Dark Moon....thank you so much for cheering me up. It worked and I appreciate the little pep talk. You're wonderful and I feel okay about my order 
Tiny.....from what TIA told me in the email, they have an agreement with the ReLuma people that only TIA will continue to get the original formula and no one else. That's what TIA ordered but unfortunately ReLuma sent TIA the new version moisturizer by mistake. Because I don't want to wait until TIA gets the older formula moisturizer (they don't know when that will be) I told them to send me what they have because I'm chomping at the bit waiting to try ReLuma. So, you will have the older formula when you're ready to order. |
Thanks for the update! I really just started the second serum, so I do have a few months, but then again I am curious on the updated cream. I know tons love the older, but its all I do know, so I can't compare. I am excited for you! |

| Thank you, Tiny. All I know is that a lot of people love the original version which I why I wanted it. Anyhow, I'll let you know how the newer one is when I start my ReLuma. |

Do you ladies have the ReLuma original formula moisturizer or the newer version? I did order the original, but TIA just sent me an email today saying they were out of stock and did not know when they would be receiving the original formula. So, to complete my order and have it sent out today they are sending me the newer, reformulated ReLuma moisturizer.
Long story short, does anyone know if the newer ReLuma is as good as the original version? Everyone raves about the original, so I'm kind of bummed  |
I have spoken with TIA since the date of your post and was told they ONLY have the original version of moisturizer available...in the trio and sold alone.  |

| Initial report. I like the Reluma serum. It does sink in right away. It reminds me a lot of the original TNS serum. I am iffy on the cleanser. It has left my skin feeling tight and dry the 2 times I have used it now. The Reluma moisturizer does not feel moisturizing enough on my skin, but I will give it time and see. I have had no irritation, burning, stinging, etc and it does not seem to irritate my eczema, so I am pleased with that. I have to say though that I actually prefer the feel, texture, and smell of the AnteAGE to the Reluma so far (talking moisturizer here, as serums pretty much all feel the same to me!). ETA: I have also started the AnteAge serum/moisturizer on my neck and chest as that area is looking bad on me. I will at least be able to compare these 2 lines on my own skin and see if there is any difference in results. |

I agree the cream is more a serum cream, its not a thick cream, when I first used it I kept thinking it was not enough, so I'd go back to bathroom to add something but by then my face was soft dewy, more was not needed. But I do get what your saying (I think I've posted this).
The cleanser I am amazed it is drying on you, I find it the opposite. I could care less on cleansers but do love this one. But thats what makes us all different.
I do hope you end up liking it, I hate for anyone to spend money and not like things  but I know it does happen all the time. God knows I spent a fortune on stuff. Let us know on the test. I know someone is using AQ too, I wish she'd chime in and update her take on their product as well. |

Hello rileygirl....thank you for the initial report. I'm glad you like the serum. I'm not a serum person as I find many of them to be tacky/drying. I like that it feels good and sinks right in. It will be interesting to see how you progress with the moisturizer. I'm also glad you had no stinging or burning. With the Lifeline serum I had burning a couple of hours after putting it on, plus super dryness.
I will be looking forward to your updates. |

LOL. Yes, I am not really a serum person either and I also find serums drying. I need a moisturizer on top of most of them. The Reluma does not leave a tacky feel on my skin. Well, maybe for a few seconds only, but then my skin does feel smooth and not dry feeling. |

Tiny, I definitely get what you mean about the moisturizer not feeling like enough, but when you look in the mirror, you don't need more. This is my initial experience, as well.
I was very hesitant to write what I did about the cleanser, as I know all of you love it and I felt bad that I did not love it too! But, since my skin has turned dry, I have a very hard time with cleansers, especially anything remotely foaming (they all seem to dry me out more).
I would also love to hear from whoever is using the AQ. I saw that Marta had a new "lip line duo" featuring the AQ and YBF Define. I was going back and forth on getting the AQ or the Reluma. I chose the Reluma (specifically the 3 products) because the sale price was great! |

LOL I actually have to say I am glad you don't like the cleanser, I personally think were all crazy we do, I've NEVER liked one before, but I do this one!! well I guess I should say, I never cared one way or the other!
So glad someone else gets the feeling of needing more cream, but you don't!
LeeLee I too found the serum at first slightly tacky for 5 secs only then nothing. I don't find it that way anymore. |

Ok. I just finished my face for the night. I paid very close attention to everything. Interestingly, the cleanser only leaves the bottom part of my face (talking lower cheeks on either side of mouth and chin area) tight and dry. The rest of my face felt fine! LOL. How odd is that?
Anyway, also the Reluma serum really leaves my skin feeling smooth to the touch. The AnteAGE serum on my neck is still tacky feeling. I did not apply either moisturizer yet, as I wanted to get a feel of just the serums alone. So between these 2 lines, I definitely prefer the Reluma serum. Will apply the moisturizers in a bit and compare them, but I think my initial thought of the AA winning in the moisturizer department will still be the case, but I will report if there is a change in my feeling. |

