Now that Candy has both of these serums on her website for sale, I'm not sure which one(s) to try. I'm looking for something that will help to firm and tighten sagging skin particularly round the jawline (while I save up for the NuFace).

At present I am using Candessence DMAE 6%. I am applying it before any other product. Over the past few years I have used several DMAE serums on a regular basis. Candy's 6% packs quite a bunch. It makes a visible difference as far as firming. I have not tried her Matrixyl 3000. From what I hear when used over the DMAE the results are incredible. When I place my next order I will purchase the sample size to see how it likes my skin.

WOOW, Candy has updated more products in her website. I should buy from her earlier but too I was too busy with my study. Now I should start. I have not tried any of her products. But it seems the ingredients not bad. Hope they will not make me disappointed. I am already disappointed at IS Clinicals. So I conclude the very expensive products are not always fit for me. Sad Then I can save money. Very Happy

liangzhiz - I can also definitely recommend Candy's DMAE 6%. It is seriously good at firming, and the texture is so light, sinking in immediately.

Haven't tried her Matrixyl yet, but that's on my "to buy" list for next time.

Hi, fifi,

My vote(s): DMAE for firming and toning AND the Matrixyl for the peptides needed to nourish.

Wow! I just had a look at her site -- a great selection of products!

Has anyone tried her Vitamin C, E & Ferulic Acid or the Ultra Triple C Serum?

Def need both!!! both are also long term, and both tighten!!! Dmae, we lose drasticly as we age, and matrixyl 3000 has the peptides that help regrow collagen (spelling sry). So both help firm and both are long range products with pretty quick firming benefits!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The difference between plain matrixyl and matrixyl 3000 are the firming properties of the 3000, the reg form just helps rebuild, while 3000 firms tightens and rebuilds. While alot talk of the firming of dmae, they forget it also helps us retain moisture in our skins, so the long term benefits of replacing what were losing is huge.

I do seem to need both then, don't I Wink ?

Then of course I need Candy to whip up an AHA / BHA / kojic serum for Katee to try out, I could save a fortune on IS Clinical!

If they both work for you, get both. Some skins just don't respond to DMAE or Matrixyl, some do. Can you try samples first?

And who do I have to thank for causing me to learn about yet another intriguing skincare line?

All skins respond to them, but if your young you won't really notice, dmae is naturally FOUND IN UR BODY, and as you age it gets depleted rapidly. Matrixyl takes time...its very long term, matrixyl 3000 is faster in that it does a tightening that the reg matrixyl doesn't. Both build colegen but that takes months to notice!!! And you can get samples from Candy's stuff.
