Whey protein
Whey protein is a mixture of globular proteins isolated from whey, the liquid material created as a by-product of cheese production. Some preclinical studies in rodents have suggested that whey protein may possess anti-inflammatory or anti-cancer properties.[1][2] The effects of whey protein on human health are of great interest and are currently being investigated as a way of reducing disease risk, as well as a possible supplementary treatment for several diseases.[3]
Whey protein is commonly marketed and ingested as a dietary supplement, and various health claims have been attributed to it in the alternative medicine community.[4] Although whey proteins are responsible for some milk allergies, the major allergens in milk are the caseins.[5][6]
Whey is left over when milk is coagulated during the process of cheese production, and contains everything that is soluble from milk. It is a 5% solution of lactose in water, with some minerals and lactalbumin.[7] The fat is removed and then processed for human foods.[7] Processing can be done by simple drying, or the protein content can be increased by removing lipids and other non-protein materials.[8] For example, spray drying after membrane filtration separates the proteins from whey.[9]
Whey can be denatured by heat. High heat (such as the sustained high temperatures above 72 °C associated with the pasteurization process) denatures whey proteins. While native whey protein does not aggregate upon renneting or acidification of milk, denaturing the whey protein triggers hydrophobic interactions with other proteins, and the formation of a protein gel.[8] Heat-denatured whey can still cause allergies in some people.[10]
Whey protein is the collection of globular proteins isolated from whey, a by-product of cheese manufactured from cow's milk. The protein in cow's milk is 20% whey protein and 80% casein protein,[11] whereas the protein in human milk is 60% whey and 40% casein.[12] The protein fraction in whey constitutes approximately 10% of the total dry solids in whey. This protein is typically a mixture of beta-lactoglobulin (~65%), alpha-lactalbumin (~25%), bovine serum albumin (~8%)(see also serum albumin), and immunoglobulins.[13] These are soluble in their native forms, independent of pH.
Being a by-product of the cheese making process, and likelihood of animal rennet use, whey protein as well as casein products may not be suitable for consumption by lacto-vegetarians or observers of kosher dietary laws. There are, however, specialty producers of vegetarian-approved whey protein products produced using non-animal "rennet" (enzymes). These products are often also labeled as kosher and halal approved.[citation needed]
Major forms[edit]
Whey protein typically comes in three major forms: concentrate (WPC), isolate (WPI), and hydrolysate (WPH).
- Concentrates have typically a low (but still significant) level of fat and cholesterol but, in general, compared to the other forms of whey protein, have higher levels of bioactive compounds, and carbohydrates in the form of lactose — they are 29%–89% protein by weight.
- Isolates are processed to remove the fat, and lactose, but are usually lower in bioactivated compounds as well — they are 90%+ protein by weight. Like whey protein concentrates, whey protein isolates are mild to slightly milky in taste.
- Hydrolysates are whey proteins that are predigested and partially hydrolyzed for the purpose of easier metabolizing, but their cost is generally higher.[8] Highly hydrolysed whey may be less allergenic than other forms of whey.[10]
Whey protein and muscle building[edit]
The effects of whey protein supplementation on muscle growth in response to resistance training are debatable. One study demonstrated some increase in lean body mass and strength in men supplementing whey protein vs. no supplementation,[14] while another study found greater increases in strength in a group supplementing whey compared to another group supplementing casein, which could be evidence of whey protein's superior amino acid profile.[15] However, other research exists that show little to no benefit of whey protein supplementation. The authors of one study concluded that "young adults who supplement with protein during a structured resistance training program experience minimal beneficial effects in lean tissue mass and strength,",[16] although it did not control for other sources of protein in the participant's diets. The timing of protein supplement ingestion may not have any significant effects on strength, power, or body-composition.[17] A study of elderly men found supplementation with whey protein after exercise improved muscle protein synthesis and erectile disfunction.[18]
Scientific evidence has shown that proteins high in essential amino acids (EAA), branched chain amino acids (BCAA), and particularly leucine (Leu) are associated with increased muscle protein synthesis, weight loss, body fat loss, and decreased plasma insulin and triglyceride pro-file. [19] Whey protein and leucine are beneficial for stimulation of acute muscle protein synthesis in older adults. [20]
Health effects[edit]
The use of whey protein as a source of amino acids and its effect on reducing the risks of diseases such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes is the focus of ongoing research.[3] Whey is an abundant source of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs),[21] which are used to stimulate protein synthesis.[22] In particular, leucine plays a key role in initiating the transcription of protein synthesis.[23] When leucine is ingested in high amounts, such as with whey protein supplementation, there is greater stimulation of protein synthesis, which may speed recovery and adaptation to stress (exercise).[24][25]
Whey protein contains the amino acid cysteine, which can be used to make glutathione. However, this amino acid is not essential for the synthesis of glutathione, and some studies have suggested that the amount of cysteine in the diet may have little effect on glutathione synthesis.[26] However, another study suggested that large amounts of whey protein can increase cellular glutathione levels.[27] Glutathione is an antioxidant that defends the body against free radical damage and some toxins, and studies in animals have suggested that milk proteins might reduce the risk of cancer.[28]
Aflatoxin, an extremely potent carcinogen and major cause of mitochondria damage (thereby having the potential to negatively affect all bodily processes including skeletal muscles), has been shown to be inhibited by whey protein and ginseng extract.[29] However, the amount of aflatoxin within whey protein itself, was shown to be reflected by the amount in the unprocessed milk used to make it.[30]
Digestive issues[edit]
Some people experience severe digestive issues following consumption of whey protein powder.[31] These may include gas, bloating, cramps, tiredness, weakness, fatigue, headaches, and irritability. One of the possible causes is lactose intolerance after they ingest whey concentrate.[32] Undigested protein in the colon will undergo bacterial fermentation which leads to the production of, among other things, gas and fatty acids.[33]

