Has anyone here used this in the past? I was interested in this ages ago and managed to put it out of my mind. Now EDS has started stocking the line and the lemming has returned....  Not that I need yet another moisturiser, but you know how it is....
What else is good from this line? I remember I was never tempted by the vit C serum as it didn't really seem stable, but I don't know much about the other products. |

I used the Fresh Start eye cream about a year ago, and although it was moisturizing enough, it did not do what it claimed (minimize fine lines, wrinkles etc.) so did not repurchase. I didn't try any else, and moved on to a new line.  |

| I too have been intrigued by this for a long time...but never tried it. I have tried a clay mask and it was superb...the name escapes me at the moment. I have heard good things about Aloe Vera gel. I also have a generous sample of Replenish Me cream which smells like orange creamsicle. I havnt gotten aroud to try it as it seems a bit too rich for my problem skin.....smell of most of the products makes you want to eat them! |

| What initially killed my interest in this was that I was discouraged overall because of their packaging of the vit C serum. When I saw that I kind of decided that perhaps the whole line just wasn't worth it (not a fair judgement I know) but hearing all the raves about the transformation cream back then is still with me. I actually came this " " close to buying it a couple of years back but I stopped myself. Perhaps a sample first to satisfy my curiosity.... |

Hi Mabsy,
Pardon my ignorance, but what's the problem with their vitamin c packaging? I just bought the little wonders set since I was interested in the sheer transformation creme and figured for $20 more, why not try the night gel and serum. Since you last posted have you tried the creme? Is it working for you? |

Because the Vc serum comes in a transparent bottle rather than in a dark one. |

I bought the Three Little Wonders set (Sheer Transformation cream, Truth Serum, Invigorating Night Cream - $70 at Sephora) - and, even though the Vitamin C serum comes in a clear bottle, it sure does smell yummy. (Like orange candy... ) Of course, that's not really why I bought it - and, it's only because it was part of the set. When it's gone, I'm going to look for a C serum in a dark bottle... (I didn't know better at the time...  )
As for the Sheer Transformation cream - frankly, I think it's kind of weird. It's oil free - and has a very strange texture. (And, it looks kind of like curdled milk in the jar. Scoop some out - and a few hours later, it's all settled evenly again, looking like you never scooped any out. Very odd.) It feels almost like silicone when you rub it on - and it leaves a very strange texture on the fingers afterwards. Because it's oil free, it's not very moisturizing (which, for an old biddy like me, is kind of important). And, it did absolutely nothing for my hyperpigmentation. So, IMHO, why bother?
Other than the cute packaging, I can't say much good about this product. I'm sure others with disagree - but this is just my experience/opinion... |

this is an excellent product, though i often balk at the price. : ) i love that it's not greasy on my combo olive skin, it smooth fine lines (i'm 3 and it evens out skin tone (i scar easily, have freckles and occasional dark patches). it's really light and smells great, without freaky chemicals. |
