Inexpensive Facial Products that work better than the Name brands.

I love saving money but I also like to have the latest products that actually work.  The best wrinkle cream that I have found is actually the Walgreens brand.  I did use the Oil of Olay collection but didn't see the results that I wanted.  I was short on money so decided to try the store brand.  It's called Derma/E from Walgreens.  It comes in a 2oz size jar so all of the product can be used.  I never buy any kind of facial treatments or makeup that come in a glass pump style bottle.  Once it's empty, there are  really several more applications inside but you can't get to them.  It's frustrating. 
I always try and get the stuff in the plastic tube, that way when it is empty, you simply cut the end off and use a Q-tip or your finger to scoop out several more days worth.

I have adult acne and I hate it, I have tried everything, literally. I have used Proactive, X-out, and anything over the counter that was available.  Now I am using the store brand Noxema only because it's cheaper than the real stuff. I have used Noxema but the Kroger brand called Clarify deep cleansing skin cream. works better than the real stuff. Same blue plastic jar that we are used to seeing.   I have been using it for 2 weeks now and my face is completely clear.

Everyone needs a good mousterizer and I found the best for less.  We  all know the benefits of vitamin E and even purchase vitamin E filled lotions for face and body. I  just cut out the middle man and buy some cheap vitamin E capsules from Dollar General.  They are inexpensive and you just poke a hole in the capsule and put it where you want it.  I use it under my eyes and on the tops of my hands, people forget how your hand wrinkles add years to your life. This time I happened to be at Kroger so I purchased the store brand called Replenish in a 1oz glass jar.  It is non sticky and absorbs quickly without leaving you greasy. My face has never looked or felt better. I hope this helps and I have more tricks up my sleeve that I will tell you all about later.  If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments.
No photo-shop, I have a zit on my shoulder that you can clearly see, lol.  My face is clear though.   :)
