Hi there,
I've been using Emulator for several months now and I love it. my skin is very dry and I get the occasionaly eczema flare up and this is the only product that gives me lovely soft skin. i spend about 10 mins massaging it in morning and evening. Had no irritation at all from it. I'n now shipping it by the bucketload to the UK as all my family love it as well.
I've also used Let's make collegan. Not been using it as long as the Emulator but still very impressed with it and my skins reaction. Evens out skin tone and my skin feels firmer and thicker (my skin is very thin).
Finally I've just tried some of the Alpha Beta towels. I do like the effect of them but the product leaves quite an oily residue.
Hope this helps x  |

I use their Dream Cream, Anti-aging, Let's Make Collagen, DMAE 4% serum, KGF Lash, Alpha Beta Exfoliator, Celestite Spritz. I posted about it on another thread on this forum but for some reason I am not allowed to post the link even though it's from this website. The thread is called "Skin Actives Celestite Spritz with Strontium?".
I also bought some Hyaluronic Acid to mix with some stuff but have no used it yet. |

Can you tell me about the KGF lash!Does it sting your eye at all? I have very sensitive eyes! |

| I forgot the Liquid Rainbow. This is nice and I use it in the morning and then apply my lipstick after it has been on a bit. |

| I was posting at the same time as you. Regarding the KGF Lash, if you get it in your eye, yes, it does sting. But.....you can absolutely apply it without getting it in the eyes. I was just not as careful as I am now. |

Here the link you mentioned, bordnf12:

Here also is Antonia's thread where she attributes the use of SA's Bright-I and ISC's Youth Serum with removing her undereye lines. I recently purchased it after reading her thread  and have found it okay as well as a huge pot for the money. Time will tell if it has any effect other than moisturizing for me.
I've only ever tried a few of the creams and that was a long while ago but I do remember being a bit disappointed with their texture as both had crystals in them which I assumed was from one of the ingredients not dissolving properly. Then again, it could simply have been a freak occurrence.
p.s. there are a few comments from some regarding the Mitchondrial Boost on page 10 of the same thread |

I use the Bright-I cream, which I love. I had been using it by itself but started using the Easy Eye Tuck over it. I have very sensitive eyes and the Bright-I did not bother them at all. I use it for dark circles as well as puffiness. It helps with both.
I bought and used the Liquid Rainbow for awhile, but didn't care for it. I have very dry lips and am still looking for something to moisturize them. The Liquid Rainbow didn't do that for them at all. Plus, it leaked all over the outside of the tube everytime I would insert the wand. |

| I use a lot of their products. The Bright-I has already been addressed. I'm a huge fan. I also use Mitochondrial Boost in the pm and Anti-aging Cream in the am. I add their carnosine to both and their idebenone to the Anti-aging Cream. I used to use the Dream Cream on my feet but don't any more as I am cutting back on parabens. I also find the Let's Make Collagen serum great for a twice-a-week underlayer for the MB. (I usually mix this with the Marine Nutrient serum.) My skin looks way, way better and younger in my later 50s than in my 30s and 40s. Since I use SA products almost exclusively, I can definitely vouch for them. |

Just wanted to say a quick thanks to Antonia as I'd been reading your posts on your skin care routine and been inspired to try more of the skinactives range. just ordered bright-I and the mitochondrial boost cream.
I love their emulator and lets make collagen.
When would be the best time to apply to boost cream and would you use any serums under it?
Many thanks |

| I will recommend the Bright-I. It is moisturizing. Doesn't really help my dark rings though but I like the feel of it and its not expensive. |

I have used SAS for about two years now. Not exclusively but still a fair amount of product including canvas cream, antiinflammatory cream, bright I, let's make collagen, cellulite cream, lig rainbow, KGF for hair/brow, Be Kind Rewind
I do like their products. I like the liquid rainbow for lips and experienced no leakage from the bottle. The liq rainbow is like a clear lip gloss but with shimmer, really nice.
I stopped using Bright I because I did not see any benefit and am just using up other products that I have. SAS has trio sets which offer a discount and it is a great way to try some product.
I want to try the mitochondial cream but at this point am trying to use what I have before making more purchases. Overall I am very pleased with SAS ready-mades. |

The big test: As most of you know, I was able to get rid of some rather obvious wrinkling under the eyes with ISCYC and SA Bright-I. Today, I discovered that I forgot to reorder the Bright-I along with my other SA products three weeks ago. So, I've decided to use just the ISCYS for a while and see if my wrinkles return. This is by no means scientific as I could have had a spontaneous remission of wrinkles  Also the SA product could have literally restored my skin (as opposed to have contributed to a temporary effect with the ISCYC). I will keep you briefed. |

I actually ordered a few of there products the other day and should be receiving them any day now.
I orderd the emulator and DMAE for my neck both of which I have not used before. Dermagen which I absolutely love adding to ready made creams and ELS which I also absolutely love.
In the past I have used and very much liked and will repurchase in future the Bright I, Anti- aging cream, Lets make collagen and the Marine serum. They all worked beautifully on my skin and I saw noticable improvement. I didnt like the KGF for my eyelashes saw no improvement or the hair serum.
I really want to try the Mito cream but just have far to much skincare stacked up in my draws, so it will have to wait a while. |
