Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Having worked Plastic Surgery for several years, I know the cost & ingredients that go into making a lot of the products that I had become accustomed to getting for free for many years. After leaving the industry I simply couldn't stomach paying full price for pharmaceutical grade skin care products but knew I had to have them. I had to become resourceful. My buddies in the industry were sweet enough to give me their discount but now I know even a 50% off discount can't compare to what I've discovered: 1) I've learned that I can buy my RX retinoids, Latisse & Hydroquinnone from "All Day Chemist" in India or super cheap! 2) Cleanser has one job, to clean- use Cetaphil. (This has always been my mantra) 3) I can make my one Hylauronic Acid (by Bulk Supplements) for pennies on the dollar. It pisses me off that Skin Ceuticals charged $55 for their "Hydrating B5 Gel". Now I know it only cost them, maybe, at most $5 to make theirs. 4) Vitamin C Serums (L-Ascorbic acid by Bulk Supplements) that cost easily $100 can be made for next to nothing. I KNOW the smells & feel of the "name brand" products- the active ingredients are the same. It's the active ingredients that work- the rest is fluff. "Fluff" to your own preferences with oils you like. It's science. You can be your own Chemist thanks to Bulk Supplements, In fact, your vitamin-C will be even fresher!! 5) COq10 (by Bulk Supplements) is a remarkable anti-oxidant, Prevage-MD is sold in Dr's offices & contains the same active ingredients. Prevage is even a weaker form of CoQ-10 sold at Macy's for $100. Make it yourself with Bulk Supplement CoQ10 for pennies. 5) Niacinamide- a powerful nutrient does AMAZING things for the skin (research it) & is the active ingredient in MANY expensive skin care products. One great expensive line sold in MD offices is "Nia 24" The ENTIRE line is based on the active ingredient of Niacin. Niacinamide, is another product you can buy through Bulk Supplements. When made into a recipe, each pack yields about a year or more of product. Most product you mix with distilled water or oils. It's ridiculous the amount of money saved & the quality of which you can make at home. There are several websites dedicated to DIY (do-it-yourself) recipes. P.S. Do NOT be cheap on sunscreen. Always buy & wear a good quality UVA/UVB Broad Spectrum sunscreen everyday. It's still the cheapest & most effective beauty treatment you can buy no matter your age.
