TCA Chemical Facial Peel 12% Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am 45 and have very light skin. This product removed almost all of my freckles and age spots and gave me skin that looks good even without foundation. It took away my large pores on my cheeks, and improved the small "chicken bump" texture I have under my eyes. All my wrinkles are not gone but they look softer and are less noticeable as the skin is softer and seems to "drape" better. The difference is dramatic. I have used this product 3 times. The first time I left it on for only 1 minute. The second time I left it on for 3 minutes. Both of these peels still gave me great effects (and left me wrinkled a peeling for a few days afterwards). The 3rd time I was more confident to use the peel like a professional would, layering the product by putting it all over my face for 3 minutes, applying a second layer and waiting 3 more minutes before applying a third and finally a fourth time in the few spots that didn't seem to frost over. You should know it hurts! At first my skin looked very red like a bad sunburn. Brown spots start showing up and continue to get much worse until the skin was very dry, taught, wrinkled and dark. This is best described as a layer of dark wrinkled leather.It is not pretty and it is not subtle. Plan to hide for a week! After 5 days I looked better and could return to the real world. By day 10 my skin was shiny, smooth, and amazing. I suggest starting off slow with this...you don't know how your skin will react and it is a very strong peel. I had done my research and so before doing the peel I had on hand skin neutralizer to stop the sting immediately after washing the product off, emu oil to keep the skin moist while it is healing, and copper peptide serum to help speed the healing. I saved several hundred dollars using this product instead of a laser peel and I'm very happy with the results.

Cover Your Gray Root Touch-Up - Dark Brown Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This product is like mascara but presumably with a little more staying power. It is not much larger than mascara either (which I have also tried). I have used it in front at crown of head and it does cover the growing in light roots and at sides also. It goes on easily and lasts a few days. I don't use it often and only to protect my hair from the drying results of doing a complete hair dye of entire head.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I never use all-hair color anymore as this product is permanent and I use it at least every two weeks. It doesn't drip or make a mess. I leave it on longer than suggested....maybe 20 minutes. There are coupons out there and I never pay over $6.00 for it in local stores.

Jan Marini BioGlycolic BIOCLEAR Cream 1 oz Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am an esthetician who has used the Bioclear serum and sold both the serum and cream with great success. I have yet to find another product that gets rid of blackheads like this one. It also makes your skin feel really smooth. My clients seemed to like the cream better because it was not drying.

Clarisonic Mia Skin Cleansing System, Lavender Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Clarisonic has a winner with the Mia! I absolutely love it! I bought the Sonicare toothbrush years ago with great results on my dental exams, so a sonic cleansing system for my skin sounded worth investigating. I was intrigued by all the positive reviews of the Clarisonic Mia. I have sensitive skin, and I'm not exactly a 20-something year old anymore...or 30, or 40, or 50; I have to stop here before I give my age away! This little Mia has changed my skin for the better. I can't believe after a few weeks it has smoothed my skin so beautifully! I follow the instructions that came with it, and don't overdo the time limit it suggests. There were always tiny little bumps around my lips and under my eyes that never went away. Not really obvious, but a bother to me. Well, the Mia has really made them go away! Exfoliating to me has always been associated with harsh abrasives, or acids. But in a few weeks the Mia has done a better job, with no irritation, than any other method I have used. I think everyone should have one, it is that good! It is a bit pricey but it is so worth it. It comes with the sensitive skin brush and a tube of cleanser. I prefer to use my Basis soap as it is so mild. I also purchased the Delicate skin brush. That is what I am using now although the sensitive brush gave me no problems, I just wanted the option of two brushes. I use it on my neck and sometimes on the backs of my hands. Smooth skin is wonderful! My moisturizer sinks in and is really working better now. I highly recommend this cute little Mia for everyone!

