No not that, but what do other countries get for their taxes? Do they pay for health insurance, plus a copay and deductible, this discussion could go on forever! |

Keliu, I thought you are against incentives to certain countries. I am afraid, it would be better for DrJ to give incentives than to label the products as a GIFT all the time. He might get in trouble for that. Hence, I think, a special purchase program is a better idea.
What would be an even better idea is to lower the price of the products, then his dream to sell a boat load of 'em may actually come true!  |
RS, I'm just curious, are you planning to order the full size AnteAGE products? |

So the pimples are subsiding, and I plan on adding the serum back after I acclimate to the environ a/c products.
Dr j...since the accelerator did not work for me, do you see any issues with me using the Serum in conjunction with the Environ Ionzyme products? Thanks! |

I wanted to move to Florida too, until I read a book about people that moved to Florida. Made it sound like Gods waiting room.
14.75% is infinitely better than the 20% we pay. |

I am cross posting here from the AVST thread: I have been using my AVST at night for 1 week now and my AnteAGE serum in the morning. (I am trying to see if I need only 1 or both of the AnteAGE products, and I chose to start with just the serum). My skin has been more red this past week and last night I decided to use just the AnteAGE Accelerator. This morning I woke up and my skin is nice and way less red. (Love the Accelerator and this is still my fav of the 2.) So, I applied the AnteAGE serum and then the AVST on top of that. Still my skin looks really good with the redness almost gone. This tells me that the AVST is very active on my skin, and that the AnteAGE is very calming to my skin.
Bottom line is that I really like the AnteAGE and definitely will continue on the products. |

jom, I am only going to order the Serum. But first I want to know if I will be able to use it together with the Environ moisturizers. |

But then we also need to use a mail forwarding service, resulting in having to pay US tax (bringing the product cost to over $300) plus a fee to the forwarding company and then shipping to the UK. Next comes 20% tax on both the goods value and delivery charge, plus £8.50 handling fee to Royal Mail. It all adds up to a tidy sum.
Still, I do think that it would be fairer to have a loyalty scheme for discounts which rewards everyone. Setting individual discounts for each individual company would be a nightmare to facilitate and likely cause hard feelings.
I also think we can all agree that Customs is a right old bu&&er! 
Firefox - Oh yes, that RM handling fee.  And some companies charge an even worse one, I believe. Not fun at all. |

riley, it sounds like the main reason you like them is that they are very calming and moisturizing, but you still feel the need for adding stronger actives, right? |

You're welcome, leelee. For me, the only thing I have noticed (other than the initial evening of my skin tone with the AnteAGE) is the diminishing of redness from my broken caps. And, that alone makes the products worth it to me. No other visible changes at this time, but it is very early on. |

rileygirl...the diminishing of redness due to broken caps is a biggie in my estimation. So many other products and actives just wouldn't do that. I'm sure there will be other benefits in due time.
Personally, I am looking for diminished hyperpigmentation. I thought I remembered seeing this benefit in one of the posts, however I can't find it and am wondering if this is just wishful thinking on my part. So many products promise this but just don't deliver. |

That is pretty much it in a nutshell! The are definitely calming products to my skin but I am not sure there is enough A and C. I am not saying they don't just that I am not sure they do! |

I find the system quite nice (not the cost)
The Accelerator is very moisturizing (I have normal skin)
I have noticed fading of pigmentation, but a bit of a rub here.
I have been using my PMD on BOTH my face and forearms (worst hyperpigmentation on arms) The AnteAge only on my face.
Both my arms and face have reduced hyperpigmentation, so is it just the PMD? 
If I had issues with redness or major broken caps I would be able to comment on that, other than to say I am thrilled for Riley and any others this is helping calm the skin! |

Leelee, yes it is a biggie for me. I have found things that calm my skin temporarily, but the AnteAGE seems to be more than temporary on my skin.
I do think I also saw someone mention pigmentation, but I cannot remember who. |

Rileygirl....the calming down of the skin is very interesting. With my ultra sensitive skin that is the one thing I do really need, a product that calms down everything but not just temporarily until it's washed off the face. I'm so glad to find out that you're experiencing this very positive result.
I hope we're both right about the hyperpigmentation. I would love to have some just fade away and never come back. |

| How about calling the product "Sample" on the customs declaration form with a value of $15. I have received products from the States before labelled like this and it comes directly to my mail box with no issues. Also Dr J, my parcel came with Signature Required - a definite no no as far as attracting attention from the post office. |

Ditto...that is why I decided to make Environ my base skincare line, and use the serum as a supplement. I may also end up using the serum only during pre and post dermaroll periods (that would encompass maybe 3 months a year since I am not a fan of frequent rolling). |

I live in FL, and pay about 7% at checkout. |

I am LOVING the serum. The thing I am most impressed with is that it has gotten rid of the three small milia I had on my jaw and the milia under my eyes is almost completely gone. I keep exfoliating uder my eyes and the milia keeps diminishing. I have had that milia for years and nothing has made it go away. All that from using the serum once a day for a month and a half. I am convinced that the serum is working at the cellular level to improve my skin. I have also noticed that my skin looks more toned and bright and that my pores are smaller. I will not be without this product and the loyalty program will help me keep it in stock in my bathroom. |

| Jom....thank you for that wonderful review. Looks like this product is a winner. Everyone has been making great reviews about the serum and almost all like the accelerator as well. I hope many more give updates on their progress. |

No, I am not. I have very predictable skin from a breakout standpoint (as in no breakouts except occasional deep hormonal pimples every 2-3 months). So anything else is usually product related, and I do not plan on reordering the Accelerator. |
