Me too! I ordered proheal, active and hydracool. I ordered samples from ebay, 4 each. the seller said each sample would last 1-2 weeks depending upon usage- (does that sound about right?) Anyway, I figure that gives me about a month to see if I like it or not.

You might not want to add the firming complex if your skins that sensitive to the active, most on here that I've read with very sensitive skin from the active CANNOT add the firming, they instead alternate, one nite active one nite firming. Since both the active and the firming are very "active" I would choose one or the other if were you. Maybe the other ladies who know better than me can chime in. I can use the firming over the active but I am def not sensitive to the active at all. |
Rose, I agree with MelissaMarie on this one. If your skin is sensitive to the Active Serum you would only be making things worse by applying the Active and the Firming Complex together. If you want to try the Firming Complex, I would suggest alternating it with the Active Serum not using it with the Active Serum. Or you may need to switch from the Active to the Firming Complex if find you cannot tolerate the Active at all. You may want to try adding a regular moisturizer with no actives over the Active Serum to see if that helps. |

oh ladies, I'm so excited & curious. reading Kate I ordered the whole bunch (active and super and proheal and eye complex . . .) and now I'm waiting for my package, it's a long time to reach the middle of Europe . . . I'm a bit worried how my skin will react to putting on so many things at once, plus I never really tried vit.c before. I cannot await ! so please keep posting your experiences. |
lin23 it seems like most people use either the Super Serum or the Proheal Serum. Do you plan on alternating the Super and Proheal serums? Or are you going to use one and then use the other to compare and see which one you prefer? |

water in a spritzy can for lack of a better word, like Avene, Evian, Vichy, etc. i've started doing that anyway as the water in paris disagrees with my face. i used to let it dry, now tend to keep my face a little damp before applying ISC. i guess it allows me to dilute it a little, and makes the application perfect for my needs. |

The IS rep said that I could alternate Super and Proheal to see which I liked better and that would be okay. |

TheresaL, I plan to alternate. I'm a bit afraid to put too many different things on my face, sofar my skin haven't reacted too good to that. BTW, I received my package yesterday and started the procedure immedietely, of course. So far, no negative reaction, but I just applied them last night and today in the morning. |

THeresaL,
Thank you so much for your input. I have not checked the forum for some time and did not see your post until now. In the last few days, I did try using active serum and firming cream combo 4 days ago and found that my skin can tolerate it. I did not even see the dryness from the active serum alone. When I used active serum alone, my skin was dry and looks patchy. I am so pleased with the results. I did not dare to use the combo again the nest day, so I waited for one day and did the combo again 2 days ago. It was still good, so I did it again last night. I am going to use the combo again to see how my skin will take it. I have not seen dramatic results as the other members, but I am patient. As long as my skin can take it, I will use it. |

Rose thanks for your reply. This is very interesting. Common sense (which is not always right ) would seem to indicate that adding the Firming Complex would make things worse since it is adding even more active ingredients to your skin. Maybe the moisturizing ingredients in the Firming Complex are helping your skin. I wonder if your skin just needed more moisturizer all along?
Rose could you please post an undate on this in a week or two? I am really interested in seeing how this works for you. |

I am interested in the results too. I have oily skin so active serum is likely a product to try but I also need something that help in the firming department. |
