| Product: | Rosacea Control Serum with Epidermal Growth Factor |
| Author: | Judy |
| Review: | As a former skin care specialist I do a considerable amount of research before I order any product. In my research on rosacea I stumbled across the skinactives forum and read many glowing reviews about the rosacea products. Was having a big, inflamed flare up most likely due to my over zealous use of the Clarisonic and other various acids. My first ever where my skin actually hurt is was so red. We tend scrub our faces like we scrub our floors. Heaven forbid we have a speck of "dirt" on our faces. My own fault. I even went to the Dr who basically told me that she had the same condition and they wasn't anything to be done. So I changed my cleaners to a SLS-free one and ordered the serum. I'm always leery of "serums" as in my experience they are oily and I hate anything on my skin let alone something heavy, sticky and oily. I was really surprised that the SA serum felt just like putting water on my skin and left only a slightly matt finish. It felt so cool and nice. Within about a week of using the serum and the anti inflammatory cream my skin has calmed down remarkably. Could it just be that the skin barrier merely re-established itself or could it be the serum and cream. I think the latter helped greatly. The slight cooling sensation of the serum was most welcomed. I also liked the anti inflammatory cream even with the slightly weird color it leaves on your skin. I was impressed enough that I've ordered some of the other skin serum/products to try. Even though I was in the skin care industry, I always resented all the hype about skin care lines, especially the French lines that have a cream for every body part imaginable. I like the SA no-nonsense approach and focus on the actives v. the hype. I trust science more than self proclaimed wonder "bust creams". Prices are most reasonable too. |

| Review: | Fantastic cream - and the color and smell are just beautiful. I am using this cream for many months now and I can def. tell my skin is plumb and healthy. It heals fast whenever I hurt it (I am bad with the tiniest spots. I can't look at them.. I always pick.. bad, bad, bad) and my skin has a nice glow to it. I use this cream during the day, together with the DMAE serum and ELS serum + the SPF 30 sun protection lotion from SAS. |

| Review: | Glides on smoothly, protects my very fair skin. I am very scared of the sun as my father has developed skin cancer from excessive sun exposure. I'd never go out without sunscreen - and its nice to know this one is actually doing something good for my skin instead of just clogging my pores. |

When I scar it's bad. I have been using the Twilight cream, LMC serum for two weeks.My skin looks smooth and bright.My dark marks are fading and the stress lines in my face have disappeared.My pores get clogged easily,I was skeptical about using this cream because some of the oils in it. Hannah you were right. This cream is light and doesn't clog my pores.I'm a makeup artist,I work in Sephora Secretly I've been telling my clients about your fabulous products. I can't thank you enough. I plan on ordering other products. It's nice to know there are honest people, making affordable products that live up to what they say. |

| Review: | Hi. First up - let me say I am a 36year-old Australian guy. Secondly - this stuff - all of it - is amazing. I am very analytical and highly curious, so having spent hours, if not days, researching active ingredients for anti-aging (after too many big nights) I find that skin actives provides them at bargain prices. So - the serums. The most amazing is CHAS serum. Seriously - try put a few drops on damaged skin. A cut, pimple, abrasion - oh - maybe even your face - and its almost like watching it heal. From a metabolic perspective, the Anti-O are removing toxic byproducts occurring during oxidation (cell fuel process). Honest to goodness a pulled splinter from my hand today - made a mess of it with a blunt pin, so dropped some of this serum on the wound a few hours ago. Its almost gone. The DMAE is an odd one. It seems to pull and tighten, like putting wood glue on ones face, but the strange thing is, its starts to become permanent. I don't know how it works, but it does, which is scary, because with all these products, I am starting to get younger : ) note: I am testing all of them! The collagen serum is also odd - its not as nice on the skin as the others (just use a bit of anti-aging cream after - best at night) - but again - my face seems to be - puffier? hahaha I know that sounds silly - and in some ways the effect aint exactly grand (a looked slightly balloon headish at the gym this morning), but after some exercise - my whole head was glowing. The lipid oil is lovely - skin food - but I only use on the body - hands, feet, arms - but it needs a barrier cream to stop its dispersion to the environment (sorbolene or the dream cream I got in the mail yesterday). Every product is fantastic - especially the hair KGF stuff. I use this in combination with monoxidil (for hair loss) and people are telling me how thick my hair is! The hair stuff is scalp food as well. Beautiful product. The eye-cream and the anti-aging cream a wonderful as well - but I think everyone already knew that. Just want to write this silly long review because I am really grateful that skinactives are willing to offer such beautiful products at wonderful price. |

| Review: | I have exceptionally dry skin. Previously I had been using Emu oil but it really was to heavy and I didn't see any improvement in wrinkles or age spots. I have only used this for several days but can feel the difference. Instead of sitting on top of my skin like some oils, ELS sinks in below the surface. It acts as a nice supplement to the eye cream and moisturizer. I will continue this as part of my routine. I am so glad I found Skin Actives. |

| Review: | I am so grateful for the sample offer currently going on for this cream because it introduced me to this truly WONDERFUL product. I've been using the cream on my hands and arms and literally any exposed skin I can find when I take it out of my bag! It goes on so smoothly and absorbs right away. It has a very slight and delicate, clean smell which I choose not to modify. I love the Dream Cream! Thank you! |

| Review: | I have pretty big bags under my eyes for a 36 year old. It's hereditary, so I thought there would be nothing I could do to get rid of them. After only one application of Lecithin, I looked in the mirror first thing in the morning & was shocked to find my bags significantly reduced! I used it full strength over my eye cream & rubbed it in for about 30 seconds. All I can say is THANK YOU!! I'm definitely going to keep using this product - I couldn't be happier! |

| Review: | I wasn't totally impressed with the product's effect on my face (I'm 29 with deep brow furrows) & was ready to give it away when I tought to test it out on my hanging, post-baby belly apron. It was like a miracle! After just the first night I noticed my "fatty apron" was tighter & less pendulous! Now I'm ready to buy this stuff by the vat & I'm certainly not sharing it! |

| Review: | It has been over a month since I began using this for my eyelashes. I saw growth after 2 weeks. My lashes are not necessarily longer than they were before but I find it helps me from losing lashes. Since I hit 39-40 my lashes were falling out when I curled them. So this is an affordable solution! Erin |

| Author: | Angela |
| Review: | My very sensitive skin tolerates this cream well :-) I have not been able to use any Retin-A products at all so far due to sensitivity. I am using this cream for a couple of days now and have not had a rash or break out. It glides on nicely and leaves my skin soft and subtle. I have just purchased a 4 oz jar! I use it together with the 'Lets make Collagen' serum and a simple kojic acid serum (I can not tolerate the SAS lightening cream so well for some reason) plus ELS serum in the evening. I am 35 years old, very fair skinned, easily burned, no wrinkles so far. I use the SAS SPF 30 sun protection cream during the day. |

| Author: | Angela |
| Review: | Wonderful product! I have a small scar from an accident crossing my left brow - It has always been a tiny bald patch right there. This patch is gone now! It took a couple of months, I applied the serum twice daily to my brows. But now I got an even brow line again. Nice for me, as I am not a fan of full on make up, using brow liners etc.. I just can't be bothered and prefer my natural brows and their color. |
| Product: | ELS Serum: 'Every Lipid Serum' with Ceramide |
| Author: | ANASTASIOS |
| Review: | "This product works great on my psoriasis symptoms which is something I expected because it's so well formulated. Usually doctors here in the UK recommend creams that have mineral oil as the key ingredient and not much more really;but I've always thought that psoriatic skin needs much more to be able to heal itself more quickly and efficiently and this serum definitely does the job.I've been layering ELS with the collagen and the CHAS serums and I'm more than happy with the results. If you wish to improve the health and appearance of your skin,this product is a must-buy!" |

| Product: | Coffee Essential Oil |
| Author: | Bee |
| Review: | A nice roasted coffee scent, deep and thick. It's not strong like a fragrance oil, but smooth and rich. I've added it to melt and pour soap along with some coffee grounds and it makes a lovely bar of soap. If it was a little more affordable to do it, I would add a whole lot more! |

| Review: | After a "salon disaster" three years ago my always thick brows were waxed so thin it looked like they belonged to someone else. I have tried lots of other company products, but I always come to the brow & lash serum here at Skinactives. It's excellent. It works. I am pretty much done with the rest at this point. |
| Product: | Coffee Fruit Extract |
| Author: | Mark |
| Review: | After doing a little bit of late night research trying to find out which antioxidant would be the best one for me to use instead of the over-rated Idebenone, I stumbled upon a clinical study that noted Coffee Berry/Fruit as more potent. I then searched for products containing this ingredient. I learnt that there were only two department store companies selling products with this antioxidant. Priori was selling a serum at a cost of $136.00 now while Priori has done great things for my skin in the past I was not about to spend all that money on one product. So instead bought the ingredient here for a HUGE saving of over $130.00!! I haven’t used this ingredient yet but just thought it was crucial to mention how much you will save by going the DIY route with Skin Actives. |

| Review: | After several weeks I began to notice a difference in the length of my eyelashes. Not spectacular, but it is apparent. I have used for it for several months now. I would advise changing to a container similar to a nail polish bottle. It is very difficult to access in its current container. |
| Product: | Acne Control Cream |
| Author: | Cass |
| Review: | After using the Acne Control Cream for a number of months (along with all the other acne control products in the SAS line), I had to discontinue use because the products seemed to clog my pores/cause blackheads. The products seemed to work for the acne, I just didn't like the final results (the blackheads). |

| Review: | as a product junkie for nearly 40 years, started at 13, I cant believe how good these products are! I have to be carefull with the ELS serum as I used too much & had a little break out. DMAE is my favorite, rich, creamy & feels great. the antioxidant works well round my smokers lips & lets make collagen on the decolletage mainly. 10 out of 10 for quality & value which I've never given on any other products. well done. |
| Product: | Shaving Cream |
| Author: | Mark Fantone |
| Review: | As someone who has shaving "issues" I have found this shaving cream to be the best I've ever run across -- and I've tried many over the years. When used sparingly -- a thing layer as recommended -- the 1 ounce size lasts me for at least 2 months shaving every other day as I do. For those who generally use foam shaving creams this cream will take some getting use to. But foaming products, at least those that I've used, always contain alcohol which can be both drying and irritating. This cream not only is alcohol free but as with most all SAS products is also fragrance free, which for me is another potential irritant. My beard grain does not grow in a single direction but instead zig-zags within my beard line. An added benefit of this cream is that it's relatively clear allowing to easily determine where and when you should shave against or with the beard grain -- the trick to achieving a close and trouble-free shave. For anyone who has problems with ingrown hairs as a result of shaving, I HIGHLY recommend this product. If you're making a switch from foam to cream add some Sea Kelp Ultramarine to this shaving cream and you'll get added protection plus the slicker consistency of foam. My great thanks to SAS for developing this cream and making it available on a regular basis. |
| Product: | Astaxanthin |
| Author: | Frank |
| Review: | Astaxanthin is a very powerful antioxidant, both externally and internally. About 2 months ago, I started taking 16mg every day (8mg morning/ 8mg evening) for endurance and joint pain from running. Not only do I feel absolutely incredible now, but my skin also looks healthier. I’ve also noticed an improvement in my night vision and mental clarity. I recently squeezed the contents of two Astaxanthin capsules into my Vitamin A night cream for extra antioxidant protection on my skin. The colour of the cream seemed a bit intense at first, but it doesn't seem to stain my face. Hopefully I'll see further improvement in my skin texture with nightly use. I’m also considering adding Astaxanthin to my sunscreen, since it offers excellent UV protection too. I would recommend this active both externally and internally. I will definitely be taking Astaxanthin supplements the rest of my life. |