LAWRENCEVILLE — Gwinnett Breast Center, a three-location affiliate of Gwinnett Medical Center, was recently awarded a full, three-year national accreditation.The accreditation, awarded by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers, signifies a facility's demonstration of "a firm commitment to offering its patients every available advantage in their battle against breast cancer." Gwinnett Breast Center has locations in Lawrenceville, Duluth and Hamilton Mill. "This accreditation indicates our desire to provide quality care with a truly patient-centered approach," said Cindy Snyder, the manager of oncology services at GMC. Standards that breast centers must exhibit proficiency in to earn accreditation include the following: center leadership, clinical management, research, community outreach, professional education and quality improvement. Receiving care at an NAPBC-accredited center ensures that a patient will have "access to comprehensive care with state-of-the-art services, a multidisciplinary team approach to coordinating the best treatment options, and, most importantly, quality breast care located close to home," GMC spokeswoman Andrea Wehrmann said. The American Cancer Society estimates that almost 200,000 women were diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in 2009.

An early November nor'easter brought the season's first snow locally today -- and possibly 2 to 4 inches before becoming rain and sleet, and then rain, early Thursday, the National Weather Service reports.
The speed limit on the Massachusetts Turnpike was reduced to 40 mph from the New York border to Westborough around 3 p.m., the Massachusetts Department of Transportation tweeted.
The snow began falling earlier in the afternoon, but intensified as area schools let out.
Around 6 p.m., the Department of Transportation tweeted that "Snow, ice crews now total 243 treating, plowing roadways. Light to Moderate snow. Roads wet to slush, snow covered. Scattered icing."
The National Weather Service says a light ice glaze is expected west of Interstate 95 tonight.
The agency has a winter weather advisory in effect for Central Massachusetts, among other regions, until 7 a.m. Thursday.
A wind advisory is in effect until 6 a.m., the region could see gusts approaching 35 mph, the agency says. Isolated power outages are possible as a result, the weather service says.

During the first 3 weeks you are using benzoyl peroxide, your skin may become irritated. Also, your acne may seem to get worse before it gets better. If your skin problem has not improved within 4 to 6 weeks, check with your health care professional.
You should not wash the areas of the skin treated with benzoyl peroxide for at least 1 hour after application.
Avoid using any other topical medicine on the same area within 1 hour before or after using benzoyl peroxide. Otherwise, benzoyl peroxide may not work properly.
Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, it is especially important to avoid using the following skin products on the same area as benzoyl peroxide:
Using these products along with benzoyl peroxide may cause mild to severe irritation of the skin. Although skin irritation can occur, some doctors sometimes allow benzoyl peroxide to be used with tretinoin to treat acne. Usually tretinoin is applied at night so that it doesn't cause a problem with any other topical products that you might use during the day. Check with your doctor before using any other topical medicines with benzoyl peroxide.
This medicine may bleach hair or colored fabrics.
Check with your doctor at any time your skin becomes too dry or irritated. Your health care professional can help you choose the right skin products for you to reduce skin dryness and irritation.

