I just recieved my foundation pack in the mail last night so I used them last night and this morning. I must say my first reaction is WOW!!! I ordered the foundation pack which comes with the following...
Face & Body Cleanser: This stuff is fantastic! It leaves your face feeling so smooth and clean at the same time. Not overly dry or tight at all! It also took of the small amount of makeup that I had on.
Oxytoner: Didnt really notice anything with this product...it says to use it in order to moistuize properly so I did. Not drying...stinging...very mild.
PhytoMoisturizer: This stuff ROCKS!!! It moisturized my drying winter skin with only a couple of squirts. It feels fantastic under my makeup too....
Cell Renewal Serum: I havent noticed any dramatic results but I didnt expect to. The container is TINY and it says that a little goes a long way. You apply when its wet so it spreads easily.
Synergy Serum: I used this last night. It felt a little sticky...so I think I applied too much. It is pumpkin color and smells like lavender. Again, no overnight results but I'll keep using it.
Overall my face feels very clean and hydrated. I am extremely impressed with these products so far. The price is right and the containers are nice sized so as of right now the cleanser is a reorder and so is the moisturizer. I think it does work as a system though so I'll probably repurchase the system again. I have only used it a couple of times so to be fair I'll do an actual review after I've used it for a month or so.
manslayerliz....thank you so much for turning me on to these products!  |

You're welcome!!  I'm glad that you like these products as much as I do. I'm really looking forward to hearing how the serums are working for you down the road as I've definitely been eyeing them.
I also agree that the Phyto moisture is really nice under make up. I've noticed that when my skin is on the drier side, my make up can make it look even drier, but having the Phyto moisture under my make up helps to ward off that effect and keeps me looking dewy.
I have to say that I wasn't "wowed" by the Oxytoner at first since it's gentle and mild but seems like a normal toner, but as I kept using it (esp. with the Phyto Moisture and O2) I noticed that my skin is getting clearer and brighter by the day. |

| manslayerliz...i'm curious...do you wash your makeup off before you cleanse with zenbiotics? |

Actually, I can't use the Zenbiotic cleanser since it contains castor oil, and while I like their rinseless cleanser I don't think it replaces traditional cleanser, so here's my current system:
*Come home, mist face with Rinseless Cleanser and wipe make up off so skin can breathe.
*Before bed, wash with regular cleanser (Juice Beauty Green Apple Cleanser, Skin Milk Face Cleanser, etc), exfoliate, then tone with Oxytoner, mist with O2, then continue with night routine.
*Then, in the morning, sometimes I wash with a regular cleanser, sometimes I just use the Rinseless, then I follow with the Oxytoner, 02, Phyto Moisture, and then the rest of my routine. HTH! |

| Ok. I was curious bc the cleanser does not seem like it would remove all my "normal" makeup. I'll wash before i use the cleanser. |

Olivia thanks for posting your review!! I am one step closer to getting the pack plus one of their $$ serums... I guess I'll have to bite the bullet to try it first.
Do keep us updated! |

| The foundation pack comes with 2 serums...synergy and zen. I must say my skin has looked better and better each day. I use the synergy serum at night and the zen in the morning. I am thrilled with these products! I'm placing another order for the eyecream and a couple other things today. |

I just added these products to my AM routine and man, I love them as much as my PSF gems! The oxygen spray is fantastic for everyday use and affordable compared to PSF (still love this but only use it for big issues).
The spray controls my oil and balances my skin! Huge rave! |

| hummmm....I may be adding the oxygen spray to my order now. I am going to order the Vit C&MRM...have you tried it? Or the collidal silver spray. My blemishes are totally gone but i want to have something handy if they come back! |

Olivia, I have not tried the Vit. C or Colloidal Silver as my skin is 95% clear these days, thankfully. I plan to reorder the Oxygen spray (about 3, I think) so I can carry one with me for daily touch ups.  It works perfectly and I am happily giving up my pressed powder!
I am currently using IS Clinical's Super Serum (Vit. C) and plan to use it up before buying another but I will definitely look into the Zen option as I'm very impressed w/their products. Another reason that I haven't tried anything else is that I wanted to test drive the main foundation pack and the oxygen spray before getting anything else. You should see my routine in the AM! It's hilarious but incorporates my two product line loves (PSF and Zenbiotics)! |

| Olivia, which eye cream did you order? I'm still looking for my HG eyecream, so I'm looking forward to hearing how you like it! |