| Review: | At 57 I felt I had no hope to repair the overplucked brow that I damaged years ago. Well, I have used this serum for about 5 months. Even tho I sometimes forget to apply this at nite.. I have regained about 50 fine hairs - on the outside-end, where I overdid my 'shaping" years ago. Yes, it was a slow-ish process, but even as a person with fine hair, I got some real benefit. - A few hairs at a time! Now I have enough new growth to add a little pencil color or that creme-color. Even some fine hair makes a big difference in appearance. Absolutely. The improvement is real, the price is truly fair! Thanks SAS! |

| Product: | Pumpkin Enzyme Peel |
| Author: | Christina |
| Review: | Best product ever. A clear liquid and one drop goes a long way. I have a very high tolerance for glycolic acid so this may not help other people. Definitely not for everyone to use other than a peel. But for me it keeps acne at bay if I use it daily after moisturizer and don't wash off. I even bike to work and the sweat usually causes trouble even though I wash face immediately afterwards. But not any more. After washing I apply moisturizer then a Pumpkin Enzyme drop smoothed on each side of face. I used benzoyl peroxide (I know, gasp, horrible) but before the Pumpkin Enzyme it was the only thing that prevented deep breakouts, even with your wonderful White Willow Bark Salicylic Acid keeping 90% of acne away. Glad I haven't had to use benzoyl peroxide for a month now. It would leave brown burns. Good riddance to that stuff. I love THIS so much better. |

| Review: | DMAE product is increasing in popularity as an anti-aging item. DMAE was touted by a doctor in a widely viewed segment of “Dr. Oz” this week.

Dermatologists and the FDA disregard anti-aging says about DMAE as pseudoscience; but evidence does exist that DMAE creams provide certain cosmetic benefits. |

| Product: | UV Repair Cream - Be Kind Rewind |
| Author: | Kathleen |
| Review: | Freckles to big age spots- now they are gone. I have used Be Kind Rewind for about 2 years. After about 6 months, probably less, I finally got success. All the ads in magazines.. tried them. Now SAS has what I need, the search is over. I was finally, absolutely, certain I had dramatic lightening of my 'cute' freckles that just are not cute at 58. It took a long time to be 'certain' as I dont bother much with makeup, and I just ignore what was there all my life.I Now when I do use a lite concealer, there is no problem covering what remains! What a suprise to be done in a minute and not have to re-coat + touch-up the worst dark spots anymore! I use a very small tube of MAC concealer, now it lasts past a year. I like using makeup- when I dont look overdone! BKRW is just the best addition to SAS Anti Age Cream, which was remarkable by itself. I occasionally use SAS Sea Kelp, but the two daily mainstays are these. If your age spots are not 50 years old, you may get results in 30 days, just dont expect instant success, but YES, expect success! The pretty labels at the department stores are just hype and constant new words and new syllables! Also had luck with the brow serum- after about a month, use continually, its simple. But- at least try this! And add Dream Cream if you need more moisture. But by all means, stop time, rewind! |

| Review: | Gee, I love this stuff! I purchased it as I was entering my annual winter-time chapped-lip period. Generally, I suffer from very chapped and cracked lips; sometimes to the point of bleeding. Icky! So far, I have avoided this, due to liquid rainbow. I apply it twice per day-- first thing in the morning and again in the early evening. That's all it takes! Plus, it feels quite nice. I highly recommend it. |

I'm a makeup artist and I frequently use lots of makeup including waterproof foundation and setting sprays, I have to use an eye makeup remover first and wash twice, but this does a great job of removing everything without a trace! I will never try another cleanser (except while pregnant because I can't use the salicylic acid). |

| Review: | Have been using this for a week. A small amount packs a lot of punch. I was very skeptical, being a trained biochemist/molecular biologist, that the large molecules can penetrate skin, especially mitochondria. After a week, I still don't know that they are, but there is a big difference in my neck/decollete, not so much on my facial skin. The cream is slightly sticky on the body, especially in the summer heat. I am mixing it 50% with cereve lotion to boost the moisture and for cost savings. Thanks Skinactives for a great product! |

I apply it morning and night on my 0-zone (it's hairline, forehead and chin for me) and it simply works. I can even apply creams on my face now, as long as I've applied this serum first. |

| Product: | DMAE (4%) Serum with Sea Kelp Ultramarine |
| Author: | Lynnette |
| Review: | Hi there. I'm new to skin actives. Very excited about finding these products. When I received my first order, I think I was little overzealous to get started. I broke out in a rash where I put the DMAE serum. I since heard from Hannah that the product is not really for dry skin. Does anyone know what other product whether in cream of serum form is suitable for dry skin and will still have tightening properties? |

| Author: | Korina |
| Review: | I add liquid crystal to this eye cream and I love it! The best eye cream I've used, I can't imagine paying the outrageous prices they charge for eye creams out there that aren't half as good as this one! I can't say if it works on dark circles or not, since mine are genetic and I've had them since childhood, so they aren't going anywhere and I've accepted that! So if your looking to get rid of your genetic dark circles you should give up and just use a great eye cream and a concealer:) The liquid crystal added to this really illuminates they eye area and minimizes darkness and fine lines really disappear. |

| Product: | TCA Spot Peel Kit |
| Author: | Paula |
| Review: | I am 47 years old with very fair skin living in Australia. Back in the day my Mum used to drop us kids off at the pool at 10am & pick us up at 3pm... red raw. We now know better. My skin has suffered badly from that & I am a walking sun spot. This TCA peel is amazing (albiet very expensive). After spilling 1/3 of the container, I had no choice but to treat multiple spots (about 15 of them, so a little goes a long way). I started on my calves & It stung slightly, but nothing too unbearable. The first 3 days I thought nothing was happening, but then the spots started peeling & that was 3 weeks ago & they are still peeling slightly. This TCA seems to be doing the job brilliantly. I feel I need to have another go at them becasue my spots are quite bad. Actually I would like to smear this stuff over my entire arms & legs to get all the surface, but unfortunately too expensive to do this. So the bottom line from me is the TCA Peel definately does what is should do, but will need multiple treatments for bad spots. PS. Dry brushig during the final peeling stage helps the skin regenerate gently & quickly. |
| Product: | Anti-Aging Cream with Resveratrol |
| Author: | Katleen |
| Review: | I am 57, pale and have dry skin. I have used Anti-Aging Cream for about 4 months. I am certain that it has slowed the post-menopause issues, including wrinkling, lines and sagging, seemingly to a halt. Not bad! I now add the Be Kind Rewind to the sun spots I have had since I was about 10. They got bigger, /not 'cute freckles' anymore.- Now they are slowly fading! I am very grateful for all there is to try, and the ready-to-use products. Thanks SAS! |

| Author: | Marion Fennell |
| Review: | I am a long-term SA customer and I'm so happy with this product! I had red, sundamaged skin on my neck and chest for many years, and everything I've tried didn't change it. Within a few weeks of using UV Repair Cream, the redness is almost gone! I can't believe I didn't try it sooner for this! It may never go away completely, but the color is so good now that I'm happy to cover the pink with makeup on special occasions. Once again, THANKS!!! |
| Product: | Alpha-Beta Exfoliator |
| Author: | Kathleen |
| Review: | I am a person with 'zits' in my wrinkles. I believe continual use, weekly is the key to getting the best results. I have combined this with the Anti-Age Creme, Let's Make Collagen, and the Vitamin A (Twilight Awakening) Creme. As a result, no new zits and the old (long-term) zits are also gone. YES! My skin is truly chemically sensitive and this product makes my skin soft and moist, /not stripped dry at all. It tingles litely; I keep it on for 10 or 15 minutes with zero discomfort. I am happy to be able to use this Alpha-Beta product for overall skin support, without harsh side effects. SAS always has a solution- just add a little patience! |
| Product: | Anti-Inflammatory Cream |
| Author: | Anonymous |
| Review: | i am loving the anti-inflammatory cream! it is really soothing and calming for my rosacea-troubled cheeks. it's been a gradual process but the redness has been steadily fading and the tiny red bumps, which had resurfaced after i thought i had them beat, are on the retreat again. it also adds just the right light touch of moisture i need. |
| Product: | Shea Mousse |
| Author: | Mark |
| Review: | I am officially obsessed... The consistency is truly that of a mousse (think the texture of chocolate mousse) it is rich and fluffy. This is more of a formula than a product because it is so unique and beneficial for dry skin. I use it straight from the jar and it melts right in. Will definitely repurchase and for the price highly recommend to all. |
| Product: | Rosacea Control Serum with Epidermal Growth Factor |
| Author: | Faye |
| Review: | I am really impressed with this serum so far. I've used it every day for about 4 months, along with the restoration cream about every other day. My rosacea has improved significantly. The weather is getting cooler, and last winter was nightmarish for me between the rosacea pustules and the seasonal extra dry feeling. I am cautiously optimistic that this winter will be better, thanks to these products! |
| Product: | Brow and Lash Serum with KGF |
| Author: | Diane |
| Review: | I bought the brow and lash serum because I read in the forum it helps reverse crepey skin around the eyes, not for my lashes - my lashes, while blonde, were there.......or so I thought. After using this for 4 weeks? NOW I've got some gorgeous long, thick lashes....and they're getting darker too! The crepey eye skin has improved......but I can't say if it's this serum, or all the other wonderful SAS products I am using! |
| Product: | Lip Collagen Serum |
| Author: | Susan |
| Review: | I bought this mainly as a preventative measure for those little incipient lip lines, so wasn't really looking for or expecting fuller lips. Yesterday, after I'd put on lipstick, I started to wipe off what I thought was lipstick that had gone over the lipline, then realized, nope, that's my lips, they're bigger now. Cool! |

| Author: | Diane |
| Review: | I cannot rave about Sea Kelp Ultramarine enough! I wash my face with it right out of the jar.....leaves your skin so soft and radiant! I mix a dab with my shampoo when I wash my hair.......WOW! I don't need any other products (I have straight, fine, color-treated hair) because the Ultramarine makes my hair shiney, healthy and full of body.....it's amazing! |
| Product: | Coffee Antioxidant Cream |
| Author: | Judith |
| Review: | I continue to appreciate the Coffee Fruit Cream paired with the CHAS serum. It is indeed "every antioxidant you have ever wanted" cream and continues to help my skin look years younger. No overnight miracles, but considerably less wrinkling than even ten years ago. For someone approaching 70, I am pleased to be looking so well and to have my skin responding so well. Goes to show what truly "active" ingredients can do! |
| Product: | Skin Brightening Cream with Arbutin |
| Author: | Angela |
| Review: | I couldn't take it - my allergic / sensitive skin reacted to some ingredient (mildly.. but I have so many other fantastic SAS creams that I just switched to another one). I gave it to my husband and he loves it! He has some blotchiness from teenage acne left and it does fade it slowly. He tolerates it very well! |

