| Ugh...my face is really red from using Retin A too soon after rolling. I am waiting for my RL to show up and hopefully reduce some of that before I head out of town for work on Sunday. |

So, after trying both Reluma and ISCO Lifeline, I have decided I prefer Lifeline. I find the texture and smell much nicer, it sinks in much better, and while it is a bit drying I have decided I'll just apply a moisturiser afterwards - which is after all what I'm doing with Reluma.
While I didn't like the Reluma serum (smells like off meat!) and cream (smears rather than sinks in), I must say I'm mad about the cleanser! I love the smell and creamy foam!
In terms of results, my skin looked better in the morning after Reluma, but that may be because of the extra moisturiser. I'm going to order some Valmont cream to use with the Lifeline as I suspect it will give the same effect.
I also didn't like that the serum was sticky afterwards. I know some have said it's only for a minute or so, but on me it stayed sticky longer than that, and when I looked in a magnify mirror last night I was horrified at the amount of blackheads around my nose! I'm not blaming the serum directly, but I think if your skin stays sticky and you touch it later with fingers that may be dusty from touching other things (that magazine that's been lying by your bed untouched for a week,etc), you can clog your pores more easily. |

The lifeline has many happy users, with really good results, so I am glad you like it.
Isn't it funny how people find different things with products. I have never used lifeline so could not compare.
I am a happy reluma user all three products and I love them all. I have never noticed a smell, nobody else has mentioned it either. You must have a super sensative nose or maybe a bad batch. Infact I would have sent mine back if it smelled that bad. I like the consistancy of the cream and serum, I do not find it sticky. I adore the cleanser.
I guess that is why there are so many different products talked about on EDS. We all like and need different things. |

I'd send your ReLuma back, sounds like you got a bad set. Mine has zero smell. I'd be upset and want my money back! I could never put anything on my face that smelled as you describe. YUCK. I kinda agree with you on the cream, it does smear on my face but within seconds its gone.
I am glad your liking Lifeline, Pandal loves it too. I look forward to your reviews. |

Ditto, I agree on all, I have 2 sets and all smell fine, actually very little odor at all which is part of the appeal for me! |

| I don't think it's off - it doesn't reek, just a very subtle smell of... nasty... when I rub it into my face. The kind of smell where I hope my husband doesn't try and kiss me on the cheek just then. |

Well then you did the right thing in using a different product! I'd hate to put any thing on my face with that type of smell. I'd still send it back. Just my humble opinion. |

I'd live to give Anteage a try before I settle on Lifeline, though. Although someone said it was also a little sticky. I wanted to try a sample first, but there are no longer any to be had. Don't think I'll buy without trying first.
BTW - although my review of Reluma may sound a bit negative, it's in comparison to Lifeline. In general, I'm liking these stem cell formulations - although I can't claim any real results yet (and honestly, it's too soon to expect results), there is certain... niceness... about my skin that I can't quite put my finger on. Whichever brand I choose in the long run, I think I'm staying on the stem cell train. |

I don't read them as negative, we all react differently to different products. Not everyone is going to love any of or all of these. It sounds like Lifeline works for you, I do know those that have had great results with it, it takes time to see them, but once they do, they love it. |

I also have a smell to the serum, but to me it smells faintly of dirty socks! LOL. This doesn't bother me, as like I said when I first used it, it reminds me very much of the original TNS serum, which smelled the same exact way, but the TNS smell was much stronger. Reluma's is very faint. |

Well that's just lovely!! I really do not smell this at all. But I will start trying to see, I am super sensitive to smells, this shocks me I am not smelling it. I get migraines on smells alone.  perhaps a good thing I can't smell it.  |

LOL. It is very, very faint, Tiny. Only when I first pump it out and apply. Then the smell is gone.  |

I agree with the AA sticky comment, unless you use a thin layer and don't put anything over it. I layered my Environ over AA the other day, and ended up washing everything off an hour later because my skin felt sticky.  at the end of the day I need something that layers well with other products. |

I am now layering the Reluma with Environ products. So far, so good. I don't get a tacky feel but I do wait about 10-15 minutes after applying Reluma before applying the Environ. I also am only using the Reluma once a day now, as I wanted to use the Colostrum and they want that applied first. |

Hows your "red patch"? and let us know how it works, I think finding the "right" mix is more important than just using one alone, Just my humble opinion, a mix might be the ticket here. |

I don't find AA serum sticky at all and I have oily skin. It sinks right in for me. I find the AA accelerator sticky and use it only at night. Love the accelerator though. |

It has remained gone, Tiny! I agree and think that it is about finding the right mix of products. |
