Avalon Organics, Vitamin C Refreshing Cleansing Gel, 8.5 fl oz
Ladies, if you're like me you are influenced by marketing no matter how hard you resist and also think that expensive is better (Kiehls, Lancome, etc). I have done some serious research (30's, beginning lines, olive skin, avoiding sun to stay young looking) about best ingredients. Can't beat retinol, apple stem cells (try Eclos, Mychelle) and Vitamin C (philosophy even markets vitamin C powder to add to all your creams, gels serums). I started buying cruelty free products ONLY about a year ago and was unhappy initially giving up some of my favorite brands and stumbled across this one day. I decided to try it - I use it (gel) with my Clairsonic and have to say it's amazing. I mean it's not botox in a bottle but it works well with clairsonic and makes my skin fresh and clean so that the toner soaked cotton ball is basically clean afterwards. I like it even better than clinique or origins and that's saying a lot. It's worth every penny. If you want to know more about cruelty free products (and I encourage this both for animals and the sake of your skin) try mybeautybunny.com, be nice to bunnies, or go to your local whole-foods for starters. If you wouldn't eat parabens or waxes why on earth would you clean your face or body with them? If this was 30.00 I'd pay it. Enjoy!
