I've used the 100% Mineral Sunscreen and Skin Strengthening Complex.
The sunscreen left my skin looking "ashy". It had a nice texture and was relatively easy to apply. It did ball up a little at times (nothing worn underneath it). Ultimately it clogged my pores.
The Skin Strengthening Complex caused me quite painful cystic-type bumps within a couple of weeks of starting it.
Both were quite heavily fragranced and the fragrance lingered. |

| I wish I could use their products, but I've tried twice and broke out in a rash. Not acne, but an itchy angry rash. My daughter liked them though when she inherited them. Though not enough to repurchase when they were gone. |

I have the SSC but haven't used it enough to appropriately assess it beyond the fact that adequately moisturizes my skin. I don't know how effective it is as a repairative product.
The sunscreen left a white cast on me and I didn't like the texture. Felt more like silicone on my skin and never really absorbed.
I do however like the ingredients and what they are supposed to do. Just not sure if it does what it claims. |

| Thanks Bethany for the links and everyone else who posted! I think I will try the samples on my chest and neck area, and see how I like it from there! Thanks |

The chest and neck are very sensitive areas...I would not recommend using them more than every other day to start. If you break out in itchy bumps, you need to stop using it in that area.
I have had no problem on my face/neck/chest, but did have a horrible itchy rash when I used left over Nia24 face scrub on my upper arms...it took 3 weeks to go away! |

| O.K, thanks Bethany, I haven't used the samples yet, not sure if I want to now, cuz there is nothing wrong with my skin, but I do have some sun spots on my chest area, not dark spots and thought I would see if they get rid of them. |

| Well, so far I only used the sunscreen from the sample packet of Nia 24 on my arms. It does have a little bit of a scent which I don't really care for. I like sunscreens that have no scent. |

| I have very sensitive skin and after one week of use the SSC irritated my skin with blotchy, itcy spots. Unfortunately, it was just too strong for my skin. |

This is a love it or hate it line. Apparently a lot of people are seriously sensitive to something in the NIA24 line. If you aren't, it might be terrific.
But if your concern is sunspots, you might think about a strong retinoid, Vitamin C serum and possibly hydroquinone, which is probably the most effective thing for sunspots but has other drawbacks. There are plenty of threads here on its pros and cons. |

I absolutely love the Intensive Repair. When I got some samples from a local shop, they advised me to ease into using it as some people do experience a bit of warmth or redness due to the increased circulation. There's an introduction regime on the nia24 site: http://www.nia24.com/products/intro_regimen.cfm
I began by using one product on my face in the evening every other day for a week, then I started using it once daily and have not experienced any problems at all.
If you read the reviews via the links bethany kindly posted, you can find out more about the benefits those of us who love the line have experienced. For me, these include clearer complexion, less noticeable pores, fading of sunspots and the skin just generally looking better. |

I am trying this line out on my chest, which is very sun-damaged.
I got little packet samples from SpaceNK, and after using them, I purchased the trial kit from EDS.
When using the sample packets, I found I didn't care for the sunscreen, so I have the unopened, unused tube of sunscreen from the trial kit which I am offering free of charge to the first person (in the UK) who would like to have it. Please contact me via PM. |

| I tried the sunscreen and I definitely don't like it. It's a bit too drying for me and it actually makes dry patches on the skin! I havne't tried anything else though, but the sunscreen has already turned me off =/ |

I am using the cream for my chest - it seems to be doing good things there, but I can't abide the smell, so I definately won't repurchase.
I'm not using Nia24 on my face as I don't want to smell it all day - also, I initially tried the original moisturiser sample on my face and I got a scattered outbreak on my face on the 2nd day. The Valmont renewal face pack sorted that out right away, and I haven't used Nia on my face since. |

Funny you should mention the scent as I don't care for the scent of this one either. Too pungent and lingering. Glad to see I am not alone in that! |
