Best Skin Regimen For 50S (2024 Update)

I received the “Clarins Double Eye Serum” complimentary in exchange for my honest opinions/reviews. This “DOUBLE” eye serum was already a bit unique with the title (in my opinion). The instructions threw me off for a second (but I was grateful for them!) as I was instructed to mix two different liquid-y oils/creamies together? One of them had a creamy-ish/milky texture to it, while the other one was a lot more ‘like-water,’ I was skeptical, but they actually mixed pretty well together (leading me to wonder, why have me do it?) It was a little inconvenient – perhaps just due to the way the sample packs are laid out – I never felt like I quite got them even, but I’d imagine the full sized product has all of that under control. Once mixed applied, it felt pretty lightweight, not sticky – seemed to blend right in. It felt very easy to glide around with minimal pressure – which is obviously ideal around the sensitive eye area. After using this for a week (2x a day – AM + PM) which lasted me nearly an entire two weeks – I have noticed the skin around my eyes seems to be more hydrated (less cracking or makeup wearing out throughout the day visibly) and eyes look more plump – almost like needle-less filler. Sign me up! I’m big on smells – and the scent to this serum provided an oddly relaxing sensation – a bit like when you go to the spa. Not too intense, but enough to feel like you’re getting pampered. Although it began as a learning experience, I quickly realized that only a little could go quite a long way. I feel this is probably most effective too, as the few times I felt I used too much – it seemed to take a bit to uncover where all the excess was to go. All in all, I really loved this little treat and feel I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking, specifically, for an eye serum!!amanda.m

//What it is/for: An age control serum for your eyes/ eye contour. (Intensive anti-aging eye treatment)Suitable for all ages, all skin types and all ethnicities, as well as sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers. //Claims: – more youthful-looking eye contour -smooths wrinkles, reduces puffiness and dark circles and strengthens the skin – AFTER 28 days of use: 90% wrinkles are reduced, smoother skin, revitalised skin, firmer skin and even skin //How I used it: I took 1 sample packet; folded it in half, pressed the inside and outside to get as much product out as possible, mixed the cream and oil products together in my hands, applied onto eyelids, under eye area to temples and lastly between my brows. I also used this product with my facial massager but I only used this product at night, along with a cleanser before and a serum and moisturiser after. //Scent: It honestly reminded me of when I had my hair box hair dyed in the 90s; kinda floral and kinda chemically? But this wasn't a strong scent after applying and having it dry. //Consistency: The cream side appeared white and like a body lotion/ milky rich consistency while the opposite side was an orange coloured oil, when blended together it felt like a lightweight serum. //Improvements: packaging: this packaging is not meant for people with arthritis in their hands… I really wish it was 2 little perfume bottles to mix together. //Did it work?!: By the 4th night I did see improvement to my dark circles/ sunken eyes on the outermost side/temples. When I stopped using this product I noticed my skin wasn't as hydrated around the eye area. #gotitfree #doubleserum #clarinskincare #thisisbutterly #butterly #chickadvisor #ProductReviewClubXTABZK

Thank you, Butterly @thisisbutterly and Chick Advisor @chickadvisor, for selecting me for Wave 2 of @clarinscanada Clarins Double Serum campaign. I received a complimentary 7-day treatment sample of Clarins Paris Double Serum (Hydric + Lipidic System) Complete Age Control Concentrate to test and review. This unique anti-aging two-phase serum contains 21 different beneficial plant extracts, including turmeric, to help fight skin aging plus other botanicals to help firm, smooth, and boost the radiance of your skin. I gave this product a try for a week. Not sure if I see a difference in my fine lines yet, but my combination skin does feel smooth and is relatively hydrated. I used it once a day, mostly at night, after cleansing my face. You mix both phases of the serum together, before applying to your face. It felt refreshing on my face, perhaps a bit tingly which worried me. Clarins Double Serum “universal texture” claims to be suitable for “all ages, all ethnicities and all skin types”, including my sensitive skin. I didn’t break out after using this product, but the fragrance, although pleasant smelling, was a bit strong for my skin. I may purchase this product again if I got it on sale. I would recommend Clarins Double Serum to those looking for a luxe anti-aging serum. #DoubleSerum #ClarinsSkinCare #gotitfree #cadeau #ChickAdvisor #ProductReviewClub #thisisbutterly #clarinscanada #clarinsdoubleserum #SephoraSarahPS

I was excited to try this product so I ordered it. When I got it, I wasn’t expecting to get such small bottles for $50+ for the first shipment, but anyway, I tried all the products that came, and the exfoliate and face wash do make your skin very soft and smooth, I will say that. The other products that came with it, make your face feel very nice. The kind of nice you think of when you’re doing something good for your skin. It also has a nice smell to it. They send larger bottles with the second order and every time after that and each shipment is suppose to be a 60 or 90 day supply ( sorry I can’t remember which ) But I’ve got to say, the $203.85 for each shipment is NOT worth it. I actually am sending my products back. Oh, and b.t.w., You can use the entire product and send back the empty bottles and you’ll still get a complete refund. #marc.m

First of all, I have combination skin and at it's worse, it's oily. Originally, I started using Meaningful Beauty when I was 19 and it was being sold via infomercial on TV. I saw the infomercial and I was sold when they explained the formulation. Plus, Cindy Crawford was pushing it and she's gorgeous, so I said "why not!" It made my skin beautiful, as promised. I stopped using it because at 19, it was expensive and I couldn't handle the auto-deliveries! Since then, I have been on a skincare journey, looking far and wide for something comparable. From the brands with the famous doctors, to the expensive all natural types, nothing was ever as good. Then kids, hormones, and age kicked in. I'm now closer to 40 and almost gave up! I was suffering from hormonal breakouts around my chin and was losing confidence quickly. Then I saw this on the Ulta website. I figured, if it worked well for me in the past before my skin problems, it wouldn't hurt to try it again. I'm so glad I did! I've been using it for almost a weak and my skin has cleared SIGNIFICANTLY. My breakouts on my chin have minimized and my skin is feeling more radiant. The texture has softened and my skin is glowing…but not oily! Needless to say, I'm sticking to this, since it's been tried and true for me. And having it on Ulta is the best! I don't have to deal with auto-ship!rachelp12

