Hey! Thanks EDS for your speedy delivery! =D came right in time for my sports meet where the sun was blistering blistering hot!

Anyway, the skinceuticals gentle foaming cleanser I ordered is really good. Removes whatever "gunk" on my face really well. I'd like to know though, when it says apply a small amount, how much is that exactly. It foams up from the liquid form so I don't really know whether its a bit of the liquid form, or a bit of the foam form. If i use just a bit of the foam form, about half a pump, it seems to be to little as it "defoams" very fast and theres not much to go around. If i pump one full time, theres q alot of foam and it cleans up well BUT it seems to use up alot according to the marking on the bottle. so how much exactly? Please tell me =)

Also, i got a sample of the Vit C Serum 20! I'd like to know if its ok to use on skin which has spots. Will it break me out? Also, my skin is a little red on the cheeks i think due to previous acne marks, will using it help? How many drops do i put?

Srry for asking so many questions! But once again, i must say EDS is really great. My next order will def be from here.

One more thing before i leave =p

I MUST SAY, the skinceuticals sunscreen (ultimate uv defence spf 30) is great. upon application, it might be greasy but it kinda soaks into skin after a while. If not, powder over it and it'll be find. oh yes, one more thing! The jane iredale pressed mineral base is reaally reaaally great too! Does not run when i sweat, superb superb superb.

Oh well, sorry if it seems i'm gushing. well i am! hehe. but just really really glad! Thank you!!!

I use a full pump of the foaming cleanser. you're right that half is too little....

Serum 20 can be used by oily/acne skin. I use the 10 because my skin is sensitive and can dry out easily. I think I may have gottten a couple zits from it to start with b/c it is an antioxidant, but nothing too serious, and nothing that lasted long.

tynkerbell - the vitamin C serum should be fine to use, although, as with any product, there is always a chance of a breakout I suppose. I've never had any problems with any of the vitamin C serums I've tried. The vit C serum should actually help with the post-acne scarring as it does help heal the skin. In fact, I have found that using a vitamin C serum in combination with the Dermalogica Microfolicant seems to fade my post-blemish redness faster.

There are people that believe that toner is essential (restores pH of the skin and gets rid of any last traces of dirt etc) and there are those that don't. I don't think it's critical to use toner but I use it anyway because I like how my skin feels after I use it Smile

Tynkerbell-
Your skin sounds a little combination-ish: mine is generally oily but sometimes feels dry. Many here would recommend a homemade apple cider vinegar toner, but at the moment I am using thalgo pure radiance tonic lotion, which i am impressed with. It is not drying like other ones but is designed for combination skin. This and the pure radiance cleanser by Thalgo I am very impressed with, although i now need something to control the oiliness.
Am going off track tho! I am going to try the appple cider toner after I finish this one, but I have to say I am very impressed with it.

Hope this helps a bit
