Well I'm sooo impressed with Ice Elements, I couldn't wait to write a short review of my progress so far with this skincare line...I will keep it short since I just started to use it, but man I'm lovin' this line so far! I will update this thread later on with my further progress since my sensitive skin can turn on me after I think I've found something I love. 
First off, customer service over at the ice elements website is outstanding (almost as great as EDS)! Shelly practically bent over backwards to get the right products for my skintype since I told her how sensitive my skin was. She recommended the normal/dry skincare range for me to try, but told me not to use the toner that came with the pack, I guess it wouldn't be suitable for sensitive skin, instead she said she could throw something else in there for me to try instead. So I ordered normal/dry sample pack, and 2 samples of the 2mm gel. It took about 2 weeks to get to Canada, but like everything else it probably sat at customs for a week...and its also that busy time of year for shipping, so I wasn't too worried about the length of time it took to get here!
I was hesitant to use this at first because everything freaks out my skin and I didn't want freaked out skin for Xmas! Well my skin was looking like crap anyhow with hormones and stuff, so I bit the bullet and thought I'd see how the 2mm exfoliating gel would be and I was very surprised with the results! It was so gentle to use and made my skin super soft! My moisturiser glided on so smoothly and all my flakies were gone...I instantly fell in love! I like this alot better than any other exfoliater I've ever tried! Its so gentle to use for sensitive skin and I'll definately be repurchasing this when my samples start running low!
After a few more days I got a bit braver and thought what the heck, I'll try the other samples! So before bed I used the creme cleanser, and this also blew me away! After cleansing my skin was so soft and hydrated, I didn't even feel I needed a moisturiser afterwards. Then I tried the moisturiser itself...this one I was leary about since it has a very nice scent to it, lavender I think since the ingredients do say lavender oil and I am highly allergic to any fragrances in skincare! Well I put it on, and guess what? No burning, no irritation, nothing! It was light, yet very moisturizing! In the morning my skin was still soft as a baby's butt and the pillow wrinkles I usually get whilst sleeping were very miminal, not as pronounced as they usually are. I've been using this for a week now and my skin hasn't freaked out yet (cross my fingers and toes)! There was also a .5 ounce sample of the anti-aging serum, but I haven't tried this one yet, but it does have a nice gel like consistency to it, almost like a HA serum, and it didn't seem sticky when I applied it to my hand, I will report back on this one later on.
Well, I guess that wasn't a very short review afterall  I'm not a great reviewer like some of the ladies on the board, but I thought I'd share my progress so far with Ice Elements! I just might have found my HG skincare routine, and it makes me so excited, I just couldn't keep it too myself any longer!  |
