Early Review:

I've been using this serum twice a day, for three weeks and am I ever impressed with this product line. Prior to beginning the GS I ws using a sample of TR's Polar Serum, which contains Antarticatine. Aleta, the owner of True Radiance told me Golden Serum was the premier skin tightener of her line up so I purchased this instead of the Polar serum. I am absolutely amazed at tightening I am seeing in my skin. My primary spot of concern is smile lines, particularly on the right side and I have seen a significant change in the size and depth of that particular line that goes beyond any improvements I've seen with other products. I am pasting a link to a description of ingredients for this product below. My skin is healthy, glowing, though please note that I am testing a sample of TR Vitamin Serum as well.
Aleta recommends a moisturizer on top of the serum unless you are quite oily and I am using a pearl cream. I think that I am going to order the Polar Serum as well and mix the two together for additional hydration and benefits of the anarticatine. My next purchase I plan on sampling her GABA Freeze.

Hey ladies, here's the website for True Radiance in case you'd prefer that over Ebay. I think she has additional product sizes available on the company site.

I've been using the Golden for about a month now and I really like it. It has softened the appearance of my "elevens", which is fantastic. Other then botox, nothing has made them budge. I'm also using her eye cream which I've already stocked up on, so I'll never run out. Love it!

I love that eye cream. I bought it to see if it would help a broken cap on my nose and it hasn't but it's great for the eyes.
.
I started the GABA two days ago. GABA during the day and Golden in the evening. I still think I'll go half and half with the Golden and Polar for hydration.

A great line and I like supporting women entrepreneurs.

I just checked it out. Not much difference between her regular site and ebay site in terms of cost of product and shipping fees.
Is this used like a moisturizer?

In the evening I use it as a serum before I moisturize. In the morning I haven't needed a moisturizer.

Thanks for your help with this. It looks like a great product and I'm thinking of both TR eye cream and golden serum.
Do you use with C products or CP's?
Would this then go on afterward?

Aleta has a product that has C in it. The Vitamin Serum. I've been using that also. I don't think I've been using it long enough to review it though. I usually use the vitamin and then the Golden.

I haven't been using CPs lately, but I may start again. I imagine the copper would be first, but I'd like to hear what Blues had to say about that.

Hi Sister Sweets,
I'm also using the Vitamin Serum. The instructions from Aleta said to apply the Vitamin, absorb, then add the Golden. She recommended using the Vitamin morning and night. I'm considering going back and adding GHK and if I did I'd add the GHK to the evening and using the Vitamin only in the a.m. I'm more dry and so I do use a pearl cream as a moisturizer and at night I use an oil blend. Hope that helps. I hope they work as well for you as they have for me.

ETA: I used GHK cream, and even though it's a cream I'd use it first, then vitamin, then my TR serums.

They certainly are. And I'm compelled to buy the GABA too. This may be my favorite.

Sorry. I just saw this. Keep in mind that I've only used the GABA one week but I think this might work more quickly than the GS. I woke up one morning after using the GS at night and there were no lines between the nose and mouth. They came back but that was intriguing enough for me. LOL. I also feel the GABA is somewhat more moisturizing than the GS. On Aleta's recommendation, I'm using the GABA during the day now and the GS at night. I do want to point out that the GABA stings a little on application. It subsides and then when I apply my moisturizer, in my case, pearl cream the stinging returns. It must reactivate with moisture. I'll let you know what I decide after finishing this sample.

Does the GABA keep the 11's at bay longer? We'll surely be awaiting your results.

Sis, I think Yogi noticed 11 reduction more than I but that's not a big issue for me. Plus, Ive worked on mine for close to a year using the LE from L2K. I'm really having a hard time deciding which is why I'm going with one in the daytime and one in the evening. I'll be sure to revisit this thread after I finish my GABA sample. Please let us know how you do with the CP and this as well.

Bira, did you order the Golden? I hope you're happy with it. I've only raved about two or three products in the year I've been here and this line may be my top pick after L2K.

Not meaning to go so off-topic but since it was brought up I got a beautiful night glaze color from Kandis - she made it from a swatch I sent and it turned out spectacular. I like it better than the four other ones I bought Laughing and the sexy Mama which is nice too.

Just FYI. It hasn't been named yet but will be soon I understand and put on site.

Ohhhh. What a wonderful idea. I just now saw a post about the MAC Viva glam is that what you're referring to? There are a couple of colors from Julie H. I wouldn't mind having in L2K. And Yogi swears by the Chanel in Tijuana which is now discontinued. Kandis is going to love you Sis. LOLOL.

I'm updating as promised. I've decided against the GABA. I feel, and this may be totally irrational on my part but...it seemed to me that my skin became less toned from the GABA. I've had much better results with the Golden and Polar. I've been using the Golden at night and GABA during the day. When I wake up in the morning the area I've had concern about looks ok but by the end of the afternoon it seems less firm. I'd be interested to hear anyone else's results from using the GABA, good and bad.

I was interested in Gaba Freeze and was researching to see if anyone posted about it on EDS. Someone else posted a negative result from using it.
