Hi everyone,

I recently ordered the cellcosmet trial kit for sensitive skin and have been used it twice. unfortunately, i am quite pleased with the results. this means that i will be making the full size product purchases and this is not good at all for what little is left in my account Laughing.

I have decided on the eye cream, but know i can't afford the whole line at the moment so what cellcosmet product must i have if i can only buy about 3 or 4 products? oh, and i don't need their cleanser since i have quite a stash at home i need to be using up Smile . i probably shouldn't complain about the price since i took a look at valmont's elixir des glaciers...wow. that one is for after i graduate....

anyway, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated Very Happy . thanks.

Hmmm, lets see, since I am spending someone else's money Bad Grin Bad Grin .....

I the cleansing gel, but you said you don't need anymore cleansers (but it is really awesome) I would add to the list their eye cream and a moisturizer. I use the preventive day cream. This moisturizer is so awesome that my extremely frugal husband has had me repurchase the preventive night cream for him. Shock I really liked the toner. It made my face look so smooth and soothed. I also really enjoyed the phyto gel, but I really only use this when I have puffy eyes.

Definitely the Activator Gel, am so impressed with this. The Activator Gel and the cleanser work well together.

After trying a few of the trial kits I purchased the full size - cleanser, activator gel and anti stress mask. Will at some point get the eye cream aswell.

i do love the activator gel and the cleanser! i wished i hadn't bought all these other products sitting in my cabinet, some still unopened too. I think i might go for the eye cream and wait for everything else, as i realize i have way too much products sitting around. but thank everyone for their advice! i appreciate it Smile

I think you are in a win win situation. If you have cleansers (for now) that's great. If you tone, you can use what you have or another brand and save $$ too. Next is the eye cream, which you have decided on (ask for samples of the three they sell) and last but most important is the moisturizer. If I were to go back in time, I would use day for day and night. (Or if necessary, night for day and night-your choice.) With this recommendation you have only Laughing purchased 2 products!!! Thinking you will be spending 400-500 and it is oooonly $250.00

Barbara, I was wondering if I could use the day creams for both day and night and you just answered my question. Do you recommend using just one cream for both day and night mainly as a cost saving measure when you are first starting the Cellcosmet line or is this a general recommendation? TIA

I use only the preventive day cream at night (I alternate with amore pacific's hydra gel). My husband used the preventive night cream in the morning. Use whatever works best for you.

Barbara--i had the same question actually. with the trial kit, i was using the day cream for day and night since i was on the whole trial kit and didn't want any other products affecting the outcome (night cream was not included in the kit). too bad i just placed my order though, or i woulda asked for the samples of their other eye products. Sad

seems like EDS read my mind! they included samples of cellcosmet eye contour gel and some decleor samples i really wanted too. too awesome.

i did end up getting the eye contour cream, which i love, and on top of that, my mom attacked the second free kit i got for the cellcosmet sensitive skin and now she wants to use the whole line! looks like i am gonna be getting just about everything for her now Very Happy .

When I can afford it, I'm going to get the Activator Gel. I can't wait to hear about your purchases!

For me, it is both the cleansers, activator gel, eye gel, eye cream, anti stress mask, exfoliator, ultra vital, preventative day & night, ampules. Basically I just love the whole range and I will never go without them the results are fabulous!!!

What's with the activator gel!!! I tried a sample & frankly don't see anything. Am I supposed to see something right away?? For that price, I'd hope so. Am I using it wrong? Apply, leave on 2 minutes & rinse, right?

Just what results are you guys getting? I hate it when I'm out the loop Confused

ultra vital is the star product of Cellcosmet, according to what i have read. but what's so good about it? can anyone tell? i am comparing Valmont to Cellcosment now, they are both made in Switzerland, but Valmont is the best of the best. is it really so?

I think Valmont's star procuct is the Renewal Pack.

I was also told that Cellcosmet Ultra Vital is their star product and I would have to agree with both.

Cellcosmet is highly concentrated and you don't have to put a lot on your skin. As for Valmont renewal pack, it gives a very nice glow but you cannot use it everyday unless you have a job as a construction worker, working in the cold everyday.

The other key product from Cellcosmet is the eye contour cream.

I agree with skincare, the eye cream and ultra vital are too of my most favorite products.
I don't get the same effect with the activator gel, which is odd because many of the women do. I started using it again because if 30 people are getting good results and one isn't who is off? Me or them. So I started using it again. I am taking a hiatus from the cellcosmet line, no special reason, just a break. If after 3o days my skin seems like it is taking a nosedive, I will cough up 500.00 and buy what I need. (I really hope that doesn’t happen, my husband will be really hungry.) Dr. H cleansing cream, amino genesis supplement products and I haven't decided on the moisturizer yet. If I run low I will do eneme meanie miney meo (or however it is spelled Rolling Eyes )....I just re-read my post, my first thought was...am I going thru a hormone surge?
Take care.

I never used it and it was never suggested for myself to use it.

I was told to use Concentrated for those very dry days and I get those when I'm outdoors for a very long time in the winter and then I go inside with my fireplace warming up my home and it is dry inside. My skin can get sensitive and dry. If I don't exfoliate on regular basis, then I get acne.
I have to becareful how I take care of my skin in the winter.

I plan to purchase Ultra Vital for the winter and use Concentrate samples for those very cold days and very dry indoors.

Laughing You are so right!!! I am in Canada and it is cool here but not that cold right now. It should get really cold in February or we just get really extreme bad conditions, for example: ice storm, heavy snow and winds
