Actually I was using the same one dexeryl cleansing cream Used for over 10 years. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. I use it morning and night, and I take it with me everywhere.

Because the product contains aloe vera. Aloe vera has been around since I was a kid, a home remedy for everything from face masks to scrapes. I sometimes use it at night, Moisture Surge 100H Hydrator As a face mask to wake up comfortably.

But I try to treat it with great care. i use Champo pitta shampoo, conditionerand serumthese are all said to help with thickness and volume, and you’ll really notice the difference when you use them.
