I've mentioned in other posts that I was using (and loving) Prevage MD before my serums in the am. I never really could identify what it was that the stuff was doing for my skin, only that my skin looked generally better with it than without it.
A couple of weeks ago, I ran out of the stuff and mistakenly thought I had another on hand. While going through my stash, I found a generous sample I'd been given of Perfect Complexion's HA Soy Lift, which Julie advertises as a product that's rich in idebenone. Not wanting to drop idebenone from my regimen while waiting to replenish the Prevage MD, I decided to try it.
OMG WHERE HAS THIS STUFF BEEN ALL MY LIFE !!!! IT IS AMAZING!!!!
Here is what she says about the stuff:
With Perfect Complexion HA SOY LIFT I have restructured the compound to deliver the highest dose of Vitamin Q, or idebonone, or CoQ10, which actually, patent pending, becomes Co Q 12 in topical form. Used after your rapid resurfacing, the results are too unbelievable to sell. That is why this product is selling by word of mouth. If you found this, you got here by a message board or posting or a good friend sent you!
THE SECRET:
BIO-Q10 doesn’t stop at the first layer as most topically applied beauty enhancement products do... It has been specially formulated to penetrate deep into the layers of your skin through a unique, all-natural botanical delivery system just like my A Peel and Hyaluronic acid.,in fact ALL of my proteins have liposomal delivery.. Therefore; these botanical enzymes are able to fully and adequately repair the damage from the outside in, and from the inside out.
You will notice immediate lifting, firming and toning of fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin. You will see and feel the long term results when those healthy new cells start making their way to the surface!
Julie's products sometimes produce some controversy because she won't disclose the specific ingredients in each of her products. She has a very detailed list of all her ingredients posted on her site, and she indicates the most active ingredients in a product, but that's as far as she goes.
People who use her products swear by them. But, the base of her line are peel products. She then has a whole range of serums that she recommends post peel or exfoliation. But, happy as I am with my current skincare regimen, I've not really been inclined to try them.
This HA Soy Lift really is something though. I've been using it on my forehead, mainly concentrating on the faint \/ between my eyebrows, around my eyes, on my nasolabial lines and on my neck. The stuff is lovely to use - it comes in a pump bottle and is a thick white absolutely greaseless cream. The lifting effect around the eyes is just amazing. She recommends putting it on and opening your eyes wide for a couple of minutes. I have deepset eyes and am on a constant quest for eye firming products. I think my quest may be over! In the couple of weeks that I've been using it, it has erased what were admittedly not all that pronounced nasolabial lines and the aforementioned \/'s. It also leaves a very nice matte, velvety finish on the skin.
She recommends it for all skin types and I can see why. I can't imagine anyone who would not benefit from the stuff. After just a couple of weeks, I'm completely in love with it. And, as I understand it, the benefits are cumulative. However, if the results never got any better than this, I'd still be more than satisfied. She charges $45 for a one ounce bottle, which isn't bad. A little of it goes a very long way.
Here is her website:

Normally, I'm reluctant to even try samples of a product when I don't know what's in it. However, especially when dealing with a small formulator, you have to operate on trust, I think. She has a comprehensive list of the ingredients she uses in her products on her site. I looked at that list, and didn't find anything there that I objected to. I also went by the recommendations of others who I trust.
I don't know Julie, but in her defense, I do know that she's in the process of trying to patent some of her formulas. I also have repeatedly witnessed individuals generously sharing a formula, only to have someone else replicate the formula for sale. On some sites, you will see individuals who do share formulas or recipes with a notation that it is there sole intellectual property and is not to be reproduced without permission. I understand why people do that, but I can tell you that it has NO LEGAL STANDING. So, from that standpoint, I do understand why she is so protective of her formulas.
If someone wants to try her products, they can always look at the comprehensive list. If they see something there that is a problem for them, they can ask her if that particular ingredient is in the specific product that they're interested in. My understanding is that she WILL answer that kind of question.
Please understand that I'm not taking her side or advocating her position. I understand why someone would be reluctant to try a product without knowing the specifics of what is in it. But, at the same time, I understand where she is coming from as well. Ultimately, it really is a very individual decision. |

Fawnie,
My older sister does alot of peels because she has alot of sun damage that she's trying to deal with. Her derm has encouraged her to use the BQ post peel. It helps with the healing and I have to say, her skin has been looking pretty good!
Keep us posted.  |

just wanted to update:
my mom started using the soy lift as a regular moisturizer and she says she can really feel a difference and is raving
i steal bits and apply it to potential problem areas just because i love the smell of the cream. i wonder how julie gets it to smell that way if she's using natural products? anyhow, the soy lift is a great deal considering the size is doubled when you place an order.

Glad that you both like the product. Can't resist to share that the soylift works its best in "compress" method { see Julie's enclosed leaflet}. I follow her method and it works wonder on my frown lines.  |
