I've raved about MD Skincare by Dr. Dennis Gross before; these products are truly top-notch. They deliver serious results, but the best part is how thoughtfully they're formulated. The products feel more like high-end cosmetics than zit-zapping and line-reducing skin treatments, and they never interfere with your makeup, either.

Seriously, where else are you going to find a spot cream that feels so luxurious on your skin, thanks to silicone and squalane? Forget about flaking under makeup or drying out your skin!

I love, love the All in One Cleansing Foam, Correct & Perfect Spot Treatment, All-Over Blemish Solution (see review here) and of course, the Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel.

Unfortunately, these products are on the expensive side, so they don't lend themselves to impulse buys or "let's see" test runs...especially in this economy with these absurd gas prices. But fear not, my penny pinching friends! MD Skincare has introduced 3 new "Skin Happens" sampler sets that let you try out oodles of their products for only $45. Depending on your skin concern, choose Clear Up, Even Out, or Calm Down.

My pick is the Clear Up kit, targeted to breakout prone skin, since it houses ALL my MD favorites and presents the best value of the three ($100 worth of product for $45). You'll get:

• 15 applications of the Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel
• 1.7 oz Powerful Sun Protection SPF 30 Sunscreen Lotion
• 1.7 oz All-in-One Cleaning Foam
• Tinted Moisturizer Sunscreen SPF 15 sample
• 0.17 oz Correct & Perfect Spot Treatment deluxe sample
• 0.5 oz All-Over Blemish Solution deluxe sample
