Yes, I've read all the other threads on this topic. 
But I want to know who is using it now and who is liking it and what products they like best.
I was just about ready to order the trial kit and then I read about people who were very not impressed with the stuff. I know, I know not everything works for everyone.
There were people who had ordered and had not reported back on how they liked them.
Anyone?  |

Received my Sircuit teenie, tiny samples three weeks ago and must say my skin is not tolerating it well. The 'Dreamweaver Night Time Skin Repair' is very heavy and produced one or two whiteheads by morning. (Clinique is the only other product that did this to me.) The 'Day Care' is not quite as heavy but smells like playdough - takes me back 45 years ago to kindergarten.  And since it takes prolonged use to see the benefits of Vit C, there isn't enough product in the teenie, tiny vial to actually report on it. The pumpkin mask was nice but so is the 'Bath and Body Shops'. And finally, the samples are teenie, tiny. |

| I really didn't like the products, they smelt funny to me, very strong smelling (or so I thought). I don't recommend it for sensitive skin types, too much fragrance for my liking! I would not order any of their products I think they are way too much money for the results I got. The one (and only one) sample I didn't mind was the x-trap cleanser but again too much moola, I would rather stick with my cheap drug store brand! Well thats my two cents worth! |

I ordered samples of just about all their products so I could try them.
I tried the shampoo and conditioner first and was very impressed with these products as they are wonderful on your hair. I did not rinse out the conditioner and have to say that if it were not for the prices, I would love to purchase these.
As for the rest of the products, I found little to rave about and for the price they are asking, they would really need to show some improvements.
The cleanser is ok but the rest of the products have an awful smell which I can't take to. I sent a couple of emails querying the results I was getting with the i cee u eye product but did not receive any satisfactory replies. I found this product very sticky, so much so, that I could not pat it in as my finger kept sticking and this hurt the skin around my eyes. I also found that the glug was still sticky around my eyes 8 to 10 hours later. I have spent a fortune over the years trying to rid myself of puffy eyes to no avail but this product made my eyes ten times worse in the puffy stakes. I don't normally have sensitive skin but I could not take to this product.
For the price of the samples, they do not contain enough to see any effect, certainly not enough to convince me to buy the full sizes.
My advice to anyone wishing to try these products is try the samples first.

I ordered samples from the weightlossandskincare.com site since they were on sale for $37.50 and contained some of the more expensive products like OMG and Addict. I placed my order on Saturday night and they arrived Monday morning...I have absolutely no idea how they got here so fast!!! I've only used them for a day, but here are my results thus far:
Last night:
X-Trap Face Wash: got my face super clean and I LOVE the smell - I only used about a dime to a nickle's worth
Molecular Mist: I only used 3 squirts and gently tapped it into my skin which felt very soft and supple afterwards and the smell reminds me of tropical coconut suntan lotion...yummy!
Sircuit Addict: I only used about the size of a pencil eraser's worth which was enough for my whole face...it felt very firiming and says to start off slowly by using once/day every other day, so I'll skip it tonight
Dreamweaver: this is the night time repair that should follow the Addict. It's very rich and I only used a fingertip full which was plenty for my whole face.
White out: it comes with a spatula attached to the lid so application is easy. It seems like a decent eye cream with some deflecting properties for dark circles.
X-Zit: I thought about this after the fact and put it on a few little nasties over the night cream, but I probably should have applied it after the Mist and before the Addict serum.
I went to bed with glowing and firm (bordering tight) skin and awoke exactly the same. My skin was still very firm/tight feeling and my smaller pimples where almost completely gone.
This morning:
X-Trap Face Wash: again, very clean and awesome smell
Sir-Activ Purifying Scrub: very interesting product! I only used a nickle's worth on my cleansed, damp skin (this may have even been too much because I had plenty). It smells like Sweet Tarts. I scrubbed it into my skin for about a minute and left it on for another 5 mins. The best way I can describe the feeling is cool and bubbly (like carbonation)...no sting or tingle...just bubbly...go figure!!! My skin was super soft and the pores appeared to be a little more refined.
Molecular Mist: ditto last night
OMG Serum: this product is really cool...disgusting color, weird smell, but had a really nice fresh tingly sensation on my skin. Felt like it was tightening. Again, I only used a pencil eraser's amount.
Day Care: daytime mosturizer...I only used 2 pumps which was less than the size of a dime and it spread nicely over my entire face
White out: ditto last night
I know there have been a lot of mixed reviews for these products, as everything is different on everyone's skin. I personally enjoyed them. As far as going out and selling my organs to afford the full sizes...I'm not sure yet. I still have yet to try the Youth Accelerator Pumpkin Mask because it's only to be used once/week and not on the same day as the Sir-Activ scrub. I will let you know how it stacks up when I do. I'm glad I purchased 2 of these kits so I can give the products some time to see results...purhaps I'll just continue buying the sample packs as an extra boost to my regular skin care routine since they are so darn expensive. I do think they will last a week if not longer, because they are so concentrated and you only need to use such a small amount.
Final Comments:
1.) I definitely recommend using the VERY LEAST amount as possible because of the concentration and not only is more not necessary, but it might not give you the desired results AND it's expensive!!!
2.) My skin feels firm bordering on tight, so those of you who don't care for that feeling may want to use another moisturizer on top.
3.) They have scents, so those who are sensitive may not care for them. I didn't mind the scents (some I really liked) and I have asthma and allergies...plus all the ingredients are natural.
BTW...I'm 35 and have very combo, fair skin that ranges all the way from dry to oily and in between and the products seemed to keep it balanced. I'll let you know how they hold up under makeup (I use BE) and throughout the day and how my skin looks in about a week. |

| Thanks so much everyone for all of the replies (I love this forum!!!). I have decided to hold off for now until more people have tried them (Mabsy let me know how you find them!!). The "smell" thing is what concerns me. I'm so sensitive to smells....if it's truly natural I'm ok though. Plus I've ordered from Janson-Beckett and copper peptides so I'll give those a whirl. Like others on this board I'm a bit OCD and want to try EVERYTHING good to determine what works best on my skin. |

about a month ago now, i ordered a bunch of samples from sircuit.
here are my thoughts...
i liked white out, it's nice + thick which is good for my eye area because it's starting to get cold + dry where i am.
dreamweaver smells so heavily of coconut, it scared me.
molecular mist smells of something like rotten fruit, and after spraying it on my face i could smell it on me for some time. ick.