DermaNew Acne and Oil Clarification System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I ordered my DermaNew Acne kit in late January 2007. The item came packaged in a ziplock bag, which was odd. Out of the bag, the item was open; there was no shrinkwrap or anything to protect the contents, thought the included spongeheads (one small, one large) were shinkwrapped, as were the included AA batteries. The "tool" itself reminds me of Neutrogena's dermabrasion tool, both in the type of plastic used, and the vibrations it makes: the handle itself vibrates when the tool is used, which is very unpleasant. Also, the vibration of the head itself doesn't really have much of an effect; you get the same effect whether the tool is on or off. That means the tool is just an expensive combination facial cleansing brush/foam application sponge. The "dermabrasion" cream that comes with the kit isn't that great; it's only 1% salicylic acid (beta hydroxy acid) and it doesn't really exfoliate or clean that well. The item certainly isn't worth its MSRP, but perhaps is worth under ten dollars; it's just a novelty. The instruction manual that comes with it look like it's been cut from a larger sheet of paper w/ a child's pair of safety scissors -- BY a child (it's crooked), and the box it comes in looks suspiciously dirty and broken, like it's been open and/or thrown around a lot since it was filled.

Tru Solutions:Complete Glycolic Acid 30% Chemical Facial Peel Kit (professional set) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I compared this to many other bottles of Glycolic acid 30%, and this kit comes with a full bottle of the glycoic acid, plus a glycolic cleanser, glycolic toner, glycolic face cream and a fan in a nice zipper pouch. All this for the price of a bottle of 30% glycolic acid from other companies.
You can smell and feel the glycolic acid in the cleanser, the toner, and face cream. This really benefits the skin, preparing it for the peel and for care in between peels. I had the typical patches of dead skin a day or two after the peel, the cleanser, toner, and lotion helped speed the shedding and increased the benefits.
I have very pale skin, and felt starting with 30% was as strong as I could handle. Sure enough it stings as soon as you start brushing on the actual glycolic acid it self. Sitting by a small fan really helped. I used my cell phone timer, and was more than ready to rinse at 1 minute. I had a bowl of baking soda and water next to me which neutralizes the acid and stops the peel. The directions say it will sting more when you apply the baking soda and water, and they were spot on. (I dipped the brush in the baking soda/water solution and it fizzed!)
Then I just laid a cool wet cloth on my face after wiping off the acid on my face, neck, and hands. While moist I applied the face cream. No redness the next day. It's been a week, and just finished my 2nd peel. I see a difference. Fading a few darker freckles I wanted removed, more even skin tone, smaller pores and fresh looking skin. I can't wait to see the improvement at week 6.
There seems to be enough to do at least 6 hand and face treatments, maybe as many as 10-12. This is so much more effective than the spa peels I've done. I like being in control, and the whole kit cost less than 1 facial/peel at a spa or doctors office. It's VERY important you follow the directions, and have the baking soda water ready (the kit doesn't include baking soda, it's only 1.50 at the market).
I will absolutely buy this package again. I think I will give this as a nice holiday gift to my friends and ladies at work.

