Hello everyone. I'd not intended to review this product yet for a few weeks but today I was driving and looked in my rearview mirror and about drove off the road when I realized my 11's were looking much better.
I am 44 with fairly good skin though recently I'd noticed the advent of some smile lines and the 11's were getting out of control. :)As well as some lip lines that were making me crazy. My skin tends to be dry and rarely I'll get a hormonal pimple near the chin.
I was pleased with the L2K system and decided to purchase Kandis's Line Eliminator, more for use against the lip lines.
I've been using LE for approximately three or four weeks. At this point I'm very pleased with the addition of the LE to my regimen. Instead of two solid lines between my eyes I now have vertical commas with smooth spaces between. I'm also using this on my smile lines, one of which has faded to the point of being unnoticable. Additionally, I'm using it on the outside of my eyes more for prevention that anything. I have two very stubborn small lines that have faded somewhat in the border of the lip, coincidentally where my lip tatoo liner is, these two seem better. Not as long or deep. I do understand from Kandis that these will take longer.
I've been using this 2x a day. In the morning, I mix a pea sized amount if the LE with an equal sized amount of the lip cream from the L2K kit and apply that to my lip line, above the lip, outer eye area, 11's, and smile lines.
After waiting for it to absorb I then apply either my Emo or go ahead and apply my make up.
In the evenings I use the LE straight to the same areas referenced above.
LE, as I understand it, is a Matrixyl 3000 product. This is my first product that contains Matrixyl so I don't have anything to compare it to. At first, I found the texture to be very different to anything I'd used before. There is a somewhat sticky feeling to it but perhaps this is normal? I'd appreciate hearing from those of you who use other products. You don't notice the sticky feeling as much in the AM when you mix with the lip creme. It does absorb and at night I hit those areas lightly with a hair dryer after I've finished blowing dry my lips. *never thought I'd say that one* The sticky feeling seems to go away after drying. Also, if I top with the emu oil I don't notice it much.
From the results I've seen at this point I'd certainly purchase this again. I'm very happy with the changes in my 11's.
I decided to not use other products underneath the LE in the 11's and lips and above. In other areas of my face I am using Candy's DMAE in 4%. I intend to add the dmae to the 11's but wanted to get an idea of how the LE worked on it's own.
I hope this helped some of you who were on the fence about this product.

I have also been useing the LE for about a week on some very shallow 11 lines. I have had excellent results as well so far. They are almost completely gone.
I received a sample with my lip kit. |

No Fair! Almost completely gone? Woohoo. Are you using it the same way Tangirl? Anything different? I'd love to hear.

actually I generally just apply full strength twice a day.  Sometimes I top it with a bit of the moisterizer cream for day use.
I do give a dryer shot as needed to "dry" it. |

| I apply in conjunction with my other facial products, as a final layer. (Other products are thinner so it does not effect absorption) |

| Its helps on some shallow crows feet also - now wish it would take care of the undereye lines. They are shallow, but bothersome. |

Guess what I'll be doing tomorrow? Full strength. I'd be really thrilled if it would do something for that pesky nasal labial line on my right side. Thanks for sharing.
