I like the idea above from ShastaGirl, but am in complete agreement with Firefox regarding the refer-a-friend problems.
Since those of us who need to order via a mail-forwarding service are hit with a substantial additional cost, I'd prefer to order perhaps a couple of sets at a time (saving mail-forwarding fees) but simply wouldn't be able to afford to do that at present.
A discount of 20%, such as I have here on EDS, would certainly be enticing. I agree with erg that 5% would be a drop in the ocean and probably not worth bothering with. |

I wanted to calculate what this looks like on a maintenance basis (e.g. cost per week, month) and want to update our estimates of usage patterns.
Could anybody who has been using for more than a week or two do the hold up to light thing and make a rough estimate (%) of how much they have used of serum (& accelerator), and how many days they have been using? TIA!! |

| I would like to see each product in 4oz sizes at the current price. Right now it's costly and I feel like I have to be selective as to where I smear it on. |

My old bottle of the serum after 1 month of use, I would guesstimate I had used 3/4 of the product.
The Accelerator looks like I have used maybe 1/4 of the container (after 4+ weeks with 1-2 pumps twice a day). |

Do you think that is because the serum is less "spreadable" than the more moisturizing Accelerator, aside from the size difference? |

You are an outlier! (that means on a normal curve, you are in the little tail part). The curve right now is that 90% fall between 6 weeks and 12.5 weeks. Average is about 8.5. Will adjust with more feedback. |

LOL. I had to look that up. I am "distant from the rest". SO, the average so far is 8.5 weeks for the products to last?
DM, I am not sure why the serum went so quickly, but it may have had something to do with me needing to pump it out upside down. Not sure if more came out than would normally or not. |

Hi all, As per EDS forum guidelines, an e-blast would be best. Thank you. |

Are you measuring the old bottle? That would definitely affect. Didn't you get a replacement? |

Started on April 9-a little over 5 weeks
Measuring from the top of the product in the bottle not the bottle itself.
Serum- started with 3 inches have 1 1/4 inches left
Accelerator- started with 4 inches have 2 1/2 inches left. |

I did report here for my old serum bottle, Dr. J. So, that could be throwing things off. Yes, I did get my replacement and said what great customer service you have somewhere on the thread! I can't measure the new bottle yet, as I haven't used it long enough.
The Accelerator is my original bottle and that seems to be lasting a long time, which I am happy about as that is still my favorite of the 2.
ETA: The new bottle of the serum does work correctly and there was a definite difference in the consistency of the product from my original bottle to my new bottle. |

Riley, how many inches of product is there in your new bottle of serum? I was wondering what the beginning measurement is so I can figure out how much I have used so far. TIA |

Just for comparison's sake, I started on May 4th (right about 2 weeks ago), and use on my face, neck, and chest (probably 4 pumps of each 2x day).
Serum - 1 1/2 inches left
Accelerator - 2 1/2 inches left
I still want to treat all areas, so I am cutting back to once a day, and adding in other products at the opposite end of the day. |

You are going to be right in the middle of the curve. Around 8-9 weeks serum, 12 weeks accel. |

If its e-blasted, can one of us then post the prices or is that not allowed? |

Looks like about 3 inches to me, jom. I think I have used it for 1 week, but I can't remember when I posted that I got my new bottle! |

Just for reference I don't use either product on my neck or chest. I get zits on my neck if I put anything on it. I know who gets zits on their neck, but I still have a color spot that has been there since before Christmas. They take forever to go away. I do use 2 pumps of serum and 1 to 2 pumps of accelerator twice a day. |

Sorry Bethany, I know you don't get rid of the old ones before you have new spot cropping up. |

In the category: AO-And Other: For all us from countries where Cellese is not being shipped to, someone mentioned a service MyUS (you can google on it), i searched for experiences with this service in my country (Belgium) and it seems to be a good solution. The just make it possible to order through websites you normally coudn't order from.
Does anyone has experience with this service yet? |

Because all the regulatory things we have to go through takes so long, we would be quite supportive of this. In fact we think we would support short term by compensating for the "personal shopper fee" (10%) and the one time setup fee ($10). Anybody who want to do that PM me and I will make sure CS is set up for you to do it. |

| Hi Miss Wisteria - I have not tried MyUS, but have had approximately 10 parcels shipped (to Canada) via thewww.Shipito.com company and can vouch for them. Everything arrived in top condition and left their warehouse in a timely manner. |

I have also used Shipito around 7 times already with good results and it's the service I'm using for the Cellese order I'm currently awaiting. I'm from the UK. |
