Hello, I've been using Cellcosmet Exfoliate Dual Action and Cellcosmet Activator Gel for a two weeks(my samples almost finished). I can say that I like Cellcosmet Activator Gel. I gives the feeling of cooling sensation (probably due to mint). I don't think it is worth the price though...
The other product that I am using is Cellcosmet Exfoliate Dual Action. It is too rough for my sensitive skin, but it is a very good exfoliator. It is good for blackheads, but you have to be very gentle when you use it. The little sharp pieces of exfoliating material can damage your skin. I will try to continue to use it once a week, because I can't find better solution for getting rid of blackheads  . I am not happy that my skin seems red after I use of this exfoliator. It looks like I have a little cuts after using Exfoliate Dual Action even though I don't press hard. I only massage my skin for a minute and then rinse it with cool water. I find that the price for this product is also too high.

lara, did you get your samples in the EDS offer? what other cellcosmet products have you tried?
I tried Ultravital and the eye cream and did not like them, but I am planning to buy the mask and try the sensitive range (ultravital was too much for my skin) |

I haven't tried the Cellcosmet Exfoliate Dual Action, but I have a few suggestions..
If you're using it on dry skin wet your skin first to make it less harsh.
Use and night only and apply a good moisturizer after. This will keep you from being red during the day and help with any dryness/damage that might be caused by the scrubbies.
Maybe a minute is too long, perhaps try 30sec to 45 sec next time and see what results you get. |

I love cellcosmet. I bought quite a few of their products awhile back. I agree that the exfoliant is pretty rough for all but occasional use. The activator is nice but I did not repurchase. I love the gel cleanser,the preventive day cream and the eye cream.  My husband has fallen for the preventive night cream. I had gotten the day and night, but found the night cream was too heavy for me except in particularly cold weather. (I am in TX, so that doesn't happen often) He stole it and just finished his first jar. He said he wanted another and when I told him how much it was, he said it was ok because that is the only skincare product he uses!!  |

I liked the Cellcosmet eyecream but its wayyyy too expensive for me.  (I had a sample with an EDS order). Other thing was I am sure someone said it had a product in it that made it unsuitable for vegetarian hippys like myself.
So great if you are a rich meat eater! LOL!  |

Hehe that was me who mentioned the ingredient.  But not to tick anyone off...just to let consumers beware if they had a concern. I will not post the ingredient again because if I remember correctly the thread got alittle bit off topic and ended up um...rather gross. But hey the ingredients come with the samples if you wanna look and go from there. I adore the eye cream but too much$$ for me. The exfoliator is nice, one that my skin can handle but not too often. Activator gel is blah..kinda stung my face. Ultravial is very nice in the winter when it's REALLy cold here. Not nice enough to buy though on my budget. Didnt' cause any breakouts the limited times I tried it (sample). HTH |

Yes, I got some samples from EDS (appreciate that very much  ) when I bought my Valmont Contour Cellular Eye and Mouth Cream . I love that cream!!!I also got Valmont Nature Taking Care of Lips and Eyes, I'm not so happy about this one. It just doesn't do anything for my skin ... |

I tried Cream for sensitive skin, it's very good and not oily. What kind of mask from Valmont do you want to try? |

Actually, it is the Cellcosmet anti-stress mask I am going to try… at the moment it is such a good deal… 10% off + 2 free hand cream samples included and not to mention the little sample gift pack as well. The gift pack includes the sensitive day but not sensitive night, so I might need to ask for an extra sample
I just love masks!! I would do a mask of some kind every day if I had time…. |

I'm not Tiger_tim, BUT... There's now a 10% off voucher at EDS (code: cupidstrikes, valid till 15/02) and the mask currently comes with the bonus handcream http://www.essentialdayspa.com/cellcosmet-anti-stress-ma-p_4368.htm plus with every order you get the little trial set of samples (but don't forget to add that to your order if you get the mask).
