Papaya Cleanser: Really nice at getting my mu off and skin felt clean but not stripped. Scent is nice and not overpowering.
Acne Mud Mask: Just in time!! I had a huge zit starting on my cheek...I put this on for about an hour and the blemish is healing faster than normal. Not totally gone and is still red but it is going down fast. I was disappointed in the amount. I know it is only $10 but still....there is very little in the container and mine had leaked inside the bag so it is almost totally dry.
R&R toner: Scent is nice and i like that it is in a spray bottle. No obvious results but will keep using. This was also leaking when i got it...seem to have lost a bit in transit.
ALA Complex: This felt like a dream going on. just a small amount covered my whole face and neck. I am wearing it today under my mu and it feels a bit greasy. I am a concerned that it will be too "oily" for summer but I will continue to use it and see.
Overall very happy with my order (even though it took longer than normal to get here) but was pretty unhappy that the mask and toner had leaked in transit. Will continue to use and do proper reviews after a month or so. |

Did you order your PSF from EDS or through the PSF website? It's disappointing that it leaked, that shouldn't have happened...
I'm eager to hear the long term results of the acne mud mask, that is-if you have enough to do a long term. I was quite interested in purchasing that next time. Does it have much of an odor? |

I ordered from EDS. Normally my orders get here really fast but this time it took a long time and then the leaks really put me over the edge.
The mask has an almost minty smell...hard to describe but not bad. I think there is enough for a few full face masks and some spot treatments so I'll report back. |

A few PSF products I know and love...
Papaya Enzyme Cleanser - leaves nothing behind but clean, fresh skin without overstripping. The bottle lasts ridiculously long, nearly 6 months! 1 little pump is all you need.
Acne Mud Mask - I do love this, fabulous spot treatment. Although I used so much of this I eventually made my own DIY acne mud mask. My version isn't as nice as PSF's version but it does the trick.
Cranberry eye gel. After a month of use, I can see visible lifting. Great for morning use!
Hydrating eye serum. This is more hydrating and I use it at night. Tried it during the day but it made my eyeshadow crease, even with a coat of Urban Decay Primer potion underneath.
Pumpkin Enzyme Mask - the. best. exfoliating. mask. ever! I've repurchased this quite a few times.
5% BHA serum. Just started using this a month ago. It's lovely and really keeps pores clean, especially around the nose area.
Microfiber cloths. I currently have 4 of these, planning to stock up on enough so I can use a fresh one every single time I need it, twice a day. They're kind of small but adequate for facial use and the texture is simply superb.
SPF 50 sunscreen. I liked this and used the entire bottle but now that I finally found a completely physical sunscreen that works for me, I won't be reordering this.
Lovely, lovely line. I brag about these products all the time  |

I've used a couple jars of PSF acne mud mask and ever since they've made it more moist, it seems to have leaked through the jar opening. I have emailed PSF directly describing the contents of the mask to them (I think I said something like a blob of clay floating on some water  ). They emailed back saying that there may be something wrong with it and offered to send me another jar free. But when that came, the contents was kinda the same and it did leak again.
Even though its a tiny jar, a little does go a loooong way and a jar could probably last more than 2 months- if you use it to spot treat and occassionally all over the face.
I'm not using the mask anymore, as I think over time, it loses its effectiveness. |

I love, love love the acne mud mask. The jar is quite small but it does last a while, I just use it on my breakouts when one occurs, not as a full face mask. My mud mask was fine, never leaked, it was actually quite dry. Maybe it was a different fomulation they used. I would contact EDS about the leakage, maybe there is something they can do for you. I have the R&R toner too, really nice for everyday use. Nice and gentle. I have the gentle cleansing castile as well as the papaya cleansing gel and I really like both. I have the HA serum as opposed to the ALA complex which I really like. I'm thinking the reason why your face feels oily with the ALA complex is according to the PSF website it's not recommended for oily or acne prone skin, which is why I stayed away from it. |

