Anastacia: it really is a vey pretty color.

ohmypetticoat: you’re welcome. Hypoallergenic products aren’t bad, it’s just that they aren’t safer as comapnies want people to believe. It’s important to always check out the ingredients list to be sure the product doesn’t contain substances that can cause problems for your skin.

Citrine: I’m sorry to hear that. I seen this claim on some high-end products too but I usually take no notice of it and just scan the ingredients list. I can’t believe that companies can get away with making such false claims and make money off people that buy products genuinely thinking they’re better for the skin only to found out they’re not and still have breakouts of irritations. The use of teh term should be rgulated, if not prohibited, soon.

Dao: I always check ingrdient lists and prefer fragrance-free products when possible. That’s the best way to make sure the products won’t cause any problem for your skin. I have to say that I’m a bit skeptical about the non-comedogenic claim though. It’s true that these products are less likely to cause blackheads etc. But there are just so many ingredients that can clog pores and eveyone’s skin is different and it’s impossible to be sure that a product is non-comedogenic for everyone. But they’re still the best products to use if you oily or acne prone skin as the chances of them causing breakouts are much more slimmer.

Danielle: You’re so right and I couldn’t agree with you more! I never take any notice of all these claims as they are just false advertising and I’m appalled that companies can get away with it.
