| NCN has a loyal following on this Forum. All the products that I have ever tried have been great but my particular favourite is the Sheer Mineral Tint Moisturiser. If you want to try something and have questions about it, Nancy's service is always very prompt and helpful. |

| I'm a died in the wool believer of the pumpkin peel and the copper peptides. I also have her DPL and microfiber facial cloth. I have yet to try one of her products that wasn't exceptional. Nanci goes to great lengths to provide excellent products and customer service. |

I had great expectations to the NCN products, but unfortunately, the NCN Pumpkin Mask was the only product I really liked.
Exfol serum (2 % salicylic acid) - did nothing for my skin
Daily Exfoliator - (white willow bark extract in a sea kelp base) did nothing in terms of exfoliating, and left a sticky layer on my face.
CP Power accelerator - a moisturizer with lots of supposedly great ingredients, but unfortunately it did not moisturize very well. It might work better for those using CPs.
Protect and restore cream (high retinol and lavender) - is supposed to exfoliate and regenerate. I used it on my chest, but did not see any results. |

| Septembergirl, I found that using the Protect and restore cream right after the pumpkin peel made a major difference in my chest wrinkles - it took 3-4 months of using Protect and restore cream twice a day and the pumpkin peel weekly, but I did get results that I am pleased with. |

Thank you, Salli! I still have one third left of the P & R tube and will give it a try.  |

I'm a HUGE fan of Nanci's products. I use the 12% Multi-AHA moisturizer, Pumpkin Peel, and Rhassoul Clay bar regularly. She just sent me a sample of her new Bio-Active Night Repair cream and I'm liking that too. Also use the 15% micronized zinc oxide "I'm Covered." No, I'm not being paid to endorse her products. Just really like 'em!  |

| I was looking at the anti aging kit which includes the microfiber cloth, cp serum, I'm covered day lotion and the pumpkin peel. Are these good products to start with for my 49 year old skin? Also does that DPL light really work? What differences have you seen in your skin while using it? |

Keliu, does it cover much at all ...like dark circles or uneven skintone? |

It provides a natural, dewy, even colour. I have an uneven skintone and I find it enough for my skin. However, it is definitely not as heavy as traditional foundation. I'm not sure that it would completely conceal undereye circles but what I do in this area is apply the Mineral Tint then apply a light reflecting illuminizer. I find this method more flattering that using heavy foundation or concealers. |

Nanci really gives fabulous customer service 
My favorite product is the NCN Pro Pumpkin Peel - I use it weekly or alternative with a DIY company's aspirin mask.
In my last order, I also got two vaculifters (small face and small body) and the vaculifter oil from her. I'm loving these gadgets  There is a long thread on facial cupping including use of the vaculifters on EDS:

I am in agreement with Septembergirl on this review. I love the pumpkin peel and Nanci is the sweetest person with great customer service, but sadly none of the products did anything for me other than the pumpkin peel. |

Ladies
I have good things to say too. I bought the foundation, the sunblock and copper peptides and they are all excellent. Agree with everyone else that Nanci takes time with you and is most pleasant.

I love everything I have tried from NCN. I have the daily exfoliator, super cp, P&R with retinol, firming liquid mmu, DPL, microfiber cloth, and pumpkin peel. She answers my questions promptly and is very nice. I'm expecting the rhassoul cleansing bar and no lines today.

| I use the firming foundation and I love it. No breakouts. The peel is awesome, though I can't use too much of it, but it does a great job of giving me glowing skin. I would love to try the DPL, but would like to get more info and opinions. |

You're going to LOVE the clay bar! It manages to be soft and creamy yet long lasting at the same time. I tossed all of my regular body soap and am using that now! |

I've been using the Rhassoul bar on my face at night and love it. I may try it for the body as well. It does not dry my skin out and has a very thick lather. I will order this again!

I've tried all of the following:
Cell Renewal Cleanser; Very nice cleanser that rinses clean without leaving a *very* dry feeling. With that said, I also need to tell you that on the seldom occasion that I wear makeup, this cleanser on it's own, needs two lathers and rinses to completely remove mascara.
Rhassoul Clay Facial Cleansing Bar; I love that it has no scent. It removes makeup well, sans mascara, but needs lots of rinsing, and a final rub with a microfiber cloth to remove film.
Cell Renewal Toner; I don't normally use a toner, but I tried the sample Nanci sent. I really don't like it, and feel as though it leaves a film on my face.
Microfiber Cloth; This cloth is awesome and very durable; it just lasts forever with hand washing. I also have cheap ones that I love, but Nanci's really are a pleasure to use.
30% Pumpkin Peel; Received the sample and loved it enough to buy again. My skin is very healthy and resilient, so I need to leave it on more than 20 minutes to get "the glow". The smell just makes you want to lick your chops..luv this stuff!
Hyaluronic Acid Cream; Received sample and like it very much. The smell is very mild and clean, and it hydrates well without being at all heavy. It sinks right in. I also find this cream a good base for my DIY concoctions, and have added several actives to it with very nice results.
Botox Alternative SPF30; Received sample and only used it twice. It smells nice, but I'm not really sure what it's special thing is.. I have a couple of fine crows feet, but didn't see a difference there. It did sink right in, and feel nice. As far as sunscreens go, it's the only SPF#30 that I've ever tried that sank in that quickly, and didn't burn my eyes by the end of the day. It's so nice that it's hard to believe a sunscreen is really in there.
Bio-Active Night Repair; Nanci sent me a sample of this, and I loved it so much I ordered the full size immediately. For anybody with dry, and/or mature skin you will love it. I use it at night (watered down), and it just makes your skin feel wonderful. The smell is incredible too. I especially like putting it on before my LED treatment, or after the pumpkin peel mask....love it!
Seaweed Therapy Masque; This is an awesome mask that just seems to brighten my skin and make it feel totally refreshed and rejuvenated. The fragrance is very natural and earthy, and I find it very calming also.. love it, and will buy!
Vaculifters;
Small Face: Great around the eyes, forehead + lips. I find it too rough and time consuming for the rest of my face, and really feel that the shallow depth of the cup is not suitable for the places that need deeper suction.
Large Face: This is my favorite of all 4. I use it on the majority of my face, and also on my neck, chest + arms. It's also the one that works best for me for lymphatic drainage of my face + neck.
Small Body: I like this one for my abdomen, legs + hiney..
Large Body: This is the one I wish I didn't buy. It's just to big to get and hold a good suction. I think if they had made the cup a little deeper, it would have worked better.
I'd like to add that Nanci is awesome, with the best customer service I've encountered. She's a doll, and will accommodate a customer to the best of her ability. |

| I use the microfibre cloth, cleansing toner, CP serum, botox alternative sunscreen, bio active night cream and pumpkin peel. I've been using the products for about 3-4 months, noticed no negative effects, and a gradual continual improvement in the appearance of my skin, I am in in for the long haul. The customer service is great (I order from Australia). NCN has cured me of my * spam alert * to expensive designer 'skin care products' that promise everything and deliver nothing! |
