Rosebud,

Your list looks good if it were me I'd get everything!

I have used and liked everything in your list except for the last 2, and so I'm a fat lot of help here Bad Grin

I quit using Sothys because other things from other lines caught my eye...and then I found Dermalogica and stayed on with it, though now I'm liking Decleor.

I'd get the Oxyliance mask probably. I think I have tried the foaming cleanser and thought it was ok. I used up a whole tube of desquacrem and thought it was effective but not as good as using the Dr Hauchka cleansing cream. It's something you'd need to use in the shower as well because without the steam it doesn't really seem to do much.

My fave products from Sothys are the Hydroptimale Gel and Noctuelle night cream. They had some serious plumping-up powers on my skin!

I've got the Purifying Foaming Gel but after trying it out a couple of times I won't be touching it again. It left my skin feeling very dry.
Still, you have to bear in mind that my skin reacts strangely to gel cleansers. Even though my skin is oily it just doesn't tolerate gel formulas at all. They always seem to strip my skin dry. Sad

Toe I have a feeling that I would have the same problems using the Gel Foaming Cleanser, when I think about it Gels have always dried my skin out too.

Mabsy I think the Oxyliance mask may be on my list and Pumpingmummy your just a bad influence encouraging me Laughing

Thankyou for the feedback Very Happy

Rosebud, are you re-thinking your use of Dr H products and/or your homemade concoctions?

Btw, what is "Desquacrem"?

Amnis Laughing
Oh no I love all my Dr Hauschka and my homemade products more than anything else.
I just like to try new things once in a while Embarassed and a friend offered to purchase some Sothys abroad for me, so I thought why not try it Laughing
I just know it won't be a patch on the Dr Hauschka Rolling Eyes

I am not sure myself what Desquacrem is, some kind of deep cleansing mask but from what I have read the Dr Hauscka Cleansing Cream does a better job.

I really like Sothys. I've been on it for more than a year now and I'm currently on the purfying range with the active cream and don't have any complaints. I have the same skin as rosebud and it's been really good to me.

Even though it does not completely block the oil production I am oil free for a few hours but I guess it wouldn't be healthy if it stopped it completely. My skin is softer and it has reduced my acne.

Thumbs up for Sothys! Smile

Also, I've been using the Gommage Exfoliant. It makes your skin very soft once you get it all off, but it can be quite messy when you're working with it.

I don't mind it actually but I'm just so lazy to use it regularly. Had the same tube for over a year now Smile.
