Thank you, Karen! And recommendation questions

I got my order two days ago, and I love everything, but especially the skin care items. My skin feels AMAZING lately, and is already starting to look better too. I have been using natural skin care for awhile, but this has really kicked it up a notch. Previously, I was using an HA and an oil for my moisturizer, and a 2% lactic acid gel to exfoliate. I got the 8% AHA because my skin seemed to really like the 2% lactic acid gel, but it was very mild (good when you're new to chemical exfoliants). Wow, the extra 6% makes a big difference! My skin just looks so... fresh! I also got the 2% BHA, and I've alternated one night of AHA, one night of BHA, and then one night off. The combination off the two seems too be pretty great, at least initially. Great for ingrown hairs which I'm prone to as well!

I also got the oatmeal hydrating serum which is amazing, and the raspberry and hemp moisturizers. I love them both! I use raspberry during the day for the extra sun protection, and the hemp at night. I'll be buying full sizes of all of these items soon.

Now to the recommendations part... I'm thinking of the Kiss cleanser. I do have skin that leans to the combination/dry side of the spectrum though--will it dry me out?

Are there any other "must have" skin care items? For reference, I'm very fair with combination/dry skin, and fairly young (24). Thanks to being on accutane, my skin is decently well behaved, but I want glowing, smooth skin. I sometimes get blackheads and whiteheads, and I think the BHA/AHA is really helping with that. When I do get a zit though, it seems to take forever for the redness to go away. The zit will clear up in a few days, but I'll be left with a red mark that slowly fades over time. I'd love to speed up the process--again, I'm pretty sure the AHA/BHA will help with that, but let me know if there's an awesome product I'm missing.

On the KISS cleanser....if ever there were a time of the year you would have issue with it causing dryness, it is now since you are headed into winter. I do think the foamer keeps the amount of the cleanser used low, and preps that amount small amount to be more easily usable. All I can suggest is a sample, and use a foamer if you can get your hands on one.

As far as suggesting more......I would probably stick with what you are using for a while.....just to see if it works before you throw more variables into the works. I think there might be some more skincare goodies coming out in the Holiday Collection. The only other thing might be a mask......I just used the Oatmeal, Milk, and Honey the other day, and I need more!!! It is my winter/dry skin mask of choice.
