I would love to hear your thoughts on these two new Juvena products, especially your experience with them if you already have them! Smile

Here is all the marketing information I was able to find…

Juvena Juvedical Age-Decoder Fluid & Cream
(called Juvedical DNA Skin Optimizer outside of North America)

What Does It Do:
Two unique technologies derived from medicine: Skin Nova Technology for optimal skin renewal is combined for the first time with an innovative Nano Crystal Technology to work effectively and entirely against the aging process. Juvena Age-Decoder Face Fluid provides an optimal environment for cell renewal and also works in the inner part of the cells.

I am so happy you posted the complete list of ingredients. I was lemming after this line until I read thru the ingredients....seemed to take me 20 minutes - not really, but good heavens, what don't they put in this line!!!!???

After my experience with Remergent, I'm now VERY cautious about buying these xpensive Swiss lines that conjure up exotic, generalized terms to cover a bunch of ingredients that I'd rather have clearly listed, even if the list does take me 20 minutes to read.
That's my beef with these lines, you don't know exactly what you're getting in the product until you have the pkg in hand & see the list of ingredients first hand,usually after you've mortgaged your house to buy it.

My problem is that my skin hates, absolutely hates dimethicone - the 2nd application of any line with this ingredient and my skin has a hissy fit. Looks gunked up, cloudy, colour is pukey (sorry but that's the truth), hard little sebum turns into blackheads, you name anything you don't want skin to look like & it happens on mine with Dimethicone. And horrors of horrors, usually these ulta chic lines, read very xpensive, have that cheapo ingredient in them. A very big UGH from me.

We are usually so fussy about knowing all the ingredients in N.A. products that cost less, but adopt completely different criteria for European lines that cost an arm & a leg! I don't get it. And their packaging always seems to me to be a huge % of the cost - very high end & frankly totally unnecessary when you think it's thrown away!!!

Me thinks they've played us for suckers....

Well I will certainly buy them if EDS stocks them as I was very happy with the Juvedical line. The Juvedical eye serum and cream got rid of my eye bags and they have never returned so I am just hoping EDS stocks these products.

Before I posted, I was wondering, bushy, if you were still using the eye serum/cream. I'm very happy for you if these products got rid of your bags & if they work for others too, that's great. I wish it were true for me.

What I'm not happy about is that because of my skin's reaction to dimethicone, I need to know beforehand if a product contains this ingredient. And it appears that several of these expensive Swiss lines don't provide a complete listing of ingredients to EDS (have not seen one for Juvena/Remergent/Valmont lines) so that clients can make informed decisions before purchase.
It leaves me wondering why these lines have adopted this practice. Call me skeptical or whatever, but it has also made me wonder what else they're not telling us...

Before I realized dimethicone was one of two causes of my skin's bad reaction, the other being sodium lauryl sulfate & its cousins, I never questioned product ingredients. But now I want to know exactly what my money is buying, especially if it is a lot of money. I'd be foolish indeed were I to respond otherwise. My skin wouldn't like it nor would my pocketbook, as I've unhappily learned with my purchase of Remergent. Embarassed

I don't have problems with 'cones, so that fact that many Swiss skincare lines contain 'cones doesn't bother me at all. If it works wonder for my skin, honestly, I don't care too much what's in it.

Bushy - I'm really interested in the eye serum you mentioned and I've read some really good reviews on it. However, I'm not sure which eye cream you're referring to. Is it the one from Juvedical line? If so, I've tried a few samples of it and quite liked it, but never noticed any de-puffing effect. I think it's mainly due to the fact that I didn't use it long enough. Actually, I had totally forgotten about it until you brought them up again in this thread. It's a shame I only just ordered Cellcosmet Eye Contour Cream the other day. Otherwise, I would have gone for the Juvena Juvedical one!

I think I remember that Bushy used these two together...

I hear you. However, that's not the point I was really trying to make & perhaps I made it badly. I just want to have a complete listing of all ingredients on products so that I, like you, can make an informed decision before buying.

If you or a family member experienced a bad reaction to say, peanuts, wouldn't you want to know what products contained peanuts before you bought them? That's the principle I'm talking about.

In this day and age, it's a perfectly reasonable request that product lines fully disclose their ingredients. That expensive lines don't do so just raises questions in the most reasonable of people. That's all I'm saying.

Thanks Havana8 and yes, I did use both the Juvedical Eye Serum and Juvedical Eye Cream. I used quite a bit of the serum but only a tiny amount of the cream over the top. If I couldn't access my current favourites, I would return to these products. I would really like to try these new products as they appear to address lines as well.

Is it just me, or are the only active ingredients here sunscreen ingredients? Reading between the lines in the promotional blurb, it sounds like they are claiming only that, with sunscreen protecting the skin from UV damage, it can get on with repairing itself in peace.

Awfully pricey for sunscreen, especially sunscreen without any particularly unusual ingredients. So, in the rest of the alphabet soup labelled "inactive ingredients", are there any skin care actives?