| Review: | I developed allergies over the past 2 years (my doctor says it is common when relocating to California), since then my eyelashes have been falling out (about 1-7 lashes a day). I decided to try this to thicken my almost nonexistent lashes and it is amazing. I have been using this product for a little over a month and my eyelashes are not shedding anymore and they are longer than they have ever been!! I will continue to use this, thanks for a great product! |

| Product: | Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) |
| Author: | Marites |
| Review: | I discovered skinactives when I was looking for niacinamide powder. I recently read that by mixing 5% of it with 2 oz. of aloe vera , it is the same as using strong anti-biotics for treatment in adult acne but with no side effects. So I bought one and made my concoction. I've been using it for 2 weeks now after a massive acne break out mostly around my jawline and below the neck, my face is less inflamed and the readness had tremendously subsided. I will continue using this for now as it is working. |

| Review: | I don't get it. I felt nothing!! I don't know if an ingredient was missing or what. But it was like putting water on my face and I felt nothing and it DID nothing. Very disappointed and I have used many many products from this company. |
| Product: | DMAE (4%) Serum with Sea Kelp Ultramarine |
| Author: | Beena |
| Review: | I don't have issues with sagging skin but I can feel this product working. DMAE is well known and contained in many beauty products. This is a decent product for those who have sagging skin-anywhere on their body. |
| Product: | DMAE (4%) Serum with Sea Kelp Ultramarine |
| Author: | Sarana |
| Review: | I don't usually leave reviews but I have to say this is my favorite serum and really firms and lifts right away. I have done away with all the other lifting brands I've tried and use this exclusively. I don't use it in my chin area which tends to be dry and starts to flake if I use too much. |
| Product: | 4-Ethoxybenzaldehyde |
| Author: | Lorena |
| Review: | I found out this was the active ingredient in SkinMedica's CalmPlex. Calmplex did actually reduce my redness somewhat, but it was in a nasty stinking mineral oil base. I bought the 4-Ethoxybenzaldehyde here and added it to my own plain Rachel Perry moisturizer. It works just as well and no sticky stinky $80 CalmPlex. Now I am buying a cream from SAS to add the 4-Ethoxybenzaldehyde and Niacinamide to. Thanks for a simple, affordable alternative to the overpriced skin care sold in spas and doctor's offices. |
| Product: | Anti-Aging Cream with Resveratrol |
| Author: | Anonymous |
| Review: | I gave it to my mum to use. Her skin is normal to dry. Visible wrinkles around the eyes only. It is germane to mention that she reacts adversely to nearly every topical she tries eg breakouts, a rash etc. The anti-age cream was gentle with absolutely no unwanted reaction. Her observations are as follows: The cream itself is elegant and refined. Skin has a lovely glow, goes on beautifully and absorbs readily (however needed to use a layer of her normal moisturizer over the top due to her skin type, which is no problem), a softening of the fine lines, no change in the deeper wrinkles. She is extremely happy with it and hopefully will see additional benefits over time. All in all, one of the best anti-age creams she has ever tried (actually to be honest, it's probably the best). My observation of mum's skin, is a beautiful smoothness and refined texture. It definitely has a glow. She looks gorgeous. I think this is an excellent cream. |
| Product: | Alpha-Beta Exfoliator |
| Author: | AIA |
| Review: | I got the exfoliation kit and these were included. Make no mistake, this is a peel, so it is stronger than a mask. It is pretty gentle compared to others, but my dry cheeks (with mild rosacea) did not like this stuff. This stuff worked GREAT on my hands, though. Next time I will try my feet. For my face, I think the pumpkin enzyme product is the way to go. |
| Product: | Coffee Antioxidant Cream |
| Author: | Jeanine |
| Review: | I got this as a freebie from Skin Actives as their August promotion and I'm so glad I did! I use it in the AM over the CHAS Serum and I just love it. Not too greasy, but nice and emollient. Absorbs right in and allows for flawless make up application. The smell is nice as well. I think I'm going to add a little bit of the coffee essential oil to it because I love the smell so much. |
| Product: | Exfoliation Set |
| Author: | Jessi |
| Review: | I had previously purchased the Pumpkin Enzyme Peel on its own, and while I liked it, it simply wasn't quite enough so I tried the kit. This is the real deal! I highly recommend it if you are after exfoliation. The pad contains enough solution to apply to face, neck, and backs of the hands. It's an inoffensive oily compound and didn't irritate my very sensitive, rosacea prone skin. I did use the Strontium Spritz before and after as recommended, and followed up with Let's Make Collagen. It left my skin very well exfoliated and not a beet red! As a day-to-day treatment, the pumpkin peel is great and the exfoliation powder gives it the punch it lacked before. I leave the pumpkin peel on for a while and then use the exfoliating powder before washing it all off. This kit is what it took to get my skin smooth and "clean". Highly recommended. |
| Product: | Copper Peptide (GHK) |
| Author: | Christina |
| Review: | I had put off trying this because it seemed like a big step for my skin. (43yrs) But I met a lady in her 60s who uses Copper peptide and I was inspired to try it since I thought she was in her 40s and she had outstanding, firm skin. The Copper peptide (with coQ10) added to my own cream made a huge difference in firmness within a few days. Not expecting fast results so I kept looking at my skin with a skeptical eye, but it continues to impress me. And super easy to apply and get on with my day. |

| Review: | I have always had a problem with very oily skin and almost constant breakouts. I have tried different products, and only benzoyl peroxide seemed to clear up my skin. But it also dried it out. I tried the Skin Actives acne kit and my skin has cleared up. It's remarkable. I have had one zit since using it and it cleared up in half the normal time. And my skin feels and looks so much healthier. |

| Author: | Bee |
| Review: | I have been a compulsive lip picker since I was a child and have never had attractive lips as a result. I have tried a lot of lip balms and there have been very few that actually help longer than the 5 minutes it takes for me to compulsively lick/pick the stuff off. I'm happy to report that after 1 week of using this regimen my lips are softer and have healed most of the way to looking normal. I still catch myself picking, or trying to, but there's not much left to pick at because they are so smooth! Thank you for my pretty lips! |

| Product: | Capillary Health Cream |
| Author: | Anonymous |
| Review: | I have been using the Capillary cream for a little over two weeks now. I have been using it on two spider veins on my leg that were dark purple when I began. They have definitely become lighter and I have only been using it once a day when I get out of the shower. I forget to put it on the second time. I love it!! |
| Product: | Hair Care Serum with Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF) |
| Author: | Courtney |
| Review: | I have been using the KGF serum for hair more or less twice per day for a few weeks now. I have also incorporated Sea Kelp Bioferment into my routine as a styling product and conditioner. For at least one year I have had what seems to be ceaseless shedding. I shed when I shower and find my hairs throughout the day on my computer keyboard, all over my workplace, on my clothes, and in my car. Oddly enough, the shedding has finally decreased. I am now losing 1 to 5 hairs when I shower as opposed to a large mass which I refuse to count. I have not noticed a trail of hair everywhere I go. I am approaching this with a healthy skepticism. People with hair loss must have some degree of skepticism, you wouldn't believe some of the things that women with hair loss buy into our of sheer desperate hope. Recently, a woman I know spent $1500 at a hair restoration clinic on a kit containing laser comb (retails for $189), shampoo, conditioner, "follicle spray" ( with copper peptides), thickening powder and Rogaine. It hurt my heart, it really did. It was all of her savings, and she bought it because they told her to. I certainly don't put Skinactives in the same category as the people selling that $1500 kit, but I still have to be somewhat skeptical, because I don't know if my hair loss can be helped or not. No one ever really knows. Nonetheless, my shedding has decreased. Decreasing shedding is my number one goal. Even if I don't experience regrowth, if I am able to keep shedding at bay, I will consider this serum a success for me. I have never used a hair loss product before. Rogaine is not an option that I feel comfortable with because of the potential side effects and the fact that you must continue using it forever to keep your hair. Skinactives is the first hair loss product I have been willing to plunk down cash for or apply to my scalp. That's a testament to your company and the confidence you inspire in your customers. By the way, Sea Kelp in the hair? I recommend it highly. It has helped my hair texture immensely. |

| Review: | I have been using the Marine Toner in the morning and at night and really like how it makes my skin feel refreshed and clean. I suffer from some adult acne and it doesn't make my skin break out and even seems to be helping it clear up. Great product. |

| Product: | Brow and Lash Serum with KGF |
| Author: | Jeanine |
| Review: | I have been using this for several weeks and I can officially say I'm seeing an improvement now. My eye lashes have always been rather skimpy and they are definitely thicker and longer. I noticed it when I put my mascara on and thought maybe I'd bought a different and better mascara, but no.....same old stuff. My brows appear to also be a bit thicker as well. I apply this to the skin under my eye brows as well as to the skin at the base of my lashes twice a day. Rating: Can't live without it! |

| Author: | Jet |
| Review: | I have had amazing results with this and the other skin actives products; my skin is still slightly reddish in tone, but still what most people would call normal. I can even leave the house without makeup on and not be cringing! I use this serum with added alpha bisabolol and 4-Ethoxybenzaldehyde. I also use celestite spritz, LMC serum, and various creams including restoration cream, anti-aging cream, coffee antioxidant cream, and Vitamin A cream. I think they all help, but bottom line is my rosacea is functionally gone. |

| Product: | Sea Kelp Bioferment (Ultramarine) |
| Author: | Bee |
| Review: | I have never used anything quite like this before, but after reading such great things about it I had to try it out. I've used it in a few various ways: as is as a face mask after the Pumpkin Enzyme Peel, mixed with Rosehip Seed Oil after the Pumpkin Enzyme Peel, mixed with the Pumpkin Enzyme Peel AND Rosehip Seed Oil as a mask, and a little bit in my hair after a shower. I wasn't fond of it in my hair (unless I'm going for a "wet look") or alone on my face (it dried quickly and felt tight, but people with oilier faces would probably love it that way). However, I adore it mixed with Rosehip Seed Oil as a mask. It's cool and refreshing and my face feels like satin afterwards. In the summer, I might try refrigerating it for an even more refreshing treat! |

| Product: | Sea Kelp Ultramarine |
| Author: | Holly |
| Review: | I have read other reviews which say that the user doesn't like the tight dry feeling this product leaves on the skin and that it doesn't mix with other creams. I love this product!! At first, I was a little unsure of the feeling it left on my skin, but after using it a few days, I saw such a difference in the texture of my skin. First, it gives my skin a wonderful rosy cast. Its so hydrating too. I just leave it on my skin without rinsing, and after a minute or 2, I apply a cream on top of it. I've also noticed that along my hairline, there is new hair growth. This product is also great for breakouts and eczema. I get dry patches under my eye brows and on my forehead, but not anymore. Secondly, within one week, I had several people comment about my skin. How vibrant and young I was looking. This is an awesome product that I will use forever! |