The Official Harrison Ford Aging Timeline
Harrison Ford was born 13 July 1942, to Dorothy Ford (Nidelman), homemaker and former radio hostess, and Christopher Ford, advertising executive and former actor. He's come a long way since then, but now, at almost seventy years old, he still looks great in Cowboys & Aliens, and has reportedly never had plastic surgery. Take a look back at the past 69 years of Ford. View List ›

US Marines love these,they are great as below for shipping overseas. You can also add raisins,nuts,or other dried fruit to these but best not to during summer months as it shortens shelf life.Toffee chips are good,can also use chocolate or other flavored chips.

Heres a little recipe I worked out, and Sweet Potatoes are full of vitamin A! These sweet potato or yam muffins have less than 100 calories each and less than a half a gram of fat each! They come out to just under 1 gram of sugar each, but i use no sugar in them so these are naturally occuring. By the way no these are not "mini-muffins"! Feel free to use regular muffins tins like I did... They are a great harmless snack or breakfast addition. To get your vitamin A be sure to pair it with a healthy dietary fat (we need fat to absorb the A) - breakfast with 1 ounce of reduced fat cheese and a piece of fruit is great! So low cal you can mix and match often- and made with whole wheat flour- so you are getting your healthy whole grains and their awesome antioxidants! Enjoy!

I love salsa but it seems all the store bought ones are so high in sodium that I wasn't able to enjoy much of them. I came up with this recipe that has all the flavor and ingredients that I love and is so low in sodium that I can have as much as I want. Delicious! This is a hot version. If you prefer a mild salsa, leave out the jalopeno pepper.

For some reason my iPhone 2G won't go into DFU mode. Everytime I "turnoff" my iphone, it keep turning back on. It won't stay off. So for this reason it won't go into DFU mode.
My iPhone is not activated so I want to unlock/jailbreak it so I can use it as for wifi/ipod.
Since redsnow forces u to go into DFU, is there any other unlocking/jailbreak solution?

A preview of the Xfce 4.4 Desktop environment
Xfce is a light and flexible desktop alternative. We took a look at what's coming with the latest version.
If you want a user friendly and GUI-configurable desktop without the glut of Gnome and KDE applications, you may wonder if you have any choices. You can build Fluxbox into a nicely functional desktop once you add components such as a icon manager and pager, but it is still has some limitations. If you have slightly older hardware that cannot run KDE and GNOME at a usable speed, and if you're looking for an alternative that provides this middle ground between the big desktops and the lightweight window managers, try Xfce. Xfce is designed to be lightweight but still easy to use and configure – without the need for manual editing of configuration files. The Xfce developers have created a desktop that is fast but still visually appealing. Xfce embodies the traditional UNIX philosophy of modularity and re-usability. The Xfce environment consists of a number of components that together provide a desktop with full functionality.

Pioneer of a theatrical form of heavy metal, Alice Cooper is well known for his live shows with their gothic use of imagery from horror movies and elsewhere using electric chairs, guillotines and fake blood. in 1969 he became notorious for decapitating a chicken live on stage - though in reality he never did this. His first major music hit, selling over a million copies was Schools Out came out in 1972 and was followed through the 80's with successive hits. His career slipped in the 80's but made a comeback with his 1989 album Trash and he has continued to perform and record ever since.

A fascinating glimpse into the rich complexity of medieval Jewish life and its contemporary relevance had intriguingly emerged.
Dear Dr. Yael:
My heart is breaking; my husband's friend has gotten divorced. While this type of situation is always sad, here I do believe it could have been avoided.
The plan's goal is to provide supportive housing to 200 individuals with disabilities by the year 2020.
Despite being one of the fastest-growing Jewish communities in the U.S. – the estimated Jewish population is 70-80,000 – Las Vegas has long been overlooked by much of the Torah world.

