ABOUT FORMULA 10.0.6
Do you remember Bonne Bell Ten-O-Six Lotion? I am sure you have heard of it. Let's go way back in history, 1933 to be exact, because that is when Formula 10.0.6 was developed by a chemist and dispensed exclusively by pharmacists.
Fast forward, in 1950 Ten-O-Six hit Seventeen Magazine in the US promoting complete complexion care and the brand took off!
By 1969 Ten-O-Six lotion was a household name and Candice Bergen was the model for the product. And in 1970, the brand went global.
By 1990 Ten-O-Six was a huge success and embraced 90's style with a new bottle and the product became a trusted favorite among teens.
In 2009 it was a complexion overhaul! There was lots to love about Formula 10.0.6! The brand was relaunched with vibrant packaging, perky product names and even more star products to banish blemishes.
In 2010 Formula 10.0.6 is sold exclusively at ULTA as a modern skin care range. Consumers raved about the packaging, effectiveness and affordable prices.
Now, Formula 10.0.6 excels at perfecting troublesome young skin with ingredients that work. We give you a complete complimentary range of skin care essentials.

MY REVIEW
The folks over at Formula 10.0.6 sent me several products to review. It is exciting to have a chance to try out so many products and be able to truly capture the essence of the brand. The products are all at a price point of less than $7 each and do not let the inexpensive price fool you, the products are every bit effective with measurable proven improvement results. You could purchase all the products from this review and not spend more than $42. You can use the Formula 10.0.6 products as preventative products, even if your skin is already clear, but prone to problems if not properly taken care of! Here is the low down on them all:

DID YOU KNOW?
Since its origin, the So Totally Clean Deep Pore Cleanser packaging has changed almost three dozen times. Its latest look is of course, its greatest look!
MY THOUGHTS:
I do remember this product. I did not use it myself, but my Mom did and I can remember seeing the bottle of it on the bathroom vanity. So I went to Mom and asked her to try and remember the product from when she used to use it in the 80's. The moment she opened the top of the bottle and took in the scent of the product, she said it smelled almost exactly as how she remembered it. It is an aroma you do not forget. It is clean and sterile kind of scent. The only difference in the product that my Mom noticed was that she remembered the liquid was a darker color, more of a brown color as opposed to an orange color now. She then put some of the liquid on a cotton swab and gently wipes all around her skin. She said it felt exactly the same as she recollected from when she used it over 25 years ago. She really enjoyed reliving the entire routine of how she used to use the product years ago.
I then had a chance to use the product over the past few days and I love it. I am not a teenager, but I still struggle with troublesome skin, my skin behaves like I am an adolescent sometimes! The product is a gentle and works as a cleanser and tone in one, gotta love a product that multi-tasks and works to keep your skin clear.