It was upsetting because it all seemed to work for acne, but I quit using it because of the blackheads. I still use the ZiTender stuff from time to time and that seems to be OK, as long as I use it sparingly. |

| Review: | I have very thin brows after overplucking in my teens, I'm now 47 & they have never grown back. I had not noticed any regrowth after using this serum for 2-3 months twice a day, but forever hopeful, I continued to use it, although mostly only once a day now, & after 5 months total I began to see some new growth so I have continued to use it daily & the new growth is increasing, it's a long time to wait but totally worth it & I can now finally get a decent shape to my brows without having to pencil in large areas, & they now look much more natural. I can honestly say I love this stuff . Thanks for a great product at a great price. |

| Product: | Sunscreen - SPF 30 Advanced Protection |
| Author: | Christine |
| Review: | I just placed my third order for SAS sunscreen today. I have so many tubes of Anthelios, La Roche Posay, Ombrelle, Neutrogena, and other sunscreens languishing in a drawer that I oughtta be arrested by the SPF police. SAS is the only sunscreen I've found that 1) leaves my skin with a nice, matte, moisturized finish; 2) doesn't sting on application; 3) doesn't ball or roll off when I apply foundation; 4) doesn't get in my eyes and sting whether I'm playing tennis or just sitting at my desk; and 5) does a great job of keeping my skin from burning. Now I do also use Vitamin C serum, antioxidants, green tea, etc., prior to applying the sunscreen. I don't use moisturizer; I find that some serums and a top layer of SAS sunscreen are all my 42-year-old skin needs. I really can't say enough good things about SAS products in general. My skin looks fabulous and I'm not spending a fortune to keep it that way. I do browse the skin care counters and aisles because I do have a slight addiction to beauty products, but I always end up putting the products back after I read the ingredients. It seems so ridiculous to spend money on products that just don't measure up to what I can buy or create from SAS. I've searched for over 20 years for the "holy grail" of skin care products, and I know that I've found it at SAS. Thank you guys so much, and please don't ever stop producing such great products!! |

Trust me, I was very skeptical, but already this morning I can see my skin feels smoother, has a little glow to it, and some pimples I had just yesterday have seemed to diminish! I am really impressed, and look forward to seeing the long term results! |
| Product: | Brow and Lash Serum with KGF |
| Author: | Julia |
| Review: | I just turned 50, and have been using the brow & lash serum for a month. I wish I took "before" pictures, but I was too lazy, and I didn't want to be reminded of them anyway! My lashes weren't terrible, it's just that mascara didn't really make much difference. Then all the Latisse ads made me wonder & surf the web for information. I passed on Latisse (price, side effects) and tried Double Lash - nada. Plus it irritated. Now I just use it to set my brows. No actives in that one at all. But in a month of SkinActives' Brow & lash serum - yes, definitely a difference. I also use the Chrysin on my lids, mostly for the dark circles, and I understand that may help lashes too. I can't tell if my lashes are thicker yet, but they are definitely longer. They sometimes hit my reading glasses (lenses), and I notice them in my eyeline in general (never did before.) My lashes look much fuller with the tinest bit of mascara - I look a like I've added a few individual lashes. And I notice they definitely stick out when I glance at my profile in the mirror. So there's at least one bit of month-long feedback from a 50 year old! |

| Review: | I like this product. I like the price, too..! Together with the other actives I use, it works well. I use this with a electricity generating device for the face...It creates ozone & oxygen. This product I add to a toner & spray on my face as I use the device. My skin is soft & this is well absorbed. It has an orange tint...so, I wash it off with cool water (no soap)after the treatment. |
| Product: | Anti-Inflammatory Cream |
| Author: | Anonymous |
| Review: | I love the anti-inflammatory cream. I have been using a lot of the actives for my rosacea with great results, but have never been able to drink wine without getting beet red. Tonight was the first, and the only different thing that I have been using is the anti-inflammatory cream. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! |

| Product: | Coffee Antioxidant Cream |
| Author: | Lynda Robinson-Stepnowski |
| Review: | I LOVE this Coffee Antioxidant Cream. I've been using skin actives products for a couple of years, and this is now my favorite. I especially like the fact that it does not contain any sea kelp bioferment, because my ultra-sensitive skin seems to be allergic to that. I am 58 years old, and I look no older than 35. My grown children look older than I do! I tell everyone who asks me how I look so young, about Skin Actives. I also take a grapeseed extract health supplement every day, which you can buy over the counter at most health food or drug stores. Grapeseed extract is a very powerful antioxidant, and I truly believe it has helped to keep me young, too. I've been taking the grapeseed for about 14 years, and I look younger now than when I started taking it. But 8 years ago, when I turned 50, the grapeseed extract alone wasn't enough~ I can't do without my Skin Actives Coffee Antioxidant Cream! |
| Product: | Rosehip Seed Oil (Cold Pressed) |
| Author: | Kimberly |
| Review: | I love this oil! I use it from head to toe. It's moisturizing and it quickly absorbs, leaving my skin smooth and silky. Sometimes, I even put a little on my hair. Rose hip oil is also so nourishing and I have been delighted with the results I've been getting. It's the first oil I have ever used that didn't close my pores. On my body, I first use Ascorbic acid crystals then I follow up with rose hip oil and I've been quite impressed that old scars and even stretch marks are diminishing in appearance. I wish I would have known about this decades ago! |

| Review: | I love this serum. I has thickened & darkened my sparse brows after 6 wks & will continue to use nightly for further results. After I finish the eyelash serum I currently use, I'll buy another tube of KGF serum for eyelash growth. Incredible price! A+ |

| Product: | Sea Kelp Ultramarine |
| Author: | Marites |
| Review: | I love this stuff. I started to used it on my scalp after washing my hair at first then after a week, I added the antibooster sample that came with it. I noticed that my hair is much hydrated even without conditioner and less falling hair. |
| Product: | Salicylic Wash |
| Author: | Jean |
| Review: | I love this wash! It is gentle, odorless, and contains sea kelp bioferment. It feels so smooth while washing your face (almost like you aren't washing your face) but it really works! It is nice to find a gentle cleanser that isn't drying and won't break out my skin. Thanks SAS! |
| Product: | DMAE Bitartrate |
| Author: | TINA |
| Review: | I LOVE to add this to a spray small spray bottle with Aloe and use as a face toner. The DMAE makes the Aloe watery so it sprays well. I also add some GAMMA and Dermagen & a drop or 2 of the ANTI-OX to it, just a little, to give it a boost and I spray it on whenever I don't have any make-up on. Great stuff. |
| Product: | UV Repair Cream - Be Kind Rewind |
| Author: | Melinda Steed |
| Review: | I noticed results immediately on the sun damaged spots on my upper lip. Nice place for brown spots, eh? They have reduced in size and inflammation, and continue to fade. Hopefully, will be gone with perseverance. I have been using this product for about 3 months. |
| Product: | Collagen Serum - Let's Make Collagen |
| Author: | Mark |
| Review: | I once read somewhere that even with the everyday use of over-the-counter anti-aging skincare product results only netted about 10% in the reduction of wrinkles. This apparently had something to do with over-the-counter products not containing ingredients at a high enough concentration... I have used this serum on and off for the last couple of years. I sometimes stray (due to marketing gimmicks) but always return as it is just so potent. This serum really is a mix of all the most important ingredients for boosting collagen production and in the necessary concentration to achieve actual NOTICABLE results!! Skin Actives finished products are great because the products are so low priced that you can afford to branch out into trying new things that could do your skin a world of good. |
| Product: | Acne Control Cream |
| Author: | Marlena |
| Review: | I only tried Zitender and it's wonderful. The best acne product. The face monsters disappear within 2 nights, and even after 1 night they shrink significantly! Pores are smaller and all inflammation are calming down. The only thing I'm not fond is the container, it is hard to use whole amount of the product, so please change that for a jar or softer tube! |

