Hi KateLewis!
I'm familiar with this one! I think the eye flash balm is more immediately effective that the beauty (face) flash balm. It's OK stuff - but there are much better ones out there (I think, anyway..) Years back I used to use the full Orlane line...their Morning Recovery Concentrate is excellent...as is the Anti-Fatique Recovery Mask...the morning recovery concentrate alone will really boost your tone and "wake up" your skin (it's a leave-on serum). Doing the mask (same application method as the flash balm) before applying the concentrate gets me awesome results!! These are two products I continue to use and really like. If I had to pick one I'd choose the Morning Recovery Concentrate...this stuff is great after sleepless nights!

I agree 100% with Pudoodles. Having tried both I find that they Eye Flash Balm is more effective. I don't think I quite see any results with the original Flash Balm plus it tastes metallic (don't ask!). I think Decleor has a similar product (Beauty Booster? something along those lines) at a cheaper price as well.
Pudoodles - Am I reading you correctly when I say that you're telling me that I should buy some Morning Recovery Concentrate?  Have you tried Valmont Renewing Pack by any chance? Just would like to know how (or if) the two compare. |

Hi Mabsy! the morning recovery concentrate is great stuff - and if you been up late at night  and need to suddenly look rested - this works wonders  I haven't tried the Valmont Renewing Pack...is it good? I'm going to get the Dr H cleansing cream tomorrow when I place my order - I can't WAIT to try this stuff! I was going to get the Dermalogica micro-stuff but I am WAY too intrigued by this!!!

Hi Kate,
It's not bad, the only other one I've tried like that is Gale Haymen. If things have improved over the years I dunno, sure the other girls will sort you out. |

| I don't think I realized there was one for the eye area? I use the Beauty balm under eyes and around and on cheeks? |

Oh YEAH! This is what I've been using after late nights to make my skin look decent. But I would like to try some other alternatives and compare. Sounds like the Orlane one might fit the bill - not too expensive either.
Looking forward to hearing what you think of the Dr Hauschka Cleansing Cream. The Microfoliant is also very good - *sigh* so little time so many great products!  |

| Will this even out the texture of the skin - including open pores? |

The Flash Balm? Um, it made my skin look more "alive" but I've since found much better things. In terms of evening out skin texture - perhaps temporarily. It does act as a bit of a primer I think. |
