| I've developed a bit of an obsession with serums and am now on a quest to find the perfect one for me. I could use everybody's input. Thanks! |

| There is no doubt in my mind that Valmont L Elixir Precious Serum is the best but it is so pricey. If it were more affordable, I would just use it all the time and it would finally stop me being a product junkie and continually trying other products. |

I am a serum junkie - to the max, it is a bit pathetic really. I'm lucky I can get out of the house in the morning, I'm so busy slapping serums (and then creams, and then sunscreen on my face).
Two of my favorites are Isomers One 3000, and Isomers Accelerated Recovery Complex. |

I'm so jealous. I wish I could find one product that will do it all, but , unfortunately, Valmont L Elixir Precious Serum was a huge disappointment for me.  |

| its 1500 for a 4 week treatment, you do it twice a yr. I buy it on ebay for 400.It works..you just look younger afterwards.Will not work if you are pretty young though.You should be at least 40 to use it. |

Just search the ingredients of Revive peau magnifique:

Water (Aqua), Glycerin, Methylsilanol Mannuronate, Sodium Carboxymethyl Beta-Glucan, Sodium Hyaluronate, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Madecassoside, Recombinant EGF, Recombinant FGF, Telomerase, Panthenol, Borago Officinalis Seed Oil, Anthemis Nobilis Flower Extract, Tocopherol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Cetyl Palmitate, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil, Citral, Citronellol, Limonene, Linalool, Zea Mays (Corn) Starch, Butylene Glycol, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Hydrolyzed Corn Starch, Hydrolyzed Corn Starch Octenylsuccinate, PEG-33, PEG-8 Dimethicone, Hydroxyethylcellulose, PEG-14, Xanthan Gum, Carbomer, Polysorbate 20, Caprylyl Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben

| This is really the only serum I've ever tried - but Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Concentrate always leaves my skin brighter with a nicer texture! It's rarely discussed on the board so I am under the impression there is better stuff out there. It is quite expensive too at 110$ for a bottle. I would highly recommend it though. I told a friend to try the regular ANR and she was delighted with the results. |

| lucyluc- Could you describe in detail more what it does. I used a few products from Dr. Brown and didn't do anything including intensite volumizing serum and cream. |

| it just makes you skin look younger and tighter thats the only way I can explain it.I really like his night cream lustre too...I use that every night. the peau magnifique is expensive though, wont work for everyone...because it is for mature skin.I was able to buy it off ebay for 300 to 450,only buy a sealed box though.I like the revive line and out of all the different lines I have tried its my favorite.The eye renewal cream has kept the lines under my eye to a minimum. |

RussianSunshine, I think I remember reading on another thread that you are 20-smth, around 28 (correct me if I`m wrong).
I can assume that you will not see any dramatic difference from an anti-aging product, as you are still young. As Lucyluc noted about the Revive serum, it is designed for people after 40. I think Valmont L Elixir Precious Serum will also give your more noticable resutls when you will be older. I think it`s not the case that it does not work, it`s just your skin is still in good condition so that you don`t notice much difference. |

Aiva , I'm turning 30 very soon 
It's a interesting theory, but I do get noticable results from other anti-aging products.  Even though, you're right, my skin is in good condition that's why the changes are not so dramatic.
On the other hand, I think, bushy is among very few who notices visible results from Valmont line and Valmont Elixir Serum in particular. |

 i've wondered before if anti-aging products can help with minor acne scars. if they are re-modeling the skin with growth factor i don't see why that wouldn't help damaged tissue even on a young person. but maybe it doesn't work that way. any ideas? i |

| Murad Essential C has had the most noticeable and best effect on me than other C serums I've tried. I thought I liked Philosophy until I tried this one. |

I use Skinmedica retinol complex as a serum these days and see noticable results.
I am really happy to find a product which could fight aging and acne at the same time. |

| PSF's Vitamin C serum. It works wonders. It's a must for me every morning, and I've been using it for years. Every time I try something else in it's place, I'm disappointed and come right back to PSF. |

| Although I hate La mer moisturizing cream, I love its lifting serum and the concentrate. The lifting serum brightens my skin and makes its pearl smooth. The concentrate really helps to heal the acne marks. |
