Until February 11th, 2010 the M Lab Body Cream is on sale for $85 instead of $185 on the actual M Lab website. I caved since it's more than 50% off!


Thanks very much for the tip. If we all keep a lookout for the specials, we may be able to keep topping up at reduced prices.

I'm looking forward to giving this a go. Ordered the travel/starter/trial kit from TSC yesterday...hoping I don't love it, since it's a bit harder for me in Canada to take advantage of those discounts you guys are talking about many times....

Since I posted my first review, I've used the products religiously. At first, I was buying the travel kits, which are frequently offered at a discount.

Although the cleanser and toner are very nice, I ultimately decided I can live without them. I use the Anti Aging Treatment serum followed by the Anti Aging Day Treatment spf15 every morning. I still use Retin A at night.

The stuff is ridiculously expensive, even given the incredible number of active ingredients. But, every now and then, someone - either MLab themselves or one of the skincare vendors that carry it - offers a 50% off sale and I grab a bottle of each. It lasts a VERY long time and is more than worth, especially since I've been able to forego botox and resty since I've been using it.

I don't use the eye cream. I found it to be unremarkable and it was just too rich for my eye area. It gave me milia. So, for my eye products, I use Zelens in the am and Go Bare Skincare Reviteyes at night.

I'm definitely sticking with this routine forever!

Hi Belinda,

I was wondering you say you forego the botox and resty whilst using the m lab products. Is that because they were effective? I have been using them for a few weeks but I am not that impressed at the moment. Do i need to give them a little longer? would be interested in your comments?

Hi there zizi....

I haven't needed botox or resty since I've been using the MLab products. HOORAY !

But, there isn't any reason that botox or resty is contraindicated by the products themselves.

Although everyone's skin is different, my experience is that it really is necessary to give a product 4 to 6 weeks before you begin to see results. The only exception is when I've found the product so objectionable that I can't make it that long.

Thanks for the update, Belinda. Do you use any of the MLab products after your Retin A? And, do you feel that any cleanser and/or toner can be used with the MLab products and they will still be effective?

Mithai, your signature says you're living in HK? M Labs is sold in Joyce Beauty I think

When I bumped up my Retin A, I found it a little irritating (and I can't stand the peelies), so I took the small jar of the M Lab night stuff that comes in the travel kit and mixed it with a tube of Retin A. Total perfection! The Retin A does its thing without the dreaded peelies. Although I can FEEL the effect of the Retin A the next morning (i.e. my skin is more sensitive) - especially after 3 or 4 days - there isn't any visible irritation.

I don't use a toner.

As for my cleanser, I use one of Neutrogena's oil free salicylic acid cleansers with my Clarisonic in the am and a self mixed cleansing oil at night (at least on days that I wear makeup).

Now, even when I use a magnifying mirror to do my eyebrows, my skin is almost poreless! HOORAY! NEVER thought I'd say that.

wave Well not to be too off topic, I'm actually based in KL. It's just so boring here I run off to HK every other week or 2! Laughing Laughing
I haven't done a price comparison myself, but I'm sure you're right about the mark up. Please let me know if you find out anything about international shipping from those companies, I'd like to take advantage of those sales as well! Very Happy Thanks!

Yes, of all the English speaking cities in Asia, HK ROCKS!

Sorry, not mithai, but I got an email directly from MLab for that promotion, Hermosa. I think it is only on their own website.

I can't see it valued at $200. It's only enough for a week. 3ml of cream isn't much.

I must be really dim because I went to their website, added a product, walked through the ordering process, and never saw a chance to add any extras for free, certainly not a sampler kit (which would be great to try).

Dont know about the $200...thats what the promotion stated and i assumed they must have done their calculation! Rolling Eyes

Did anyone get the email for the free eye cream (I think it was a sample) with the purchase of product? It ended, but the email talked about the results of the eye cream in 1 week. I pulled out my 2 samples that I have of the MLab eye cream and will be trying that for a week to see if I get those major results they talked about!