Okay, I have used my share of products and I'm only 30 but my chief concerns with my face are dryness, fine lines and wrinkles, and dark circles under eyes. This stuff is amazing. The youth activating serum is my favorite. It literally brightens my skin and makes it glow after one application. It goes on a bit thicker than other serums I've used but it dries without a sticky residue. The night cream is also thicker. The eye cream plumps my under eye bags so much my husband asked me in the morning if I had allergies. I've noticed the dark circles are not gone but faded enough that I really don't need makeup to hide them. All of it takes about 5 minutes to set before you can start the makeup process. The only thing I've noticed is that my face feels a bit dry by bedtime and my under eye bags sink and wrinkles are back but once I reapply my skin feels instantly refreshed. The set itself looks like it is a one month supply or so, depending on your usage. I don't use the soap that comes with the set as I use Neutrogena face wipes and don't have issues with clogged pores or acne.J

I bought this after seeing so much about it on social media. I purchased this, along with the Oil-In-Creme infusion (as a night cream) and the DayWear 72hr hydration sorbet cream. I also received a free gift that contained the Perfectly Clean foaming cleansing wash. I was still suffering from dry, flaky skin after using retinol, though I had stopped for around 2 weeks. I've tried a few moisturizers to try and restore my skin with little improvement. The night I received my order, I used the cleaning wash, followed by the ANR Serum, then the Oil-in Creme infusion. I wasn't expecting miracles, but was looking for some improvement to my skin. WOW!! By morning, my skin felt incredibly smooth and supple, the flakes were all but gone and the redness significantly reduced. Now, my skin looks better than it ever has – smooth skin, pores less visible, fine lines less visible. The serum has a really luxurious feel to it and soaks into the skin beautifully. When I apply moisturiser over the top, I don't experience any pilling like I have with other serums, particularly ones with hyaluronic acid. I no longer need a primer and my make up applies so well and lasts all day. For work, I use a drop of this serum to sheer down my Double wear foundation and it works a treat! At night I put a little on my lips before vaseline and wake up with lovely soft lips. This really is a multitasker and I would highly recommend it!Kelly

EL night repair has more of a shaper more herbal medicine type of scent to it and it feels a little sting on my skin and sometimes I had ended with irritation and redness from the EL serum and other times I was okay. I feel when my skin is exfoliated sensitive then EL is likely to irritate I believe because of some of the ingredients in this. However I love the chamomile flower extract it's a wonderful ingredient I hope to see again in other products like the now discontinued double wear light soft matte hydra makeup had it too and was calming for redness. EL serum has a lot of claims but idk why it feels harsh on the skin for me sometimes even then it has chamomile, and also it has this type ingredient, that I find extremely weird, "Oleth-3 (comedogenic rating of 5), Oleth-5 (comedogenic rating of 3), and Oleth-3 phosphate (comedogenic rating of 2), I don't understand why these are in the EL advanced night repair serum especially with a comedogenic ingredient of rating 5 for me is a huge red flag especially that the claim in the description of the serum is "non-acnegetic won't clog pores" I'm not a cosmetic chemist but that just sounds bad when I looked up the ingredients and found this out. Overall i really like the serum but for the price EL serum needs to be truly calming on the skin and formula has room for improvement to not cause irritation. I have switched to Lancome and I am really enjoying the Lancome Advanced Genifique Face Serum. For high price The packaging is so much more beautiful than the Estee Lauder night repair serum and has the same exact texture, even better, most of all Lancome doesn't irritate my skin like EL night repair does. Lancome Genifique Face Serum has a very delicate fragrance and it's truly soothing on the skin,I mix it with my EL double wear foundation as it makes it a hydrating formula. EL is far superior in makeup and better ingredients, I buy so much more from EL. But the night repair serum shouldn't have a comedogenic ingredientJanna

I was super thrilled to finally have this complimentary deluxe miniature arrive in the mail from Estee Lauder! I previously tried and reviewed their eye serum, and remember how adorable the Robin’s egg blue box was with the gold foil accent. Inside came the miniature version of the Advanced Night Repair, Estee Lauder’s flagship serum. The serum comes in a dark amber vial with a dropper for the cap. Upon applying the product to my cleansed face, the softly amber-tinted serum adhered to my skin like magical dew drops. I personally much prefer a pump to a dropper, especially when it comes to something as runny as a serum. I was a sight to behold as I clumsily used the teeny tiny dropper to strategically dispense the serum evenly across my face – admittedly creating a bit of a mess in my sink in the process. This is a very concentrated serum, and I hadn’t realized that until I checked my skin about 15 minutes later. Even with my extremely dry skin, I managed to maintain the healthy, nourished, dewy look this product achieved. I have to subtract a star, because I did feel a bit of what I would describe as a slight greasiness after most of the product had absorbed. The plus to this, is that my skin was able to maintain it’s moisture and healthy glow. The downside is that I cannot stand touching my face and feeling any sort of “film” on top. The premise of this product is to replenish and renew your skin’s moisture barrier by night and provide powerful antioxidant protection against free radical damage induced by modern day stressors by day. While the anti-aging properties can be judged after weeks of consistent use, you will notice a visible boost to your skin’s radiance with just one dropper. Not sure I have found the fountain of youth, but we shall find out.keith.b

