I had write because I've been using "proper" skincare products for about 3 - 4 months now and I am seeing results.
My concerns were fine lines under my eyes and some lines above my lips.
I was shopping a few weeks ago in Esprit and while I was trying on clothes I looked in the changing room mirror. I was amazed as my lines under my eyes are definately smoothed. Normally shop mirrors make me want to run the other way as they accentuate every "fault".
I have been using Avene Eulage gel concentrate every second night under my eyes and above my lips followed by PSF Stimucoll C eye cream. I use this cream every night.
It is the combination of these 2 products that have greatly improved my under eye area. The lines are still there but they are so much smoother.  They have got me quick results as I saw improvement within a coupls of weeks from the Stimucoll C.
I have also been using PSF Vitamin C serum every day followed by Bioderma SS (AKN).
In the evenings I use lactic acid 10% about twice a week.
My moisturiser is PSF Berry Beneficial which is plenty moisturising enugh for my prone to dryness skin.
I have also added PSF ALN to use after the lactic acid.
I am also loving Carrie's Lip treatment at night - my lips are very soft and supple. |

| Emma that is fabulous! Congrats! I am also very happy to read this, because......I started using the Avene Eluage Gel concentrate about a week ago, followed by PSF Stimucoll and the Berry Beneficial stuff, not to mention some other items, CareKate's overnight lip treatment being one of them. I hope this combo works as well for me as it has for you! So far, I am liking it very much. |

That's great Emma eyes are such a pain.
I think my eye area has seriously improved over the past few months of Ystheal use. I must have added the Stimucoll around 2 weeks ago too and it's given a quick boost. |

 Maybe I'm just tired tonight, but are you talking about the eye gel or the regular concentrate gel? I have a sample of the concentrate I keep forgetting to try. Thanks |

Congratulations Emma!!! Isn't it great to finally find products that live up to your expectations???
I can't say enough good things about Avene, particularly their retinaldehyde products -- they've been a breakthrough for me too. They're the first effective retinoids I've been able to tolerate on an ongoing basis -- and I've tried a lot. This is a necessity in my regimen as well.
And PSF is now becoming essential -- another breakthrough! The Pumpkin Enzyme Peel was always a favorite but the new DMAE Gel and Berry Beneficial Antioxidant Serum have really made my skin look great. I'm going to take the plunge for Stimucoll with my next PSF order. The Papaya cleanser and DMAE toner are also tempting me! After reading so much good feeback about PSF since I joined the forum, I can't believe it took me this long to appreciate its merits 
And I've been loving Bioderma SS as well -- so I can't argue with your choices Emma!!! These products have been great discoveries for me too!!! |

Congratulations Emma!
I am very happy for you, since the under eye area is one of my biggest concerns as well.
Thanks for sharing. |

Great new, Emma!
I bought some of the Avene Ystheal for Eyes yesterday after reading so many raves on here. Will be giving that a go, then maybe try moving on to the Eluage later. |

| I've thought of getting the Berry Beneficial I like PSF. Can you comment on how that is working for you. |

Hi Sharky,
I haven't noticed any specific changes as I am fortunate to have good skin to start with.
I have been impressed with the way it is moisturising enough for my skin by itself and I like how it feels on.
It is slightly sticky so those who don't like that consistency should get a sample first. |

| Yay good for you Emma! That reminds me that I really need to develop a proper skincare routine for myself too! I have so many products lying around that are either half opened or half used. I remember when I was using the Dr H range regularly & properly my skin was looking great & I even got compliments too! ...but I guess everything is a bit hectic at this time of the year! |

Sometimes the lighting in different stores have different effect on our skin. I find that Esprit makes me skin appear nicer haha I do have some fine lines under my eyes too cuz I apply concealer and powder everyday due to my dark circles  |

That's great Emma as I was going to PM you about the Eluage. I have been so busy finishing up on work before going on holidays that I didn't see your post before.
I was going to ask you if you used the Eluage concentrated gel (15 ml) as I just saw it yesterday at a shop in Hong Kong and was wondering if I should buy it. I have used PFS's 0.5 retinol only twice but this is not specifically for the eyes. Since you are having such great result, this is no brainer - I am off to get the Eluage! It's selling in Hong Kong for HK$300 which is just about A$50. Does this sound like the right price? |

That sounds like an ok price as Tubotica is cheaper but you pay a lot for postage.
I hope you're having fun. |