| Product: | Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) |
| Author: | Terrie |
| Review: | I ordered "Niacinadmide" and "Allantoin" and added them to a nice aloe vera gel, which I use every morning after cleansing. The gel is soothing and dries to a nice matte finish in lieu of shiny; it really cuts down on break-outs, I love it! **Niacinamide, touted for it's skin-lightening affect also has anti-acne and anti-aging properties.** |
| Product: | Calcium Pantothenate (Vitamin B5) |
| Author: | Terrie |
| Review: | I ordered the "Calcium Pantothenate" and mixed it with aloe vera gel. I use it as a spot treatment on pimples. It seems to get rid of the blemish fairly quickly yet doesn't dry my skin out at all. It's so much kinder than benzoyl peroxide. I would highly recommend it. Also there's evidence that it helps prevent acne when taken orally. (cuts down on excess oil production) |
| Product: | Astaxanthin |
| Author: | Sandee |
| Review: | I purchased this little vial and I was amazed how far a little bit goes. One drop is enough for a 4oz bottle of cream. I have added this to all my skin care products, and I made a special cream for my husband who was in a motorcycle accident, his skin was torn off in some places. He heeled so fast even his doctors were amazed 6 days later you couldn't even tell anything happened. I used Astaxanthin and MSM together and I gave it to him internally too. My skin has improved dramatically I am 50 and no one believes me. This is AWESOME stuff and a little goes a long way. |
| Product: | Canvas Base Cream |
| Author: | Cass |
| Review: | I really like all of the Canvas creams available from SAS. I especially like that they don't have any of the sea kelp bioferment in them because I think my skin does not react well to that in many of SAS other products. The price for this cream is great too and it can be used "as is" if you don't feel like buying all the extras (of course, you also don't get all the benefits of the 'extras' but it still moisturizes well!!) Great product!! |
| Product: | Skin Brightening Cream with Arbutin |
| Author: | Christina |
| Review: | I really like the fast results! It's really making hands and face look younger. Spots are 50% less. And skin is brighter. I'm pretty impressed. Don't recall my skin ever looking this fresh. It's been 3 weeks but saw results in 1 week. 43, very fair skin with lots of sun spots fr for the cream to work on. Melisma on forehead. I'd tried MAP and other lightening actives before in a mixture, but not much success. Looks like the huge list and the combination of so many actives in the cream is the trick for my skin. And definitely take their advice on using sunscreen. My skin is like photo paper. Even a brief exposure makes Melisma return. Now that it looks nice I want to keep it that way. The cream goes a loooong way. Takes only a bit to smooth over face and hands. This is a great product for me. Thanks, Hannah and Jonaton. |
| Product: | Marine Conditioner with Sea Kelp Ultramarine |
| Author: | Stephanie Blaine |
| Review: | I really like this conditioner. My hair was very dry (I have Hashimoto's) and lifeless. I needed a replacement conditioner for a high end brand that worked well enough but was very expensive. I like the fact that it does adhere to the hair shaft and seems to be absorbed almost instantly. It doesn't irritate my scalp and it seems to protect my hair from hot rollers. Also, it seems to work well with them. I've tried it two ways. I have left it in and not rinsed and it was okay... I start with the ends and comb it through using the comb to distrubute it evenly. I have also rinsed it out afterwards and I am pleased with the results. A little does go a long way, and, it may need to be mixed with a little water first, (like the "olden time creame rinse" of the 50's and 60's). All in all it performs as well as a "high end" conditioner, and, I am hooked!!! |
| Product: | Dream Cream by Skin Actives |
| Author: | Cass |
| Review: | I really like this cream! It works great as a body cream and feels so 'dreamy'! I love all the good-for-you ingredients too! And I'm so glad that you've made an 8 oz version!! My only complaint is the price (especially when you use it as a body cream... it just doesn't seem to last long enough!!) but I try to use it a little more sparingly in order to make it a product I can afford to keep coming back for more. Thanks for another great product!! |
| Product: | Shea Mousse |
| Author: | Ness |
| Review: | I really like this mousse, I think the ingredients that are in it are good quality and it's so soft and lovely. I think it's really nice on the skin as is. The only downfall is the size, I would love this to be in a full size, it would be so nice to have a 'body mousse' (instead of greasy body butters) or enough to use as a regular moisteriser. |
| Product: | Lip Collagen Serum |
| Author: | Cass |
| Review: | I really wanted this to work but even after 4+ months of use, I didn't notice any change in my lip wrinkles or fuller lips or anything like that. What I did notice is that I apparently have pores right along my lip line and somehow this seemed to clog some of them up. I haven't used the product for over a year but I still have the clogged pores and can't seem to get rid of them. =( |
| Product: | Antioxidant Booster |
| Author: | Regina |
| Review: | I recieved a sample of this in with Sea Kelp Bioferment. This stuff is great! If you add it to your daily moisturizer it will turn it red but that is how you know you are getting truly potent oils. I'm not big on using oils during the day, but I did use it at night and I did notice a nice glow to my skin in the morning. I don't know if that is the effect it is supose to have or not but that is what it did for me! |
| Product: | Kit: Essential Oils |
| Author: | Cscott |
| Review: | I started back exercising and was so sore at the end of the first week I decided to take a hot bath. I put some sea salt, a couple pumps of Antioxidant Booster, and choose one one the Essential oils. I then turned on the jets and it was heaven. It has now become a weekly weekend treat. The essential oils smell so amazing and with the jets in the tub my bath room will smell wonderful for the rest of the evening. Now I look forward to this weekend treat and which essential oil to pick, and put some SAS Pumpkin peel on my face and enjoy the best spa treatment at home. I love SAS! Get the essential oils and start giving yourself a treat. We deserve it. |
| Product: | Gray Hair Serum with Methionine Sulfoxide Reductase (MSR) |
| Author: | randy spina |
| Review: | I started using this serum a few months ago after the grays were starting to come in, especially around my temples. After a few haircuts the grays are noticeably less. I am 55, do not color my hair at all and last week someone asked "why don't you have any gray hair"? I highly recommend this but don't expect overnight results, be patient and you will se a change. |
| Product: | European Cream |
| Author: | Danushka |
| Review: | I too got a sample of the European Base Cream and I love it as well. It is such a smooth, creamy moisturizer. It just feels different when I put it on my skin and gives my skin a nice softness. |
| Product: | Vitamin A Cream - Twilight Awakening |
| Author: | AIA |
| Review: | I too have sensitivity to Retin A products, and this one works great. I've already seen some tightening on my forehead, and my undereye area tolerates it well. I do have a bit of initial stinging, but it goes away quickly. Higher price, but the product will last long, you don't need much. |
| Product: | Anti-Aging Cream with Resveratrol |
| Author: | Michele Larocque |
| Review: | I took a chance and tried this and I love it. I thought my skin was doing great with the "Lets make Collage" and the DMAE serum, and EGF added to my moisturizer. But this product really ramped up my anti aging regime and gave me great results. I am 58 and just got married and everyone commented on how great my skin looked. Thanks. I back to buy more. |
| Product: | Ascorbic Acid (L) (Vitamin C) |
| Author: | Susan |
| Review: | I took a skin care class in which the instructor advised, Only 2 things actually work for wrinkles: Retin-A and Vitamin C. She added, Vitamin C cream is expensive. So I started an Internet search for Vitamin C, ended up here and purchased the Ascorbic Acid powder. I mix a little with water and splash it on my face after washing and WOW, I cannot believe the effects! My 55-year-old skin looks better than it EVER has and I do not need any moisturizer! Unbelievable! I recommended it to my neice who complained even the lightest moisturizer caused her to break out. She is just as impressed as I am. It just seems to make my skin "new!" I'm so thrilled! |
| Product: | Antioxidant Booster |
| Author: | TINA |
| Review: | I use a few drops of this in most all of my Toners and Creams. It's suggested in one of my "how to" papers that came with my order to add a few drops to bath water. Very concentrated product. The color will change the color of anything you put it in....an orangish color. Not a problem. Seems, to me, that most of the products sold here are compatible with eachother. I have found that I have mixed several products together in one thing or another. I have had no reactions to anything I have mixed. I make small samples to try just to make sure before I mix the full sizes. This is a great option. No worries. |
| Product: | UV Repair Cream - Be Kind Rewind |
| Author: | SOO |
| Review: | I use BKR and Twilight cream everyday, and Alpha-Beta exfoliate every once in a while, also have Pumpkin exfoliate (this is gentler than Alpha-Beta, can use it more often) and people comment on my skin being 'flawless' and 'young'..gah! I don't wear powder, foundation sort of make-up anymore (oh and I have two humidifiers in my room- it is good for your skin too!) I think all the chemists in SKA laboratory deserve Nobel Prize. =) |

| Product: | 4-Ethoxybenzaldehyde |
| Author: | Karin |
| Review: | I use this product along with Niacinamide, Azeloyle Glycine, olive extract with squalene in the canvas base. The mix has kept my Seb derm in total remission and worked well with my roseacea. |
| Product: | Alpha-Beta Exfoliator |
| Author: | Dana Radell |
| Review: | I used the Zit Ender overnite on three whiteheads invarious stages, and when. i woke up I applied the Alpha Beta Exfoliator for 10 minutes. When I rinsed that off, all three zits were gone, as well as the flaky patches and tiny whiteheads on my right nostril. My skin looked and felt so much cleaner & fresher. It was like a professional salon or dermatologist peel, only without the $100 price tag or The aggravations of traffic, parking, & waiting in the spa/Dr.'s office. |
| Product: | Brow and Lash Serum with KGF |
| Author: | Tricia |
| Review: | I used this product for a couple of months before putting it on the shelf...I saw no change or improvement in either my lashes or brows. I have a slight bare spot in one of my brows, so I would have known for certain if it was causing growth, but saw none. I also saw no growth or change in thickness in my lashes. Sigh. Oh well. |
| Product: | Brow and Lash Serum with KGF |
| Author: | Cass |
| Review: | I used this product religiously for a few months and didn't see any additional growth or thickening. I did notice that it my pores seemed a little more clogged around my eyelashes but I'm not sure if this was the cause of it. I had really hoped this would thicken my eyelashes but it just didn't work for me. =( |
| Product: | Sunscreen - SPF 30 Advanced Protection |
| Author: | Jane |
| Review: | I used to have trouble wearing sunscreen under my makeup because it was so greasy, well I realized it was the wrong sunscreen & tried the SAS version. It's awesome, it seems to "fill in" my pores like my old silicon primer used to, AND of course it's not greasy or shiny at all! |
| Product: | Pumpkin Enzyme Peel |
| Author: | Bee |
| Review: | I used to think exfoliation had to be physical. I fell in love with an exfoliator that used both acid and jojoba beads, but it was $75/jar and I just couldn't justify the expense. Never mind, Pumpkin Enzyme Peel exists and is even more perfect (and inexpensive)! I have sensitive, fair, dry skin and this works beautifully for me. I spread a few pumps over my face and relax in the tub (it doesn't really feel like anything is happening, but don't worry!). Halfway through I rinse it then spread some Sea Kelp Ultramarine and Rosehip Seed Oil... gorgeous! My skin is like satin afterwards. Definitely definitely definitely try this. |
| Product: | Beta Glucan (from Yeast) |
| Author: | Jonatan |
| Review: | I want to add, this is one of my favs and I always have some in my stash. In the future, just add a few drops of liquid at a time to make a paste....and then thin it out slowly, adding a littleliquid at a time,stirring stirring all the while until you get to your desired consistency. You will still, most likely, have some really small lumps in there, but it will be alright. Let it sit a while or over night and give it a good stir every now and then. I am in love with this stuff and it goes in most everything I mix up. |
| Product: | Anti-Inflammatory Cream |
| Author: | Cynthia |
| Review: | I would like to say a few words about anti-inflammatory cream. I have psoriasis. Only on my elbows lately. But I lean on my elbows a lot and it hurts when I have a patch of psoriasis there. I had a prescription cream that worked but I lost it somewhere. I had a jar of anti-inflammatory cream so I tried that. Well, it took the psoriasis away very quickly, as good as the prescription cream and no doctor visit required. This is very good stuff. I bet it would work well on exzema and different types of rashes. I'll be trying it on everything that needs calming and let you know what else it works on. Anyone with these conditions, try this cream, it works. |

| Product: | Brow and Lash Serum with KGF |
| Author: | Claire |
| Review: | I'm a religious user of many SkinActives products and love to mix my own things, but this product just did not work for me. I'm in my 40s and was hoping to get thicker brows and a lusher lashline, but after using for 1 month 2x a day, there was no discernible difference. I don't know enough about this to try a stronger concentration - or maybe some individuals respond to it and others just do not. |
| Product: | Pain Relief Cream |
| Author: | Jessi Clark-White |
| Review: | I'm incredibly impressed with the pain cream. Unlike most topical pain creams it has no immediate soothing effect, and it takes a while to "work". I bought it for RSI problems in my right hand from too much constant computer and mouse use. I'd invested in ergonomic mice etc. to no avail and was getting concerned because pain would last even after when I wasn't using the computer. The pain relief cream cured it. I don't know how else to say it, regular use of the cream didn't just provide pain relief, it got rid of the problem entirely. I'm careful with how I use my hands on the computer, and when I feel the soreness start to return I use the cream again for a week or so until it resolves. I'd recommend the pain relief cream to anyone struggling with a repetitive stress injury. Just don't expect immediate results like with an arnica salve, but unlike those others this is more than just a temporary "feel a teeny bit better" solution. |

| Author: | Karl |
| Review: | I'm lovin' the new Sea Kelp!!! I don't know how you did it, but it feels more refined and delicate when applying it to the skin, and yet it seems to have much more of an impact once it's on! Amazing! The first time I applied it ... well, every time I apply it actually, two words come to mind: liquid silk. Thanks! |
| Product: | Vitamin A Cream - Twilight Awakening |
| Author: | Linda Hayman |
| Review: | I'm new to SAS, and am experimenting with a variety of creams and actives. I like this cream, except for the light fragrance. I prefer unscented products, and, even though the scent of this is very light, I would still prefer it unscented. Time will tell if I stick with it. I do like this cream. It is very light, and yet effective. I have very dry (hypothyroid) skin, and I can't stand any cream that leaves me with a "tight" feeling. This one does not. I have some skin damage from too much sun-worshipping in my younger years (I'm 51). It has been about 6 weeks, and I haven't seen any remarkable results. But I'm willing to give it time to work. 6 weeks is really not very long. I'm looking for a more even skin tone. I have a liver-spot on my cheek that I wish would fade, but so far it is unchanged. I also have some melasma on my jaw-line that I wish would go away...still there... |

| Review: | I'm new to skinactives and with one application of these products I can honestly say I will never go back to the over priced, no results products you purchase in department stores. La Mer hasn't done for me what these products did with one application. What an amazing skin care line at an incredible value!!!! |