I received my first order from Zenbiotics earlier on this week. So I haven't been using it for long but so far I'm really likeing the products that I've tried, and am definately interested in trying some more of the line.
I ordered the OxyToner, the Oxygen Soothe and Detox, Colloidal Silver and Phyto Moisturizer and they included a sample of the Face and Body Cleanser.
I'm really pleased that I ordered the Phyto Moisturiser after reading Manslayerliz review! It's perfect for my skin, doesn't leave it shiny at all, but provides a surprising amount of hydration, without leaving any residue.
I still want to use my Skinceuticals C serum though, but am not sure where I would use it. After I've used the Oxytoner and Oxygen Soother and Detox, or before? |

So I've joined the Zenbiotic train gang too, just placed my order of foundation pack with the Amino acid treatment and eye revitaliser.. So I will update you guys
Robert (from Zenbiotic) is a really neat guy! He offered a 25% discount on the Amino acid treatment and heavily discounted my int'l shipping.... so I hope it is worth it. |

Just wanted to update that the Zenbiotics products are working VERY well for me. My skin is looking noticably better since I introduced the line into my AM routine. I love the Oxygen Replenish spray as an every-day option to my PSF O2, which I am now saving for after-peel care and other situations requiring a more potent repair.
I even ordered the foundation pack for my fiancé! He hasn't a clue when it comes to skin care so I'm spreading the love  . 
My routine is currently so involved that I can't imagine how in the heck I could add any more of the Zen products but since I am currently such a fan, I imagine at some point, I will try! Good lord!  |

I have had a really bad cyst on my jawline and have been using the Collodidal Silver on it for the past few days, and i'm really pleased with the results It hasn't gone completely, but the redness and infection has, so far it's clearing up faster than when I have used the PSF O2 on similar problems.
I'm thinking about placing a bulk order on some of the products! Don't want to run out and have to wait for them to be delivered Must say though that the shipping to the UK was really quick though, and they were really helpful! |

| manslayerliz...I ordered the eye revitalizer. My HG eyecream is dermalogica intensive eye but I want to find something more natural. I have been using better botanicals Apricot eyecream and its ok...not my HG. I'll let you know how I like it. |

I received my products last night (really fast delivery).
1.Eye Area Revitalizer: Very nice consistancy. Pumpkin color will a slight lavender smell (not bad). I used it yesterday afternoon and my eyes stayed as hydrated as when I use my HG eyecream (dermalogica). I usually develop milia right away if I'm going to and I have not seen anything yet. I'll keep you posted though. I also used this on my lips and WOW! Very hydrated without being sticky or wet. I am really loving this product. Lets hope it does not cause milia!!!
2.Vit C & MSM Serum: This product goes on after the toner and before the moistuizer. I did notice a very big difference in the moisture level of my skin. I did not notice any immediate results in my color or fine lines but I'm sure it takes more than 1 application. I'm not happy about the fact that this product needs to be kept in the fridge but I'll get over it. I'll keep you posted on my results.
3.Purifying Mask: Hummmm....my thoughts are mixed on this product. It is a clay powder that needs to be mixed with your toner. I am lazy I guess and hate mixing my own masks...even though I know when things are more "natural" or "organic" it is better to be mixed just before use. This stuff stinks to high heaven and is a terrible dark green color (kinda flipped my stomach). I left it on for about 15 minutes and I did feel a warming sensation on my forehead. When I removed it you could see where the mask had been bc my face was really red. It didnt hurt and I do not have sensitive skin so I'm thinking it is a normal reaction. Kinda like the thermal mask from arbonne. It went away quickly and this morning my skin looked awesome! Clear/radiant/toned! I must say if the results were not so good I would not be happy with this product at all...but then again...who cares what you have to go through as long as the results are good....right?
Anyway...I'll keep you posted but I am loving everything I have from zenbiotics. They even included a travel toner and cleanser in the box! Yippie! |

| Mithai, as it states on their website, you'll have to email Zenbiotics because they charge actual rates, and Robert can give a discount if you order over a certain amount. |

| I'm in Canada and I was charged $9.95 for shipping. But Robert also gave me a free sample of their cleanser. So it's like free shipping! |

| Ok...I've used the mask 2x's this week and both times I have awoke to major breakouts. I'm not sure if it is the natural "detox" of the skin or what but UGH!!! I love everything else though. The Vit C& MSM really hydrates the skin! |
