To add to my review of the Regenerist serum: I've been using this at night over the serum, and it's working much better than the retinol & AHA cream that I had been using at night. I was on Retin-A for a couple of years for a rosacea-like condition & found that OTC products seemed to work just as well without the peeling & drying (not to mention the hassle of dealing with a prescription). This cream seems to enhance the action of the serum, & my skin is smooth, soft, & the red patches are actually shrinking. It's light & almost a lotion in terms of texture, something that I might use all day in the winter when my skin is dry. My one gripe is the odd pump-type packaging - for these sorts of things, it's much easier for me to deal with a bottle or a jar.

I tried Regenerist (the serum and the cream last night). I am 28, have a normal/dry skin in good condition (never get zits and only a few fine lines in my forehead), but still always want improvement (= looking for troubles). Here are my thoughts about these products:
1) The serum sinks into the skin and leaves it soft (only big issue here, it smells like dish liquid)
2) The cream (which smell like medication) sinks also immediately into the skin, and leaves your skin smooth ... for 5 minutes! After that my skin became all thight (like if the cream was sucking the moisture out of my skin) and sticky, although Regenerist claims to offer a maximum hydratation!
3) In the morning, my skin was totally dehydrated, I had clogged pores around my noses, 2 (little0 zits on my forehead and ... a new fine line around my mouth!!!! (due to dehydratation I assume).

Conclusion: IMO, it's only if I keep using Regenerist that I will need (soon) "drastic measures as chemical peels, cosmetic surgery or laser", dramatic measures thet Regenerist claims to help you avoid. STAY AWAY FROM THESE PRODUCTS IF YOU HAVE DRY/NORMAL SKIN!

Hope this will help!

I've been using this over the serum at night, and my skin glows! Even the guys at my work have asked me why I look so happy recently. The scent may annoy some, but not me. This is now my HG night cream.

I like to use this overtop of the Regenerist serum in the am, makeup goes on great. Contains a special peptide to exfoliate the outer layers of your skin, without harsh abrasives. I really love this cream, esp. for a drug store line. It also comes in a lotion formulation, for those with more combination/oily skins. UPDATE: after using this for about 3 to 4 weeks, started to get whiteheads and breakouts which is rare for me, have quit using it for now!
