Wow Thanks Winnie. My mom has been searching for something can help her eyelids. I will definitely get this one for her.

Well I finally read this thread. I bought the JB products back in Feb 2007 but have not used them yet. My BF kept using them so I had to hide them. I am finishing up my bottle of Seattle Skincare Serum which didn't impress me much. So this weekend I will start the JB line. I plan on taking before pictures and following up every 2 weeks to a month. I'm hoping that I get good results with this line. So far the only product that I have had results with is PTR Unwrinkle. Works great but I bought JB around the same time.
I'll keep you posted on progress.

I tried this one because I got the sample from Essential Day Spa when I bought Alphaderma CE and Skin Prep 2 years ago. Well, the texture is quite nice but not enough moisture for me because my eyes area is bit dry.

I just got a sample of this. After only 3 days I see a difference in some fine lines on my forehead! I cant even see them anymore so am impressed so far. Id noticed id started raising my forehead alot but after using this my forehead does just seem more relaxed.

I dont see a difference around the eyes yet though.

AZgirl, I'd still like to hear how you are doing with this and pictures would be great, too. Are you continuing to use it?
Carol69 also, what has your experience been?

I have been searching for an eye cream and anti-aging treatment program after neglecting my skin somewhat for several years. I hit product burnout in my mid-30s (or was it denial?). I'm now 40 and ready to tackle this aging thing head on. Ha!

After reading through all of the reviews - my eyes hurt from all the screen time Smile

- I've narrowed down my search to the alphaderma line. I just ordered the 30-day kit of the CE, prep, & OkuSil. I ordered the Clarisonic a few days ago, so I'm looking forward to testing these products out.

I got 1oz of the Alpha Derma CE in my recent Beauty Test Tube. 2 days now of use and I'm loving it!!

Seems like a good combo and I feel the actives "working".

Hi, I’m a male having really dug-out hollow eyes. I’ve been suffering with this sunken eyeball look since past few yrs, and its actually getting deeper and deeper into the socket. I tried oil massage, sleep routine, cool pads and such but without any improvement. I posted this on some other medical forum website, but the doctor suggested to get a injection in the eye or Cosmetic surgery. The eye doctor(s), (actually I visited an ophthalmologist and a Ocular Surgeon), said that injection cannot be given on the lower/upper eyelid to plump up the skin around eyes. Does anyone have any suggestions? (other than surgical and the ones i mentioned above) I know that I didn’t leave an option for suggestions, but I’m trying to make sure I don’t bypass the golden trick. Much appreciated!

tiodl,

I'm a little confused why you are posting on this thread about a specific product. You'd be better off posting a new thread in the Skin Care section.

tiodl,

Check this thread on "hollow eyes":

I've used Alphaderma CE for almost 4 years now and I'm convinced that it's keeping my wrinkles at bay. Before I started using this product, I noticed a forehead line forming. Well, it's been 4 years and the line has never gotten worse. In fact, I really think it's improved. That's proof enough for me! I've recently added the Skin Prep to my routine and I've noticed my skin has improved even further. Only a few days of using it, my skin looked brighter and healthier. One thing these products haven't helped are the lines beside my mouth. I guess I smile too much!
How is it that I've used ADCE all these years and I wasn't aware that it has a SPF in it? Shock

It doesn't state that on the bottle, or does it?

free skin care · Sat Apr 19, 2008 4:35 pm

I've been using the Prep, ADCE for 3 weeks now.not notice any change,but i like my smooth skin after applying them....so i will keep useing up the bottle:)

I didn't think there was anyone using Janson Beckett products as long as I have. Laughing

So glad you finally starting using the Skin Prep. Smile

On the front of AlphaDerma's box is say UV A UV B protection. I use JB's SPF 40 Moisturizer

. Actually, I wish I could get ADCE without the SPF. Oh well, I can't have it all.

Winnie, or anyone else. Does anyone know the % of vitamin C in the Alphaderma CE?

I got a nice 1oz size in my Beauty TestTube and have been using it. But I'm looking at my Vit. C protocol and want to know what I'm getting from this product in terms of C.

Sorry I was never told the percent of C in AlphaDerma. A product like ADCE has a combination of many actives. A long time ago a member wanted to know percentages. The owner of JB explained that by telling the percentages of the product would be giving the formula. That made a lot of sense to me. Sorry I could not be of more help.

I do know that C&C have a combined percent of 10.

Thanks, Winnie. I want to bump up my C but don't want to overdo it (if that's possible).

The Leaf & Rusher Active Serum has C in it too (Ester C) but I don't know the % of that either. I had been using the AlphaDerma in place of the L&R serum but was missing the retinol from it. Don't know about combining the two products - seems like too much - so sometimes I alternate now.

I only realized that the retinol (2% in Leaf & Rusher Active Serum) does seem to benefit my crow's feet and ll and skin texture when I switched to using only the Alphaderma CE and then started using the Leaf & Rusher again for a few days...

I'm thinking of discontinuing the GHK CP cream as I'm running out and I think it's interfering with my usage of Vit. C more regularly (because I've followed the 12-hour timing suggestion). Right now I'm feeling I need the Vit. C more than the CPs. Plus, with what I am reading of some people's negative CP results ...

I don't know that I had negative results from CPs but I also don't know that I had much positive that I can attribute to it. Of course, it's hard to figure out what does what but considering the expense of CPs, I don't know that I will replace the GHK ...

I guess I'm rambling.... trying to figure out my next step. One is getting a longer dermaroller than my original Leaf & Rusher .25mm - probably a .5mm and trying to use it daily to help the actives penetrate. And getting a 1.5mm one for more infrequent rolling. Bad Grin

Also looking at bumping up my Vit. C and perhaps, moving up to retin-A from retinol.

lunarmm...not to totally confuse you, but take a look at Glymed Plus on EDS. When I worked in a salon I used this professional line. It has great skin remodeling benefits. Last month I order: Glymed Plus Activator, Treatment Cream, Hydrator and Vital A. Vital A is the only retinol product that causes no whiteheads on my chin. Think

I have been using AlphaDerma a very long time and need some strong actives. I have always been impressed with Glymed and find the prices extremely reasonable.

BTW I would love to try a Dermaroller. As soon as L&R come out with their new one I think I will give it a go. Smile

I need to find the time to do a review on each product I am using.

I am 31, does this line suit me?

free skin care · Mon Sep 07, 2009 7:01 am

I can only put on the eye serum at night. If I put it on in the morning and then I put the concealer on, the coverup looks very cakey. I am not sure if this stuff works on lifting my eye. I will not buy it again.

I think this line is suitable for ladies at the age between 35-60. You are so young, and you do not have to use such anti-wrinkle products.

Thanks for sharing, everyone!
I am quite interested in this products and always want to have a try. Put it on my shopping list.

free skin care · Tue Oct 20, 2009 6:58 am

Having bought this for my mom and thinking of using it myself... I don't understand the why at for 35 and up ??

I'll just have to order another and wait.
