Treatments -Collective Wellbeing - Change for the Better, Acne Treatment Kit
angel4212 11/2/2008 12:11:00 AM
Well, if I had reviewed this a month ago, my review would probably have been much different. I am 43 and have always suffered from cystic acne. I used accutane which really helped, but that was 5 years ago and my skin was starting to go through some really funky breakouts. I had small white pimples trapped under my skin for years, and I started getting really strange boil like pimples on my chin area. To make matters worst, I always had at least 3 cystic acne pimples on my face (and they were not small :( . I'm not sure exactly what caused the dramatic change, because I started several new things within several weeks of each other, but now I am scared to change anything. I have been using collective well being for over a month now. At first my skin got dramatically worst, but I kepy using it due to lack of funds to buy anything else. That was definitely a blessing in disguise because I can honestly say I have not had a cystic breakout in over a month. It is just miraculous for me.

OK, I have only been using this for a week now,,,,BUT it is really nothing short of amazing for my skin. I was having TERRIBLE breakouts, like I have never had before, (I am 42) after reading the advice on here and talking to my esthitician, I decided to give this a try. It is very drying and I would advise everyone to ease into step 3 (THE 5% BP) by using it only at night every other night unil you can ease into every night, then gradually add in the morning in the same way. Since I started using it, I have had no new breakouts, it has just brought some to the surface that were festering underneath (which I totally expected). Once I get my face used to the BP step, I will becin adding in Cellex C serum to my routine. Overall this is a great product so far!

Powder -Make Up For Ever - Duo Mat Powder foundation

I really hated this. While I thought it gave good coverage, it was REALLY cakey and totally enhanced my pores which is the last thing I need help with. I returned this to Sephora shortly after purchasing it. Besides being cakey, it made me look lifeless and like I had a mask on. Sorry, I just really don't have anything good too say about it.

Treatments -Derma E - Alpha Lipoic/Grean Tea Advanced Repair Complex
angel4212 3/25/2007 2:20:00 PM
Very good product. I was afraid to use it at first. It is a little bit thick or at least thicker than what I am used to. I suffer from VERY OILY skin, breakouts and little white bumps under the skin. I have incorporated this into my skin care routine and it is great. It does not break me out and theGreen Tea does help prevent future breakouts. Since I have stated my new skin care routine, I have gone from ALWAYS having at least 5 good size pimples on my face to having NONE. Very amazing IMHO.

This is a truly amazing shower gel. When you consider that it is all natural, lathers well, rinses off nicely and has a TRULY DIVINE smell, what more could you ask for? I will repurchase as long as they make it :)
