I hear a lot of ads for Hydrolyze on the radio, but after Proactiv made my skin worse, I don't like trying things you can't actually buy in a store.

After you mentioned that, I checked my multivitamins, and noticed that iron isn't covered. So, whether it's contributing to the hell circles or not, might as well pick up some supplements. Thanks for the heads up.
*nods* I tried one concealer that dried too quickly... felt so uncomfortable. And others just cake up. Do cosmetic companies actually think that spackling the circles over is an improvement?
Wow, the animation on Hydrolyze's homepage is ridiculous, even with the disclaimer underneath it. Apparently our only hope is Photoshop. *g*
