Based on Marta's (Truth In Aging) review of the Osmotics product, I decided to order the Molecular Repair. I decided to do a trial with both the SB's GHK and the Osmotics Molecular Repair. I used the GHK followed by the AALS 5 nights with 2 days of just the GHK and no AALS for 1 week. The next week (which ended tonight) I used the Osmotics Molecular Repair followed by the AALS 5 nights. Skinbiology's GHK is the clear winner for my skin. After the 2-3rd day of GHK followed by the AALS at night, my broken caps were looking great - the redness was barely noticeable. After about day 4-5 my skin did get very dry. This week using the Osmotics Molecular Repair, there was no change in the broken caps and in fact they started to look more red.
I will definitely go back to using the GHK followed by the AALS at least a few nights a week, as I believe this combo is great for broken caps. On to my next trial! |

That's great to hear you seem to have found a winning combo for the broken caps Riley!
Now what's that next trial you are off too, or you going to surprise us after?  |

I'll be looking for your review Riley !!! I was looking at that product myself, but didn't allow myself to get it at this point. I already ordered a number of different Osmosis products that haven't arrived yet !! |

I just read the article and noticed that it is $125.00 for a week of product... that was a pricey experiment. So... thanks for sharing. Glad the SkinBiology products are working better than the much more costly counterpart. I'm sure you are too. My newest SB order: Skin Signals Cream should arrive soon. This is one CP product I haven't tried yet and from what I've read the results sound very good. |

I'll keep you posted, Time2Bme. I started yesterday, so after 1 month I will do a review! |

It is an expensive product, Sis! In all fairness, I failed to mention in my review that the Osmotics has a lot of product in those tiny tubes. The first day I used the entire tube and it was way too much. (I also applied the product (and the GHK, as well) to my neck and chest area during my experiment.) You can get at least 2 days out of the tube, so in reality the Molecular Repair should last 2 weeks. I still have 2 1/2 tubes left. |

rileygirl, do you use the GHK serum twice or once a day? If only once, what do you use at the opposite time of the day?
Have you noticed any other changes in your skin in terms of firmness, texture, wrinkles with the GHK/AALS combo?
Thanks for the review, by the way!
Time2Bme, as far as I understood, Osmotics and Osmosis are two different skincare lines. Which one did you purchase? |

RussianSunshine, I am sorry. I should have been more clear. I was using both the Osmotics and the GHK serum twice a day for my 1 week trial, but only used the AALS at night with each of them.
Unfortunately, no, I haven't noticed any other difference in my skin in terms of texture, wrinkles, or firmness with the GHK. |

Hi SkinCareJunkie! I have been wondering how you are doing! Yes the GHK works well on my broken caps. Unfortunately, the redness did return with the Osmotics product and is still there after just a few days use of the SkinMedica. I am anxious to get back on the GHK, but I had purchased the SkinMedica and want to give it a fair shot! So far, I have to say I am not thrilled with it, but we'll see what 1 months use brings! |

rileygirl, why are you anxious to get back to the GHK serum? And, if it works for broken caps, why not using it twice a day?
I'm thinking of doing the same thing: using GHK twice a day. I do not have luck with any C serums and BHA/AHA products anyway  |

Hey Riley,
I'm still living LOL  I'm sorry your redness has returned. I know it can be so frustrating! You try to do something good for your skin and bam.. the redness comes!
I've read about the SkinMedica cream in Allure, please keep us updated on how well you do with this product! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
Before I started using the Osmosis products (I wrote about them in the Osmosis thread that you started) I started using the Dreamu Emu Oil. This product really seemed to reduce my redness but did nothing for broken caps. I think I will incorporate Emu Oil in my routine again. If you haven't tried Emu Oil.. this may be a good product to try for you. I know GOW sells it cheaper than Dreamu!
Do you think the AALS has helped at all with broken caps? I know they have one for redness, but you never know with these things!
Take Care and Best wishes on your skincare journey! |
