H2O Plus

Full review
I have been a fan of H2O's products for years now. The philosophy of the company is to use only water based skin care products, a necessity for people like me who are prone to breakouts. I don't have time to spend hours in the bathroom every morning nor am I a girlie girl so I like a regimen that is quick easy and effective.

Previously, I have been forced to stock up everytime I am in NYC. With the easy to navigate site, I can now happily shop from home. the site also helps you locate stores in your region which I recommend to test the products yourself. The site is easy on the eyes (no flashing banners or harsh colors). Definately a soothing, unpretentious experience.

The products I use include the smoothing facial cleanser ($19.50 for 5.7 fl oz, lasts me 6 to 8 weeks) a great gentle cleanser that exfoliates and cleans deeply. I also swear by their marine daily hydrator ($23.00 for 4 fluid oz). I actually keep this oil free lotion in my bathroom, kitchen, purse, and car. It really revitalizes my skin. On rare days, I also use their mineral mud masks and foot scrubs.

I admit that I have found their line of bath and shower products to be too fragrant, especially in their bath exotics line. Flavors like raspberry guava and tango mango just don't suit me and my lifestyle. I have tried their line of "milk" products (shampoos, conditioners, and body scrubs) and have found them to be a little too indulgent for me.

For those who shop the retail makeup counters, the prices are reasonable. The customer service section provides most of the answers to questions about shipping and charges, wrapping and gift certificates.
