Prescriptives Flawless Skin Makeup

January 8, 2009 By Carleenp Leave a Comment

I am big fan of Prescriptives Makeup and their huge range of shades. If you have not previously been color typed by them, head over to a Prescriptives counter and try them out. The people there can match you with the perfect shade of foundation.

Prescriptives Flawless Skin Total Protection Makeup is one of my favorites. This foundation contains ingredients to protect against environmental skin damage and has SPF 15 sunscreen. It is also oil free.

I really like the feel of Prescriptives Flawless Skin makeup. It is light, and although oil free, it does not feel dry. Coverage is in the medium range. This is one of my preferred foundations for days when I think I will get a bit of sun and still need to be fairly made up.

Prescriptives Px Vibrant-C Skin Brightening Lotion Moisturizer

February 7, 2008 By Carleenp 1 Comment

Many people think of foundation when they think of Prescriptives, and they do indeed have great foundation. I highly recommend getting color matched if you have not done so before!

But Prescriptives also makes some great skin care items in their Px line. I have previously used their skin tone correcting serum, which I think is now discontinued, and I love the PX intensive Rebuilding Moisturizer.

Based on my past good experiences, I was pretty happy to have the chance to try out Prescriptives Px Vibrant-C Lotion. This light moisturizer reminds me quite a bit of the skin brightening serum, which also focused on Vitamin C, except that it comes in a lotion form. The product has a good vitamin C tingle, which if anything like past Prescriptives Vitamin C products, should be fairly stable and do a decent job of actually brightening the skin and lightening mild melasma or hyperpigmentation. Because it is a moisturizer, it also can be used nicely over other skin lightening serums for creating a combination approach to melasma treatment. For example, I have been using it over my favorite treatment cleanser and serum from PCA Skin Care. It makes for a very nice combination, especially if you like using both serums and lotions.

As a light lotion moisturizer, Vibrant-C also stands out. I found that it absorbed quickly and completely, with only a small amount needed to get the desired effect of adding some light moisture. I suspect that I will be purchasing more of this product when the bottle that I was sent is empty.

Prescriptives has also added a skin brightening moisture cream to the line if you need a higher amount of moisture. They offer a skin brightening eye cream as well. Prescriptives can be found online at various department stores. For example, I usually get their products at Macys.

I also am trying Prescriptives Intensive Rebuilding Moisture-Rich Cleanser. So keep an eye out for a future post on that!