I love skinceuticals and have tried a lot of their products, so when they have a kit of my faves for any money off I jump at the chance considering they don’t really offer discounts. This kit is great but I must admit that when I ordered it from this site I got totally different products than what are in the display photo. I was looking forward to another bottle of Resveratrol since I’ve been out of it for a while and I love their Vitamin C products. In this set you actually receive two bottles of the Hyaluronic serum, which is wonderful and doesn’t cause breakouts, a tub of the high moisture lipid cream, and the A.G.E. Cream I believe. I almost contacted Dermstore but then realized that despite having the wrong display photo they have the correct products listed in their description box. They should still know so they can change the photo and refrain from confusing anyone else but I kept the kit because I still enjoy the products I received.Katie

Removed a point for packageing. Nice set to buy because its cheaper to get this set than buy then individually. Comes in a nice black box. Only complaint is the packaging. Wish they spend less on packaging and no need for the box, so they could pass the savings down to customers. Also, the Resveratrol BE, if it comes with a lid like the A.G.E, when its slmost done I could open it to use every little drop of it. These products are not cheap and like to scrap every part. It's in a glass container and can't break it or open it.L

I've used the Transformation Face Cream off and on for years (I like to rotate products) – it's a great night cream and I love the scent and the silky feeling of the cream. Also think my skin looks dewy and moisturized in the morning. I tend to apply a generous amount. The Bioclear lotion has been great for breakouts and I'm looking forward to trying the other products. I like buying sets with products I know I already love so that I can explore other great products. The Jan Marini line is high quality so I'm expecting good results!Amy

The texture is amazing and feels heavenly, it's like a whipped cream. And is quite heavy (in a good way). But unfortunately, it irritated the sensitive parts of my face, but then again my skin is pretty reactive. Maybe I used too much? (I used two pea sizes.) In any case, I'm not going to risk it again will instead use it on my neck. Customer Care: Hi Snowy, thanks for your review. I'm sorry that your skin was sensitive to our Omega+ Moisturizer. This isn't a typical response, but everyone's skin is unique and what might work for one person, does not for others. I'm glad to hear that you will continue to use this on your neck! The combination of light texture and intense hydration is a great way to replenish skin without weighing it down. Kind regards, Marissa – Paula's Choice Customer CareSnowy

I love this moisturizer! I came across it on a YouTube video while looking for hydrating moisturizers. I have combination skin and my skin feels so hydrated after using this. It’s important to note that I pair this with the Laniege hyaluronic revitalizing toner which is also very hydrating. I also use an exfoliating cleanser, Paula’s Choice vitamin C serum and Innisfree sunscreen during the day. I use the moisturizer at night as well with other products. Love the combo! I barely have any breakouts and the ones I’ve had healed sooo fast.Gbemsss

Paula’s Choice Omega+ Complex Moisturizer is a rich cream that nourishes dry skin and help improve moisture retention by using superfood omega fatty acids and replenishing ceramides and antioxidants. Key Ingredients: – Chia Seeds replenishes moisture and calms stressed skin – 5 Ceramides skin identical hydrators that visibly soften fine lines and wrinkles – Omega Fatty Acids (3, 6, and 9) help skin retain hydration by fortifying its vital moisture barrier – Flaxseed promotes visibly stronger, revitalized skin – Guava is a potent antioxidant and a source of Vitamin C This has a whipped creamy texture that feels smooth and buttery. It’s a cloudy-milk white in color and contains no fragrance. There is a natural scent to it but I don’t find it to be bothersome. It sinks into my skin easily but does leave behind a slight stickiness at first. I love that it doesn’t clog my pores or cause me breakouts. With ingredients like Omega Fatty Acids and Ceramides this moisturizer is super nourishing and soothing and is great for barrier repair and irritated skin. I’ve used 2 travel sizes over the past month and my skin is smooth and soft after each use, skin appears to be more supple and visibly healthier. I don’t find this to be occlusive enough for me at night so I use in my AM routine. I would recommend to all skin types. PROS: ✅ Free of Fragrance and Alcohol ✅ Doesn’t clog pores or cause breakouts ✅ Nourishing and Soothing ✅ Skin is softer and more smooth ✅ Skin is more supple ✅ Doesn’t leave skin feeling greasy ✅ Helped repair compromised skin barrier ✅ Skin appears healthier CONS: ❌ Not always occlusive/moisturizing enough for me ❌ The natural scent may not be for everyone ❌ Leaves skin feeling slightly sticky for a bitcourtney .h

I received this product as a free sample from Influenster and Biossance in exchange for my honest opinion, which I really appreciate. This serum works great for me! I have a combination to oily skin, which easily becomes dehydrated, especially during winter, when the weather is freezing and the heating is on. The formula is moderately thick and viscous, but it's lightweight and very hydrating. The application is effortless. I love using the dropper applicator to measure the required amount of the product. As it glides smoothly on the skin, you do not need a lot of it. The serum is not sticky, nor greasy. It absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving a bit dewy finish. Yet, it doesn't make the skin overly shiny. I use it after the toner and before the moisturizer. It doesn't clash with any products. When my skin feels tight after the cleanser, the serum gives it instant relief. I've been using it for around three weeks now and I love the way my skin feels and looks as a result. It's hydrated, plump and supple. The fine lines and wrinkles have become less visible and I haven't noticed any flaking or dryness since I started to use it.viruzzzka

I was introduced to Biossance through Influenster particularly this serum. When I tested the product my skin instantly felt more bouncy and it didn’t break me out. So I decided to read more on the brand what ingredients they use and I was very impressed. I decided to order the squalane omega repair cream, eye cream and the rose oil. Ever since I turned 30 my skin has become more dry and I have been battling hormonal acne and dermatitis that seemed to never go away. I have spent thousands of dollars on skin care products and prescription products that either did not work or would cause more irritation. I have also lost some weight recently that made my skin on my face feel like it was sagging. This skincare line has absolutely changed my life and I will never waste my money on anything else. My skin is soft firm the fine lines are nonexistent. Iv been wearing less and less make up and my skin just looks so glowing and healthy.Sajra