I received the Cranberry eye gel from EDS. The bottle looks a bit cheap! 
But I have not yet tried it. Hope it will work for me! |

I cant say enough about the microfibre cloths, really great. Wish they were a bit bigger though. I'm in love with the pumpkin enzyme peel, it lasts forever. I've been using the cranberry eye gel for a bout a week but haven't noticed much of a difference, maybe I need to use it longer to see results.
I absolutely love PSF, I wish I would have found them years ago. |

chorally, I agree the packaging for the eye treatments isn't the best. I had some difficulty with the pump but they have instructions on their website about how to prime it. I also sent them an email to give them feedback about the eye treatment dispenser. I still think Murad's packaging for treatments like this that pump out just the right about of product is a superb design. The stuff inside the package is heaven! |

Jenny, I have seen a slight lifting effect [I'm 43] after a few weeks. Crows feet are slightly shallower, although I don't expect anything will really cause these to go away so I'll settle for shallow! The lines I mean, not my mind 
PSF line of skincare is one of the best discoveries I made since I discovered EDS. They don't waste their money on advertising or foofoo packaging. It all goes into the product and further R&D. They actually CARE what you think and that's the kind of place where I wanna spend my hardearned $$. |

I bought 2 micro cloths as well and do really love them. Yeah....i saw that ALA being not for oily acne prone skin after I had ordered it. I think it will be nice to use after my microderms etc but its not an everyday use for me.
I am planning on ordering the pumpkin enzyme mask after I use up my Juice green apple peel (my current love).
Overall I'm liking the line a lot...very happy I tried it! |

I couldn't agree more. I started having problem skin about a year ago, (hormonal...I'm 37). I started going to an esthetician who recommended numerous products to me that were OUTRAGEOUSLY priced and I really didn't see that much difference. Since I've discovered EDS and PSF my skin is 100 percent better. I love the fact that their products are so reasonably priced.  |

I've never tried the Juice Beauty green apple peel, but from looking at the forum people who have tried both prefer the PSF Pumpkin over the Juice Beauty. I don't know what strength your Juice Beauty is, but I have heard the PSF is quite a bit stronger, so if you have overly sensitive skin, you might want to just get a sample of it first. |

| I have the regular strength version of juice green apple peel and my skin is fine. I have very durable skin. I have heard that the pumpkin peel is better and that is what I plan on buying after the juice mask is gone. |

We are sorry that your parcel took longer than usual to arrive. Typical delivery time from Canada to the U.S. is 6-8 business days. This excludes weekends and holidays. At times, U.S. Customs can delay processing of parcel at their point of entery. Neither the postal services nor EDS can predict nor influence U.S. Customs' efficiency.
The leakage of your toner was likely the result of cabin pressure in the plane during it's air mail shipping. Sometimes, cosmetics leak during air travel (which is why many travellers pack their toiletries in Ziploc bags). |

| I am aware of the hazards of shipping and customs and realize that it is just sometimes what happens when I order online. I was just sharing the experience I had with this order. I will always order for this site because normally I get my packages in fine condition and quickly....was just sharing my "first impression"...did not mean to bash anyone! I think the leaking is more due to the jar/bottle they come in because even when I shake the toner it leaks and the acne mask seems to have a leakage problem based on many of the posts I've read. |

Did you guys get the Microfiber cloths from PSF??
I get mine in the car section at Wal-Mart. They are 6X6 (I think??) and you can get a package of 12 for $5. Perfect size for washing my face, I have enough to use a new one every time and with the money that I save, I can buy more stuff! |

I have tried the microfiber cloths from Walmart and they really are good....but even BETTER (for me anyway  ) was a pack of baby washcloths (I think I've purchased both Gerber and Carter's) and let me tell you, these sweet little cloths are terrific as gentle exfoliators - and they're the perfect size. You can use one side to gently exfoliate, then the smooth side for gently buffing over your face after cleansing - feel your skin afterwards! Just like a baby's bum! I'm addicted to them.
