So I've tried a few samples of DDF products and some were hit or miss:
Dramatic Radiance TRC Cream
- I combined this with some other serums that I had and it just didn't mix because once I put this on, it would ball up! I would wait 5 minutes in between and it still balled up. I really wanted to like this because I read reviews that it did pretty well in brightening but my samples were too small to see a real brightening difference. Overall though, if it didn't ball up with my other serums I would have liked to buy this one. Maybe when I change my serums up a bit I can come back to this one. Some people have complained about this breaking them out and I'm not sure if this caused my break outs or if my break outs were hormonal (most likely the case).
Intensive Holsitic Lightener
- I really liked this one. It's a very watery serum, so easily spreadable,and it did a good job with brightening my face. I'm thinking about buying this on those in between days when I lay off the HQ. It's gonna be either this one or PSF's Phytonutriv (which is a lot more affordable) and I haven't decided yet since I've never tried PSF's Phytonutriv and there doesn't seem to be a lot of reviews on it.
Nourishing Eye Cream
- I thought that this eye cream was very moisturizing. Please note tho, I don't normally use eye cream, I don't bother with that area even though I do have some dark circles. It just feels very fresh when I put this on, but it's too early to tell if there will be any significant results. Again, I'm bad with the frequency of using eye cream, I always forget.
Overall, other than the TRF cream not mixing with the other things in my regimen, so far I'm liking the products that I've tried from them! |

| I have not tried the products you mentioned however I do love the sulfur mask. I find it to be non-irritating/non-drying and most masks do dry my skin out. Its great for all over or just spot treating blemishes. |

i like their sulfur mask and their organic sunscreen.
i also use the glycolic acid toner once in a while, which is pretty refreshing but also quite strong as it is 10% glycolic acid.
lastly, i've been using the ddf protective eye cream spf15 with coQ-10 for about a year and a half, it's a pretty good product but i will probably try something else before going back to it.

| I really like their 2% salicylic acid face wash- it worked really good to help clear my acne in conjunction with Jan Marini products. |

No, sorry, I haven't tried their sunblock. I was interested but didn't get around to it cuz I didn't like that it only went up to SPF 30. It's too bad EDS can't ship DDF products to Canada. If they could I'd definitely buy here. |

I am sure it is something similar to the situation where EDS can't ship Jan Marini products to the US.  |

Not sure what the restriction is...
I use spf 50 on a daily basis and still it's not good enough so I didn't think an spf 30 would be any better? I have mild sun sensitivity...last time I came back from a 7 day cruise with red dots all over despite my spf 50 sunscreen use + reappliation....should have reapplied x 3. |

Hi Kareberry, the SPF 50 is it chemical or physical block?
I used to use SPF 50+ before........the actual SPF quoted on the product was SPF 100...but it was a chemical one, bioderma range. The thing is even though i liked using this product it went on well etc. I began to doubt its effectiveness of this very high SPF........the thing is i was still getting a tan....using this which i shouldnt be.....i dont actually feel the need to reapply as i am indoors most of the day other than travelling in the morning.
The conclusion i came to is that chemical SS dont protect as well......also the whole theory on having to apply this bare skin before mositurizer became quite confusing to me.
so now m back to physical SS and trialing the DDF range at the moment. I figured because its physical the protection should be better even though it is only an SPF 30. and i keep reading again and again any SPF higher than this doesnt necessarily mean more protection, it is only a mere smaller fraction more protection, hardly anything  |

EDS sent me the DDF salicylic acid face wash before as a gift. I know it does say they don't ship to canada- but maybe you can call them and find out the dilly.
If not Beauty Mark carries this line as well- there are a couple of beauty mark stores in vancouver. |

| I've been very pleased with DDS Organic SPF30 sunscreen. Have repurchased several times. It is sort of thick to apply though. |

I tried their sun screen for face, for sensitive skin. I loved it!! My face always breaks out from practically all sun screens, and so far the DDF face sun cream has been the only one which both provided a good sun protection and did not give me any pimples or irritation! |

I use japanese sunscreens so there's at least 13% ZnO and Octinoxate. But you could be right about the chemical ss not being good enough protection. I did like the Obagi spf 35 but haven't been able to like any other cream ss because I'm so used to the texture of Japanese ss. I'll keep in mind to try the DDF organic one the next time it's available at Sephora. |

I like their Sulphur mask. Whenever my skin is congested or I'm starting to break out, I use this. I leave it on for at least 30 minutes though. It alleviates my skin whenever I start to get tiny bumps of clogged pores and whenever my skin is feeling a bit oily.
I also used their oil-free sunblock. Some people find that it balls up. Trick to using this is to not rub it in. Just smoosh a bit on your fingers and pat it on your face, don't rub or it'll ball. It's not sticky or oily at all. |
