Thanks all! I am hoping the results last, as well. Will post updates as I notice things.

Thank you Lori (and again Tiny) for letting me know how long your bottles are lasting!

I try to use half a pump, but rarely do. I find its easy to get the pump to do half, but I forgettttttttttttttttt (blaming it on old age). Half works fine for my face and neck.

so count mine at 1 pump 2x's a day

Have the results stayed? I do hope they do, not for a good review, only because I know this has to be something you hate! hard to cover this stuff with makeup

Hi Tiny. The redness is definitely reduced. I have an area now of what looks to be 1" in length and maybe 1/2" wide.

Unfortunately, my face has some pimples now, and is dry. So, the eczematous patch, which not red (and this is still amazing to me!) is getting more and more dry. I am going to stop the Reluma cleanser and the Reluma moisturizer and just use the Reluma Serum. I am hoping it is one of those 2 that is causing the breakouts, and I think I would do better just putting an oil on top (rosehip), which I know does not break me out.

So, I will also stop the AnteAGE Accelerator to be fair and will just be using both of the serums with an oil on top. I am thrilled that the redness from the eczema is fading so nicely!

Very happy for you that the redness is staying away and the area still smaller!!! I hope the oil helps with the dryness!

Thank you, Tiny. I am hoping that by dropping the cleanser and moisturizer I won't be missing out on results! I "think" I should be find just using the serum. Thoughts?

I do not leave the cleanser on long ( I did early on) but now I just get lazy and wash it off, so I think you won't lose out there. And I've said if I had to choose one it would be serum. Best of luck!!! I also wonder if its just the cleanser doing it, since you said early on it dried you. Maybe still use the cream but add the rose oil on top ????

Lori leaves it on like a mask a lot or was, but I think its an added bonus not a must.

Thanks Tiny. I want to leave them both out for a little bit, as I want to see which one is causing the pimples and I am thinking that is coming from the moisturizer. As for the dryness, I am definitely thinking it is just the cleanser.

That would be Lori and me when I have the time I leave it on like a mask also! Smile

Sometimes a short bout of breaking out can be caused when switching from one product to another if your skin is so inclined? I know I have not ever had that issue but some people can.

Riley, I may have to test Reluma on one of my future dermastamp sessions...maybe a split face test? I am going to do the EL ANR first for you though.

Tiny, I do have a few lines under my eyes...you just couldn't see them due to all the bruises! But I attribute not having crows feet to dermarolling...it obliterated my previous lines, and I just wish I had not slacked off for the last 3 years. Sad

If you still have some lines that the RL/PMD combo does not remove in a few months, you should try it.

I think the split face test would be great way to test the products out. Appreciate you trying the EL next. I am just really curious if you will have a reduction in redness with it! (I probably should say here that I have not had any redness reduction in the rest of my face with the Reluma - meaning broken caps or the little red dot I have on the bridge of my nose, but for whatever reason it appears to be helping with the eczema, at least for the time being and I am happy with that!)

I do believe that would be EL ANR = Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair. There is the every day one and one you use for 21 days 3-4 times a year and the regular is nightly if memory serves.

Sorry for not getting back sooner, Tiny. Yes, the EL is Estee Lauder and I had asked Bethany if she would be willing to test the EL Advanced Night Repair Concentrate after her next roll. It has worked wonderfully for me when my skin is irritated, etc., and I wanted to see how it compared.
