| I may have to stop asking EDS for samples of Valmont. This is ridiculous-throws into question my life-long belief that expensive creams are nivea in disguise. I tried this cream over my IS poly-vitamin (I really love this stuff!!) and my looks plumped & smooth this morning. O.K. I know I'm not getting major changes if this works that fast, but who cares??? At my age I don't have time to wait for changes. Anyone else got a sample of this? It's interesting that it's cheaper than the factor II. |

Marina, is that the factor II or III one? (or I?)
I so totally agree.. I absolutely LOVED the factor II one and my mum was in raptures about the factor III (I had samples of each).. but haev you seen the price? 
Last time I got samples of the factor I and III - one for mum and I will try the factor I even though I am really a II.
I am so in love with this cream, but just cannot afford it. |

What's wrong with me!!!  Somebody tells me what's wrong with me!!!
Some people only using a sample can see the improvement. I've been using Valmont DNA Repair Serum, Cyto III Cream and, and, and, ........., and THE L ELIXIR DES GLACIERS Eye Regenerating Cream for 2 months. But, but, but, ......., but I SEE NOTHING!!!

| dont worry, MAC, when I say I loved it, I meant the feel, how the skin felt next day, etc. Obvsiouly cant say we loved it for its lifting/wrinkle abilities though. our skin felt good and looked plump (from hydration I guess) |

I love the factor 11. My skin feels amazing the next day and is always a little plumped. I don't use it for the anti-aging benefits though, I use my serums for that! The Valmont is definitely my HG winter cream though, and I love it after a microderm or the GA peel!  |

maybe that is because it was already beautiful to begin with I am sure you have much nicer skin than you think.  |

What you don't know is what your skin would be looking like now if you had not used them. Of the ones you mentioned, I have only used the L Elixir Eye Cream and I just think it is the best eye cream I have ever used. Even at the price, I will continue to use it. But, I have been using it over Remergent Microcirculation and won't give up this product either. Is that why I am seeing such an improvement in the lines? |

Yes I tried the Factor III, I also have the factor II but saw a bigger diff with III-I mean it makes you're skin look nice & plump & smooth the next morning but I can't vouch for what it does long-term esp.since it seems like a more luxurious-feeling IS firming cream. Plus, I don't like that Valmont dosen't list ingredients. I want to know what I'm getting ripped off over!!  There is something exfoliating in there, since poly-vit serum alone dosen't exfoliate. But it IS $$$$. If someone know what the ingredients are, out of curiosity, please post so we can rip them apart. One note about the $$$..if I knew what the ingredients were, and the cream could replace other products...well that would be a different story.
Forgot to add, factor III is cheaper than factor II..o.k. not by much  |

| marina I have a sample of one of these but I am away from home and am not sure which factor it is. I am almost certain that my sample has the ingredients listed on the box. It seems odd that yours would not have the ingredients listed as all the Valmont samples that I have received do have the ingredients listed. If someone else hasn't done it by then, I will post the ingredients in a few days! |

ladies, Valmont list all the ingredients on the INSIDE of the box that your sample tube comes in. 
I just opened the sample box I have for mum and the printing is SO miniscule and ingredients list SO long that I am not going to even TRY to read and type it here.. but I was surprized to see Laureth-7 as an ingredient in the Factor III !!! |

| O.k. I went throught my garbage & found the box....now I need a magnifying glass...however I'm making out glycerin & petrolatum on the first line with hydrolized RNA on the second line..DNA, wild yam (hence the claim for menopausal skin). The rest I can't read. Maybe I'll try to scan it & enlarge. So far, the ingredients seem similar to Jan Marini's Age Intervention face thing which, by the way, I haven't tried.. |
