That said, I'm excited, so I wanted to post and share my initial thoughts.Most excited about:Stratia Liquid Gold and Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin Cream! I've been wanting to try these for a while, but just could not justify spending the money. So far both have honestly lived up to the hype for me. I did not do a good job of following smart advice and immediately started using both without patch testing. :) Both of these are products designed for moisture barrier repair, and both advertised as being ceramide heavy (both products being some of the few that do not use only the minimum amount possible of the SK-influx, although the actual impact of the ceramides in these products is still not very clear)I am completely in love with the LG. I can understand the cult following. It is very light and thin, maybe somewhere between a serum and a lotion consistency. It immediately feels soothing, hydrating, and moisurizing. I'm not sure how to explain it, but my face feels happy! I also love the packaging and airless pump, and a single pump is enough to cover my face. I have to resist using more because I seriously just want to slather this on my face! It does not leave me oily or greasy at all. It is fully absorbed and dries down completely matte on my dry skin.I'm also really amped about the Ceramidin Cream so far! It is very thick and almost balmy. It is scented, and I find it strong at application but pretty short lasting (important for me because I'm sensitive to scents and tend to get headaches from anything strongly perfumed-- fortunately my skin isn't terribly sensitive to them). This is the first product that I have used that is heavy enough to leave my face feeling completely moisturized but doesn't leave it greasy or oily. I am able to use a little more than a pea sized amount for my whole face. The other heavy duty moisturizers I've used are Eucerin Advanced Repair Lotion and LRP's Lipikar Balm AP+ (I like them both, but so far this is clearly superior and more useable every day). This really gives me the feeling of having "normal skin" and seriously reduced dryness and flakiness almost immediately.I am still worried about both products causing breakouts. After only a few days I can't say too much, but if anything my skin is looking clearer. No increased congestion or anything so far. Again, my skin is dry and dehydrated, and it's not particularly acne prone, so this may not be the case for everyone-- I have the type of skin these products seem most recommended for. I do not think either product will be game changing for anyone with skin that is easily kept hydrated and moisturized-- I think many of people who review these products and feel that they are no different from any other moisturizer fall in this category.The rest:Haven't tried the Dr. Jart+ Vital Hyrdra Solution yet. I hate face masks because you only get one use out of them, but this is well reviewed and I'm looking forward to giving it a try!The Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment hasn't wowed me. My biggest complaint is the same one I have with most face makeup type products: it looks terrible on any dry patches. I am still really struggling to keep my skin dry patch free, and most products end up making my skin look much worse because of that (highlighting gross flakes that weren't even visible before). I'm still experimenting with how to use it, so we'll see, but I doubt I will repurchase (especially considering the price point). Coverage is light, and it's completely unusable for anyone without a very fair skin tone. The SPF part is nice.The Burt's Bees Pomegranate Moisurizing Lip Balm is an oldy but a goodie! Can't go wrong with it as an everyday chapstick. I do prefer Aquaphor when my lips are in real trouble. And the Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream is just eh to be honest. It is a bunch of oils in beeswax, so nothing ground breaking. It's okay layered over a heavy hand cream, but I feel like it just sits there and doesn't absorb when I apply it on my dry cuticles.
