I decided to try this instead of my normal HA serum... I got it in today... 2 ounces for 10 dollars and you can't go wrong  ... I mix it with camellia oil morning and night... Just want to know if anyone has tried it and what you think of it...
By the way, has anyone tried and liked any of the other HA serums? I think they have autumn olive, white cranberry, red rooibos, and white peony tea.
You can find them at gardenofwisdom.com and click on the *GOW finished products* in the side bar. |

I've tried the cranberry and autumn olive and like both of them. You're right that Garden of Wisdom's pricing is excellent. They ship quickly too. Markey is awesome! I am actually thinking of asking her if she will mix up a batch of HA with imortelle hydrosol.
I mix my HA sera with emu oil for moisturization. During the summer when my skin was oilier, I sometimes used the HA by itself. It is really great for helping to get the emu oil to absorb quickly into my skin, and I really like the extra dose of antioxidants that I get using the cranberry (& autumn olive) HA sera versus plain HA serum.
How do you like the green tea serum? Keep us posted!

| I have the HA with the red roobios, I love it. GOW products are awesome. I love love love their alcohol free version of mandelic serum. It is the only mandelic I can use. The vivant made me way too dry. |

What are the benefits of the imortelle? I'm not too knowledgeable about all these different, um, antioxidants??...  |

The immortelle hydrosol "helps to heal scar tissue and works well in a synergystic modality with Pure Essential Oils
and other hydrosols. It is good for sensitive,
mature, or congested skin." I've also read that it can help heal bruises (hematomas). Especially as the weather gets colder and drier, I am keen to try things that "soothe" and "heal" my skin. (And I'm open to other suggestions!) |

Thank you, Priscilla. 
Amy - I love the mandelic acid, too. I bought a sample and have been using it on my nose for a week, morning and night. The pores on my nose are visibly smaller, and I'm amazed because nothing has helped before and I've tried multiple TCA peels, AHAs and BHA in high percentages, and I use retin-a .05% every night. The mandelic has given GREAT results in one week! Before I ordered I emailed Markey and asked if the MA serum would be as effective as others since it had all the extra ingredients. She told me that it wouldn't be as biologically available as some other MA's, but I ordered it anyway and I'm glad I did because it sure does tingle and it gave me a few little peelies, but not much. I wouldn't want anything stronger. This suits me just fine and i will reorder. |

After I posted, Candy PM'd me that she has the HA serum with immortelle...so I asked her to throw it in with my other Candessence goodies!
I have to say (yet again) that both Candy and Markey are AWESOME! I love being able to get custom (or semi-custom) products, and I REALLY LOVE being able to ask the makers questions. Markey has gone out of her way at times to help me get a product that works for my skin--sending me custom-formulated oil mixes for me to try when I started OCM and coaching me when I wasn't seeing good results with the mandelic serum. Candy is pretty much doing the same thing now to help me with the immortelle hydrasol and such. I feel soooooooo fortunate to have found this forum and the great people on it. |
