While Christmas shopping with my Mom, she bought me the intro kit so that I could try it out and see if it worked for me. I talked to one of the Benefit salesgirls while I was there and after having her feel my skin, she said the next time I saw her I had better be using the hell out of the set.
I had cystic acne quite badly as a teenager. I also have oily skin, which as any girl with oily skin knows, we hate it and think it's a pain in the butt! But the fact that it will help our skin when we're older is a slight consolation. My acne has pretty much disappeared, but I do have scarring (not too bad). I also seem to have combination oily/dry skin.
For years I have been using scrub after scrub trying to slough my skin clean and soft, found that most moisturizers just left my skin feeling sticky and even more oily and overall, was mostly dissatisfied with every product I came into contact with. And believe me, I have tried TONS! ProActive, Murad, Acne Free, Chanel, Dermatalogica, Aveeno, Neutrogena, etc, ETC
But finally, FINALLY I have found the ONE! The first time I washed my face with the Foamingly Clean Facial Wash I could instantly feel a difference. My skin didn't feel dry and tight afterwards and when I rubbed my fingertip down my cheek I was awestruck at how smooth and soft my skin felt.
All these months I've been thinking that the only thing that would begin to redeem the texture of my skin was a painful microdermabrasion session or even a glycolic acid peel. I am so happy to not have to waste the time, money or slight pain when I can simply wash my face and see results instantly at home.
I also found when using this that gently scrubbing/rinsing it off with a slightly rough cotton washcloth helps with skin texture too. For years I've been using harsh beaded scrubs or loofah like face sponges. If only I'd known before it was as simple as using a cotton washcloth. Why must we always over-complicate things? haha
After using the Foamingly Clean Facial Wash, you move on to the Moisture Prep Toning Lotion. This is an all new type of toner. All the toners I have ever used before were like rubbing water on my face, but Benefits toner is a lotion. It has a consistency to it and it feels wonderful when you rub it in. I think the toner is my favorite of the set so far.
Next comes moisturizing and lately I've been using the Triple Performing Facial Emulsion during the day as it is oil-free and has SPF 15, the Total Moisture and It's Potent Eye Cream at night.
It used to be that by the evening my skin would feel oiled up, but irritatingly dry. Now my skin feels so perfectly moisturized all the time now.
Honestly, I could go on and on about how awesome and how much I love Benefits B.Right! Skincare, but until you give it a try, you won't know at all what you're missing. If you don't have a Benefit near you, Ulta also has a dedicated Benefit counter where there are always incredibly nice and helpful ladies who can show you products and help point you in the right direction if you have a particular issue.
