If the pH of the Ultima is correct (and I recall it to be), it's as strong as the PC, but PC's formulation is nicer. |
I have used olay sensitive foaming and hated it. I really like the neutrogena extra gentle a lot, so I'm sticking with it for now.
I loove that freaking olay lotion, I was in desperate need of some and I didn't want to wait to order from paula (and her moustirizer for dry skin with oily spots was way too drying for me, I sometimes use it at night) and so I just picked it up at albertsons because it was on sale...how amazing was that? I adore it so much.
I've never tried the cetaphil SPF. My mom uses cetaphil cleanser and baking soda for her manual exfoliant (usually before she puts on self-tanner) and she loves it. What's it's ingredient? I am super-wary of zinc oxide or titanium dioxide because my skin is prone to break-outs and I don't need another thing to clog my pores! but unfortunately avobenzone isn't always photostable (
) and can kind of burn if I accidently get it too close to my eyes or if I burn a little by accident and reapply.
I know the pH of the Ultima is good...I also know the PC one is nicer, I think I'll probably order it because I am running out of the ultima...then again, I really like the ultima so I'll probably just use it. I need to upgrade the 2% BHA Lotion in the near future, though..the 1% is working wonders but I think the 2% would perform miracles!