Jessner's Chemical Peel Kit Anti-aging and Anti-acne Skin Care Treatment Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was so excited to get this peel. I have really done significant research to find the best home peel. My dermatologist told me about 6 months ago that I would benefit from a Jessner's peel since it's a medium depth peel. I had asked for her advice as in my early thirties, I've experienced mild adult acne, acne scarring, mid-size pores, and fine wrinkles. However, all the local dermatologists including mine charged north of $100 per treatment. It just wasn't priority compared to other things until.... I found and decided on this product.
The price seemed almost too good to be true, but I thought I would give it a shot. A years worth of applications for less than $30? What?? Well, I applied the peel. It took two layers to frost. The first layer I already felt an immediate intense stinging sensation. Boy was I surprised but pleased (as I have had a peel before and I know what it feels like when it works). This was a little more intense then the lighter peels I'd tried before like glycolic peels at the derm's office. By the second layer, I was literally tearing as the stinging sensation intensifed. A handheld fan I had did relieve some of the discomfort and as time subsided over the 5 min so did the stinging. Redness, brown and light surface scabbing, and peeling occured in the first few days until now. I'm on day 4. I'm pleased so far. The instructions were very thorough. The kit is fabulous as it comes with a full size moisturizer and a trial size cleanser. A little goes a long way. I will update soon, but I couldn't wait to add my two cents. Oh and by the way, I did prep by using prescribed tretinoin two weeks prior which may be why I reacted quickly and sensitively.
Highly recommend!!
Update:
It has now been about 2 weeks since my peel was complete. The peeling lasted 8 days. I really think the tretinoin treatment helped which is why the 8 day downtime was longer than average. Believe me this is not something you can get by in public without being noticed. It took an additional 2 days for the dryness and flaking to subside.
However, I can definitely say that this process has tremendously improved the texture and condition of my face. I did have some deep acne scars that have lightened 50% and should disappear on the recommended peel frequency. My pores appear much smaller and less noticeable especially under primer and foundation. I still have the occasional zit, but the instructions are clear that this is normal. The difference is night and day. Even my husband commented that my skin looks really good. My makeup applies and appears very fluid and almost flawless. Before this, my skin's appearance was dull and therefore so was my foundation over it. The value is amazing, as are the results, and I plan to continue treatment through the remainder of the year.

Clarisonic Pro - Professional Skin Care System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)*****
This video shows and tells about my amazing experience with the Clarisonic after only two days. I bought it as a gift to myself to improve my aging skin and have not been disappointed. I forgot to mention it in the video, but I also love the skin cleanser that comes with the Clarisonic. The Clarisonic is pricey, it's true, but worth what you pay for it. I hope that this video helps you to make a buying decision---buy it for someone else or just for you. Thank you for watching!
Highly recommended!
UPDATE: I have now used the Clarisonic for about a month. I love it and find that the effects for me are perfect with once a day use. It keeps my skin glowing and fresh and I am even more satisfied with it now than I was at first!

Oscar Blandi Pronto Colore Root Touch-Up & Highlighting Pen .16 fl oz (4.7 ml) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was excited to see this product. The hair around my temples seems to be gray all the time. I have used it a couple times, and it does cover the gray, but it does not dry. I put on a light coat and give it time to dry. But that does not happen. During the day at work I occasionally rest my hand on my head. It's great when it comes back with a big brown spot on it. They should have made this water proof too. I was out in the rain and had it running all down the sides of my head.