| Product: | Sunscreen - SPF 30 Advanced Protection |
| Author: | Bee |
| Review: | I'm terrible at wearing sunscreen except when I'm getting more than 15 minutes exposure on sunny days, even though I'm fair and burn super easily. I just despise the way it feels, especially on my face. However, I really liked the texture, scent and feel of the Skin Actives SPF Advanced Protection. I even forgot I was wearing it - no greasiness or heaviness. I used it on my 9-month old son as well (he's a ginger too, and has eczema flare ups when he reacts to things) and he didn't cry when I put it on and no flare ups! Also no burns. Thanks for an excellent product! |
| Product: | EMUlator Oil |
| Author: | Jeanine |
| Review: | I've been using emu oil on my sensitive skin for years but I like this so much better! I use it to heal my tattoos as well as on my nails and hands at night. I work with a lot of chemicals and have to wash my hands multiple times daily so they really take a beating. EMUlator oil mixed with the Be Kind Rewind cream works really well and I've noticed a big difference in the appearance of my hands. Less torn cuticles and split nails. Yay! |

| Review: | I've been using this cream for only a few days and already my skin looks better than it has in YEARS. I am 33 and abused my skin as a teen--baking in the tanning beds...I hope this helps the damage that is emerging lighten up... So far my skin looks super hydrated, it is very soft, and my pores are tighter already. To me, that is incredible after three day's use (I use it at night and use the SPF30 during the day. I took off one star because of the slight gritty particle here and there and the color kind of put me off at first. I look foward to building my anti-aging arsenal with Skinactives. This has been the first cream i've used that has blown me away! " |

| Author: | Maria |
| Review: | I've been using this for about 8 weeks now and I'm exceptionally pleased. I used to get regular glycolic peels on my face but stopped a little over a year ago when I felt they might be doing more damage than good. When I decided to try Be Kind Rewind cream it was a last ditch effort before going back to the ethetician....and I've not gone back. It's truly amazing. The texture and tone of my skin vastly improved. I highly, highly recommend for sun damaged skin. |

| Review: | I've been using this in my acne routine and it is a great addition for acne and anti-aging! It has really helped to fade my post inflammatory hyper-pigmentation (acne spots). This also works wonders if you get too much sun on your face, apply this serum and your sunburn will be gone the next day! |
| Product: | Hair Care Serum with Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF) |
| Author: | holly |
| Review: | I've been using this product for about 2 1/2 months now. Whether or not its causing new hair growth, I am unsure...I see new growth around my hairline, but that could be attributed to the sea kelp bioferment I use on my face. Nevertheless, my hair looks fuller and healthier. I use it after shampooing and style as usual. It will definitely give your hair a lift at the roots, which I like. I will buy this product again. |

| Review: | I've been using this product for about 6-9 months. I mix it 50/50 with a simple night cream. The results have been excellent as my skin looks noticeably clearer and firmer. The product is very economical. To get the main ingredients, I was buying two Oil of Olay products at about twice the price. |

| Review: | I've had success with this despite using it incorrectly. Brows are thicker & I'm suspecting less grey, hard to tell when I cant see the grey, but I have purchased a nasty backlit, magnifying mirror & still cant find them. I think the eyelash success was when I used lots & actually got plenty on the eyeliner area not just the lashes I've read all the reviews on the top brands but they are priced from $50-$150au so I'm sticking to this one. |
| Product: | ELS Serum: 'Every Lipid Serum' with Ceramide |
| Author: | Bee |
| Review: | I've never used an oil serum before and I'm officially hooked! I added a bit of CoEnzyme Q10 which made it even more golden. It sinks in and feels like my skin is sighing happily. I can even use it around my ultra-delicate eyes! Sometimes I layer it on top of my Skin Actives night routine for extra emolliency (and sometimes I use Dream Cream). This definitely gives my face a dewy (not oily!) glow. Love it! |

| Product: | Vitamin A Cream - Twilight Awakening |
| Author: | Kimberly |
| Review: | I've used Retin-A and Renova off and on, as well as, glycolic acid products for the last twenty years. I was quite happy with the results but they occasionally irritated my skin and then there was the ever increasing price. When Skinactives came out with the Twilight Awakening Cream, I must admit to some skepticism on my part. Could it really come close to what I was already using? I am very pleased to tell you, "YES!" Even better, I don't get the negative side effects. In addition, the generous 4 oz. size is long lasting. Overall, this is an exceptional product and value. |

| Review: | I've used this both as a scrub (rubbing an itty bitty scoop of crystals over my damp face) and as a toner as described in the instructions. Using it as a scrub softens and smooths my skin scrumptiously... this is my skin, really??? I'm not sure what results I'm getting with using it as a toner because my whole Skin Actives regime is working wonderfully for my skin! Highly recommended! |

After using it over a year I noticed a couple of weeks ago that the deep furrow between my brows is gone - completely. My skin looks healthy is glowing and firm. I was never happier with my skin. Thanks a lot for this and all your other amazing products. |

| Review: | It deserves its hype! At first I was using too much and it was forming a film on my face that would rub off, but now that I'm down to just using 3 drops for my entire face it absorbs well. I have fair, sensitive skin with some redness and larger/puffy pores on my cheeks. My pores seem to be less noticeable and my skin tone is gradually evening out. I use this at night with Twilight Cream and a bit of either Dream Cream or Every Lipid Serum. A winning and skin improving combination! Great stuff. |

At 31 I have notices that neglecting to treat my neck was starting to catch up with me. Now I look like I did at 21! I can't believe it. I just woke up one day and realized how great it looked!! |

| Review: | My first order from SkinActives, received it this afternoon and just used it on my face and hands. And I had to log on to leave this review. This product REALLY WORKS. It works so well that you might want to be careful as for how long you leave it on (it stung quite a bit when I washed my face after 20 min, but no redness or irritation after a while). Honestly, despite the previous reviews, I didn't expect much from this product, because I am a skeptic lol and my skin as is, is okay so I thought I wouldn't see anything dramatic. But after using this for the first time, my skin looks much 'Healthier' and 'Smoother'. My roommate asked me if I just came from spa =) indeed, it's powerful product (and seeing the ingredients, quite potent too). I highly recommend. |

| Review: | My hair has sadly been thinning up front for years because of PCOS, made worse after I had a baby last year. I've been using this nightly for a few weeks now. I'm not a huge fan of how it feels in my hair, which is why I only use it at night. I notice that there are extra little hairs along my hairline, growing longer even. I also feel like I can see less scalp through my hair. I started taking medication for my condition more recently, but I will continue with this hair treatment as well. Thank you for helping with my self confidence. |

| Review: | My Holy Grail cream! In all it's basic glory. This cream has been with me for over 6 years in many different formulations, and in a pinch has been used plain.I have eczema-prone skin and I now have mature skin as well (early 40s) and it had not been easy to find anything that created a non-oily lipid barrier to the elements especially as I live in the Northeast U.S. and the weather is polluted and can be humid or blustery cold. Now I make a batch adapted semi-yearly for cold and hot. I like knowing what is in my cream, and this product is going to be with me forever. I've told many of my friends about this to pass the good news along, and hear reports that they love this cream too. Of course, they all have different kinds of skin and this cream still works for them! |

| Review: | OH THANK YOU! Three years ago I developed patches of extremely dry itchy skin on one leg. Last year the condition took over my other leg as well. I scratch all day. I scratch at night to the point of bleeding. The last winter the condition progressed to the point I am causing myself scarring--Red rough scaly patches of raw skin. I received my Ultramarine Special a few days ago, mixed it with 1 part hyaluronic serum, 1 part base creme and 1 part Ultramarine then applied it this morning to bleeding sore raw legs. So far, 12 hours later, -- No itching. No pain. Soft legs. No redness. No bumps. And the skin is getting smoother before my eyes. I will be insisting all my clients, especially those with eczema, dermatitis and so on, use this product. I will be using it in every single facial treatment I give. I will be using it for burn clients and and cancer clients. For tattoos. For acne. At home, in my bath, my hair, for my teenager with dry sensitive acneic skin. I have applied it to my husband's cracked hands ( he is a canoe guide). I snuck up on him and applied the Ultramarine. It is the first product he has ever let touch his skin. He was astounded it went on like water and absorbed instantly. The ancient cracks in his hands are healing. I tried to get some other cremes on him but he will only let me use "that seaweed stuff." I will use it everywhere and for everything I can think of. I am amazed and thankful and grateful. You should win a prize for this creation Hannah. Gratefully, Robyn Hall. |
| Product: | UV Repair Cream - Be Kind Rewind |
| Author: | Lynda |
| Review: | Oh...My...GOODNESS! This is like hitting the SKIN CARE LOTTERY~ I've been using various anti-aging products on my face for the past 15 years or more. I started off with cheap over the counter stuff that you find at Walmart, then as my skin started looking older I went on to the more expensive department store lines, Dr. Perricone, etc, which I used from about 2003 - 2007. I had quite a bit of success with the Perricone, mainly in that my skin didn't start to pull loose from its underpinnings and sag and bag like almost everyone else in my age group has had happen in the past 5 or 10 years. I still have just one chin, for example, while my husband now has two... or maybe three. It's hard to tell, the second one is so big. But I love him madly ;) . With the higher cost of living, and the lower income we have been living on since my husband became disabled, I had to look for something less expensive, which I thankfully found with Skin Actives. I've been mixing SAS actives into my own cheap hand cream for the past couple of years, with results similar, if not better, than I had with the prohibitively expensive Perricone. But recently, I noticed that my jaw line was starting to become a little less defined, my neck skin was becoming ever-so-slightly looser, and the little lines here and there on my cheeks and forehead and around my eyes were starting to multiply and deepen ever-so-slightly, while my skin was beginning to look a little course and Old-Lady-ish. SO, I decided to try this ready-made, the UV Protection and Repair - 'Be Kind Rewind' Cream.I ordered it about a week ago and, as always, it got here almost faster than seems possible. Today is the 5th day that I've used this amazing BKRW cream, and my husband looked at me this morning and said, "Where are your lines? Your lines are all gone!" "What are you talking about?" I asked him... although I already knew, I had just been gazing at myself in utter amazement in the bathroom mirror, before I'd walked into the living room and asked him to look at my face. I thought something was wrong with my eyes, or the mirror, or maybe it was the lighting.... but, no, it's really true, as my astonished husband said: MY LINES ARE (almost) ALL GONE!!!!!!! Guys ~ I am 57 and 1/2 freaking years old!! I have never had a facelift or a chemical peel nor a lazer treatment, nothing like that! I'm post-menopausal and have never taken HRT, due to the purported health risks. I do take grape seed extract every day, it's a great antioxidant that I firmly believe is a big help in keeping me younger and healthier, I have taken the grape seed extract regularly for about 13 years. I used to smoke, but I gave that up about 8 years ago. I don't particularly eat right, but I drink a lot of water and take a brisk 30 - 45 minute walk outdoors with our dog almost every day.... in the blistering desert sun of New Mexico, with no sunscreen. Unfortunately I haven't found a sunscreen I can use without getting a miserable runny nose and watery eyes. Allergies, ick. Being primarily of Irish decent, with green eyes and reddish blonde hair now going gray, I have about a billion freckles. BUT, I DON'T HAVE ANY WRINKLES ON MY FACE! Well, ok, when I smile the lines reappear, but other than that, there is almost nothing. My jawline is 100% firm again, ditto the skin on my neck. I have a 39-year-old son who looks a lot older than I do! WoW!! And this is after just 5 days of using the UV Repair-Be Kind Rewind.... maybe by next week, when I smile, my skin will stay perfectly smooth! |

| Product: | Capillary Health Cream |
| Author: | Alexes |
| Review: | Once again, i can't believe i am writing this. these products continue to amaze me. I have fairly see-through skin, which means any spider veins I have, stand out a mile. I bought the cream with faint hope; so many have done nothing but drain my wallet. Well, after about a month of using it, I noticed that the broken vein beside my nose is almost gone. I kept looking closer, and washing my face, thinking I may have left concealer on it. It has been diminished in length by about thirty percent, and it has faded by about seventy. The really bad one on my leg has responded too - the outer, finer veins are fading and disappearing, but the darker veins are still there. i think that if i keep using it day and night, there might be significant improvement there as well. Bottom line - try this! It will take some time for the results to show up, but you will be very happy when they do! |

| Review: | Purchased CHAS in the serum value set. Amazing product. CHAS seems to tighten and "smooth" my face.

