourite skincare brand is Youth To The People.