Another winning product that i love from The Ordinary. This is a gorgeous blue serum and I dont know it sparks joy for me when its time to do my skincare routine. I dont know about you but I have a handful of those special products that make me excited to put on and this is definitely one. As for the price of this, it is a bit higher than most of the brands products but it is very fair for the amount and quality. Copper peptides in skincare products are always on the higher side but again I think this is more than fair. Copper peptides serve as an antioxidant, promote collagen and elastin production making this great for anyone who wants to prevent signs of aging or to just use in your anti-aging skin regimen. Copper peptides have shown that they can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and my skin loves this and I always feel plump and supple afterwards. I have been using this daily sometimes twice a day along with The Ordinary's Argireline and Matrixyl (i love my peptides). After 3 months of using these 3 serums daily I started to see a notice in my forehead wrinkles, I unfortunately didn't take any pictures to show anyone because I didn't think I'd be writing a review but I really wish I had and I promise ill get better with this for my future reviews. All in all this will continue to be a staple in my routine and i definitely recommend it/them. In fact I already have bought my replacements for "just in case," I don't know if anyone else is like that but I get really bad anxiety when I'm close to running out of any skincare I like!erika .l

I've never posted a skin care review before, but I was so stunned by this that I'm doing it now in the hopes that they never, ever discontinue this product. My results with other serums, creams, and lotions have ranged from "I think I look a little better" to completely destroying my skin (prescription retinoid, which gave me huge visible pores and ruined my texture.) Prior to this I had seen some good result brightening with the Vitamin C product, but I wanted to see more because I was really unhappy with my texture and discoloration issues (age spots, sun damage, etc.) Well, after only a few weeks, my skin was completely transformed- I mean, GLOWING. I thought it was the combination, but I ended up discontinuing the Vitamin C and nope- it just kept getting better. It's this!!! I can't compare it to the normal Buffet, but I can say with certainty that this formula has taken my skin from rough, dehydrated, damaged-looking, and rapidly aging to smooth, glowing, and much younger looking. I don't even wear makeup most days anymore; the only other products I use are CeraVe night and eye creams, and LaRoche Posay w/SPF daytime lotion. I'm sold for life. I love The Ordinary, and it's so affordable. THANK YOU!!!!SarahG

I wanted to love this product, but it caused breakout issues. I had been using niacinamide and vitamin C and it was working great. I did not love the feeling of the Vitamin C product so I thought I would try the Buffet and Buffet + Copper Peptide. I quit the vitamin C product 2 weeks prior to using the Buffet to avoid irritation. A week after using these products I had noticeable breakouts. I used to struggle with acne for years before having it majorly improved. I thought maybe this is a purge stage so I kept going, but it kept getting worse. Days after stopping this routine my acne cleared up significantly. I had tried just the Buffet +copper peptides but I found that was the product that caused me to break out (the regular Buffet did not). I did not go back to my old routine as I ran out of these products, but my simply cleanse and moisturizer routine have helped. I will probably add back in the niacinamide and vitamin C. I used this for about 3 months to really try to give it a full chance but I am just sad it did not work. My skin is typically oily, but can become dry if I mess up my routine. I tend to have really nice dewy skin (I just wanted to aid in preventing signs of aging), but this product caused texture irregularities.Sarah

This product is amazing, the first week I had skin irritation but now it is fine. The facial wash is wonderful, the skin creams are great and feels good on your skin. Pores are getting dramatically smaller, skin feels smooth not dry not oily, noticing wrinkles diminishing and neck getting rid of its wrinkles. I have only been using this product for close to three weeks and can't wait to see what month two will reveal. This is my go to face products. I used various other products, such as roden and fields, arbonne, mary kay, etc. , before researching and purchasing this one which I am forever thankful for finding. Folks if your hesitant on trying this product go for it, you wont regret purchasing and using it.amy f.

I would like to say a big thank you to Face Dr. from filling out the form to receiving the call to discuss my skin to actually getting my products was so quick, helpful and easy!!! The support and information I received was amazing, I have had issues with my skin and have gone through MOHS operations for skin cancer, I now need to do everything possible to protect and take care of my skin, when I explained this to Julia she was extremely helpful and knowledgeable and helped me get the correct products to help me, Julia even emailed me information on how to use the products, I’m truly grateful for the help and couldn’t recommend Face Dr enough, fantastic first rate service!! I feel like if I did have any issues or needed further advice I could contact Face Dr and they would be able to answer my questions. I am thinking about purchasing more ZO SPF 50 tinted moisturiser in the near future and it will be from here I will be purchasing. I can certainly start to see and feel a difference in my skin with using that ZO daily skincare and I’ve only been using it for around 2 weeks but I’m impressed so far. Thanks so much Happy customer Vicky HoustonVicky H.

I work as a Surgical Trauma ICU nurse and I honestly cannot find anything that helps my skin as perfect as this anti-aging program does. There is noticeable difference that I can see when I run out of product because wearing the N95 for 12 hours does a number on my pores. My face feels smooth, without any texture, and the overall glow that I have is amazing! I am starting to wear less and less makeup because I feel so confident and beautiful with the way my skin looks on a daily basis. My skin tone has evened out and somehow I look refreshed even after working nightshift. I don’t get much time to take care of myself or pamper myself, but investing in this Zo kit really serves as a reminder how important it is to take care of ourselves mentally, emotionally, physically. The results for me have been consistent and life-changing.Flavia D.

