Treatments -Avon - ANEW CLINICAL Resurfacing Expert Smoothing Fluid
sballew 12/6/2012 1:45:00 PM
I am almost 48 with combination skin. I used this along with AVON Anew Clinical PRO Line Eraser Treatment - A-F-33 since mid October. I can safely say the result is fantastic. My skin was looking dull even though I have a 30% salicylic acid peel every 2 months. The lines continue to pile on over the past year, it was depressing. After 45 days into this new AVON regime, my skin has 90% less lines and look absolutely radiant. I was using a hydroquinone cream from Exuviance since early September, but it has little improvement. But with these 2 AVON products added, the dark spot is virtually GONE. This dark spot has been with me for a decade, caused by a huge zit. I cannot believe it is gone now. I am not sure which AVON product that helps with the dark spot, but I guess is this one because this is like microdermabrasion. NOTE: I do use Clarisonic OPAL to massage in all my skin product in. I do this twice daily right after cleaning my face. I also use the Clarisonic Plus for cleansing.

Treatments -AMBI - Fade Cream
sballew 7/4/2011 10:26:00 AM
It worked in 1 week! I used 1 bottle of clarins bright plus hp and 2 bottles of meladerm. Do chemical peels combined with 4% hydroquinone prescribed by my doctor. All has helped in extreme slowness until I bought AMBI fade cream. I found a $3 coupon and I paid $1.50 for it at target. I made a mistake by only putting (piling on) on my dark spot. I did that based on a review I read here. The alpha hydroxy burnt the hell out of me, woke up with painful red spots on my face. It gave me a real bad impression of this cream! I was upset and did not use AMBI for 1 week. Relentless, once the pain and some redness has subsided, I used the fade cream last Sunday night like a face cream, spreading it evenly all over my face after cleansing. Then my moisturiser, and cortaid for the pain/redness and then neosporin. On Monday morning my entire face looked good. Same goes for Monday and Tuseday. No burnt and no break outs. The dark spot and the redness (redness caused by spot piling of thiis cream just the week before) is looking promising and I knew I could work with it. On Wednesday through Sunday night, for 5 nights, I spread this cream all over my face, then my moisturiser, cortaid then neosporin. With the oiliness of neoporin I vigorously massaage the dark spots / red spots. By Saturday the redness is completely gone and by this morning even the dark spots which I have been battling for 5 years are almost gone!

Toners -Unlisted Brand - Love Renaissance NOE Rainbow Milk
sballew 12/3/2009 10:32:00 PM
I recently stumbled upon a miracle skin care line while visiting Honolulu HI. The company is called Love Renaissance. It has 4 lines, all anti-aging. I bought the NOE Rainbow Milk because it's a moisturizing toner that is absolutely perfect for my aging combination skin. It's $76 which is worth every penny of my hard earned money. I used the SKII Facial Treatment Essence that Cate Blanchatt is the face of, I honestly I was throwing good money away. Now that I have found Love Renaissance, it makes all the skin care I ever used seems so obsolete. Along with the Verdi line I am currently using (Verdi is the most expensive line, NOE is is less expensive, and 2 other cheaper lines), I am see immediate radical improvements. I am a chronic pimple sufferer due to hormonal surges, I see instant clearing of my old acne scars and age spot. And this is just an anti-aging line, it has not claims for scar treatment and age-spot remedy. I can't wait for them to release an age-spot specific line, it will blow every else out of the water. It only has a Japanese website and a store in Honolulu HI. I had to call to purchase the Jeratina yesterday. But I am still happy as a clam.

Treatments -Unlisted Brand - Love Renaissance Verdi - dolce
sballew 12/3/2009 10:22:00 PM
I recently stumbled upon a miracle skin care line while visiting Honolulu HI. The company is called Love Renaissance. It has 4 lines, all anti-aging. I bought the Verdi dolce, $205 simply because of its high content of Royal Jelly and Honey. My left eye has a deep set line (which only I notice). I have tried everything (including Murad Durian Cell eye gel which made the line totally disappear but for just a few hours). This Verdi dolce reduced my line significantly and stay permanently reduced for many days. I am quite confident if I keep up with a every-other-day ritual and can keep my line at bay, not to mention what other youthful achievements I can accomplish! I am totally stunned by it's immediate effectiveness. I am used to having to use the entire bottle to see slight effectiveness, this single use and see effectiveness is just a rare find! It only has a Japanese website and a store in Honolulu HI. I had to call to purchase the Jeratina yesterday. But I am still happy as a clam.