While it would seem from his question that he is being chuzpadik and dismissive, I wonder if its possible, if just maybe, he is a struggling, confused neshama who actually wants to come back to the fold.
I agree with the letter writer that a shadchan should respectfully and graciously accept a negative response to a shidduch offer.
"Attuned to the ideal of establishing a new Zion in free America, they named their new colony Palestine.
Last month's column outlined some efforts during the first half of the nineteenth century to establish Jewish agricultural colonies in America. In only one case was a colony actually established.
There were very few Jewish farmers in Europe during the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Indeed, in many parts of Europe Jews were forbidden to own land. Despite this there were some Jews who always felt they should return to the agrarian way of life their forefathers had pursued in ancient times, and that America was an ideal place to establish Jewish agricultural colonies.
The President having signed the Treaty of the Geneva Conference and the Senate having, on the 16th instant, ratified the President's actions, the American Association of the Red Cross, organized under provisions of said treaty, purposes to send its agents at once among the sufferers by the recent floods, with a view to the ameliorating of their condition so far as can be done by human aid and the means at hand will permit. Contributions are urgently solicited.
Last month's column sketched the myriad of social programs in which the Orthodox American communal worker and leader Adolphus S. Solomons (1826-1910) was involved. Adolphus married Rachel Seixas Phillips (1828-1881), a descendant of colonial patriot families and together they had eight daughters and a son.
There are many observant Jews who contributed much to secular and Jewish life in America and yet have, unfortunately, been essentially forgotten. One such man is Adolphus Simson Solomons (1826-1910).
Cholera was officially recognized to be of epidemic proportions in New York City on June 26, 1832. The epidemic was at its peak in July and 3,515 out of a population of about 250,000 died. (The equivalent death toll in today's city of eight million would exceed 100,000.) Sadly, in 1832 there were no effective treatments available for those who contracted this disease.
As this is our third column on the Reverend Dr. Henry Pereira Mendes, we'll begin with a summary of his life.

It took longer than expected — heck, the Dallas Cowboys jumped the gun and posted the hiring on their own website more than a week ago — but former Tennessee head coach Derek Dooley is returning to the NFL. Dooley confirmed via Twitter last night that he is indeed heading to Dallas to coach the team's wide receivers.
Dooley served along with current Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett with the Miami Dolphins in 2005 and 2006. Alabama coach Nick Saban was that team's head coach and Dooley handled the tight end duties.
Thanks to his Tennessee buyout, Dooley will likely be making more cash than any other position coach in the NFL next year. He'll be paid $5 million in monthly installments of $102,040 through December of 2016.
Dooley will serve on the same staff with new Cowboys defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin. Kiffin's son, Lane, opened the door for Dooley to move from Louisiana Tech to Knoxville (after a 4-8 season) when he left the Vols after just one season. His annihilation of the Volunteer roster, however, also left Dooley in a no-win situation.
Next question: Will quarterback Tyler Bray, receivers Justin Hunter or Cordarrelle Patterson, or ex-receiver Da'Rick Rogers be reunited with their old coach in Big D? And would they want to be?

MONTROSE – Montrose County administration officials are working to develop a new identity for the coming new year, and the coming-onboard County Manager Roy (Rick) Eckert, emphasizing a high level of professionalism, fiscal responsibility and leadership accountability.
On Thursday, Dec. 20, a majority of the county's 365 fulltime employees gathered at Friendship Hall for a first-ever all-county staff meeting, which will be held annually, officials say. County offices closed for the gathering for almost two hours (personnel stayed on site in its critical departments) for the all-staff staff meeting, giving all employees the opportunity to meet Eckert, who comes onboard Jan. 2. Eckert succeeds Jesse Smith, who was county manager for three years.
On a large projection screen, the slogan "People Representing Integrity and Delivering Excellence," or PRIDE, was displayed. It is to be the key phrase for 2013, with the goal of raising the bar for public service in the future.
Through new employee training programs, new technology that can track employee performance and highlight areas for improvement and a "shift in culture," county offices will better serve citizens, according to Montrose County's Organizational Performance and Training Specialist Corinne Shearer.
"Our goal in 2013 is the Year of PRIDE," she told the audience. "We're making sure this aligns with our mission statement and our strategic business plan," she said separately.
Shearer said revamping and improving the county's effectiveness towards serving the average citizen is part of the county's strategic business plan, created three years ago and driven by the former county manager Smith.
Smith, whose last day at the county is Dec. 31, said goodbye to the gathering, describing his time with Montrose County as "a real journey and a real joy."
Smith said it was important to implement a strategic plan tied to the county's "departmental strategic budget plan," to reduce wasteful expenditures, make public services more efficient, and prioritize areas of funding.
"We have to change the financial system to meet the strategic plan and to tie them two together," he said. "You are the best bunch of people I have ever had the opportunity to work with," Smith concluded, receiving applause.
Both Smith and county commissioner Gary Ellis acknowledged the county has faced "trials and tribulations" in recent years, citing costly and controversial litigation, taxes and a recent budget approval process that garnered sharp opposition from some members of the public. Ellis emphasized that those concerns have been taken seriously by the board of commissioners, and that the majority of citizens approve of the operation of the county's government.
"We want this to be a professional organization, [and] that's the direction we're heading," Ellis told staff as he opened the meeting.
Commissioner Ron Henderson pronounced the event a good opportunity for employees to meet one another and "get to know each other's tasks.
"The fact of the matter is we're all living, breathing human beings living in paradise and trying to figure out how to do that more successfully," Henderson said.
Eckert, who has 25 years of experience in county and municipal leadership, introduced himself, and outlined his goals for the future. He chosen from a field of five finalists, and signed a three-year contract for his service.

