Used the Cure first time tonight. My skin was quite flaky from an application of 0.1% Retin A a couple of nights ago so I was interested to see if the Cure actually removed the flaking skin - which I tried to remove with a microfiber cloth this morning. IT DID!!!
|
Did the flaking skin re-appear? |
No. I used the Cure again two days later with a similar experience. However, I did rub some skin off from my temple area and actually drew blood! This is a very strange product - I can only presume that it is actually exfoliating and if you rub too hard you could over do it. |

I 100% agree with the rubbing too hard aspect...I overdid it the first time and my face was pretty raw for a couple of days. |

Ditto. I just overdid it again. It seems so gentle that I guess I don't realize I am rubbing either too much or too hard? |

I think I will stick with my Aloette it does the same result wise, cost is close to the same, and in years of use it never irritated once! |

I forgot where I last posted, but I think the main problem with Cure is the *dry* rubbing and increased friction, so you don't realise you are rubbing too hard.
Perhaps try using more product? Then it won't totally dry up and would still have some "slip" to buffer the rubbing. |

I think this what may have happened to me, but isn't is suppose to dry up as you are exfoliating, or do we want it "wet" (sorry can't think of a better word) the entire time? |

That is why I like the one I have by Aloette, it does not ever totally dry thanks to the formula! |

LOL. That sounds much more similar to what I use! I tend to think it does the job without any worries of irritating.  |

It is supposed to be dry. Just if you have the tendency to go rub-happy then try it at 80% dry instead of 100% dry. Sorry can't think of a better way to describe this too!
DM's Aloette and NCN's product both use some enzymes to help dissolve flaky skin, so are less dependent on the rubbing. As opposed to Cure's mainly rubbing mode of action. |

Actually the Aloette uses a combination of both enzymes and rubbing, I have used it for several years! It rolls off dead skin cells after the enzymes loosen the surface cells.
The NCN formula is very close in the formula so I am taking an educated guess it works in a similar manner. |

I want to use Copper Peptides and my skin is bit sensitive, so AHA may not be good for me to slough off the dead skin.
Do you thin that Cure can do what AHA does? |
I like Cure a lot but think Ishizawa Mangosteen Peeling Gel is even better because it has an AHA base and vitamins B, C & E. Works the same as Cure but I feel the exfoliation is deeper due to the AHA base. You only need a small amount and works great on my sensitive skin. Maybe you would like to try the Ishizawa? |

Hi Denisiel,
Wow, it looks like a good prodcut too.
Thx! |

Yes, as I said both Aloette and NCN are less dependent on rubbing as the only mode of action because they also use other exfoliants (enzymes). *Perhaps* a better idea if you tend to over rub your skin. Also denisiel's mangosteen peeling gel with AHA. |

| I have to report that I tried the Cure today, the skin feels raw and even a very simple cream applied after burns like hell. Besides, it seems like it requires at least 2 applications to remove the flakes completely. One application is not enough, and the second one made my skin red. Hmm... not a gentle exfoliator for sure! |

That is exactly what I experienced...not as gentle as they lead you to believe! |

Maybe you're rubbing too hard? Do you push down hard when you are rubbing the product in? I just sort of gently rub the product into my skin with the tips of my fingers and I have not gotten any irritation. |

I feel we are saying the same thing here, the Aloette does use both methods to exfoliate and is gentle as can be! I haven't tried NCN's new product but it seems very similar in the way it works! |

Darkmoon...any chance you can start an Aloette review thread? This is the CURE thread, and you have mentioned Aloette so many times now that I really think it deserves it's own thread! (kind of like not like discussing AnteAge repeatedly on the ReLuma thread, yanno?).
I would love to hear more about it on your own review thread, and I am sure others would too! |

I just went to makeup alley to read the 55 reviews there. 72% plan to buy the product again and people comment on the gentleness and glow afterwards. That's been my experience too.
There are 27 reviews on amazon, and not one reports harshness or skin redness, people love it. |

No rubbing,jom, since I know my skin very well )) In fact, I made an experiment and used the Cure once on the left cheek and two times on the right cheek, both cheeks became red. The redness went away the next morning which is good, but I assume one should be careful with the product she applies after!
The AnteAge serum stung, I washed it off, the Paula Choice Hydralight moisture-infusion lotion stung, I washed it off, and only the Paula's Choice Natural moisturizer felt wonderfully calming.
The flakes on the left cheeks did not disappear.

That was also my experience. I could not apply the AnteAGE right after using the Cure as it stung!
I think it is a good product, as it really removes the flakes for me, but I think you have to approach it like circus said. Use is more "wet"! |

You mean, wet the face first? Do you do it two times as well?
