No, it's not even close to Josie's. I've been using Josie Maran's 100% certified organic oil for 2 years and it's amazing. This is thicker, yellow, sticky, and smells like fertilizer. The scent eventually dissipates but I could never use it on my face. I think it's not as refined as Josie's. I'm going back to Josie's. It works okay, but more like Vitamin E than argan oil.

I have bought both brands. I think they are pretty close to the same product. More of your preference then anything else.

I use Witch Hazel Alcohol free by Humphreys. It sooths my skin and feel very comfy.

This is 100% pure witch hazel. It is not oily at all but rather like an astringent. It is similar to any witch hazel you might buy at the drug store - however it does not contain any alcohol. I would assume because witch hazel comes from a plant that it would be more water based?

I use it as a toner on my face and neck. If you google uses for witch hazel you will discover it has many uses. I like this particular one because it is alcohol free.

This one has a corn alcohol base and 100% witch hazel. Only two ingredients. It's very good. Doesn't smell as bad as other ones do. No harsh stinging. Works well. I use their facial cleanser too.

Yes it is comparable but I definitely prefer the original in-shower body lotion with shea butter. To me it is a much better product. Love all of Oil of Olay products but this is my favorite.

I cannot say truly....I have not used the blemish & blackhead from St. Ives....only the Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub which is exfoliating...It's GREAT STUFF! I recommend it to anyone! Great price for a great product & gentle on your skin as opposed to spending megabucks on other exfoliators!!!!

I bought both because I too was curious. I do not see any noticeable or significant differences in the feel or results of the face versus body versions. I've used them both on both my face and body, and it feels and looks the same. I love this stuff, by the way. My skin is way softer after using this than any other exfoliaters I've used before. Hope this helps!

If you don't mind the mess, by far the cream is better. It lasts a lot longer and is more effective. If you're already used to a "normal" deodorant that you apply daily or every other day, the roll-on is comparable and healthier for you than "normal" deodorants, though that is my opinion, not based on scientific study. Lavilin does not use aluminum salts to do its job, which is why I prefer it. Its main ingredient, Zinc Oxide, has no track record that I know of for being toxic when applied to the skin. (It's also used as a sunscreen in other applications.)

I have used the Obagi products for several years and had heard rumors of the obagi purchased online was not as good as the product sold in the beauty supply store. So I just thought I would check it out for myself. I have not had any problems with the Obagi products that I purchased online. I checked the ingredients on both products and it was the same. So I don't know why people are complaining.

I use ST. Ives lotion and never had any trouble with it not absorbing into the skin. I really like this applicator and when this one wears out I'll replace with the same one. Much better quality than any of the other ones I've used.

The brand that I used; Homestead Company uses exactly what they say; natural Witch Hazel and Benzoic Acid which is derived from Raspberries. They have a few others also, The am and pm. I haven't tried those though since the original works so well for me. I must say, I've tried many different brands of witch hazel because I've heard it's supposed to be such a great astringent but most have 14% alcohol which dries my face since I have very sensitive skin. I love to use it in the morning after my shower and after I've washed my make-up off before bed time. Try it, I think you'll agree.

St. Ives products are great! I have been using them along time. You do get results. But if you have more then average blemishes, I would try something stronger.

There are similar and different ingredients in them. Both are effective in moisturizing. I've noticed that the night cream seems thinner in it's consistency and spreads easier. I use the night cream during the day also because I also put a moisturizer with sunscreen over it. I like both day and night creams and will buy both when I can afford it.

I don't think there can be much difference. I have the "Naked Bee" 70 per cent organic - vitamin C enriched - and the - To Use directions say - "apply liberally over face and body", so that is what I do and have had no problems this summer so far.
