I have used some products from this line. They are VERY nice, but also VERY expensive. I'm talking about $75.00US for 1/2oz of moisturizer.
I've tried the Soya Cleanser, which was a little too rich for my skin, the Hydrasoft Lotion, which is divine, The Seaweed Liposome Gel, which is a nice anti-oxidant treatment, and the Irritation Relief Complex, which instantly takes any redness out of your skin.
Oh, I also did try their Oxygen Eye Treatment, but it made my eyes swell up & itch.
I don't know all in all, they are nice products, but I just don't think that they're nice enough for that kind of money, which is why I have never reordered. Hope this helps!

I have tried most of the line and I really like it. The Bergamot cleanser is the best cleanser I have used. I also like her exfoliant, masks and her Omega oils. Overall I think that she has a very good line.

YEah, it really does work. But like I said, it just gets expensive. It absorbs right in to your skin, so you end up having to use a lot to do your whole face.

I used Omega 3 - Excellent product!!!
It also made my face look dewy.

I really like the scrub but I don't buy it on regular basis because of the cost. I use baking soda with Cetaphil.

I used her sunblock but I cannot handle the scent - too strong for an allergie sufferer.
I love her Enzyme peeling cream but I found her masks burn my skin sometimes.

Her lotion is nice but I want to try DDF oil free lotion.

Overall, excellent line.

Used everything, got treatments from her spa - only thing I noticed was a lighter wallet!

Are you saying that your skin did not look good?
If you already have good skin, I don't think you would have noticed a change.

The Omega 3 made my face glow.

I went for hyperpigmentation problems and just overall dull skin. I went in for monthly facials and used her products (10 in all) faithfully, including the Omega 3. To me, it was all very expensive hype with very average results. I just felt bad because I would women come in for acne who were getting married in 6 months and I would see them come in every month and they'd look the same if not worse. Sonya would blame it on dairy even though they said they weren't eating/drinking any. The only ones I saw with pretty skin were her celebrities and she'd spend 2-3 hours with them.

I don't mean to be a hater and I'm glad some of her products work for some people out there. But to me, she just seems like someone who does not genuinely care about good products that make customers happy as much as she cares about her own self promotion.

Just my opinion ...

Just though of something. Would Vivier vitamin C in strength 20 help even your skin tone/color?

Vitamin C helps a little, but since it's dermal melasma I've had the most success with vitamin/mineral supplements as well as a change in diet. Currently Yonka products are helping. I've pretty much tried every topical treatment out there. Right now I'm pretty happy with the results.

Thanks Skincare,
I appreciate your recommendations. I've been to a dermatologist and they treat hyperpigmentation with the same topical treatments that have a tendency to make the melasma worse. I've since learned through extensive trial and error as well as this forum and a melasma forum for the best treatment without going broke!
