I don't trust beauty companies and find it hard to believe that, to the extent that lotions "do something" that something would be different enough on your face vs. legs that you need a different cream.

Also the nonsensical claims on most lotions drive me nuts "pore smoothing" ? can lotions even do that?

It seems that the most important variables in skin care would be:

sun exposure
frequency of washing
abrasion
hydration
diet
sleep

Can lotion do much at all?
