Don't be fooled by the big magazines recommendations. The reason is simple, Big Name Cleanser pays your favorite magazine big bucks to place ads and dive them plugs in articles. On the internet there are people who are very passionate about their subject. If you want an honest description of a product the smart choice would be to consult a skin care blog for answers.

Avoid rushing or impatience, your skin products require sufficient time to do the job. You'll look in vain for that miracle product that gives results in a day, or less. To be fair, use a product for several weeks or more before you decide it doesn't work. That's enough time to see if break-outs have decreased or the product if performing well. You can drop it and try something new, if necessary. Most people need to give several products a go before finding the perfect one.
Learn what makes one skin product better than another. Take a look at the function of each ingredient in a skin care line. Once you know these things you can just look at a label and tell if a product can help you. You will know that for breakouts you will choose something with salicylic acid. Someone whose skin is usually pretty clear can almost always make do with a cleanser that does not contain this ingredient. For people whose skin is easily burned by the sun then something with sunscreen would be a logical choice.
For those with tough skin you don't have to be as concerned with ingredients as those with sensitive skin. There are creative ways to go about learning which skin products are best for your skin type. You can always find people who have no problems with their skin, and they can use almost anything. But there are many of us who need just a little helping hand. Be patient and dog it - in no time you'll know what skin products work for you and which ones you want to avoid.
