I finally opened my Skinbio BND cream, and phew, it smelled ugly. I ordered the jasmine scent, but could not blame it on the jasmine. I just don't know if I got a bad batch or what. Does anyone know if the BND cream is supposed to smell bad?
I also ordered a sample of the Protect & Restore lotion with jasmine scent. I could not remember why I ordered it. Anyone else using this lotion? I know when I placed my order, my focus was stretch marks, but i got the tri-reduction cream. I just put the P&R lotion all over my body, but thought oh shoot, what if it was for something else. HELP! |

Hi Cherisse.
I have the BND in Jasmine and I find it comical, because the jar is so unappealing, the cream is murky green and, well, it smells tacky and weird.
Nonetheless,I love it dearly, because it works so very beautifully.
Find room in your heart, or simply your cabinet, for this sensorily disadvantaged product, and you will be rewarded.
Good Luck with it. It's great stuff,really. |

| catski, thank you! I ordered it on a whim, not really sure what it would do for my BND, but thinking it could probably use some firming or whatever. Is that what it's supposed to do for your BND? Do you use it just once a day? |

I use it once a day.
It's been terrific for me - it got rid of quite a bit of sun damage quite quickly, and really smoothed and rejuvenated the skin on my my chest which was beginning to age, which I'd forgotten was going to happen, and rather horrified me!
I spent a total of 3 years breastfeeding, so I was very grafeul to this cream for thickening up and toning the skin on my breasts. It really has toned them up.
I love it and will definitely re - order. |

| Mine doesn't smell all that fantastic either, but I will definitely continue using it to see if it will give me good results. I've been using it for a few weeks now with no startling differences, but the skin does feel smoother and so I'm quite hopeful. |

| It stinks. It works on the bust & is also a very effective birth control if you use it just before bed. |

Loopylori, that is too funny! Thanks for reminding me this. My boyfriend probably won't touch me or come close to me if I have this BND cream on. I wonder why it has to smell SO stinky?

Could you use it as a hand cream? maybe the smell is too strong close to your nose? Or is it just plain stinky?
Is it available in unscented version? Maybe that would be a suggestion to put forward to SkinBio? |

My boobs are nearer my feet than my nose.
Take my word for it, something in it stinks & it is impossible to disguise.
On the good side the smell disappears quickly. |

I have the unscented one - and it stinks! Possibly even more so than the scented ones, as at least those might disguise it a little. |

I have the "unscented" but it still smells weird. Years ago I made the mistake of ordering the "scented" Calypso's Oil. Sorry - but it just stinks to me.
I also have the P&R (unscented) lotion. It's really great for super dry or stretchmarks. I'm always dry/scaley near my ankles so use P&R there. |

| Thanks, Ro. You finally answered for me what the P&R lotion was for. |

What cps do for your face ... P&R lotion is formulated for your body. Probably similar to BND but for less sensitive skin.
One of the reasons it makes sense to me is because I also like AmiLactin. It has lactic acid and I think having something exfoliate and moisturize is better than just moisturizing dead skin. |

Ro, I have not figured out yet how to use my skibio for my face. Right now, I use the exfol cream on my tummy in the AM, and when I get home from work, I cleanse my tummy and rub on the Triple P&R, followed by the Super CP serum, no wait in between. Then I use the LightStim. I got one on my navel right now. I am hoping I'm doing it right.
How do you use these creams for your face? I just got Candy's Ultra Triple C, DMAE, and HA. I tried them this morning. I can't see if there's any difference just yet. However I am not having a major issue on my face except for the sunspot and I think my forehead can certainly be more smooth. |

I'm not the best one to ask but .... DMAE is long-term. Vitamin C - it's one of those that I don't really notice but I know it's probably working. HA is a moisturizer ..?
I use exfol cream on my neck in the morning and Exfol serum or mandelic acid on my face in the morning. Evening I use SuperCP serum all over and spot treat my sun damage freckles with SuperCOP 2X. |

Thanks, Ro. I don't have the Super COP 2x one, so I'll settle for the Super CP serum all over.  I have never used so many products on my face before. The good old days prior to the age of 30 is gone forever!
