What do you all use on your face? I recieved a free sample of Olay Total effect....I have always been happy with my mosturiser but I took a chance since it was free.....well I have fallen in love with it...it made my skin just look great, I had a 7 day supply, well I went to Walmart yesterday and looked into purchasing it...OH MY GOODNESS.... it was $17.88 a bottle, like for only 3 oz...yikes...now what...LOL....I guess I am back to Nutragena....which is good, but this stuff was GREAT...maybe I can write Olay for coupons.....why is the good stuff always so expensive...LOL :lol:

I pay more, but I don't think that just because something cost more it is better, it really depends on how your skin reacts to it. If you really like it, Renee, and feel like it is doing good, and you can budget it in, go for it.

I use Nivea Visage CoEnzyme Q10 Wrinkle Control lotion with SPF 15. I used a plain Oil of Olay face lotion prior to trying this. I can't remember the cost off hand. I'm thinking something like 10+$ for 3 oz? so far I like it but I'll probably give something else a try. If you really like the new lotion, I'd budget it in.

If you really like it - go for it! We all deserve to treat ourselves! :) (btw - the Mary Kay I get is a 4 oz bottle.)

If it really works for you, I'd buy it. But to buy a more expensive brand thinking it must be better is often not the case. Cheap stuff works for me, but not everyone. So go for it. I use other items that are more expensive, but I always give the cheap stuff a try first.

I am with kat. I always buy the cheapest first and then go up in price from there. As for you, if you like it and it works then treat yourself a little if you can budget it in. If you feel better then you will be happier, and then everyone wins. (not that I am saying that you are not happy now) I hope that you know what I mean and don't take offence to that.

I use Mary Kay. I've tried a few other's but they weren't half as good and always ended up back with Mary Kay... I don't even bother tyring anything new/different anymore. :)