Former Intel CEO Craig Barrett tells Fortune why U.S. students' terrible test scores must rise for the country to remain an economic powerhouse, and how his organizations aim to help.
Interview by Scott Olster, associate editor
If you want to get a sense of what's in store for the American workforce, just take a look at how our students match up against the rest of the world in math and science. After all, most of the professions within the U.S. economy that are growing -- healthcare, information technology, and biomedicine -- require extensive training in both subjects.
So how are we doing? Not well, at all.
American 15-year old students scored below average in math and were outperformed by 23 other countries and education systems, according to test results released Tuesday by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development's Program for International Student Assessment.
And they didn't do much better in science, ranking 19 among the lot of 65 participating countries and education systems (N.B. "educational systems" are individual cities within a country, like Shanghai).
Students who took the exams in Shanghai ranked at the top of the heap on all accounts, dialing up the volume of the talent competition between the U.S. and China in particular, and all developing economies in general.
Fortune recently spoke with Craig Barrett, former chairman and CEO of Intel (INTC) and a major education advocate, to get his perspective on where schools need to go to adequately prepare the next generation American workforce.
Barrett is the chairman of Change the Equation, a nonprofit organization devoted to bringing CEOs together to support education reform; the co-chair of Achieve, Inc., a group that works with state governors to promote the adoption of common curriculum standards; and the president and CEO of BASIS Schools, an Arizona charter school system.
Fortune: Every few years, we read headlines saying that the U.S., in one way or another, is falling behind the competition. So how concerned should we really be about the math and science stats?
Barrett: The average U.S. kid is in the bottom quartile of the OECD countries in math and science. [New statistics published after this interview was conducted say that in OECD countries, U.S. students have managed to climb out of the bottom quartile in science, but not math.] If that doesn't scare the hell out of you, I don't know what would.

After seeing so many positive reviews about Bioderma I decided to splurge and give it a go. I have combination/oily skin so I went with the Sebium over the Sensibio thinking it would help combat the excess oil, but this really stripped my skin and broke me out something rotten. Immediately after applying my skin would feel really tight and horrible. Maybe I'd have better luck with the Sensibio? Definitely wouldn't use this if you have normal/combination skin.

Found a product that thoroughly removes all eye and face makeup without using a ton of product. All I can say is wow! I wear makeup on a daily basis and used baby wipes to clean off. My face would still have makeup residue left. With two cotton pads (not saturated) all my makeup was off. I still wash my face with cleanser...but this makes it so much easier and faster. Awesome stuff!

I started off by purchasing the very small bottle (100ml) after reading many enthusiastic reviews praising this stuff, I have since repurchased larger sizes of this product.
Very soothing, especially during breakouts
Clears breakouts
Makes my skin feel soft and clean
Pores look refined
My skins ends up much oilier than usual when I use this to cleanse (overcompensating?)
I don't like the fragrance or the packaging (too clinical).
Its quite expensive to buy.
Need to use quite a lot to remove a full face of makeup – about 4 cotton pads or more! (I usually use some face wipes first then swipe a pad of this stuff over my face).
I have been unable to find this in any stores, only seems to be available online in the UK, which means having to pay postage costs.
My skin likes this stuff as it seems to clear breakouts and make my skin feel soft & clean, the only downside is it seems to make me oilier and it is expensive and hard to find. However, as long as I can find discount deals I will always keep a bottle of this on my vanity table, it's also a perfect product to cleanse before/after the gym or at the beach.

