| Hm, reviews on Makeup Alley aren' too good... |
I am not trying to defend the product but most of those reviews used only one of the M Lab products and used it with other products from different manufacturers. After many trials of different products, I have come to the conclusion that to get the best of a product, it has to be used with other products from the same product line. The best results I have ever obtained have come from the use of multiple products from the same line. |

For those of you that are using M Lab products, the websitewww.hautelook.com does have M Lab come up for sale from time to time. It's a designer sale website for clothing, beauty products, home, jewelry etc... and their sales usually run about 48 hours. Great discounts too. I've seen up to 70-80% off some items.
Their sales seem to repeat themselves so keep an eye out, I'm sure M Lab will come up again in the future... |

I received my travel kit from Mlab. After trying this line and having really good skin to begin with, I have to say my skin looks better. I'm hooked!! And I agree with bushy, while trying this line I used all the products exclusively. It may be expensive but now I'm on the lookout for the occasional sale so I can stock up  |

So for this line to be effective you have to use every product from their line, meaning the cleanser, toner, serum, cream, and sunscreen? |

| As I recall, Bushy was a big Remergent fan like me. Bushy, do you like this more or as much? It's so expensive, but I'm tempted to get the travel set while it's on sale. I'm afraid I'll like it and then the sale will be over.Decisions, decisions.... |

I actually prefer the M LAB line to Remergent. I love the cleanser and toner (Remergent's cleanser worked but wasn't exciting to use) as it has a very light fresh smell and leaves the skin clean, fresh and soft. It is a very simple routine and my skin just takes to it. |

| I am not trying to sell this line, but I think it is one line of products that give the best results when used together. The best way to try the products is to purchase the travel pack which gives cleanser, toner, day lotion with SPF, serum, eye cream and night cream. It is a very simple routine to just use these products and nothing else and you will be surprised at just how good your skin condition becomes. |
bushy, how does this line compare to Valmont? Mainly, Glacier E'lexir line. |

Hi rileygirl, I'm not implying that the effectiveness of this line relies on using every product in the line. But I do think that when testing out a new line, in order to give it a fair shot it is a good idea to try the products (whichever the product in the line you choose) exclusively. btw, I am now using this along with the Intraceuticals line and they mix beautifully |

My ultimate product is Valmont L'Elixir Des Glaciers Regenerating Serum as I can use this both face and eyes. Unfortunately, the bottle only lasts a month so it is just too expensive. |

You can risk one time and buy it on ebay. |

| So, I'm so bummed, the sale for M Lab at Skinstore ended. I don't know why but I thought it ended this coming Friday. Is there anywhere else that has it on sale? |

| What are the clinically active ingredients in these products? Is it necessary to give up retinoids and vitamin C or does the line incorporate them in some way? I would hate to give up using either one. |

| The good news is I ordered the M Lab travel set while the sale was still on at SkinStore. The bad news is I love it, especially the eye cream , and it's sooooo expensive. I'm testing another line right now, but was very impressed with the eye cream and will purchase it when I get done this new line. Yes, I truly am a skin care junkie. I wonder if EDS might carry M Lab someday. |

I am interested in the same question, I wonder what are the ingredients that make this line so special that so many are hooked? And do they justify the price? Yep what about Retin A and C products with this line? Sorry a lot of questions!
TIA

| Goodness! I keep hoping I won't like pieces of the MLAB travel collection and keep falling in love! I tried the cleanser for the first time today and was blown away. Similar to 302 the texture is creamy and doesn't foam. On a side note, I did have problems with the travel size dispenser where cream was coming out the side. Even four hours later, my skin is still baby soft. Oh, how I wish I'd purchased the full sizes when SkinStore was having 50% off. So, I'm officially in love with the cleanser and eye cream. I would never have heard of this line without EDS. |

| Until February 11th, 2010 the M Lab Body Cream is on sale for $85 instead of $185 on the actual M Lab website. I caved since it's more than 50% off! |
