Exuviance

My skin was acting up and my Pixi toner didn't help, so I decided I needed something a little bit more potent. I bought this and Night Renewal Hydragel and my skin looks so much better. I don't really have problem skin, but once in a while, it acts up. This toner helps keep my skin clear, which I love. I apply it with my fingers so as not to waste product. The bottle itself isn't too expensive, but you only get 100 ml, which is not a lot. It hasn't done anything bad to my sensitive skin, so for me, that's a big plus. However, I think that it would be too harsh to use all over the face, twice a day as it contains 8 percent AHA. I therefore use it only in the evenings (but not every day) and only where I need it.

Thin silky sunscreen with a dry matte finish. Its tinted with a slightly greyish beige shade that does NOT work for my very fair skin. It makes me look very old dull, and grey toned, way different from my neck.

The texture feels nice going on but it stops there. Claims its non-acnegenic, non-comedogenic but it gives me breakouts and irritates my skin slightly. Dries with visible cakey streaks, tiny flakes, and highlights any dry flakey patch. My skin is normal to oily and and I've tried it by itself or over moisturisers or serums or sprays but nothing works. Does not play well with others. I've even tried to pat a moisturising spray toner or makeup finishing spray to after ward to disguise the flakey bits or smooth out the cakes, but it won't shift. Pretty disappointed as it was a splurge for me.

I prefer First Aid Beauty Triple Protection Skin Tint in "Fair". Its non-cakey, and the tint is much more brightening for my skin tone. I also use Clarins SPF 50+ Body Sunblock on my face. Its non-tinted, has a light fresh scent, and has a lovely and moisturising texture. Hubby likes the Clarins too as he says it rubs in fast, doesn't ball up on stubble, and stops him burning when he's in the sun for hours.

This is probably the best product by Exuviance! I use it once a week and it is really helping my skin’s regeneration and freshness! I had to learn how to use it at first though - it is a very strong product and my sensitive skin can only benefit from it when used less than two minutes per week.

Update: This has caused some clogged pores for me. I am not happy.

Another vitamin C serum that seems to do nothing for me. I've used it for 3 weeks and have seen nothing happening on my face. Previously was using another C serum so have not stopped using C serums so I should be seeing some improvements to hyperpigmentation but nothing is lightening even with using an Obagi Brightening serum on top. This C serum was touted as Beautypedia as "best of " which is why I tried it.

These come in a capsule that are filled with C cream. I was expecting a serum like Elizabeth Arden's ampules but these are creamy so this product could have easily gone in a pump. The ampule is a pain because the top does not twist off. I have to get a scissors every night.

I can do my entire face, neck and have enough left to lightly do my chest but I have a small head. As other reviewer reported there was not enough in 1 capsule. Again a good reason for this product to come in a pump.

I would not repurchase. I am not seeing results so I think this is another do nothing C serum. I will next be buying a ZO Obagi C serum. He posts before and after pictures of patients after they have used his C serum. No one else has done this.

I LOVED the old formula, it was mild enough to not irritate my skin but efficient enough to keep impurities and oil at bay. I've used the old formula for years and it never let me down. However, the NEW formula contains tea tree oil and more of the comedogenic Cocamidopropyl Betaine than it used to (before it was at the end of the INCI). I never knew of this "update" until my skin started to break out and I got bumps on my forehead. I haven't used anything new lately and since Exuviance recently switched to a tube instead of the old pump bottle I came to think of maybe they changed more than the packaging. And lo and behold, they did.
I have sensitive skin, and I almost always react to coconut and coconut derivates, so I'm not at all surprised that I reacted to this new formula.
Too bas they had to ruin a perfectly good product. I'll never use it again.
