Juice Organics Pompeptide Facial Moisturizer

Packaging/Pricing:

This is a drugstore level product, hence the packaging is quite simple opaque white plastic tube. Simple and convenient. You get 50ml (1.7fl.oz) for 15$. This product can be found on Walgreens.com (here), Amazon, Vitacost etc.

[It appears that the packaging of the product and ingredient list is a bit different, depending from what place you purchase the product. I am reviewing the list on the box I've purchased.]

Algenist Retinol Firming and Lifting Serum

Packaging/Pricing: 

I have nothing against the packaging, which is an opaque pump bottle (the picture above depicts a sample bottle). However, the price is really outrageous. 30ml (1fl.oz) retails for 98$ at Sephora. There is no skincare product in my opinion, that is worth that kind of money. There is limit to what skincare can actually do. My threshold is around 60$. Anything above that you better save towards something like corrective cosmetic procedures.

Excellent (only beneficial ingredients, proven research)

Good (mostly beneficial, not extensive research or just not quite outstanding properties)

OK (mostly thickeners, emulsifiers, mild preservatives, pH adjusters, all that is necessary, but not a skincare per se) 

Bad (irritants and anything bad that shouldn't be in a skincare, usually fragrance)