DDF-Doctor's Dermatologic Formula Revolve 400X Micro-Polishing System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm not a girl with too many gifts in life, but one I do have is great skin. Unfortunately, this genetic boon has made me somewhat lackadaisical about my skincare regimen. Now that I'm in my 40's, it's time to get a little more serious about this.
I've been using the DDF Revolve 400X Micro-Polishing System for two weeks now. When it arrived, the first thing I did was pop in the batteries and test it on the back of my hand. It felt great! Upon reading the instructions, I thought, "Doing this for one minute a day is not going to be enough." But actually, it is.
I've been using the machine exactly as recommended. It comes with two different types of heads used for two different activities. The soft-bristled brush can be used for daily cleansing--except for on days when you use the flat sponge head for exfoliation.
The first time I used my foaming cleanser with the brush head, I applied the cleanser directly to the device (as opposed to my skin) and I wondered if it would foam up like crazy. The micro-polisher spread the cleanser fine, but everything was sort of dry and not that foamy. I quickly learned that things are much more comfortable if you re-wet the brush head once or twice as you go. Using the machine on my skin does feel great. I start out at the lower speed and work my way up to the higher one. My thoughts of scrubbing my face for ten minutes at a time were way off-base. This is a fairly intense cleansing. There's nothing remotely irritating about it, but the recommended minute is really all you need. You can just tell. When I was done, my skin felt super clean and super smooth and just really, really good. And, FWIW, I now find that I'm more diligent in my use of sun screen, night cream, moisturizer, etc.
The next day I tried out the exfoliation function. It's recommended that you not do this more than twice a week, which seems about right. I'm sure that once a week will be plenty for many. For exfoliation, use one of the two included sponge heads. These sponges are firm and dense, like the kind you use to apply makeup. You'll also use a small amount (half a teaspoon) of the included DFF Polishing Crystals. Here, rather than on the machine head, I placed small dollops around my cheeks and chin. (It seemed less spreadable than the cleanser.) The cream has a very gritty texture, and when used it was noticeably self-warming, as advertised. Here again, I'd recommend thoroughly saturating the sponge head with water before use, and re-wetting if necessary so things don't get too dry and abrasive. And don't overdo exfoliation; it's like sand-blasting your face--but in a good way, LOL.
Again, I felt great and tingly after using the micro-polisher to exfoliate. To be honest, I suspect my esthetician would say that the polishing crystals are too abrasive to be used for exfoliation. (She always says that about things that feel good.) So, when my supply runs out, I'll probably continue to use the machine with a gentler product that she recommends.
I'll note again that I don't have any skin problems to cope with. Users with sensitive skin, rosacia, acne, or other issues may find their results to be more or less optimal than mine. Should I experience anything not noted here with extended use, I will update this review accordingly.
I see that some reviewers aren't pleased with the value of this product. I'll be honest, I find it hard to judge. I never purchase these sorts of luxury items, so I can't effectively compare it to similar products. All I can tell you is that I'm quite delighted with this little machine. While it is costly, it seems to be doing its job quite well, and it offers me a minute of real indulgence in my day. Like I said, it's a highlight.

Clarisonic Daily Renewal Serum (1 oz.) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love everything by clarisonic because all of their products work. The renewal serum gives instant results. Your skin will be absolutely radiant.
This serum is perfect for oily skin because it hydrates the skin, firms the skin and reduces fine lines. You don't have to wait 6 months to see results. I am just going to tell you the truth, the first time you use the product you will see results. What you will notice first is a healthy glow but more important, others will notice. It is expensive and no you can't go to a drug store or super market and find a cheaper product that will give you similar results. I have already went that route before. I thought I would save you the trip.

Hair Coloring Brush Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)i was waiting enthusiastically for this item, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment! i loaded the brush and put in the batteries as per instructions but the thing never worked. when i called the company they ran through the "to do" list, and when that was done, they said i could return it and gave me the r.a. number! they were not concerned one bit that the item was defective.
i sent off for the emjoi brand version, and hope that i have better luck with that one! it looks sturdier and when i put the batteries in, it made a promising hum. the other one made no sound when turned on.
i give it a zero rating, but this system does not allow for that.

Clarisonic Clarisonic(R) Plus Skin Care System & Spot Therapy Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this item through Amazon but, from a different dealer. I started having problems with the unit when using the body brush within a couple of months of purchase. It would lose it's charge after about a minute, the body cycle is suppose to last 3 minutes. Finally, I just started using the facial brush exclusively, I get occasional cystic acne and the Clarisonic was doing a great job clearing it up and stopping the outbreaks. Alas, the unit charge kept depleting over time, within 9 months of purchase, after letting it charge for a week it would die within seconds of me pushing the power button. I am one of those people that never fills out the warranty card, so, I figured I was totally hosed and was stuck with a $200.00 paper weight. However, I took the chance and called Clarisonic's customer service, they asked me what the problem was, had me read the serial number off the unit, told me I had a two year warranty on the Plus model and shipped me the new one, asked me to mail the defective one back using the prepaid label. I received it within a week and a half. I live in Hawaii, so, that's actually quite impressive. My skin is happy again and all is right in my world. Thank you Clarisonic Customer Support Team. You Rock!
