I am now moving up from retinol to Diacneal which is quite stronger. I went to CVS but, they did not have. Do you know where I can purchase? And to those who have tried it, what were your results? |

Hi divalovesmusic,
Is this the avene product? I bought mine from CVS. I think that not all CVS carries it though so you may have to try a few ones. Usually the ones on main streets or the big ones are the ones to go for. I have been totally unimpressed with Diacneal - it smells nice but I didn;t see anything different in terms of texture, clarity or fine lines. To contrast, JM Biolcear did improve texture and clarity. But I think that I am more in the exception camp as I know quite a few people rave about it and have it imported from Europe. So, that must mean something.
HTH one way or the other,
Cat |

my sister got it for me in france. the first few nights it really made a difference, lightened old acne scars a bit, made my skin look fresher, but after those first few nights it plateau'd and then stopped working |

Diacneal isn't available at my Avene-carrying CVS either. I was thinking of ordering it from frenchcosmeticsforless.com
Not sure if I can post web sites.
It is $23 with a whopping 3% discount for Makeup Alley members. |

I've been using Diacneal for about a month now, every second night.
I really don't like the smell, though.
I haven't noticed any changes in my skin in the past month. I might try to use it every night instead of every other night and see what happens, otherwise, I don't think I'll reorder, and try the Ystheal. |

I used both the Ystheal and Eluage - didn't notice any difference but no irritation. I was thinking of stepping up to Diacneal |

So then, Diacneal is stronger than Ystheal? |

Yes, due to the HA fragments and (I think) a higher % of retinaldehyde (sp?). |