I also purchased Be Kind and Rewind and the Mitochondrial Cream. |
| Product: | T-Zone Serum |
| Author: | S.T. |
| Review: | Really excellent product. Works better than anything else I've tried to prevent acne - even helps keep that cycle-based chin acne at bay (just be sure to use morning and night as advised). I always buy a few bottles and keep the extras in the refridgerator - when the solution loses it's slightly creamy look and gets thinner and darker, I know it's time to get a new bottle (doesn't seem to be as effective at that point). A bottle will last me a month and a half to two months - and at this price it's the best deal around. P.S. You should extend the age category to include us fortysomethings. The nice thing about this product is it isn't drying, and while I know this may not be the case for everyone - I find my skin tolerates creams better when I use it. |

| Author: | Jane |
| Review: | Thank heavens for SAS and their SPF 30 Advanced Protection. I am an avid gardener, over 50, and have skin prone to hyperpigmentation. I've searched for years for a sunscreen that doesn't leave a shiny, white or sticky finish. The SAS SPF 30 Advanced Protection ended my long search and I've used nothing else for the last three years. It is effective, has a matte finish and leaves my skin feeling as if there is nothing extra on it. I can wear it invisibly under makeup on regular days, and as Christine said, it stays put and doesn't move into my eyes even after several hours of active wear. Even my husband, who in the past has adamantly refused to use cream of any kind on his face, now willingly wears this when he will be out in the sun. Many other relatives who shared my search use it now too (I gave them samples to try first!). Obaji, Shiseido, etc. . . eat your hearts out. SAS has outdone you all! |

| Author: | Bee |
| Review: | The texture of this cream is light and silky and it feels soft going on. My skin does tingle a bit when I put it on, but that doesn't last too long. I have fair, dry, sensitive skin with some redness and enlarged/puffy pores on my cheeks. My pores do seem to be less noticeable, and my skin tone is gradually evening out. I use this over Let's Make Collagen serum at night, with a bit of either Every Lipid Serum or Dream Cream for extra emolliency... this cream isn't quite enough for my dry skin. I make sure to use Skin Actives SPF Advanced Protection when I'm going to be outside longer than walking to the mailbox and back, and I haven't had any burns yet. The jar will last a very long time too because it's so huge! |

| Review: | The texture of this is so luscious. It's so frothed and thick it actually makes a crinkling sound when my finger dips in. It's like silk on skin and moisturizes beyond hand washing. I love layering it on top of my other Skin Actives products on my face at night; it makes my skin feel so pampered and luxurious. A massive winner! I won't do without this again. |

| Product: | European Cream |
| Author: | Beena |
| Review: | This cream comes in a white color with a thick, solid creamy feel. I saw the reviews for this product and thought that it would be a great way to hydrate fine lines/wrinkles and create more supple skin even to a minimal degree. I found this cream to have the same texture as other creams that I have experienced outside of Skin Actives. It has a great scent but once I put it on my skin, I don't feel any deep hydration- like water when you're thirsty. It leaves a film on my face and hands which makes my skin soft- but not very hydrated and supple. I would highly suggest this product for those simply looking for softer skin without the chance of breaking out. Other than that, I wouldn't buy it again. |

| Review: | this cream is exactly like creams i like to feel on my face. For me it is perfect. Actives mixed with cream and dissolved very well, even C+E+Ferulic acid, what i prefer to mix in cream so it is not as irritating as serum. Much better then those "bio, eco, organic" bases or supermarket creams i was using before. Sometimes my skin feels a bit dry, then i just put over cream with actives borage, evening primrose or rosehip oil and it feels good. |

| Review: | This cream is now a must have in my beauty regime. I store it in the refrigerator as listed on the instructions. Once I take my shower and wash my face, I use a bit of cream on my face (marine or anti aging) and then add my Bright I cream or serum under my eyes. Right before bed, I apply a small amount of the Mitochondrial Booster Cream (athough I probably use so much since it feels so good) on my face and neck. I wake up with perfect skin. I don't know why this product works so well for me but I will never live without it again. I don't use it every night since I have been experimenting with different combinations of SAS products. If I have a special event or function, I use this product the night before to make sure my skin is glowing and smooth. By the way, since using this product, I almost have NO adult acne. This product seemed to clear up my skin (as all of the SAS products have). I just purchased the Tzone serum to help those problem areas. I will review that later. |

| Review: | This cream rescued me from the nightmare of Winter 2009/10 that brought record cold, snow, and skin so dry it was peeling off in chunks. I was in an absolute panic. I've been a skin care diva for over three decades and nothing, absolutely nothing in my bag of tricks was working and my skin never looked so horrible. It not only looked bad, it hurt. I searched the internet for answers and found Skinactives, I wrote to Hannah and she suggested Dream Cream. I applied the cream the moment it arrived and in 24 hours my skin was well on its way back to being itself once again. I must admit, over the years I have spent many times the cost of Dream Cream on products far less effective. Once again, SAS brings an extremely effective product at an incredible value to its customers. Oh, and it doesn't cause breakouts either, which was a big problem I was having with a lot of the newer lotions and potions of other manufacturers. After years of overpaying for under performance, I would like to thank SAS for bringing products with such integrity and education to the marketplace. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! |

| Review: | This goes in ALL of my face creams.....!! Remember, it will thicken your creams and too much may ruin it altogether. Too much of a Good thing isn't always Good. But, the prices on this product (All Of The Products) is Amazing....!! The DMAE makes base watery and this makes bases thick. The company send a "how to" sheet with your orders. Very Helpful. |

| Author: | Kimberly |
| Review: | This has got to be one of my favorite skin care discoveries of all times. I tell everyone about it. At first, I made a toner, then I found that after bathing if I just gently rubbed a small amount of crystals from head to toe on my wet skin (I usually splash a little water on my face afterwards) it was absolutely the best exfoliating product I have ever used. Wow, great exfoliating and a dose vitamin C as well. My skin, at 49, is smoother and softer than it has been in decades. It also seems to be slowly tightening some age spots. Afterward, I put on light layer of rose hip oil and I am good to go. What could be easier or more natural! |

| Review: | This is a fabulous product. A very light mist on the face, whether on clean skin or after makeup, effectively tightens & tones up facial features. The face is gently lifted without any tight feeling. Somehow I immediately look 25 instead of 35. Great instant pick-me-up to carry around for use anytime. I don't understand how it works but it really does. |

| Review: | This is a fantastic product! Despite the fact that it's basically OIL, it cleanses perfectly and doesn't leave any kind of oily residue on your skin once you rinse/wipe it off! I've tried other oil-based cleansers and none seem to work as well as SAS No Nonsense Cleanser. If you're on the fence about trying it, I recommend giving it a chance! I doubt you'll be disappointed. |

| Product: | Anti-Aging Cream with Resveratrol |
| Author: | K8 |
| Review: | This is a very good product, hands down, 5 stars. The list of its ingredients is amazing. I actually have not seen such complete active mix even in the most expensive creams at the market. I have been using it for 2 or 3 months now, and I love it. Its very gentle on the skin, has light and cool feel to it. Color and smell are unique, I personally like it, however, honestly its not an important indicator to me. All I care is that its safe and that it works. I intend to use it as a long term anti aging strategy both day and night. For the night version, I added Retinol Acetate (vit A) to it and it has been great (heads up, vit A is light sensitive and is not recommended to use for day time). The biggest change I see is in my skin texture- its smoother, tone is more even, and feels kind of moister. I also use it around the eyes to combat the fine lines and wrinkles but for that purposes I have added extra "big guns", an additional mix of peptides to it. I do use extra moisturizing cream or serum on top of it since the under eyes area is drier than the rest of the skin. I believe this cream is designed for the entire face so it cannot be overly super moisturizing. If I had to choose 1 product of all the SkinActive products then that would be it. I also love LMC Collagen serum with it as an extra boost of vit C. |

| Review: | This is an excellent makeup remover! It's perfect for those times when one needs to remove makeup fast without a lot of rinsing. It removes makeup easily and leaves the skin silky soft. I balked a bit at the price, but it turns out to be one of those "a little goes a long way" products. It's probably still more economical to use the Salicylic Wash on a daily basis, but this will last a long time as my "get it off fast in a pinch" makeup remover. |

| Review: | This is my new favorite product! A little goes a long way, and I've found that it makes my skin very happy. I apply it directly to my face, diluted with some rosehip seed oil (only because of the strong color do I dilute it at all). I've been putting it on at night, and in the morning I've woken up to scars that have been lightened (maybe it's from the ascorbyl palmitate that is not listed in the ingredients list on the website but is listed on my bottle!). I can't get these results from plain rosehip seed oil, but the combination is a double whammy! |

It does not have a one of those defects what normally sunprotectors have! It is like normal good day cream. Before i tryed this i couldn't imagine cream what contains zinc oxide will not leave white bad feeling film on my face. This sunprotector is genious! This is sunprotector i'm going to use in future. |

| Review: | This is nothing like all the cleansers I have used in all my 52 years. This is non-foaming but cleanses my face easily and thoroughly. I can even use it around my eyes and it does not sting a bit. This is not just an effective and efficient cleanser; it is money-saving as well since I find that I do not need a separate toner, which I have always felt was a necessary part of the cleansing system, after using this. My skin feels clean and "happy". |

| Review: | This is one cream that is so versatile. When a cream that is this large can even be used on one's face, you know there is nothing harsh, and lots of what is good. Its not for some people who avoid oil on their face, but the oil that is used in it is top quality, no corners have been cut here. Its the good stuff and lots of it. Like many people, I need the moisture greatly in the winter, and also in the summer. This cream is very fluffy, like whip cream- nice. It absorbs really fast, as fast as any cream I have ever used, but the ingredients here- are all great. And there is no oily residue at all. The end (almost instant) is the nicest soft sking. My skin hurts without moisturizier For my desert-like skin, this lasts at least all day, easily for 24 hours....I use it on my whole body, especially helpful for dry legs,and also, that 'goose'- bumps area on the underside of my upper arms, and a few patches like above the knees, lower back.. Its said its partly a lack of the right oils in diet and the skin. That is a problem that has been difficult to manage, but moisturizine and exfoliation are key.. and the best moisture really seems to be THIS cream! I had that bumpy skin for years, dr Brant's Pores No More did not work as promised. But DREAM Cream is also routinely mentioned all over this site..as a great base when you want to add any extras - and use this as a (brilliant) base. But, most of the "best ingredients," all the 'stuff made of dreams' is already IN HERE. Its worth a try, when it does ALL THAT, and then its sooh affordable. Thanks SAS. |

