Hi, I've tried a few products from SkincareCentral, the website that has the "Professional Solutions" products, but need to know if anyone's tried the following ones:

I'm interested in them because they do not seem to have artificial preservatives, however, I'm not sure how they remain "clean" without any bacteria growing or anything,

but if anyone has good things to say about any of the following products could you let me know?

DMAE Amine Gel

Multi-peptide Serum

Gigawhite/Biowhite Whitening Serum with Grapefruit Extract

DCX Dark Circle Under Eye Serum

Daisy Facial Glow Serum

Wildberry Extract w ith 2% Kojic Acid

I realize they have samples for sale, but my funds are so limited, just trying to find out which samples are worth ordering and paying for.

Thanks Smile

I have tried and actually still use DCX to help with under eye bags. I am now trying it with Santa Maria Nuvello eye serum (before it was PSF Cranberry lift gel), then I use Super CP serum on top, then Kripps DMAE, then Emu Oil, then sunscreen.

I did get the Kojic Acid, but gave it to my girlfriend, so can not comment on this.

HTH,
Lucy.

If anyone else has tried any of the above products I listed please let me know what you thought. Question

DMAE Amine Gel -- I don't notice the 2% and haven't tried her 4%

Multi-peptide Serum --haven't tried

Gigawhite/Biowhite Whitening Serum with Grapefruit Extract --love this; very nice

DCX Dark Circle Under Eye Serum --Holy Grail of dark circle de-puffers (makes circles lighter, too)

Daisy Facial Glow Serum -- can't say about this

Wildberry Extract w ith 2% Kojic Acid -- my skin doesn't like kojic acid.

Hyaluronic Acid-- Very, very nice stuff

Special anti-inflammatory serum for people with rosacea and sensitive skin -- Very gentle and pleasant to use; but I haven't used long enough to see new collagen growth. This product is just in test phase but if you ask Kathleen for some, I bet she'll fix you up. Smile

Poco,

how are you using Gigawhite/Biowhite Whitening Serum with Grapefruit Extract ? What effect did you see from it?

TIA,
Lucy.

Lucy, I used it in place of Hyaluronic acid; I mixed it with a bit of emu oil and used as my moisturizer. I liked the texture of it because it is a bit different than pure HA (has seaweed stuff in it for more body). It seemed to be anti-inflammatory because it made my skin tone calm and less blotchy. It did not make my age spots disappear but nothing else I tried did that either; I've since realized that I need to "spot-treat" those with the big guns (hydroquinine+glycolic+kojic acid).

Thank you PocoLoco: how does your skin react to Kojic acid? I've never tried it on my face before.

It's strange, they have the 2% DMAE serum listed under the "samples" section I believe, but not in the full size for some reason.

When I put the kojic-containing serum on my sunspots only (with a q-tip), I have no problems with kojic acid. But when I tried using Wildberry serum all over my face, I got more blotchy/irritated from it. My skin is pretty sensitive.

Thanks, Poco!

I will have to try it, once my HA is gone.
Recently, I started mixing Emu Oil with red rasp. seed oil +hazelnut + jojoba, and it penetrates so much better, that I forget to use HA.

The anti-inflamatory properties sound soo good, since my sensitive skin needs it always.

Thanks,
Lucy.

I'm using the 4% DMAE and love, love it. Nice, subtle tightening around eyes. Does not ball up or pill like some other DMAE serums I've used. It's a keeper for me!

Also thinking about this. CrazyForClooney, does it work on dark circle?

free skin care · Thu Dec 28, 2006 5:04 pm

Yes! It has helped my dark circles lighten up a bit (and every little bit helps!) and I'm using less concealer. This,however, took I'd say 3-4 weeks to start improving whereas the tightening/firming effect was pretty quick.

Luvsgracy, I've used the 4% DMAE and liked it, even though I'm using Candessence's right now. It smells a bit, but that quickly fades. I'm currently using a sample of the Wildberry Extract with Kojic to spot treat. I haven't noticed any irritation, but I also haven't noticed any difference. I haven't used the rest. I will add that the customer service is awesome. Very Happy

Thank you "CrazyforClooney" and "Tosca" and everyone, I ordered a samle of the DMAE serum, and if it doesn't work I'll order a sample of Candessence and/or PSF.