Cleansers -Unlisted Brand - Love Renaissance Verdi - spuma
sballew 12/3/2009 10:15:00 PM
I recently stumbled upon a miracle skin care line while visiting Honolulu HI. The company is called Love Renaissance. It has 4 lines, all anti-aging. The sales person used the Verdi (most expensive) line on my left hand during a demonstration. She used the gel detergente, followed by the foam cleanser called spuma $85. My left hand is soft and whole lot younger looking than my right hand. I used the product for about 10 days now, my skin is simply beautiful. I am a chronic pimple sufferer due to hormonal in-balance. My old acne scar and age spot is fading slowly but much quicker than any whitening/brightening/age spot remedy I have ever used. And this stuff does not even have "tone even" or "age spot remedy" on its label. I am totally impressed. It only has a Japanese website and a store in Honolulu HI. I had to call to purchase the Jeratina yesterday. But I am still happy as a clam.

Treatments -SKII - Whitening Source
sballew 12/3/2009 10:02:00 PM
I like the dropper delivery method. I bought the small bottle and upon using the entire bottle, I think my skin has even out a little. It's just not worth it's cost. I recently stumbled on a miracle skin line called Love Renaissance Verdi. It gives me instant results unlike anything I have ever tried. When I finish using my $500+ line (yes, it is more expensive than SKII, but it's worth every penny of my hard earned money), I may choose to not come back to SKII, not because it is not superior, but simply because I have found a much more superior product!

Moisturizers -SKII - whitening source brightener
sballew 12/3/2009 9:59:00 PM
I used the whole big jar, it does give me smooth soft skin after using the entire jar. And I do think my skin tone has even out along with its partner serum in a silver bottle with a dropper. I thought I will buy it again, but I changed my mind because I recently stumbled on a miracle skin line called Love Renaissance Verdi. It gives me instant results unlike anything I have ever tried. When I finish using my new $600+ line (yes, it is more expensive than SKII, but it's worth every penny of my hard earned money), I may choose not to come back to SKII, not because it is not superior, but simply because I have found a much more superior product now!

Cleansers -SKII - Facial treatment cleansing gel
sballew 12/3/2009 9:52:00 PM
I don't see any difference in this compared to my cheap Pond's Cold cream. I used the entire jar of this cleansing gel, and I honestly am quite disgusted by its performance. I recently stumbled upon a similar product called Love Renaissance Verdi. It also has a cleansing gel, it has squalane (shark liver); ONE single use and my complexion is soft and lighter in tone. I was totally taken back by it's immediate effectiveness. Even though is is much more expensive that the SKII cleansing gel, I am putting my stock there from now on! You should see my face now, it's near to perfection. And I am a chronic pimple sufferer!

I am almost at the end of a big bottle. I don't think it is doing anything for me. Shame on Cate Blanchatt. What a waste of my hard earn money. I am totally disgusted by this product. And it stinks like crazy!

sballew 12/3/2009 9:38:00 PM
I really did not see much improvement in my age spot and overall skin tone. But I must say it does leave my skin quite soft. It's much too expensive for me to give it another round. And I almost did because Cate Blanchate was adversing the "Essence". I have finished using a total of $500 of SKII, and I stumbled on an extremely effective skin care line called Love Renaissance, also about $500 when I was done at the cashier, but it is so worth it!

Scrubs -St. Ives - Apricot Scrub Blemish and Blackhead Control
sballew 12/3/2009 9:33:00 PM
This is the best blemish and blackhead control ever. I have used it more than 10 years and I have tried to go without it because my dermatologist simply advised against such harsh scrubbing. I have tried other scrubs, they simply can't measure up. It leaves my skin smooth and really help especially right before a pimple extraction. But it is quite drying, so I moisturize while my face is barely dry to lock in the moisture. These tiny steps allows me to continue using the harsh scrubbing. I simply can't be happy until I am scrubbed clean! As for blackheads, I can't really say it does a good job. I have to manually extract blackheads once a week....but the scrubbing prior to the extraction helps the removal.

Cleansers -Noxzema - Triple Clean Anti-Bacterial Cleanser
sballew 12/3/2009 9:26:00 PM
No stuff, really cleans and definitely helps keep my pimples at bay. But at my age, I realized I must venture out to use something that has an anti-aging cleanser. It's makes me mad that anti-aging cleanser does nothing for my pimples. So I finally gave in and get back on the pills, it clears my skin up instantly (my pimples are hormonal at my age). Now that I have no more pimple problems, I have settled on a wonder miracle anti-aging skin care line called Love Renaissance Verdi. But for those young chicks out there who has pimples problem, I still think it is a cheap effective solution.