Please note: This is also listed as a toner on MUA as well as a cleanser- check the label, it is not a toner. It's just micelle solution, basically a non-foaming alcohol-free cleansing water, to remove make-up and grime that has collected on your face throughout the day. So I don't understand complaints about how this is "not a good toner", etc etc. Bioderma does not even make a "toner" in this range. Sorry to sound like a cow, but seriously. . .Rant over.
I bought this because Sensibio H2O was sold out for weeks at my nearby pharmacy. I've been using both for years however I prefer the Sensibio to Sebium only because you can use it around eyes with no problems plus it has no fragrance, but this one is still really good. When I get home from work I use this first before cleansing - wet a cotton pad with it, remove make-up, then follow with a normal cleanser. I use jojoba oil or anything unscented to remove eye make-up (or Sensibio when I have it again!)
It only takes me one pad and few drops of this to fully remove all the make-up on my face. So one big bottle (I normally get a 500mL size) lasts me at least 7 months, sometimes a full year, depends how much I use/how much make-up I need to remove on a daily basis. There are always sales as well. Scent is mild, although may be problematic for some but non-irritating for my skin and similar to all the other Bioderma stuff (the stuff with scent, some is unscented). Love it. . .but again, I find Sensibio does a better all-around job so am giving this 4/5 lippies.

Favourite micellar water so far (I use this or the Vichy normaderm one) its perfect for my combination skin- feels cleansing on the spotty areas (chin, t-zone), yet not too harsh on the drier parts (cheeks etc). It certainly doesn't aggravate my spots or make them worse- feels pretty gentle on the skin. It doesn't a decent enough job at removing make up- but I'd never use this, or any micellar water for that matter, as the sole cleanser- I'd always follow it up with a face wash. All in all a decent product that ill likely repurchase.

For me this is very classic and very good micellar water. It si very popular and there is a reason for it - it cleanses very well, it leaves very pleasant feeling on my oily skin and at the same time it's quite soothing as it doesn't have alcohol. I'm not sure if it exactly prevent or reduces break outs (But I don't seek this kind of function from a micellar water), but it definitely doesn't causes any new. In general - very good choice for acne - prone/ oily/ combination skin.

Age: 19-24 Skin: Acne-prone, Fair Hair: Blond, Curly, Fine Eyes: Green
I was so excited to try this out. I chose this version over the regular version with the pink cap because it is designed for oily and acne-prone skin. However, I noticed that soon after I started using this, about 3 days to a week, I started to develop small little pimples. I do not get these types of pimples for my acne and this was the only change in my skincare routine. The small pimples cleared up after I stopped using this product.
This may work for some people with oily/acne-prone skin, but from my research it seems to be 50/50 for those with this skin type.
*Easy 1 step cleanser
*Worked well to cleanse my skin
*Quick alternative to full skincare routine
*Fresh scent
*Very pricey since it isn't sold directly in the US
*Broke me out even though it was made for oily/acne-prone skin
*Scent - although it smells nice, it may be too perfumed for some. Maybe this is one of the reasons it broke me out?

Age: 18 & Under Skin: Combination, Fair, Warm Hair: Black, Straight, Fine Eyes: Hazel
Bioderma Sebium is a blue slightly transparent liquid that has bit of a floral-soapy scent.The scent doesn't bother me, but it might bother others with very sensitive skin. If you have sensitive skin, you would probably like the Bioderma Sensibio (or Crealine) better as it's fragrance free (unlike the Sebium version).
I LOVE this product. It was quite expensive ($25 in USD) and I had to order it online, but it's definitely worth it. I don't use this as a makeup remover, though you can (but I would not suggest using it on the eyes). I like to use this in the morning as a gentle yet effective cleanser, followed up by my St. Ives Apricot Scrub. I just pour it onto a cotton round and thoroughly wipe my face until I see no more dirt. This product really gets the grime and dirt off my skin. My skin is never dry or stripped, just clean and refreshed. I don't use this at night, I prefer a deeper cleanser at night.
After using this for a few months, I can honestly say it's one of my Holy Grail products. I was having quite the battle with acne and spots before hand (teenage, acne prone, oily skin). I don't believe my skin purged like some other reviewers reported, but everyone's skin is different. This has not only significantly cleared up my acne,it also helps clear up current acne more quickly, and lowers my oil production in a healthy way. I'm not sure what the French put in this stuff, but I don't know what I would do without it!
I took a lipstick off for the packaging, though. I get the 500ml every 2 months, and I love how it looks so sleek and that it has a little seal that you rip off so that you know your bottle is hygienic. BUT, I don't really like the shape/size. It's a bit difficult for me to handle without spilling things everyone, but it might just be me. I usually pour some of it into a smaller, more handy bottle about every week; that usually solves the problem.
Overall: It's a wonderful miracle product and has completely turned my skin around.