Skin is smoother, firmer, complexion is more even-toned. Multiple steps can be cumbersome at times but generally speaking not difficult to create and follow a routine. Price on the higher end, but for the products and results it is worth it. I'd rather pay more for something that works, than to pay less for skincare that doesn't make much of a difference.rheiannon.b

Life-changing SKINCARE: This is the motto of Rodan Fields – and they don't disappoint. I had the opportunity to sample this product; and I was impressed. They take the mystery out of skincare by dividing their products into 4 categories: Redefine, Reverse, Unblemished and Soothe. Redefine focuses on Anti-Aging, Reverse on Age Spots and Uneven Skin Tone, Unblemish for Acne, and Soothe for sensitive and irritated skin. I did some research, and I read that this skincare line is not only Dermatologist based – these are the 2 Dermatologists from the creators of the Proactive line! Knowing this, I was impressed and excited to try my Redefine samples to address my anti-aging concerns. And it worked! I noticed an immediate difference. As not only was I gifted the Redefine samples, but also the Glow samples which include a Micro-Dermabrasion Paste, an Intensive Renewing Serum and a Lip Renewing Serum. And after all this Self Care, I did notice a positive difference. My skin was polished and moisturized and had a glow that I hadn't seen in a long time. And don't take my word for it – in the packaging you can see Before and After photos which reflect the efficacy of their product. And Rodan Fields has taken the marketing approach that Avon and Tupperware succeeded with – consultants who are everyday people. So, look up Rodan and Fields on Social Media, find a consultant and discover this healing product. You won't regret it. The only concern that I have is the high price point. Yes, it's a high end product; however, Avon and Tupperware wasn't marketed towards the rich, but for the average woman. Overall, I was grateful to pamper my skin in this luxurious and healing product.patricia .t

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I do not give five stars like very very very picky about that and everyone should be really if you are a ongoing reviewer because it can make someone think something about a product that you’re not exactly trying to say you know a lot of confusion can go both ways so I try to be very picky about five stars however, these women or I mean after all they are women so of course they’re going to come up or be women that comes up with the very best anti-aging because I’m going into my mid-30s anti-aging creams and serums in a regimen because this is a skin regimen when you use Different products are the same brand on your skin a day every day I’m sure everyone knows the definition of regimen here LOL so I’m not trying to go back deeply into that I’m sorry. Back to the products you guys it even says on the box 34 to 840 and up this is going to reverse the dark circles are no from experience and that’s all I’m going to speak out is what I have learned from experience playing with my money to purchase a product so I can give you the 100% JIST of what you’re buying and using before you do that! That makes me feel much much better. This is for sensitive skin dry skin Orley skin all skin tops can you find a Rodan + fields Seller? If you’re looking for a skin regiment ring you skin regimen that actually works it takes about a month to two months of using it to get into your stream your whole body you guys know what I mean like when you start MiraLAX you gotta use it like three days before it gets in your bloodstream and actually work so you can use the bathroom for example. Same thing with this regimen your face your skin your blood everything needs to get used to this newness that you’re adding now to your face!I’m not only recommend this to anyone and everyone out there that hasn’t tried it especially call mom but I have recommended a lot of stuff to people that has really really helped them whether it be a lash serum to the best mascara you’re gonna have money by! Because I’ve been to many places I’ve traveled around too much I met too many people and I’m seeing too many things! It’s nothing of me bragging or comparing myself it’s merely letting everyone know that reads any of my reviews on any products that I’m going to give you the 100% truth and facts on what you are thinking about spending your Hard earned money on! I recommend this to you you you you you and you that would mean all of you ladies! If you have even the lease dark spot or some fine lines you want a little lightened so to speak because you’re having your photographs taken a family photographs perhaps, same goes with whitening your teeth a little bit this is just a great of a product but times 10 because it’s for your face and let’s face it that’s the very first thing people see and summer as to who you are don’t tell me why or ask me why because I’ll never understand it even if you do tell me but for some reason a lot of people have summed ME UP By merely my face. Go figure. Recommend this product to anyone and everyone ladies! And possibly even gentlemen it may be for men as well I haven’t made that a specific question but I would definitely definitely if I needed a skin regimen and I was a man I would definitely ask about this from a Rodan and Fields seller.  shannon.c

I have been very lucky to get quite a few of these samples. So I haven't been without this product for about 6 months. It isn't a thick formula, it's a serum, it's not supposed to be. The fragrance is very light. Blends into the skin beautifully and absorbs almost immediately. I don't have any wrinkles so I can't say if this in fact helps with wrinkles, but it is a staple in my skincare regimen. Prevention is the best thing you can do when it comes to the skin on our face. I just placed an order for the 10 piece set and now I'm going to have the full size bottle along with a deluxe sample. Thank you for making such great products. You have a customer for life here.Aamarie339

I never thought at 28 I’d be using a serum like this but I’m actually wondering now I should have been using it sooner!! What a beautiful serum to apply to your skin. I actually look forward to my morning and evenings applying this. It smells lovely, feels lovely and leaves your skin feel totally hydrated! Will be purchasing again.Nikki

The best serum so far. Have been using this serum for almost 2 years. Wake up in the morning, my skin feeling soft and well hydrated. Sometimes using this to mix into my foundation to make extra glow during makeup. Just the drawback- expensive thus only topup when there is good offer like this setfiranadzir

Bought the Mario Badescu Anti Aging Kit to trial. Great quality products, perfect small bottles to trial and test the full range. I have 40yo+ combination skin. Products are gentle and effective. Love each of the products- glycolic cleanser, toner, moisturiser, mask and eye cream. Great multipurpose products with glycolic, or collagen or SPF15 in them. Great price too!MishellyC

The glycolic acid products in this pack are really strong and destroyed my skin. I started getting incrediby congested and was having huge blind pimples pop up immediately after using the foaming cleanser. I followed the instructions and didn't use the cleanser more than a couple of times a week and it still destroyed my skin. I can't believe this pack is sold as 'anti-ageing' because it's extremely harsh and drying. It's a big red flag that the acid products don't say what % of glycolic is included. When I looked up the products to see if the cystic acne had happened to others using these products, I found out that Mario Badescu had previously been sued for leaving out things on ingredients lists that made users skin much much worse. I'm surprised that Mecca continues to promote this brand given that history and the lack of transparency in their product formulation.scholarkardashian

