Hi all,
Just want to know the quality of the products sold in this site. Their HA Serum are really cheap and I want to try their Mandelic Acid too. Any Advice?

Terrific site with great customer service. Markey at GOW is extremely knowledgeable, helpful and kind!!!

She has some great products over there!!! You can email her with any questions too.

What Maria said. (LOL)

I've had great experiences with Markey. I use a few of her products and will, over time, try more.

I've tried several products from Markey and have found them to be excellent values. The really superlative thing about Markey, though, is her customer service. I've been struggling with finding products that work with my skin, and Markey's gone out of her way to help me--even to the extent of making specially formulated products for me to test and try. Markey's the best!

I agree with everyone. GOWs HA serums are really nice, especially the cucumber one (i found myself sniffing it every time I used it). The CS is one of the best... Wink

OK, I think I'll put in an order at GOW for some hyaluronic.

Anything else I should really try from there?!

One more rave for GOW. I've purchased both finished product and components to formulate my own concoctions. The prices are incredible and the quality of the product is top-notch. Like a previous poster, I've had Markey custom formulate something for me, and send me a sample, just to see if it was going to work or not. I was so surprised, and grateful, for that level of customer service. Her shipping is also very quick.

Shock How could I have missed this thread?!

You will be thrilled with any purchase you make with GOW/Markey. She is a top-notch lady & runs a great show!!

She's been working on increasing her 'finished products' catagory. You're bound to find alot of stuff that you'd like to try.

Ever have one of those days where the car breaks down, your well goes dry and yada yada?? I bet so!! LOL

Thanks for sending this post to me Candy. It really made me smile and puts life in perspective. Small things get us
down and then we see whats really important in life and that would be our human counter parts.

Thanks for bringing me back to 'reality'.

You are all amazing customers and friends. That is why we find it easy to do our very best to serve you!

Many warm hugs,
Markey Smile

Great service, great products, and if you have any ? at all, just e-mail Markey who has always gotten back to me within an incredibly short period of time. (Just got my last order from them yesterday: 2%HA/roobios red tea serum, Phytolift, SOD antioxidant, and Pearl Powder, a 2nd Christmas!)

I like their products and think most of them are a good value. Markey is great to work with, too.

My favorites include the BHA/AHA cleanser (not sure the exact name), and the ALA serum--this last one is not cheap, but it's so nice!

What to order, you ask?

Check out all her carrier oils and hydrosols. Go buffet-style. It is great fun to see and test and smell everything. You can get small quantities for reasonable prices.

The cucumber toner is verrrry popular. For good reason. The Mandelic acid serum is, too.

And, yes, Markey is the most popular product of the entire inventory! Laughing

Ditto what everyone else has said. GOW has great products at great prices. When it comes to customer service Markey goes above and beyond and she's a hoot too. They have a wonderful forum as well all the ladies are friendly and knowledgeable and will answer any and all questions. Their is a link to it on her website.

HTH,
Michelle

Markey is awesome! Great customer service, and I LOVE her "Viper Venom" botox-like product...does wonders to make my "11" disappear!

Markey at GOW is a great lady! Not to take you away from EDS, but there is a Delphi forum where people discuss her stuff and it's very helpful:

Hi Mary,

I've tried the Viper Venom as well and I liked it. Have you tried similar products from other vendors? If so, is Viper Venom the most potent from your experience?

Hi PocoLoco!

I've tried PSF Browtox, Relax-A-Line and Relax-Plus w/ Vialox...all of which were good products. However, for whatever reason, the Viper Venom works better for me and my "ll" (or rather my "1" near the left brow... Laughing )Sounds like it works well for you, too! And I love how long the bottle lasts...a little goes a long way with this product!

Mary,

Do you use the 1% or the stronger one? I have a sample of the 1% and it doesn't help me. I was wondering if the stronger one would.
