maybe i should try the sample pack! Cool

The sample pack doesn't really give you enough to see a difference on your skin, but it's a good way to see if the products would be suitable for your skintype.

I have a full size ADCE but have not really use it consistently. After reading this thread, I would like to incorporate it in my daily regime. So, my concern is, can I use it on top of other Vitamin C products that i am currently using, for once a day?

Hi skinmelon, this should be OK. I use Cellular Skin RX-firming serum right after cleansing/toning. Once that sinks in, then I apply the skinprep and ADCE.

Absolutely Smile

I use Mineral Prep, C&C and then AlphaDermaCE. I suggest that you wait about 2-5 minutes after you apply C to put on AlphaDermaCE. I find waiting a few minutes between products makes a big difference.

Thanks for your input. I see some improvements on the fine lines on my forehead after using ADCE consistently for a few days. I will keep it up for the result. I would like to improve the firmless around eye area. what are the products from this range?

I was going to try this line, but then started reading other threads about the potential risks of using DMAE. Anybody else concerned with the DMAE in ADCE?

Thanks Athena123, it's great to read another perspective!

I'm 44 and my skin type is very oily. Alphaderma CE works like a champ for me. I also use the Skin Prep, but I would really say it's the ADCE that's doing all the work because I didn't start using the Skin Prep until much later. While I don't have deep wrinkles, the few fine lines that I did have [forehead, eyes, lips] have either greatly diminished or disappeared and my face is very smooth. I like everything about this stuff, including the texture. You don't use a lot, so it does last a pretty long time.

I've also tried several other products in the Janson-Beckett line. The Organic Skin toner & Vitamin C&C aren't strong enough for my oily skin [went back to MD Forte & Skinceuticals], and I honestly haven't noticed any benefits from the Okusil.

My sister has dry skin, and was having trouble with a continual rash. She'd had it for years and I think she just was using something on her face she was allergic to [like cheap products!!] but didn't realize it, to be honest. She started using the JB regimen of Skin Prep, ADCE, and Vitamin C&C, and her face cleared up within the first week. Both of us were pretty amazed at that, and she's really, really happy with her skin now.

Hi existentialady, just noticed your post. Well I am always trialling and searching! I have had some luck with Clarins extra firming serum, an unheard of product from MG Labs (I think I will review that soon!), and believe it or not Avon ultimate eye cream all over my face. I also find Lancome older range ok.
At the moment I have just bought a big swag of Gatineau products - so far so good, but too soon to really comment.
I will probably get around to giving the JB another try at some time.

I still am using it after 3 years. Wink

Winnie, since this product has worked so great for you can you tell me your skin type. I want to try this product but I have dry skin! Thanks

I have been using JB products for over 4 years and absolutely love the ADCE & the Mineral Prep. I faithfully use it every morning and evening. I have virtually no wrinkles, even skin tone and a pretty youthful glow to my skin. This was not always the case, ADCE really improved my complexion over time. I have also tried their organic cleanser & toner and found it so-so not really impressive, the okusil & dermaexcel 7 were nice but did not produce significant enough results to justify the $$. But, again the Mineral Prep & ADCE are outstanding and far superior to any other product I have tried (and I have tried TONS!. Definitely worth the $$.

Starlight, In the winter my skin is combo with some dry patches. During the summer combo with oily T zone. Winter time I sometimes use a moisturizer over AlphaDerma. Janson Beckett has a moisturizer that works very well with its line. You could use a moisturizer of your choice if need be (I have used Emu Oil..Dremu). I would never consider AlphaDerma drying but some require added moisture. HTH's

I used Alphaderma CE and Skin Prep 2 years ago and used up 2 bottle, but frankly, it didn't really improve my skin, quite disappointed.

Me too, I have been using the skin prep + CE for more than a month, they are not bad but no dramatic result noted. Wondering did I use them in a correct way?

I use the skin prep at evening + ce on top and use C+C in the morning before sunscreen (I tried to use skin prep + ce in AM, but they did not sink in well and form residual after applying sunscreen on top.

Ladies over there, any advices?

Thanks,

free skin care · Mon Mar 17, 2008 8:08 am

happycat, I didn't really notice a difference in firmness or reduction of forehead and necklines until I'd been using for a few months.

I been using Janson Beckett line going on four years. From time to time I have mixed things up and found some nice products to give me a change but JB products are my HG's.

Here is what I do:

I exfoliate my skin once a week in order to get the best product absorption. I personally use Lactic Acid for my mature skin. You need to find an exfoliant suited for you. I use one half pump of skin prep on my damp face, C&C or C Serum of choice. Once totally absorbed 1/2 to 3/4 pump AlphaDerma for my face and neck. For a sunscreen I have been using Janson Becketts for several months and absolutely love it. It feels like a light moisturizer.

I absolutely noticed a big change in my skins elasticity when I started using AlphaDerma. When first starting I believe that ADCE and Prep should be used twice a day for best results.
