I really liked the 3-phase skincare but tried something else after using it up (Phase 3). I keep trying new things - but always seem to come back to Aura Science. I'm using Phase 2 now and LOVE the bar cleanser. I usually hate bar cleansers, but it's gentle and so easy to keep one bar at the sink and one in the shower.
The smaller sized moisturizer is a pain to get out of the bottle - it's totally worth it to purchase the larger size with the pump. Reduces waste.

MY HG SKINCARE LINE! I was skeptical to try a skincare line being sold at a store that sells glitter lotion and bras (victoria's secret) but the sophisticated red packaging (Aura science phase two) really drew me in. I paid $35 for the entire set which includes face wash, prep (toner) and moisturizer. It cleared my hormonal acne and keeps my face feeling fresh! And, my skin is so sensitive, it even breaks out when I use rather mild lines like shiseido! ITS BETTER THAN ANYTHING IVE EVER TRIED! I even got my mother using this line. I will never try anything else again. :)

I got the set on sale for a little less than $10 during the semi-annual sale. The SA said it was being clearanced because it was doing to be repackaged, but I don't think it has been. Anyway, I use the Phase Two gel cleanser, toner, and Light Lotion for my oily skin. The cleanser and toner were very gentle and did not irritate my skin at all nor did they leave it feeling dry or tight. It did nothing to alleviate the oiliness of my skin though. The moisturizer was just barely adequate and I used this during the summer. I love the sturdy red bottles; they look very modern. But that's not enough to make me want to repurchase this particular set. I would only recommend this to people with fairly clear skin who just want a very basic skin care regime. continued >>

I've been using this product for about 2 years - back when they had their own store at a mall near my apartment. The three step cleansing system is really great. I've tried loads of products before - ranging from Clinique to Cetaphil - but this really does the trick on my combination skin. It has also helped me cut down on break outs and uneven skin tone.
Now I need to buy the product at VS but I'm just relieved I can still get it. I've used the 3 step cleansing system which is great. The mask is good. Other products from this line - like the eye make up remover and disappear (spot treatment for break outs) - are decent but not amazing. Go ahead and pick them up if you're around during the VS semi-annual sale. But they won't stop the clock or anything.

Liked the cute bottles got this on sale @ VS this set is not bad. I got the red ones. I really like the moisturizer. Cleanser and toner just ok. Leave my face feeling squeaky clean which i'm not crazy about. But it doesn't break me out or iritate my sensitive skin. Will finish but not sure if i'd buy again

I've had the most awesome experience of working for Victoria's Secret for the past two years. I recently got transfered to an all Beauty store where they carry Aura. I was really skeptical of trying it. I have normal/dry skin but break out frequently. I tried their phase 3 for normal/dry with the disapear. My skin broke out the first two weeks, but has been wonderful now. Maybe that was a cleansing process? Don't know, but love it. I got two of the other young girls at work to try it! Now none of us has to wear foundation anymore!!! We are so excited!! Give it a try. Also I used Proactive for years. My face looks sooooo much better now that I stopped.

I got this from a very generous MUAer, the PHASE ONE cleanser has been GREAT, and I've been adopting it as my HG cleanser for now because it's been doing a great job! I had been using Shiseido cleanser but never realized how STRIPPING it was until I got AS. This is so much gentler and still gets impurities out. I have the mask too but haven't had time to use it that much, it helped to dry up a pimple on my chin however.

This stuff saved my skin. I started using it last summer (Phase One) and noticed a difference right away. My skin is so much clearer and smoother. I love it! The moisturizer is especially nice. I have combination skin and it is just moisturizing enough to combat the toner's drying properties while not making my face look like an oil slick. It also works great as a base for my foundation.

I bought this on whim because the Victoria's Secret SA seemed very convincing. That said, i was a little weary about it since i didnt read any reviews on it but excited. I use Phase 2 (red bottles) and i've used the system for about 3 weeks now and its wonderful stuff. I bought it 3 for 35 dollars which is even better! The cleanser cleans all my eye/face makeup off and gives me a squeaky clean feeling. The toner (was told to pat the soaked cotton pad on my face, not rub)is a great replacement for my disc aveeno one. and my fav- the hydration lotion is everything i wanted a face lotion to be! a small pump gives me enough product for my face and neck. since it doesnt have spf, i use this at night. it soaks in right away and i wake up happy. =) overall, i love this system. its not too harsh on my skin and has really changed the appearance of my skin for the better. EDIT: I've changed my ratings from high to low. after a month of using this, my face started staying the same with the same redness and i think turns oilier throughout the day...which resulted in acne... no good.

I have been using aura science phase three now for two weeks and i am very please with the results. I have noticed much softer smoother skin. My skin tone is looking so much more even and clearer. My skin use to have those dry crinkly spots around the cheek area and it has now plumped up. This is the first product i have found that made a great difference for such a great price. I use to use Awake and just the moisterizer alone is $45.00 And for $55.00 for the whole three step system it is a great buy. Especially when you purchase it on sale for all three for $35.00. I highly recommend in trying it. If you dont like it you can always return it for a full refund at VS. The products went on sale again so i purchased a replenish set.

