I've been using Prescriptives skin renewal cream for the past 3 months and am happy with it. It has just run out so I'm trying to decide whether I should stick with it or try Philosophy Help Me (recommended in the book for my skin type).
I've been unable to obtain a sample of the Help Me but am wondering whether I should just bite the bullet and give it a try or should I stick with the devil I know?

If something is working for you, I would stick with it.

Cyg,

I totally understand how you feel. Even though something totally works for me, I can't help but think there is something better out there just waiting for me, and I go from brand to brand and products to product. (no wonder I'm not married!!)
But since I've been doing Dr. B's program, I've been using the same products for almost 2 months with no changes or new products and I'm amazed at how well my skin is looking/acting/behaving. I think there is something to be said for consistancy.

So I have to second Kevin's advice and say stick with what's working for you.

One ingredient I would question is the soy protien (glycine soja) in the Prescriptives retinol.
Is this the good soy with the genistein removed if pigmentation is a problem for you? I still don't know how to tell in the ingredient list if the soy has the genistein removed? If your nonpigmented it may not be a problem for you.

Thanks for the comments guys and gals.
Like Pinky I'm just wondering if there is something better out there (definitely not in the husband department as I chose well there ).  Also the Prescriptives is about AU$30 dearer than the Philosophy Help me and may be a factor if I get the job I applied for (which pays about half I'm on now).
I'll just keep trying to find it cheaper on e-bay (sorry Dr B  ).

Fogot to mention I don't have any pigmentation issues so I don't think the soy will be a problem.