I have combination skin, and I regularly use the brand first aid beauty, but most times I go in store they've been out of stock, so I opted to buy this kit to test it out and possibly switch as it's significantly cheaper than what I normally get. Well after just two days of using as directed I've noticed a significant amount of breakouts and redness in my face. I normally don't have bad acne and when o do get breakouts it's one or two small spots. But my entire face has began to breakout. Also, after washing my face does not feel clean, it only feels super oily. Aside from all of that, the smell is not that great either. It's a cheaper brand, and it's definitely noticeable. The quality of this product is horrendous.Cathryn

I really like this cleanser. I switched out a dermatologist BHA cleanser for this one and I believe it’s made a difference for my inflamed breakouts. My skin is smoother and less inflamed after only a week. I am using in conjunction with the Eminence Calm Skin Chamomile Moisturizer, and I feel like if you are suffering from painful breakouts in addition to irritated or dry skin this cleanser is the best way to go. Especially if you already exfoliate with something like retinol or an AHA, stick with the good stuff that’s gentler on your skin and try out this cleanser. I prefer it to the acne cleansers that are drying and feel like they strip your skin. This one will not do that and it lathers well when you add water, while leaving your skin feeling clean and fresh. Cant really go wrong with Eminence from what I’ve tried but this cleanser is now a favorite.Natalie

I'm 40 years old and have suffered from acne since I was in high school. I've been on every acne medication known to man, including Accutane. I stopped using Retin-A and my prescription cleanser because I didn't want the chemicals on my face anymore after 25 years of using them. My aesthetician used a mixture of Eminence products on me in her salon. They felt good so I figured I would give them a shot. My skin was breaking out really bad when I went to see her (even with using the prescription meds/cleansers). After about three weeks of using a combination of the Eminence products, my face was totally different. I haven't broken out in months now and my acne scaring is diminishing. I was getting a lot of hormonal acne that has totally subsided. I'm convinced it's from the combination of these products. Here is my regimen in case anyone is interested: Morning – wash with Mangosteen Daily Resurfacing Cleanser (only if I have worked out). I have somewhat dry skin so I don't wash my face if I haven't worked out in the morning. Post Workout – wash with Mangosteen Daily Resurfacing Cleanser – my aesthetician told me that it's important to wash my face immediately post-workout since the pH of the skin changes with sweat….even if the wash is with just water. Night – Probiotic Cleanser, Probiotic moisturizer, dab Willow Bark Extract on blemish prone areas and dark spots.Anonymous

Overall really love the Eminence lines but it's taken a bit to find the lines my skin really loves. The Probiotic Cleanser did not end up being a good fit for my skin (dry skin, hormonal, cystic acne, gut imbalance that probably didn't respond well to the yogurt/probiotic/lactic acid). I have been using the Stone Crop Cleanser (+Red Current exfoliator and Stone Crop Whip) instead over the last few months and have found a really good fit there. Not a bad product (always clean smelling & gentle), just not a good fit for me despite sounding perfect based on the description. I am personally finding that all the lines that describe targeting acne either don't help or make my skin worse. So far the more nourishing Eminence lines (and targeting my systematic imbalances w/ a functional medicine doctor), instead have been great!Anna

I haven’t seen much of change , I have been using it for almost 2 months now. The price was fair considering the amount . I won’t purchase again. I use it at night as stated in the directions. I have a very thorough skincare regimen, so I was excited to try out this product. I am somewhat disappointed considering most products similar have been said to make a visible difference for a majority of users. It doesn’t seem to apply like it’s competitors, it seems that it doesn’t have the typical serum consistency which is disappointing.meg.k

I’ve never written a review, I guess because, I’ve never felt strongly about a product, but I do now.
I believe this is the very best skincare product I’ve ever used. Period! I have use it for 8 days. Yes, 8 days! Twice a day like it says, and no kidding my skin is already improving! My face looks younger—really! The last 3 nights I’ve even put it on my neck and chest, and maybe it’s just wishful thinking, but it’s helping with the lines. I came to this site to order more, so I thought I’d go ahead and let my opinion be known. Buy it! You won’t be sorry!Diane Mathis

I absolutely love this serum, it's moisturizing, helped even my skin and reduced my forehead wrinkles. I was at a point where my facial skin was dry patches and forehead was all wrinkly. I found this retinol serum at a local TJmaxx for $10 and I thought of giving it a try. It's a 30 ml amber bottle with a dropper. I use it morning and evening and in just 2 months of time; my friends started giving me compliments for how my skin looked. I was shocked at what it had done to my skin, in a good way though! It's $13-14 on amazon and super cheap compared to all the high end serums and most importantly it works, it works wonders! I highly recommend it to any women in their mid-20s or later to start using this serum daily.rucha.p

Received the cream in a subscription box. I was a bit underwhelmed based on the packaging but decided to give it a try. My first impression: goes on super smooth, not oily, the perfect fresh fragrance, the tiniest bit goes a long way. After using it for a week I find myself looking forward to using it. I decided to look it up to learn more about the product and holy smoke I had no idea how expensive it was! I would have to think long and hard to purchase it on my own but I could see myself doing it… my skin looks glowy, healthy and feels so smooth. I struggle with texture and constant small breakouts but haven’t had any in the last week. I’m looking forward to seeing the results after a month and beyond. So far… A+++. Hoping Allure makes this a repeat product in upcoming boxes!A

This day cream is an amazing and Beautiful product, that leaves the skin feeling smooth, fresh, soft and rehydrated. I love all the products in this range and I will definitely be buying it again. I know it is very expensive to buy but the product does go a long way, it is amazing quality and honestly I just love it. Spacenk have a super range of products – the go to site for all my beauty and skincare needs (and makeup too!). I would highly recommend this product for all skintypes – young and more mature, as well as for dry and more oily skin types. I would give the product 10/10 without a doubt, not sure there is any other day cream on the market that is as good – 111skin products are excellent and you will notice the difference after a few short weeks.RTW

