To be fair I love whatever it is doing to me at the moment and I guess it would be pointless to stop.
I would hate to stop one and have my lines revert back.


Good for you...if it's working, keep it going!

Oh edited to add. I swear on my life this is the best non irritating even on my eyes cleanser I have ever used. Even if I hated the rest of it and it wasn't showing any results, I would still buy the cleanser.


LOL. No, really, no pressure on you, Lori. I will not be surprised if this doesn't work for me, but I am going in to using it with hopes that it will just soften the lip lines.

I have to agree with Bethany. I think it is completely pointless to stop using a combo or routine that is working for someone. I sure wouldn't do it! That is what we are all searching for - a routine that works and is giving us results!

At this point I am just stopping the gadgets to satisfy my own curiosity more than anything, and 6 weeks will not cause any major loss of results IMO!

Okay, I finally ordered the ReLuma. I live in Canada so it will take time to get here. I'm anxious to see how it will work. I won't be using anything else because basically I can't. With my ultra ultra sensitive skin I can't exfoliate or use Retin-A or Vitamin C or other serums and if I'm going to even think about dermarolling I might as well just consider chopping off my head. So it will just be ReLuma.

The only major issue I have with my skin is hyperpigmentation. I don't know if ReLuma is supposed to target that, however if it doesn't I'll be looking to see how it moisturizes and soothes my skin. Right now I'm using CDLM for those purposes and that cream does work well for me.

I tried some samples of Lifeline and that product was a complete disaster for me. It dried and irritated my skin and I had an awful burning sensation until I washed it off. I'm so glad I ordered the samples first.

I hope ReLuma is gentler Smile

My skin is on the dry side and quite sensitive. I personally don't find the reluma drying at all. My skin is looking and feeling better and better.
Lots of things make me itch,the reluma does not.

I am with you on the sensitive skin, and am also hoping Reluma is calming/soothing. I had the same reaction to the Lifeline as you, so this will be a good trial for both of us! I am excited that you are trying it, too! Did you order just the serum, Leelee, or the trio?

ETA: Just saw Lori's reply. That is great news that it doesn't make you itch, as that is a problem I am having with several products. I hope TIA has quick shipping!

Hello riley, I ordered just the serum. My skin does not do well with too many changes at once. If the serum goes well, I will slowly add the other products. Lifeline was a disappointment. I'm so glad I didn't buy the full sized products. It something I could have done because I tend to do stupid things like that on the spur of the moment.

Loopylori, I'm glad that you're finding it good for your sensitive skin. There's hope!!

Okay...I just added the moisturizer to my order. It's $13.00 off the original price and I think I could use both products without much of a problem.

Hope it arrives soon!!

My guess is you will find it is moisturizing without being heavy I am not a "cream" person but really like this one.

Depending on where you are if you purchased from TIA the shipping was quick, then if customs holds it as with lori's it could take a bit longer!

Good luck leelee I hope you find them calming!

I think you'll like the cream, its more a serum cream, it does NOT sit on your face.

Just to update, so I can keep track more than anything. While I've seen results all along, most were after 10 days, eyes and some lip line softening, the biggest results by far have been literally now, within last 3-5 days, and that is the 7 week mark.

Thank you, ladies. I am looking forward to trying these products.

I did order from TIA. Sometimes things fly through customs and other times they don't. I'll try to be patient.

Thank you for all of the updates on your progress. I find it very helpful and interesting. It's just nice to know what others are experiencing with these products.

I was wondering if this thread was dead. I wasn't getting any notifications and just checked in on watched topics. Suddenly I'm 4 pages behind! I just have a quick question, is true that after the first bottle you can cut down to 3 times a week or did I dream that somewhere?

Loops, I'm really happy for you.i know what's its like to wait forever for products, have the customs guy demand his cut and then be disappointed. If Riley's pesky little lip lines soften enuf to stop bothering her, I'm in. Of course,then I need the PMD...oy. Rolling Eyes It's a pickle. I like what I'm using but want to join the party too.

This is there directions for "advanced use" meaning aging!

For the first 3 months:
Apply ReLuma twice daily (morning and night).
After the 3rd month: Apply once daily at night.
After 6 months: Apply 2 or 3 times per week at night.

I am getting very close to 2 months use and I highly doubt I would slow down at 3 months, but miracles can happen. I don't mean to infer I am not seeing results because I am, I just can't imagine I will have all the results I want in a month. But I also understand these take time to kick in, so perhaps we can slow it down and it all keeps working. This company has been around for 10 years and this product itself over several years, so they know better I am sure.

Now is that need or want marina on the PMD...LOL. Laughing

According to the ReLuma and Invitrx sites that is true about not needing to use the products every day, I am not sure I want to though!

Keeping fingers crossed for Riley and leelee that they have success with the products. Very Happy

I've been thinking about this reduction in use RL suggests, I think I might actually follow it, its starting to make sense to me, if these go in and kick start things, then it makes perfect sense to slow down the use, the flooding the face with them is no longer needed after a certain time frame! and it makes it extemely affordable rather than expensive!

I guess reluma believe in their products. To say that you can reduce use is unheard of IMHO.That tells me they have seen great results in the last few years.
I too look forward to saving money in maintenance mode.

The reduction in use sounds very attractive to me. Also, it's hard to imagine that they would recommend using less if it wasn't warrented - you'd think that they'd be encouraging the opposite for more sales.

I think the TNS product also recommends reduction of use after the first 3 months of twice a day. It would be interesting to hear why they recommend reducing usage. I will email Marta and see if she knows. On that topic, I have to say that the shipping from TIA is extremely fast. I got my Reluma products today. I will not be starting them, as I am doing the 2 weeks without using any "actives" to be fair.