Like many, I heard so many rave reviews about this product that I was curious to try it. It removes makeup beautifully and feels naturally refreshing. Also, my skin doesn't feel stripped and most of the time I could likely go without moisturizing afterwards.
I do love this product but it's so expensive I only use it sparingly: I use it to cleanse in the morning or on days I'm not wearing any makeup (even though it removes makeup beautifully) so I use less of it. It's very easy to go through a bottle quickly. If I used it as my sole cleanser it would only last about a month.
I'd buy it again, but the price makes me cringe.

I accidentally posted this earlier for the gel version but am deleting that and posting it in the correct product section: This is a great 2-in-1 product. It does leave your skin feeling a lot cleaner, especially if you are acne prone. The packaging is not great quality. The lid broke while I was travelling and spilled quite a lot of product. Also, it's hard to get (I picked up my previous tube when I was holidaying in Paris) so I'm going to try the Clinique scrub for a bit because I kind of got that free. And then, I may lay off on scrubs for a bit. I have very very oily skin and I have heard that scrubs contribute to oiliness in the long run.
Edit: I bought another bottle of this. While I don't find it harsh, I have VERY oily skin in VERY humid weather and I found that my face was an oil spill at the end of the day - its oily but isn't quite as oily without this product. It says don't rinse off but I would.

TALLAHASSEE -- As Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton looked up at the packed house in the Donald L. Tucker Center, he got a glimpse of the program he had been building towards for a few fleeting moments.
FSU, which won its first Atlantic Coast Conference title in school history last season, packed the house for Saturday afternoon's game with traditional powerhouse North Carolina (11-5, 1-2) — a game the Seminoles (10-6, 2-1) came into favored over the Tar Heels.
And then, as quickly as the apparition came, it faded. Florida State lost to North Carolina 77-72 as the Seminoles had trouble corralling rebounds and scoring during the final four minutes.
"We're extremely disappointed we couldn't close the game out," Hamilton said. "Unfortunately though, we didn't lose the game in that [final four minute] period."
The first half was a back-and-forth affair with neither team managing to pull ahead. Despite their edge in rebounding, the Tar Heels also turned the ball over nine times and allowed Florida State to hang around despite having just four combined points from three of their most prolific scorers.
Preseason All-American guard Michael Snaer, the fifth-leading scorer in the ACC, was held to just four points in the first half while juniors Okaro White and Ian Miller were held scoreless. Despite the lack of scoring from the Seminoles trio, FSU still managed to shoot 47.8 percent in the first half and went into the locker room trailing just 33-31.
Early in the second period it looked as though the Seminoles might even have the upper hand, knocking down three after three as the second half opened, finishing the game at 50 percent from behind the arc (11 of 22).
After a quiet start, White came alive when FSU needed him, contributing 15 second-half points, including 8-of-10 shooting from the line. Terry Whisnant also found a hot hand, going 4 of 7 from outside and adding 14 points.
But ultimately rebounding proved to be the Seminoles' fatal flaw.
North Carolina outrebounded Florida State 41-19, dominating the offensive glass and controlling the paint on both ends of the floor. It finally caught up to the Seminoles in the final minutes as FSU's shooters cooled and the team couldn't manage to score over the last 4:16.
Down three with just 1:04 left, Florida State got a big steal by Terrance Shannon but lost the ball just as quickly, resetting the Tar Heels' shot clock and letting them run the game down to 19 seconds. Even then Snaer had a shot to tie it, but his three-pointer rimmed out.
"Leonard does a great job, and has for many, many years," UNC coach Roy Williams said after the game. "[FSU] is a big-time basketball team, and we're as lucky as we can be, we're going to take [this win] and get out of town as fast as we can."
