I took my bottle back of the fridge and started using this again last night. I haven't realized that you can use this for the eye area, major bonus if it helps me there. Smile I was trying to get preggos but the doctors told me my eggs got too old but you can sure as heck bet my face won't! Laughing

I may need a new squirter for it but will try Nanci's tip first, thanks Nanci for posting that.

I wonder if most people who've reported good results have dry/dehydrated skin. (I know sis doesn't). I wonder if that is why you're all getting such great results.

I have normally oily skin (but it's been behaving much better lately with the addition of a Clairsonic), and the DNA Serum just doesn't absorb into my skin at all. It just sits there looking shiney and greasy all day. I can't say I like this for me at all. But, it does do well for the undereye area, so it will come in handy for there.

I don't have dry skin, I have the t zone that can get oily, but in the last couple of years after a six month venture with cps my under eye area was left less hydrated. I use the serum lightly on most of my face except under the eyes. Also I am not adding any moisturizer on top.

foxe - you're right - oily skin all the way for me. I use two pumps and use over face, neck, and especially eye area - then wipe the back of my hands on my face to get excess. I don't seem to have absorption problems but my skin seems to have normalized somewhat over the past few months with the new regime and it sinks right in.
FYI: I just put copper peptides back into skin rotation - at night - first step Ageless Diamond, then GHK serum followed by DNA. Sometimes I put Potenshaa oil over the whole thing.

sis - I use Retin A Micro at night after I've applied the CPs and I'm afraid to use anything on top of the RAM (usually putting it on just before I hit the sack), so I end up usually just applying the DNA Serum in the AM and it's way too shiney for an AM app- I just hate the look. I'm just not sure how to fit it in my routine at all (sigh). Your routine sounds just about right (if I wasn't using RAM).

I have put the DNA Serum on the back of my hands and it seems to have lightened up some age spots there, so I like using it there. I don't have any spots on my face to worry about, though.

One good thing that I haven't seen is an issue with clogged pores or blackheads with the DNA Serum. (phew!) Seeing that my face is so shiney, I was worrying that it would lead to problems, but it doesn't seem to be. OR - maybe the Clairsonic is doing a really good job for me Wink

Toby - I've never had much of a need to moisturize, and surely wouldn't after the DNA Serum. It does seem to do some of that on it's own.

Just thought I post my experience with this serum. I have used it for about 5 weeks now and I am absolutely in love with it. Esp my eye area hasn't looked so good for ages and I have tried I think everything on the market. I had dark circles, extreme puffiness and this is almost completely gone.Sometimes I don't even need the Easy Eye solution anymore. I have done facial exercises for years but nothing really helped.
The wrinkles between upper cheek and lower lid are filling out too.
So, thank you, Nancy for this wonderful serum, I am extremely pleased and thank you, Toby, for recommending it.
Very Happy

I so agree with you. I still need me Easy Eye Solutions but the bags are dramaticly lessened. I also like that it works so well with the eye tuck.

Sounds like this serum packs quite a punch when it comes to hydration. I am very interested in purchasing this serum but just haven't gotten around to it. Are there any discount codes available at the moment?

I don't think there's any discount but she's has 10% off on some other items. I like the DNA simply because of the science behind it, the Hydration and because I trust Nanci knows her stuff. She makes skin care easy Smile. A little goes a long way..2-3 drops for the face and the same for the neck and chest.

I still love this. I've been using it for several weeks, nothing compares to the hydration like other people have said. I have dehydrated skin, this makes it look dewy, not oily.

augusta - Nanci is very supportive and she puts on her site what she personally believes in - that's a real plus for purchasing from her.

I've been using this product for over a month now and definitely love, love the finish it gives to my skin. Definitely not oily, very dewey. I wonder if it's the sea buckthorn oil that makes the difference? I noticed that oils are becoming very popular in skincare now, and not just for those with dry skin. As posted, one of our members, Sis (who states she has oily skin) also loves this product. I consider my skin to be on the dry side, so it appears to work for all skin types. I consider this product a great addition to my skincare routine and will definitely repurchase. I use the Ageless Secret as my foundation product, and then the DNA serum on top, then apply my makeup and I'm good to go!! ~ Aprile Smile

I received my DNA Serum today. I applied it and it left my face feeling sticky and tacky. I checked the posts and foxe has a similar problem. It does not seem to absorb into my skin. I am used to serums sinking right in and my skin feeling smooth afterwards. It's over a half hour later and my skin still feels the same way. My skin is normal. I used one pump for my entire face and neck. Maybe I used too much. Any advice?

Nanci mentioned in her blog that she's testing a new DNA serum for oily skin. That's great news for me. I'd love to use it during the day but this version is too moisturizing for me. Makeup slides off. I also noticed that there's a new co accelerator for oily skin too. Too much stuff too little face.

I've been trying a sample of the DNA Serum for oily skin since I found the original one too oily for me and not sinking in - leaving my face feeling sticky and tacky like packratmack said.

The color and texture of the new serum is the same as the original. It *seems* to sink in a little better than the original to me, but (alas) it still leaves my face feeling somewhat oily and shiney.

The funny thing is that both serums sink right into my hands - but my face is a different matter. I do like these serums under my eyes for additional hydration there, so that will be the spot to apply it most of the time. I will use the serum before exercise when I can wash it off after a few hours. I'm hoping I can get some of the benefits of it by doing that.

That said, the new serum for oily skin is a nice one and does not feel as heavy as the original.

I haven't read Nanci's blog lately. I should look into the CP accelerator for oily skin. I couldn't use the first one at all.
