I want / I can: Girls about replacing means out of production
Today, the cosmetic market is continually reinventing formats and compositions, and new items on the shelves appear almost every day. But even in the conditions of total diversity, we have pets that we don’t want to part with. And when the manufacturer removes the tool from the sale, you have to put up with the breakup and look for a replacement. Five girls talked about their favorite skin care products, which are no longer available, and their successful stand-ins.

Out of production: Payot Lotion Tonique Fraicheur Tonique Cranberry Toning Lotion
instead of him: Payot Lotion Tonique Reveil Raspberry Toning Lotion, 1425 rub.
For several years my masthead in the evening care was this tonic with cranberries. Everything is good in it: an exfoliating option to complete the purification, pink color, the aroma of berries, an hourglass bottle with a pump dispenser. Every time the tonic ended, I invariably bought it myself - five cans for sure. Once again, looking into the store for a new bottle, I learned that the brand decided to remove the lotion from the production. I remember well how upset, because we are already so used to each other. But here
Payot informed the good news that a novelty is coming out - a tonic with raspberries.
I like raspberries even more cranberries, so now it’s the main berry in the bathroom. As part of the tonic extracts of raspberry and pineapple - together they activate the process of cell regeneration and dry inflammation. Due to the absence of alcohol and the presence of hyaluronic acid in the composition, it is suitable for all skin types, even for my dry skin. I use mostly in the evening and take a deep breath before applying. Still, a pleasant aroma - a tangible bonus in cosmetics.

Out of production: Intensive Regenerating Lip Balm Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant
instead of him: Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask Lip Balm, 592 rub.
Balm gave me a friend. He almost immediately became a favorite, and I bought it a couple more times on Lookfantastic, until the tool was withdrawn from sale, breaking my heart. It has a light gel-like texture and eucalyptus scent. Shea butter, honey and fatty acids are well nourished, the balm moisturized and healed small cracks. I applied it at night and woke up with my lips without dryness and other "joys" brought by the Baltic wind. Balsam can sometimes be found in duty-free, but I don't travel often, therefore
I found him a worthy replacement. Korean Laneige has not yet reached the Russian offline, but it can be found on eBay and in other online stores. It is called a night mask, but in fact it is a balm. It smells delicious berries, the texture is a bit sticky, but for me it is not critical. I apply not only before going to bed, but in the morning, about ten minutes before the makeup, so that the lips are moist, and the lipstick is easily applied and not dried.
By the way, those who do not like to smear the balm on the lips with their fingers will surely like that the kit includes a convenient silicone-tipped applicator. The composition of this product is more serious than the previous one: in addition to natural oils, waxes and extracts, hyaluronic acid and beta glucans are here for skin elasticity. I can not say that the funds are one hundred percent identical in composition and texture, but both perfectly cope with their task - they nourish and moisturize lips that are terribly tired of frost.

Out of production: Face Booster Perricone MD Cold Plasma
instead of him: Face booster Perricone MD Cold Plasma + Face, 18 150 rub.
Perricone MD seems to have everything for a direct and quick hit to the high-recommendation. A celebrity dermatologist and celebrities themselves in the role of his fans - there is. Design, flirting with something from the field of medicine and science, is also available. The prices of the American brand are made to dream of the unattainable. I did not even have to dream - the "plasma" was sent to the test. It sounds magical, but in fact it smells
harsh reality. According to the official version, it was a “sea scent”, in my opinion - sturgeon of the second freshness, like that of Bulgakov. Yes, doroguschy serum (and in a jar it was she) smells like a fish market at the end of the working day. It smells even through a closed jar in a closed cardboard box. I was able to hold the “plasma” on my face for ten minutes, after which I retreated to the bathroom. The bank went to a more stable friend, but I still wanted to appreciate the benefits of this product promised by the brand.
Representatives of the brand explained that the specific odor is due to omega-fatty acids in the composition, which is obtained from fish of salmon species. They are used by many, but I can’t imagine why Dr. Perrykon didn’t add a bucket of lemon juice to the composition - that’s the fish’s taste, and the smell wouldn’t be so nightmarish. After reading the blogs, I was convinced that it was not about individual tolerance. Apparently, the complaints reached the addressee. The brand has released a new "plasma". To this, omega-3/6/9 added several different peptides (peptides are good), but the main thing is rosemary essential oil (with fish, it goes well too, by the way). The enemy was eliminated, and I had a chance to check the product without fear. "Plasma" does not lie, but honestly corrects everything at once: wrinkles, enlarged pores, dull and uneven tone. I would not buy it for my own money, there are less “heavy-duty” alternatives, but it’s still nice that Dr. Perricon heard my prayers.

out of production: TonyMoly Floria Pore-Tightening Cream
Instead of him: Night fluid with SOD Angel Lab, from 1400 rub.
I became an adept in natural cosmetics recently, but I acted with acne for a very long time. To help the skin cope with inflammation, I used TonyMoly cream with an active but dubious composition. I applied it before bedtime, and in the morning the skin looked noticeably better: the pores were smaller, the tone was smoother, and the moisture was palpable. In addition to the narrowing of the pores, the cream provided comprehensive care for oily skin, there were also bonuses - for example, it lightened pigmentation and soothed redness. Everything is wonderful except
impressive set of ingredients prohibited by eco-cosmetics standards.
Immersed in the world of natural products, I found an alternative. The fluid of the Russian brand Angel Lab is also the lightest fat-free consistency, which is instantly absorbed. But the effectiveness is many times greater than the cream TonyMoly. And most importantly, he has an ethical composition. Of the active ingredients are probiotics and prebiotics, as well as the antioxidant enzyme SOD (superoxide dismutase). The fluid eliminates pigmentation, including post-acne, has anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory effects. Important for oily skin bonus - "cascading" hydration of different depths and intensities.

Out of production: Body scrub Kiehl's Creme de Corps Soy Milk and Honey Body Polish
Instead of him: Body Scrub Thalgo Exotic Island Body Scrub, 4730 rub.
Unfortunately, I rarely see body scrubs that make the skin really smooth and do not cause allergies and irritations. For example, after coffee, I had to drink medicine the next day. Once a friend gave me a Kiehl's scrub for March 8th. I liked it so much that I registered in my bathroom for a long time, I bought it three or four times more. Almost everything was perfect in it: from the minimalist packaging for which the brand is famous, to the "sweet" composition (honey, soy
milk, jojoba oil). Although the product was not very carefully cleaned, it left the skin smooth and tender, smelling light, not cloying aroma. My happiness lasted for several years, until the scrub was taken out of production. The brand has other similar products, but I decided to try something new.
In Helene Manasir's instagram I read about the white sand Thalgo scrub from the island of Bora Bora, sea salt and coconut shell. They gave me the first jar, I bought the second one myself. From the pleasant differences - it is not an example of more thoroughly cleanses the skin and, despite the abundance of small particles, does not scratch it at all. The remedy, like Kiehl's, perfectly nourishes and moisturizes the skin of the body. In winter it is especially valuable. It smells like coconut and vanilla - a pleasant, but not cloying combination.