A good, basic skincare regimen. Much better than Clinique, but just a wee step below Shiseido. Prefect for those who have "normal" or combo skin. Not enough 'pow' for acne skin. Just warning those who seek clearer acne free skin. I preferred Proactiv much more.

I did care care for these products at all. I first stated with the Phase 3 and that was way to heavy for my dry skin. I went back and Got Phase 2 and that wasn't helping my skin just making it very filmy feeling. I returned all the products for a refund. I would not recommend these products.

I use phase 2 hydrate (red). My skin tends to get extra dry during the winter but for summer using all 3 products makes my skin glowy and oily. (not in a good way) If i drop the last step of putting on the 'rich lotion' then i'm set for the day. The entire set was about US$50. Not really worth the money. Packaging is plain. Nothing special. Wouldn't buy again unless I had seriously dry skin.

they sell this line at victorias secret, and its pricey compared to my usual drugstore neutrogena/clean&clear purchase. but i was sold with the quality that these products have. theyre rich in antioxidants which is important to keep myself looking youthful. i sampled these products and theyre very light and light scented. i use the phase 2 red line collection for normal/dry skin. i have an oily tzone but get pretty dry everywhere else. the cleanser is creamy and light, it really cleanses well, removes my makeup and leaves my face feeling clean without feeling dry. i use the prep toner and dab with cotton ball, this moistens my skin and then top it off with the hydrator, which is very very light. my face doesnt feel greasy and that helps my tzone, but it moistens the dry spots (cheeks and around the lips). i noticed after a few days of using that my skin was smoother and brighter, i dont break out often and i dont have too many problems with blemishes. also i use the sunscreen in the same phase for when ill be out, i just replace the hydrator with the spf. i like this line, its pricey but worth it for the quality. its much cheaper than the department stores brands like lancome and stuff. i would buy again. continued >>

I was reluctant to try this product until my mother gave it rave reviews. I got the 3 step regimine around Christmas time and have used it ever since. I use Phase 3 and the foaming cleanser is the best. I have never used a cleanser to remove eye makeup before. I used a separate cleanser for that area. But not anymore! I have not had ONE breakout in 4 months. I use to have the once a month breakout, but not anymore. I recommend at least trying it. You can even purchase the best deal off of QVC-the whole package for only $30. It was slightly more at the store. It turned a skeptic into a fan.

UPDATE: Forget what i said before. After using this for about 3 weeks, its drying out my skin terribly that i had to bring it back for a refund. I realized that all 3 products contain a large amount of alcohol which isn't good for my sensitive skin. *sigh. still searching for skincare products. I'm also changing the rating. THIS IS WHAT I WROTE BEFORE: (used for about a week) i was introduced to this line recently at victorias secret. I started using it for about a week and i notice a change in my skin. It looks healthier, less itchy, and it's more balanced. It is the best skincare line i have used before. I have tried practically every skin care line and i was not very impressed. I have very sensitive skin and this works fine with me. I was matched up with phase 1 which is for oily/normal. I would definitely buy again when i run out. The price isn't too bad either.

Hi all,
I've used AS in the past but never really kept using it consistantly. After, reading everyone's raving reviews on this product line, I decided to give it another try and must I say this stuff is really GREAT! My skin felt really soft & smooth right away. I'm very dissapointed that they have decided to close down the actual store at the mall near my way and that now all their products will be sold at Victoria's Secret istead. I guess that as long as they don't go out of business I'll be OK. In the past I was using Neutrogena and cocoa butter but my skin was feeling a bit rough & dry. I also think that the Prep toner from Aura Science is very refreshing on my skin and I'm hoping it'll help open up my pores and clear them. I'm currently using the #2, red line for my normal to dry skin. I highly recommend this line to everyone. Any suggestions?
Thanks for listening! continued >>

the shopping experience at AS store totally changed my whole attitude towards skincare. i am going to miss it sooooooo much!! i wish Victoria's Secret Beauty is going to carry AS's skincare line with the same kind of shopping experience. but anyhow, i never met any skincare product with such great quality in this totally affordable price range. i use phase 2 normal skin. but i love to use oily type and dry type for certain times of the year or certain times of my skin cycle. normally, i definitely love the soap-bar type of facial cleanser. it totally controls oil in my t-zone area, and i believe the solid type cleanser has less additives and preservatives in it...well i don't really know the truth but i feel the skin can absorb prep lotion and moistualizer the best after using the soap-bar cleanser. i will keep use this series as long as they will be around and unless find anything better.

Going to the aura science store was a one of a kind experience. it was a cold night, and i was offered a wamred moist hand towel, heavenly! then the sales associate helped me discover my skin needs, and sent me on my way with samples of the system I should follow. I loved the three step system when I tried it, and went back to purchase the set. I love the store, love the products, love the overall experience.

I haven't tried all three steps, but the Phase 3 foaming cleanser rocks! A small dollop the size of a dime completely cleans my entire face without stripping. The price is pretty good, too, since AS usually has many GWPs or coupons. This is now my staple cleanser.
