I recognize that many of your prefer organic, botanical, naturally-derived skin care ingredients.
Just wondering if any members have tried Suki Pure Cosmetics? If so: any opinions? This is a line I'd like to possibly present to Magda.

I think I learned about this line through someone on this forum. Can't for the life of me remember who! I remember running a search for it online and investigating their cleansers.
It's not an officially listed brand at MUA but I found some products by running a search in unlisted brands.
I tried posting the link, but it just goes to MUA, not to my search results.
I just put "suki" in the "Search product name for" box. |

I tried it (bought at Whole Foods) and was not impressed. Smells nice. Did not do much for the skin.
HTH,

I love the blue chamomile facial oil. I have combination skin and it absorbs really well doesn't leave me all oily 
I really liked the lemongrass cleanser but I don't think it's exfoliating enough.
I'd love to try more of the products.
It's got rave reviews on makeupalley. |

That is why when I had seen it in the local Whole Food I gave the entire line a try.
Cleanser was OK, but nothing dramamtic.
The rest of the line was also OK, but did not brighten, smoothed or helped with some breakouts, nor helped it heal.
So back it went. Luckily for me you can return things to Whole Food.
I have much much much better results with I FEEL PRETTY products. Her healing oil is a WOW, helps not just with small pimple, but with the deep inside mount ...
Her cleanser is good as well, so are rejuvenating and clarifying oils. AHA/BHA is just great.
Just my 2 cents,
Lucy. |

The I Feel Pretty products sound amazing thanks Sigma
I will have to try the healing oil. I wanted to try the BHA cream but it's got parabens in. I'm trying to avoid these.
I'm loving my suki oil and it gives me a lovely glow and is full of good things. The products are very expensive over here (Ireland/UK) which means I won't get to try them as easily.
Do I Feel Pretty have more natural products like the oils? |

I am not sure, but you can email the owner and ask her.
I use AHA/BHA liquid, and I am not sure it has parabens. I try to avoid them as much as possible.
Best of luck,
Lucy. |

Unfortunately I can't order the liquid as they're not allowed to ship it overseas 
I keep wondering if it's worth worrying so much about parabens  Some products I really like have them in, what do you do  |

| I've never tried anything from this line, but have always been interested. If EDS offers it, I'll surely order some products from the line. |

I use Suki, and love it!
I am absolutely in love with the White Willow Toner. I have like 3 stashed away under my counter so I never run out!
I also use the lemongrass exfoliating cleanser and the cleansing milk, and the eye tissue repair (at night). The cleansing milk can leave a film behind, but I find the toner gets rid of it just fine.
I have tried mostly all the products, but these are the ones I stick with.
It would be so great if you carried this line!! Please do! |

| I just saw this thread! I have used Suki in the past, but it is expensive. My favorite product is the lemongrass cleanser. It cleans well, smells great, has exfoliation built it. One of the best cleansers out there in my opinion! |

| To those of you who have used the lemongrass cleanser, does it remove makeup or lather up? |

| I don't wear make-up so can't answer that question. I don't know if I would call it lathering up, but I guess there is a slight lather (hard to describe that part of it!) |

I love the idea of their products, but when I tried the Lemongrass cleanser it broke me out badly. I still have no idea which ingredient bothered my skin. It had a really lovely texture, though. 
I've tried some of their other products (hand cream, etc.) from the testers at Whole Foods and they are very nice. Pricey, though. |

I purchased all the products for oily/acne prone skin, after reading their entire web site. After one week of use my pores were full of this white waxy stuff? I could not figure out which product may have been the culprit, nevertheless I returned all the products except the toner, which is okay.
There is nothing from Suki's that I would repurchase. I am more committed to Jurlique or Dr. Hauschka for an organic option - even thought they do not have any thing for controlling acne.

Just wondering if you are still loving the Suki line, Amylola? I see EDS now stocks it...

You know what havana - I still love the white willow toner, but beginning in July I started using Dr. Hauschka mainly, and I am very happy with it. It is expensive, but my skin has been so balanced, and very little breakouts with dr. h. I also use Ifeelpretty 2% BHA every 3 days or so, and my skin has been just so clear - I am thrilled.
I still like the Suki products, but they are hard to find (have to order online) and they just didn't do anything miraculous for me.
I do want to try their new tinted moisturizer though! |

I am considering purchasing their Dry Skin Therapy Butter Cream Salve, as I've developed a bit of eczema between two fingers. |