Soo.. received a sample and my goodness did I look forward to reviewing. I’m not a blogger or reviewer so this is genuinely an honest review which I feel is needed on a price this high. I have NEVER spent this much on a single item but I am genuinely going to buy this. Pro’s- great consistency goes on like a gel but then thins out like an oil, 100% the most hydrating cream I have ever put on my face. I can wear oils, serums and my skin will STILL be dry once I’ve put foundation on, it’ll crack around my nose and chin but using this two nights in a row my dry patches have completely gone, my face doesn’t feel tight and I have this glow on my skin. I cannot tell you how good my skin finally feels. A little goes a long way, first night I put way too much on and I felt like my face stuck to the pillow, second night..perfected with a small drop and spread around. Cons- THE PRICE! Wow how expensive can one cream/serum be. Would 100% not recommend for oily skin, this just wouldn’t work with your combination, it could like like you’re melting. So overall I am so so desperate to buy this (once I’ve saved up enough for it) try and get a sample of you buy something else as you won’t regret it and may save you a fortune if it doesn’t work for you and you’ve only had a sample.Katrina9494

I've just finished my first tube after about 9 months of using it at least 5 nights per week. I was looking for a retinaldehyde product after finding that every retinol product with more than .2 or .3 percent retinol would immediately cause me to get one or two huge, deep long-lasting pimples (which i normally never get). Anyway, after reading about how retinaldehyde (aka retinal) is more effective than retinol but less irritating, i thought I'd give it a try. I love Allies of Skin for their multi-active ingredient focused approach. In addition to retinal, it has a ton of peptides, as well as some good antioxidants and brightening ingredients. This retinal cream is a pleasure to use but not as emollient as I expected, so I usually add a richer moisturizer or occlusive over my dry areas about 5 minutes after applying this. I'm using retinal as an anti-aging preventative measure to delay any further fine lines and discoloration that comes with age, so it's hard to say for sure that this product is working. But I can say that I enjoy using it, and it hasn't caused any breakouts or dryness. I only wish Allies would make a version with .1% retinal, as I am ready to increase to .1% and recently bought a cream from a different brand to get that strength. Hopefully it will be as good as Allies.bahar.a

I’ve only been using for the past 2 weeks (alternating with tretinoin in my Curology rx), but have only good things to say so far as it has caused no irritation to my hypersensitive/reactive skin. I purchased this because I absolutely love and wanted to try another one of AOS’s products—so far, 1A is living up to all the hype! It’s a cosmetically elegant cream with hardly any scent; it smells like the ingredients rather than any added fragrance. One of the things I’ve enjoyed most about 1A is how quick and easy it is to use as a multipurpose nighttime product; I’m used to applying retinoids and waiting 30 minutes for them to fully absorb before applying moisturizer. 1A cut my routine time down by literally half an hour. I added extra moisturizer around my eyes and mouth (as usual), but was otherwise done after washing my face, applying a serum, and applying 1A. A 5 min night routine? Wild! More on 1A, per AOS: “A multitasking overnight mask supercharged with a time-release Retinaldehyde, 13.5% Peptide Complex, 9 Antioxidants, and 5 Brighteners, to hydrate and brighten stressed-out skin, as it reduces signs of premature ageing. Formulated with our patented Ally-R™, an encapsulated form of Retinaldehyde, it smoothens appearance of wrinkles, and fades discolouration, all without any of the traditional irritation. Working while you sleep to boost your skin’s immunity and accelerate rejuvenation, this overnight mask also boosts the skin’s natural reparative process and its defenses against environmental aggressors, giving new life to dull, sallow skin. While nutrient and antioxidant-rich Organic Argan Oil and Arctic Cranberry Seed Oil provide skin with superior hydration. Due to the Retinal content, this formula is not recommended if pregnant/breastfeeding.” Since I’ve not been using it long, I’m hesitant to endorse 1A as enthusiastically as I do MMDC (a product I’ve repurchased multiple times). I would absolutely recommend MMDC (~$90USD) for anyone with acne-rosacea, and I *think* 1A will eventually receive that recommendation too (especially if you can’t use tret), but I’ll update if anything changes after I’ve finished the tube! IIRC, 1A is a little over $100USD for 50mL. AOS has great customer service if you have any questions about their products!ariana.a

I have been using this night cream for about 3 months. I use it not every night but like 3 times a week. It has many active ingredients that usually my skin isn’t happy with. Usually I first see good results but in about two weeks, most of the times, I get some not really pleasant reaction to my skin and always have to stop using this kind of products. But this cream is ideal for me. I don’t know why but my skin kind of likes it. Maybe because it just suits me individually. But I also think it is because it is rather gentle. Anyway I am satisfied with results it gives to my skin. My skin condition has slightly improved. Maybe the result isn’t really dramatic. But I am afraid my skin will react to stronger formulas of retinol. Anyway this cream is a compromise for me. It perfectly absorbs, I don’t feel it on my skin. It has very-very subtle technical smell, that I just don’t feel after applying. And I can see some good results already. But I recommend to test it first before buying.Olga VNT

I prefer this to any other retinol serum I’ve ever used. It is very gentle on my skin and doesn’t cause redness or dryness. It smells wonderful like all Naturopathica products. And it also moisturizes and leaves my skin soft. But I wish I knew exactly how much retinol was in here. Most products give you percentages or dosages. I’m guessing it’s not a lot, since it’s so gentle. I also wish it were cheaper. I only buy it on sale.Vanessa W.

I've been so pleased with this evening moisturizer. My skin is always dewy and supple and smooth. It has a mild, nice scent and is not a heavy cream. It soaks in immediately and always leaves my face feeling fresh right before bed. The formulation is the cleanest i have seen for my sensitive skin. I've been using for several years and it has kept the wrinkles at bay. Would highly recommend !Karen C.

