I've tried quite a few of their masks, toners and two of their moisturisers. I think their masks are great!
If you have combination skin then the Rosehip toner and the Rosehip Whip moisturiser might be good choices. The Pumpkin and Orange mask would also be good but you need to be careful because it's pretty concentrated stuff. There have been a few reviews of various Eminence Organics products here so if you do a seach you should be able to find previous discussions. HTH |

Hi girls... I hhvae been using eminence mask for a while, and I am loving it. I also use their moisturizer. My skin is pretty dry now, so I use the sweet red rose whipped moisturizer. I also tried the sugar plum oil free, but it is not hydrating enough for me.
As far as toner and cleanser, I have never tried their products.
Amyb: you might wanna look at their website and see which products fit your skin. I think Mabsy's suggestion is correct for combo skin.
Also, if we you call their 1-800 number, they can tell you what spas carry their line in your area. Then, maybe you can sample a bunch of stuff before purchasing.
Aprilha: As far as I know, eminence pumpkin mask is different from psf pumpkin mask. I have tried both samples(psf and eminence). I do not get the same feeling when I apply them (separately). With psf, I feel this little tingling sensation, while eminence gives me this cooling/hydrating feeling. Also, according to their website, it is the 4th richest mask. |

I get a similar effect from the PSF and the Eminence pumpkin/pumpkin&orange masks but I think the EO one is still better in terms of radiance. Both have a tingling sensation but the Eminence one on me was pretty hard core! Mind you, this is before I knew to really dilute the products.
They've changed their manufacturer? I thought they were made by the parent company in Hungary? When did this change happen? |

Mabsy: Thats weird that I did not get the same sensation...
Anyways, yeah, they changed manufacturer. I posted a topic about this a long time ago asking if anybody knows about it. If you look at the product (if you bought it before mid 2005, i think), then you will see "made in hungary by ilcsi beautifying herbs". But the more recent products just say "made in hungary".
I eamiled someone from ilcsi.com; and they said that they dont manufacture for eminence anymore. But I really dont know if the new manufacturer is in Canada or not (the packaging stil says made in hungary).
I think ilcsi is selling their own products now, even here in the US. the products are similar to eminence; but it is a bit more expensive. |

Thanks for that. In the past the products looked to be identical to the Ilcsi ones so I am hoping that they didn't have to change their formulation because of that. I don't think I have bought anything from EO since mid-2005. I'll have to wait and see what the feedback is. |

Hi,
I just started using Eminence and I swear that it is clogging my pores causing little bumpies all over my forehead and cheeks. I am using the Mineral Cleanser, Thermal Spring moisturizer and from everything I've read about this line and these particular products is that I shouldn't be breaking out. I use very little product with a few drops of water emulsified in. Has anyone else had this problem with this product? |

Just thought I would spread some clarity here regarding Eminence Organics. First off they have and still are made in Hugary for over 50 years. The quality is exactly the same, yet their main distribution is in Vancouver. I live in this city and actually have meant the son of the owner as well as the main sales rep.
They are a very high quality company and the products are arguable as pure as Jurlique or Dr. Haushcka. The farm land in Hungary actually has some of the best agricultural soil quality in the world. I do a lot of product research and testing so I do know a little about this company.
I hope this brings a little clarity. It is also wise to go to a trained Esthetician to get products recommended or to try a few samplers(just in case you dont like the that particular product).

Even though it is still made in hungary, it is not made by ilcsi anymore, right? |

I would also like to spread some clarity here regarding Ilcsi and Eminence Organics.
Ilcsi Beautifying Herbs is made in Hungary for over 50 years. Eminence used to distribute Ilcsi until the summer of 2005. Eminence now developed its own range, which is very much based on Ilcsi, however the products do not work in the same way as with Ilcsi.
I guess you just have to compare the two.

| Now that I understand all of this....does anyone know what the difference is between the 2 formulations? Is one better or stronger than the other? I would assume that Ilike would be better since it is the original, but maybe someone has experienced both. I have samples coming of Ilike and can't wait to try them. |

After talking to a number of people and I've also compared one or two products, my vote is for Ilike - Ilcsi. More concentrated, only need little amount and it works, while Eminence doesn't have the x-factor.

Do you know where I can purchase Ilcsi products in the UK? I've checked out their website. It seems there aren't as many varieties with Ilcsi as Eminence. |

HI,
If you in the USA, try ILIKE by Szepelet.com
If they can't supply you than contact ILCSI.Co.UK
ILIKE is ILCSI in the USA, Ilcsi used to supply Eminence, but now Eminence (not ethical) making similar products as Ilcsi and if you want a diluted/ weak version than go for Eminence, but if you want the real stuff than go for Ilcsi.(The reason I know because I'm Hungarian and know them for a very long time)
Which product are you looking for? |

andi,
Thanks for your reply. I'm in Thailand, but I'm relocating to the UK soon. So, I'm just wondering where I can purchase Ilcsi in England. I'm mostly interested in their masks, but if you have any recommendations for other products, I'd really appreciate it. |

Thanks for such a quick reply andi! I've never tried any products from Ilcsi yet, but have tried Carrot Vitamin Masque from Eminence and liked it a lot. I heard the moisturizers are very thick and difficult to spread though. |

The eminence moisturisers?
I'm not suprised.(copycat)
The Ilcsi moisturisers are yummy and very easy to apply, you only need a tiny bit. |
