I take it back! ...I might have said I thought Environ products were overrated in the 'most overrated' thread because I had a bad experience with their b-active kit and didn't like a few other products I had tried so I held a bit of a grudge. HOWEVER, I have found a few products that my skin seems to be loving right now!
First let me say that I have been having such a terrible time with my skin that I've finally given in a decided to go on accutane. My normal skin has consisted of 5-8 deep painful cysts on my forehead, 2-4 on my neck, 3-5 on my back, and 2-5 on my cheeks (each side). A few weeks ago I traveled to Colorado and my Bioclear Cream consistency ended up turning funky and then I ran out of my Anhydrous Cleanser. Luckily mom had a few extra environ products laying around because I didn't want to have to reorder the bioclear since I'm probably going to have to change my skin care routine once I start accutane. A few weeks later and I don't have any painful cysts on my face or neck. I just have the ones that are left from my last breakout that are healing. I'm sad I hadn't started using these sooner since I've only got a month or so left to use them. Who knows though, maybe the c-quence creme will be moisturizing enough to keep around.
So here are the products I've been happily using  :
Cleansing Gel: It's foamy, scentless, mild, and takes makeup off great! Fantastic for my oily skin right now.
Toner Forte: Very simple glycolic acid toner (only has 3 or 4 ingredients, helps take care of the flaky skin caused by the retin-a. I think I have mentioned on here before but I really like this toner. This is their strongest glycolic toner so I wouldn't recommend starting off with this if you are not use to using acids.
C-quence Creme: Fragrance free, not too heavy or too light (sinks right in!), comes in a hygienic airless pump. This is what they say about it: "This Crème is rich in highly effective antioxidants, including vitamins C and E, as well as pro-vitamin B5, Jojoba, Green Tea and Rosemary extracts. It also contains Vitamin B12 (an essential co-enzyme), Lutein (a plant carotenoid) and Squalane (a plant-derived emollient).".
I know a few people break out from jojoba or squalane but I haven't had any problems so far.
*Note*
-I'm also continuing to use retin-a micro a few nights a week for scarring...however, I haven't noticed this ever helping my acne in almost 3 months of using it.
-I've been taking a lot more supplements lately
-I've also cut back on my sugar and gluten intake |

| I like Environ too and I am currently using their Colostrum Gel which is energizing on the skin. It is difficult to describe exactly what it does because I have only been using it one week, but it does make my skin look healthy and nourished and I think I will repurchase. |

Hi I also use Environ. I am 37 years old and am currently using the Mild Day and Nighr Creams, the Mild Alpha Toner and the C-Boost. I like the fact that they are a no nonsense brand and the products do what they claim.
I'm pleased you are getting on weel with them Sundew.
Best wishes
