I purchased a whole bunch of products from eds - this was one of them. I have been using it for over 2 weeks morning and night - and have to say that this has become my HG.
I can't really say that about alot of products - because i tend to switch from one product to the other because i get bored very easily.
I had been meaning to purchase this for the last 2 years but never got round to it until now. It makes my skin glow and look clear and bright. I use it after cleansing and apply to face and neck and back of my hands.
On the site - it says that it is meant to 'gently breaks down the glue that keeps dead cells imprisoned on the surface of the skin. Uncovers smoother, softer skin with diminished visible lines. Helps unclog pores. Skin will look amazingly revitalized and fresh in just one day' - and i must admit it certainly delivered. 
I also ordered the psf pumpkin mask and vit c and some other bioelements cleansers - which i have not had the time to use yet.
All in all- i am more than happy with the Refiner - even if you all ask for a sample from eds - and try it - i am sure you will all be happy with it.
The reason for my reviewing this product is because - i have noticed that there are not alot of reviews about Bioelements. And because i am so happy with the results - i want to share my 'good' experiences with you.
I was using Vit C up until now - and i found that maybe i should try a different brand because my current brand was not delivering that 'glow' factor - and whilst placing an order for Vit C - i thought 'why not try the other brands that i have been meaning to try'.
Regards

Like you, I have had this on my list to buy for ages now but have not yet got around to it. There have been other good reviews of it here (I think) and they've tempted me but somehow didn't push me over the edge It's now still on my list but it's not going to happen until I finish my MDF Night Recovery first.
But, I'd like to use this opportunity to plug the Bioelements decongestant cleanser which is really good. The reviews of the pumice peel are also fab but I have not tried it yet. |

When i ordered the refiner i had an option of getting the Bioelements decongestant cleanser free - although it was only a 50ml size - it will give me a chance to sample it and then decide if i want to place an order next time.

| I believe the refiner was used in my facial a month ago- bioelements is a great line and I was at first weary about using "super charged chemically powered face products" from then and then I did some research on EDS and saw they are soooo not like that So, for this organic and cruelty-free girl I also give my support for this and encourage others to experiment with other bioelements face products. They work wonders. |

I am so happy with my refiner that i haven't even touched the other products that i ordered..........ucts
PSF Pumpkin Enzyme Peel
Cellular Skin Rx C + Firming Serum
PSF Emergen-C Repair Serum (12% Vitamin C), Bioelements Spotless Cleanser
Free Gift - Bioelements Decongestant Cleanser
Dr Hauschka Cosmetic Sponge
Dr Hauschka Rejuvenating Mask
Jurlique Lip Care Balm
One because i want to see the individual effects of each one for 1-2 months..........and see which one's make some difference.......rather than use them all in one go and not be sure which one made any difference...........
I'll wait another 4 weeks and then go onto another product.

| I just got this and was curious if you mix it with your moisturizer like it says you can, or do you use it before your other products? |

I don't think it will have the effect if you mix it with other moisturisers or anything like that.........just apply it first and then a few minutes later the moisturiser.

Karina-I started the Bioelements quick refiner 17 days ago. Except I've been using it only at night. During the day I apply Juice Beauty blemish clearing serum to use it up.
Quick refiner is a good product. My skin looks brighter and I'm starting to add a couple shakes of L-ascorbic acid powder to it too. The smell reminds me of mouldy oranges though.  I always slowly pump since one full pump gives me way too much product. So I use the excess on my shoulders, decollete, and even knees! Can't wait to try applying 2X daily. |

I wouldn't worry about it. This product, from the ingredients listed, is highly exfoliating and more than likely brought up and out all of the impurities hiding in your skin. I think if you stuck with it for a couple of weeks you would clear up. That said, I haven't tried this myself although the combination of ingredients and price do intrigue me! |

| Does anyone know the percentages of the acids in this. I can't find this information anywhere. I used it for the 1st time last night, so way too early to tell anything, but this morning I used my pumice peel and I swear 1 of my darker freckles was lighter. I am defintiely going to use the whole bottle of this stuff and it should last a very long time! |

I only use half a pump of the refiner - i use it in the mornings below my moisturiser and at night i use the ylang ylang balm from Decleor.

I must admit that i have refrained to use the refiner with other products - i wanted to see the outcome if used on it's own - and i love this product very much - it's my HG exfoliator at this moment in time -  |

Still liking it. I grew impatient and started applying the refiner 2X daily. Took a break using only Juice Beauty Blemish serum for 3 days then went back to Bioelements refiner. My skin looks pretty good although a few blemish discolourations are still fading slowly.
Wish I had discipline to use only one product at a time for a good fair review. Recently caved and ordered my first IS Clinical product. Can't wait! |