Yes, me too.
Riley - It's also good to hear the opinion of a fellow eczema sufferer with dry skin. Whilst I really am loving my Ante Age, this is a line which also interests me and something I would be very keen to try if the AA stops working so well or starts causing problems. (Or perhaps even as a comparison.)
I know exactly what you mean about cleansers. My favourite is Karin Herzog's Professional Cleanser, used with a muslin or microfibre cloth. It's so comfortable to use, thoroughly cleanses and doesn't leave my skin feeling dry at all. Plus, you use only a small amount and a tube seems to last for ages. |

Rileygirl.....hope you're not feeling any pressure here but it seems many of us will be intently waiting for your updates.
I'm still away on vacation, however I know my ReLuma was shipped to my home on Friday. There was a delay of a week because TIA got the wrong moisturizer. I'm anxiously waiting to start.
Can you tell us which moisturizer you're using. Is it the original or reformulated one? |

I will definitely keep you all updated on the trial of these products! I am glad there is interest, as I think these type of products are the future of skin care.
Leelee, I am fairly certain I have the original moisturizer from Reluma. My ingredients list matches what the TIA site says. However, my serum ingredients don't match anything I have seen.
Here are the ingredients listed for my Reluma serum: Human adipose derived stem cell conditioned media, water, glycerin, polysorbate 20, cellulose gum, phenoxyethanol, sodium PCA, DL Panthenol, allantoin. |

Rileygirl....thank you for posting the ingredients for the serum. They're very nice and simple. Nothing extra added. I like that!
Below are the ingredients for the new, reformulated ReLuma moisturizer:
Human Adipose Derived Stem Cell Conditioned Media, DI Water, Glycerin, Cetearyl Olivate/Sorbitant Olivate, Jojoba Oil, Sorbitant Olivate, Caprilic/Capric triglycerides, Polysorbate-20, Shea Butter, Aloe barbabensis Leaf Juice, Alpha-Tocopheryl Acetate, Dimethicone, Squalane, Phenoxyethanol, Xanthan Gum, Arabidopsis thaliana extract/Lecithin Citrus Gradis Extract, Camellia Sinensis extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Pentapeptide-18/Caprylyl Glycol, Co-Enzymes Q-10, CL. Panthenol, Allantoin |

| Interesting, Leelee. They seem to have taken out the amino acids in the new moisturizer, and added a few peptides in (plus a few other things). I will definitely be interested in hearing how this feels on your skin! |

I noticed the same thing, Rileygirl. It was hard for me to decide whether or not to wait for TIA to receive their order for the original formula or have them ship the reformulated one which TIA received by mistake. Because TIA could not tell me when they would receive their order for the original one I decided to have them ship the newer version so I wouldn't have to wait too much longer for my order.
The ingredients do look interesting, but different from the original one which I am told by TIA is VERY POPULAR with their customers.
I hope it's as good as the older version!! |

They are all different formulations. |

Old version from the BOX which is from THE MAKER:
Human Adipose Derived Stem Cell Conditoned Media, Cetearyl Olivate, Soduium Olivate, Caprillic Capric Triglycerides, Vegatable Glycerin, Jojoba Oil, Jojoba Ester, Sodium Lactate, L-Arginine, L-Aspartic acid, Glycine, L-Alanine, L-Serine, L-Valine, L-Proline, L-Threonine; L-Leucine, L-Phenylamine, Silica, Vitamin E Tocopherol, Xanthan Gum, Hyaluronic Acid, Coenzyme Q-10, Methylisothiazolinone and Caprylyl Glycol, Water.
Ok my eyes are almost 50, used my cheaters, hope I got it right, I can not be held responsible if I missed one lmaooooooooooooooooo
I also saw a review from Marta saying she got better results by using BOTH, THE NEW AND THE OLD! She would like them to combine them. But from the looks of the ingredient change up on new, I think I want new |

There is nothing wrong with mixing and matching products. We are all searching for what suits us and what we like and more to the point what works on our skin for our needs.
I am glad I love all 3 products, very unusual for me, but it makes my life easier.
You are lucky that you have alternatives that you like. Hopefully the combination will give you fabulous results.
In regards to the moisturiser I agree it feels like it is not enough and yet somehow it is. I find it to be more of mousse type cream very light. If I remember correctly DM says the newer cream is thicker. |

Ethel I just checked looking for other things, she does have the new listed for sale! its more than the original btw, I think by $10.00. She also stated on her reviews shes likes the old and the new layered over each other, she saw even better results and would like them to combine the ingredients of each! She use to only sell the old version, which was only "still" being made for her site. |

Tiny, would you look at your box again, and see if between the jojoba ester and the sodium lactate, there is this ingredient listed on your box - Sodium L-Pyrrolidone Carboxylate. My box listed the same exact thing as on the TIA site (with the sodium l-pyr.. carb..).
The ingredients I listed a few posts above for the Reluma serum came directly from my box and I have noticed differing ingredient lists of the serum, as well! I wonder if there are several formulas circulating or if things just have not been updated. |

No not one listed, but mines the cream I am listing not the serum or is yours the cream too. I am going to contact re luma and ask. But want to make sure your talking cream. And is yours the old version cream or advanced. Sorry to be redundant but want to ask the right questions |
