Erno Laszlo

I have extremely problem-prone skin. Almost every moisturiser I use breaks me out. If I don't use one, my skin starts peeling, and I end up looking like a burn victim. One of the few brands that really works for me is Erno Laszlo. I have been trying to find cheaper alternatives, but they are either not moisturing enough (Philosophy Hope in a Bottle and Temple Spa Moisturiser) or too greasy and break me out (Dr. Hauschka Rose Day Cream Light). I have been happy with almost every single Erno Laszlo product I have tried, and I am really surprised the line is not widely popular. It used to be a favourite of Audery Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe (there is a tub of Laszlo on her dresser even in her suicide photos) back in the day, but I don't really see a lot of celebrities promoting the brand now. I have a feeling that's because Laszlo's not part of the bigger conglomerates like L'Oreal and Estee Lauder.

My newest purchase is Antioxidant Mattifying Complex SPF 15 (90 ml, AUD 120). It's light, non-greasy, has SPF and doesn't leave a white cast. What more could I ask for? I also love their ridiculously-expensive pHormula 3-9 (30 ml, about AUD 250), which is a healing balm for scarred and dehydrated skin. I use it over Benzoyl Peroxide and moisturiser in the night, and I wake up looking a lot fresher than I otherwise do.