The best face cream I have ever used. I received a sample size in a monthly subscription box, and was instantly hooked! I couldn't believe how soft and supple it made my skin. After three days of use I knew I had to add this to my skin care routine. So glad I did, and found several other great products in the process! The Calendula Moisture Cream is lovely for daytime! And the White Tea Mask is a great reset when my skin has been a bit neglected. Can't wait to try more!Theresa I.

Bought this from Walmart. It’s about $5 and lasts for about half a year. What a great value! It hydrates very well. The only downside for me is that sometimes it makes white traces and have to massage a little longer for it to be fully absorbed.mm.m

I'm a 93 year old male amputee. Very dry skin and age was causing me all sorts of problems. When bumped, my skin would tear easily. I would be periodically covered with band-aids. Chafing would occur to my leg inside of my prosthesis; at times, confining me to my wheelchair for long periods of time. Which at my age is bad news for activity. I have tried various quality ointments and creams, but each had a drawback in someway for my use. In desperation I tried the Advanced Clinicals Anti-Aging Hyaluronic Acid Cream. It satisfied my desires to address my problems. Non-greasy, easy to apply, quick penetrating, softening dry skin areas quickly, lasting long periods of time (a blessing with the prosthesis), above all not messy on my clothes.Al

I will continue to buy for myself and am now getting my daughters to use it! It does wonders for your skin. One of my daughters says it has made the wrinkles around her eyes go away!! I slather on my body when I get out of the shower! Use everyday!! Thanks for having these products!!Mary

I received these products complimentary from Farmacy Beauty. I love these products! Everything smells so nice and not overpowering. The green clean makeup removing cleansing balm is so nice and fun to cleanse my face with it removes the makeup really well. I like that I can just wash it off with a washcloth afterward. The Toner feels really refreshing and like it's doing a good job. The resurfacing night serum I had a hard time getting out of the container maybe it is just me or the sample size I dunno. But it was hard to get it out. The honey halo moisturizer smells so heavenly and soaks into my skin and doesn't feel heavy or greasy like other moisturizers. The only thing is the cleansing balm and moisturizer both come in jars which are nice, but I wish they had a little spatula or something to get the stuff out with. When I use my finger the product gets stuck under my fingernails. I can feel good about using these products because they are clean and not full of junk you don't need in your skincare routine.Shywinter

This is such a wonderful introductory set to try out Farmacy’s awesome line of products that I received complimentary from Farmacy Beauty in exchange for my honest review! I have used Farmacy’s Green Clean (and Clearly Clean) in the past and it’s become a MUST have for makeup removal. It is really amazing! The Deep Sweep 2% BHA Pore Cleaning Toner didn’t irritate my sensitive skin whatsoever and felt great! The Honeymoon Glow AHA Resurfacing Night serum left my skin feeling so soft and smooth the next day. And to top it all off, the Honey Halo Moisturizer not only smells amazing (really like honey!) but it feels so calming after using actives. This is such a perfect set to gift or to buy and try some different products!victoriabyerley

I love every product in this kit! I have dry-combination skin, so I’m always on the hunt for a moisturizer that deeply nourishes and hydrates, without breaking me out. Honey halo is that moisturizer! It’s so creamy, but not greasy and has the lightest honey scent. It’s like my nighttime routine has become a treat and when I wake up, my skin looks glow-y, supple and refreshed. Green clean and deep sweep are the perfect combo for melting away my makeup, refining my pores and gently exfoliating, and I’ve noticed such a difference in the fine lines on my forehead after using honeymoon glow. I’m so glad I’ve finally found a line that addresses all of my skin care needs and actually does what it says it’s going to do! I will definitely be purchasing the full sizes before I run out and I can’t wait to try other products from Farmacy. If you are concerned about dryness, dullness, large pores, or fine lines, this kit is for you!Danielle F.

This trio set me back quite a bit. I don't know what I expected, but absolutely nothing was not the answer. I used this product as directed every day, certain I was going to see a change in my skin, but there was absolutely no change whatsoever. I'm in my 50's and take good care of my skin, but I still expected a hint of brightening, or pore reduction, or smoothing of lines. ZERO!! This product, I don't know what it is, but they are laughing all the way to the bank because they put some inert nonsense into three fancy bottles and pried our hard earned money out of our wallets. And as for pumping the two reactive "agents" together," well it's total nonsense and I think it's two sides of the same 70s cold cream that do nothing for your skin you can't get done for $7 at the drug store. Do yourself a favor and do not buy this product because you are throwing your money away. It is truly modern day snake oil I am sorry to say, there are many products in this price range that will make a difference.KnowsQuality

I ordered this as a TSV with great expectations, I thought for the price it must be good. I used faithfully for the 6 weeks as indicated for the first time period. I saw a little result in the texture and brightness of my skin but feel considering the cost, I have other products that are just as good if not better. So here is the clicker,what is it with QVC instead of the usual paper work on the inside of the box for returns, it's on the outside- 3of3 labels to peel off. The 3rd one should be the return shipping label but there is no #3. So you have to call customer service and wait for the return label in the mail. This same scenario has happened to me twice. What's up with that QVC.Annieatoz

The Phase 3 bottle didn't have enough product in it so I only got 8 days instead of the full two weeks. I was sorely disappointed and frankly feel completely ripped off. Before buying this I read another review on here saying they ran out early too, so I was super careful not to pump the full 2 pumps each time to be sure I had enough (it says 1-2 pumps each time). I couldn't believe it when I ran out of the Phase 3 bottle on day 8. You can't open the bottle to extract the remnants. It was such a big build-up to the most potent formula and then to not get the full quantity left a bitter taste for me. I feel like BeautyBio is incredibly stingy with their quantities. In terms of the actual efficacy of the product, I purchased the GloPRO to ensure I got the absolute best effects from the R45. I noticed some reduced fine lines around my eyes but that's it.suzyq
