This is an amazing line! I LOVE phyto + calms my red sensitive skin in seconds, I love that it's not thick or heavy, super light and goes right into your skin! Daily moisture Is unlike any cream i tried. I don't normally like creams even if they are oil free cause my skin breaks out so easy. This is different. I don't even know I have it on.. Super Super Light! Simply clean Gives u a nice clean feel no stripped! the Sunblock for sensitive skin Is a must have if you have fair skin and like that porcelain look Gives the skin a super light touch of white but not like ur wearing WHITE Clown make up. just evens out your skin tone.. I got a sample of the eye balm. very nice nothing to write about.. very light. not heavy. I do want to try the B5 gel i've heard great things about that! C+aha is also great. I use it sometimes..

I am a big fan of the SkinCeuticals line Dancing

and use the C+AHA, B5 Gel, Simply Clean Cleanser and Equalizing Toner. I have not used the Retinol 0.5 in a few weeks, because when I would put it on at night (every other night that is), I would wake up in the morning with a few white-capped pimples. So, I continued with the rest of the SkinCeuticals system and my skin has been doing well. I may start incorporating the Retinol once again and see how it goes. I hear so many good things about Retinol (especially as it relates to wrinkles).

I haven't tried the SkinCeuticals Eye Balm yet, but I received a sample tube from EDS with my order last week. Thanks EDS!

Hi, I'm new to the forum and I love reading about everyone's experiences. My experience with Skinceuticals has been really amazing. I love this stuff. I have been using it for a while now and my skin feels so smooth!

hi

just an update on how things are going since I started using skinceuticals. The simply clean cream is great and has the same type of smell as the renew overnight moisturizer. I love the C AHA and the B5 gel - it makes my skin feel so fresh. I feel my skin is a lot better but my husband thinks I have more spots than I usually do. I have not tried the skinceuticals toner and am thinking about using the photo correct gel. Anyone had any results from the photo correct gel and do you need to use moisturizer after it - should I use this along with the C AHA and B5 gel.

Thanks Rosyb

Hello, so does anyone use Skinceuticals product to treat age spots? I am looking for some good product for age spots. I did some research and found Cellex-C has a FADE AWAY GEL specifically FOR SUN & AGE SPOTS. Do you think Skinceuticals C serum or the Phyto+ would help in this regard? Thank you!

hi

I have not tried the photo + yet by skinceuticals but I have read a lot of good reports that say yes it does help with age spots. I have recently started using the skin ceutical range after being a big decelor fan for ages. good luck and let us know how you get on

Hi Rosyb,

I have been using SC products for a year and really like their C products. They make my skin clear. My main problem now is the hyperpigmentation. I have been using phyto + for a year too, but my hyperpigmentation is still very noticable. I talked to SC's customer service for a few times and they said that phyto + contains all natural ingredients and it may take much longer than hydroquinone to see good results. You never know; it may work quicker for you than others. Please keep us posted if you find any non-hydroquinone products that work well for hyperpigmentation.

As I am in humid country, this range do not suit me. I bought the Phyto+, B5 Gel, Vit C+E, Daily moisture and sunblock. All except B5 and sunblock will give the skin a sticky feeling which is not suitable for me too. So I use this range during night time as night time, I will be in air-con room. Imagine your skin sticking onto your pillow case. I hate the smell of their sunblock, it reminded me of swimming pool. Confused

By the way, I don't see changes for my slight pigmentation. So after using the range, I've stopped

Hi shuzhen,
I am wondering if you had an aesthetician help you choose your SkinCeuticals products.

I find that they can accomodate a wide variety of moisture needs. Did you try the simply clean and the equalizing toner?

If you are in a humid environment, I would think you could use the CE Ferulic, then just sunscreen. OR B5 under the sunscreen. Both of those are somewhat hydrating. I can't imagine anyone recommending that you pile on all those moisturizing products at once. I have super dry areas and I never put on lotion under my sunscreen. I use: cleansing cream, revitalizing toner, CE Ferulic, phyto corrective and sunscreen.

At night you could do the phyto with daily moisture if you needed it. At night I cleanse, tone, phyto corrective, and renew overnight. Sometimes I layer the intense line under the renew for a little more exfoliation. My skin has never been so soft.

Usually with these products, when someone feels they are too sticky, they are using too much product. The CE should be about 3 drops to the whole face, with another 2 for neck and chest.

Sorry to write a novel here, let me know how it's going

I agree with HeidiJo. I don't use moisturiser under my sunscreen, which is already very oily, plus I am using C+E and Phyto+ in the morning. I don't even use B5 in the morning, only at night.

Also, with SkinCeuticals, I find that giving each product time to absorb before layering the next helps with the stickiness.

Hi

Just to fill in everyone with how my skin is getting on since starting with skinceuticals. First of all my skin really does feel soft, and has a bit of a glow going on. I still get the odd spot but they don't look as bad as they used too. I have been told to drink lots and lots of water when using skinceuticals as it helps your skin. My ultimate goal is to have clear and young looking skin. I want my skin to look as natural as possible. I will keep you posted on how things are going.

Just a review...

I've been combining my Skinceuticals Vit C Serum 10 with SKII Treatment Essence for about 3 weeks now...

I am verry happy with the result, my skin is clearer and has stopped breaking out as it was prone to whenever I put any moisturiser on it be4. Not sure which prod is really doing the trick though Smile

And after using for 2 weeks ppl also noticed my skin turns a shade lighter. Anyone can explain why, is there any whitening ingredient in any of the prods mentioned above?

The SC daily Sun Defense is also good and does not clog my pores.

I don't know about the SKII, but vitamin C does help with reversing some sun damage...but never heard of it lightening skin like that.

When I started vit C I got a really nice glow, maybe that's what you're experiencing.