| Review: | This is one of my ultimate 'desert island' products. I cant be without it! I've had great results with using it around my eyes, and on the rest of my facial skin, but the most miraculous results ive had are this:- I applied the Collagen Serum religiously to my stomach and breasts from the moment i began trying to conceive, right through to 12 weeks post-partum and i did not gain ONE extra stretchmark! This is trully remarkable as my 1st pregnancy left me with a stomach and breasts totally covered with deep stretchmarks. With nightly use of the LMC Serum my old stretchmarks didnt even turn pink or re-stretch, and, despite getting HUGE during pregnancy, my skin has just bounced back. This is trully a remarkable product! |

| Review: | This is really a interesting product. I tried using it 3 different ways: The first way was after I cleansed by face, and applied it as I normally would a moisturzer. It felt really cool and soothing going on. When it begins to dry, it has instant firming effect. I would recommend applying it in upward strokes to ensure you get that "lift" effect. It was really tightening my skin because I could feel my blood pulsating in my face! It did leave a whiteish film so I would recommend it be used as a mask this way and washed off. The next way I used it was with the anti-oxidant booster oil Boy that stuff is amazing! It did turn the gel red, but that is because of pomegranate and rosehip seed oil. I put this on before I went to bed. The next day my skin was smoother and brighter! This morning I tried it another way. I mixed it in with my daily moisturzer. The best way to do that is to put a little of your daily cream in the palm of your hands and then put the gel in the palm of your hands and rub them together. It mixes best this way. I would not add it to your moisturizer. I applyed it this way and today my skin looks and feel beautiful! This is great stuff that can be used in various ways depending on your personal needs! |

It's the lip-gloss you always wanted because it's as pretty and shiney as those sticky, expensive glosses that dry out your lips, but feels like -- because it IS -- the richest, smoothest lip balm you've ever tried! I also find it to be quite long-lasting; it doesn't evaporate off my lips I LOVE it! Thank you, Skinactives! |

| Product: | Skin Brightening Cream with Arbutin |
| Author: | Jonatan |
| Review: | This is the first time I've ever submitted a review for a product, but I felt this cream deserved it! :-) I'm 33 with fair scandinavian skin, and have dark, blotchy (and very stubborn) melasma on 2/3 of my forehead. I've tried other skin lighteners with varying degrees of success, but my favorite cream (with kojic acid and bearberry) was discontinued and I couldn't find a replacement...until now :-) I've been using SAS SkinBrightening Cream with Arbutin for 8 weeks and my melasma has faded to where it's only a few shades darker than my normal skin. It's pretty much invisible under makeup - yeah!! The best part is that the cream feels really nice on my skin - it goes on smoothly and absorbs quickly so I don't have to wait around before putting on moisturiser. It took a while to see results, but I'm thrilled! Thank you for such a great product!! PS I live in Namibia and the African sun can be pretty rough, but your sunscreen amazes me. I've used Neutrogena SPF45 for several years, but that has never been able to stop either the melasma or spots of hyperpigmentation from popping up. I bought a tube of SAS SPF 30 sunscreen in June and it's fantastic - no new blotches! I literally don't go outside without it :-) Ingrid (via Jonatan) |

| Review: | This is the first time that I really see the result of skin lighteners after trying so many expensive brightening creams from Japan, where age spots are the biggest skin concern. I have been using SAS brightening cream since 10 -12 weeks - first once a day 'til my skin got accustomed and twice thereafter. Now it's finally starting to show the result. My stubburn spots are lighter every day and I am using less make-up! To be honest, I didn't believe the reviews first, but I thought I would give it a try -- and I am very glad for my decision!! I hightly recommend the cream to every one with pigmentation problem - try it and be patient--it will work. Thank you SAS for such a great product, so reasonably priced! Fumiko |

| Review: | This is the ONLY product that calms the irritation of my rosacea and reduces the redness and bumps. And I have tried just about every other product singly and in combination with this. If you have rosacea, give it a try by itself in the base cream. This inexpensive product has literally changed my life. I can now go out into a normal wind and sun, without pain. It causes a tingle and some redness on application, so dilute until your skin can manage the right "dosage" for you. Diana F. via Jonatan |

I'm sure the quality is as great as the other products offered here. |

| Review: | This kit comes with quite a bit of cream (good value!), so I've also been using it as a skin cleanser as well. It works great and isn't harsh on inflamed skin. I mix up the T-Zone Serum with some of the collagen serum because Hannah advised that the collagen serum would help in lightening my acne marks. My only wish is that the kit be expanded to include a toner (maybe with some vitamin C and salicylic acid) and a day cream (preferably with a sunscreen) to protect from acne. |

One of the area that I have used it on, is where a lesion is trying to form. I put the BKRC on it and that area now looks great! Hard to even spot the lesion now. I will keep using this product along with so many other great creams that I am happy with the results - I had to write about this fabulous cream. Dream Cream great too. Good Luck to all. |

I will never trust my skin to any other product again! I use the acne kit with collagen serum and alpha beta peel for the pigmentation and my skin has never looked better! |

| Review: | This stuff is the most amazing leave in conditioner I've come across. My hair is quite dry & frizzy (I live in the tropics). It's also a little damaged from lightening it. Since I stopped using silicones & regular hair conditioners (which were always too heavy & made my hair limp), nothing has worked as well as this. My hair is so soft, & manageable. I have been looking for a product like this for ages. |

| Author: | Jet |
| Review: | This stuff is wonderful! I don't really have lip problems, and normally hate lip balms and glosses. The only thing I will wear is lipstick. This, however, is a whole new game. It looks fantastic on (very wet and glossy), feels nice (rather like a lip gloss, but somehow minus the annoyance), and has made my lips look and feel incredible. When I don't feel like applying lipstick, this makes my lips look like a million dollars anyway. It's also the world's best cuticle treatment. My lips may be fine, but my cuticles are a wreck. They are chronically cracked, peeling, and dry. Most cuticle oils just soften my skin until they absorb, with no lasting effect. I'm glad I experimentally applied some of this! It seems a little sticky at first but absorbs well, and it has a LASTING softening, plumping, moisturizing effect. It dramatically and quickly heals my cuticles and callouses. |

Yesterday, after about 8 weeks of use, I actually had to do some plucking at the outside edge of my brow!!! Not only do I have full brows again, my lashes are longer as well. Some mornings I forget that I have brows again and start to pencil in...and then quickly realize it's not necessary. |

| Review: | This stuff rocks! It does take a while to suds up and you have to use about a tablespoon of it... but it's worth it. It cleans well, it doesn't leave a heavy scent or residue, and, it doesn't irritate my scalp. I can go at least two days or maybe three between shampoos and my head doesn't itch or flake. Also, compared to a high end (as in $10.00 for a couple of ounces) shampoo it performs as well, if not better! |

| Review: | This was my first selection to try for a daytime cream from Skin Actives! I've never used anything quite like it. It's stinky and a bit gritty, but gosh darn it, my skin adores it. Dewy, soft, glowing - cliches, but soooooooo accurate. You really only need a very little bit. I use this layered over Every Lipid Serum and that's plenty of emolliency for my dry, sensitive skin. I've burned plenty of times over my life and I'm quite freckled, but don't appear to have any other visible skin damage. I do like thinking that if there is invisible skin damage that this cream is repairing it! I may try another SAS day cream after this one to compare, but honestly this one is better than anything else I've ever ever tried! |

| Review: | This was one of the very first products I tried. I needed something to set my mineral make up and this works perfectly. It's got a super fine spray that evenly mists the product and won't cause any unslightly clumping of foundation. I've noticed a slight stinging sensation if I apply it to broken skin (like a bug bite or such) but it goes away immediately and leaves a beautiful and flawless finish.

| Review: | Very nice cream! Feels good on red, irritated skin. I used this on a very deep, scarring cut on my eyebrow and it helped it heal super fast with only a minor scar. |

| Review: | Very silky! And they're right - it doesn't cause milia, something I've been VERY susceptible to ever since I started applying eye creams. I am so glad I found this one. The skin around my eyes actually looks healthier. Maybe I should use it everywhere! |

| Product: | Sea Kelp Ultramarine |
| Author: | Elise |
| Review: | When I first purchased this item I attempted to add it to my face cream, however the results weren't pretty. The sea kelp bioferment has a gel-like texture and doesnt mix well with creams. I also found that leaving this product on without washing it off left a film on my face with an unpleasant feeling. I now use this product as a soothing mask after a peel or exfolliaton, and it seems to work nicely, so long as i wash it off after 5-10 minutes. Also seemed to increase circulaton to my face, I'd avoid using it around the eyes. (Response - seakelp mixes in really well with creams it also works extremely well as a mask that can be rinsed off after 20 minutes or so. To use it on its own without filming add 25%-50% water.) |

| Review: | When this first arrived it was quite solid because it had been a bit chilly in my mailbox. As it warmed up, it softened into a firm mousse. A little goes a long way and it feels really nice on, just gliding over your skin. My skin is shiny at first but then it seems to absorb better and just feels soft. I agree a larger size would be better. |
| Product: | ELS Serum: 'Every Lipid Serum' with Ceramide |
| Author: | Jeanine |
| Review: | With my very dry skin, this is a mush have for me. I apply this over my serum but putting a bit in my hand and rubbing my hands together and then patting the product onto my face. Then I apply my SA cream of choice over that. I'ave also added just a few drops to my moisturizer, mixed and applied. Either way works well, but laying it under the moisturizer seems to give a bit heavier coverage. I've also discovered that this serum (more of a oil in my opinion) is wonderful for healing tattoos. I used to use emu oil but have switched to this and I love it. It keeps it nice and moist wihout clogging my pores and making my skin break out. I use it as many times a day as I need to keep the tattoo from drying out. Rating: Can't live without it! |

| Product: | Acne Control Set |
| Author: | Amie |
| Review: | Works! I am pregnant and have tried everything to clear my acne, and these products are the only thing that has worked. I highly recommend this set to anyone struggling with acne. In less than one week I noticed great results! No irritation or peeling, either. A permanent addition to my skin care :) |

| Review: | WOW ... blended your MAP with Canvas Cream, Antiox Boost, couple drops Tamanu Oil and just a pinch of Coffee Fruit Extract to mix up an amazing Vitimin C serum. Tried just a little from this batch on the back of my winter-roughened hand right after mixing it up -- and voila! -- it transformed the skin before my eyes, from chapped, raw and dry to soft, smooth and plump. (Yes the salts in MAP DO liquify the Canvas Cream, but since it's a serum, that's not really a problem. Would be perfect if you sold a pump lid to go with your jar, though). The mix is superb on the face, soaks right in and leaves it soft and youthful. Effects last! My business partner is so intrigued with the results that he's asked me to mix up a batch for him. I'll be adding a bit of Quercetin and a little Rosehip Seed oil to his mix, to help some faint scars left on his face from long-ago teenaged acne. Oh ... I must add that, prior to going the DIY route, I was a long-time user of serums and creams costing hundreds of dollars. None of them even comes close to matching your results! A thousand thanks from both of us ... !!! |

| Product: | European Cream |
| Author: | Rebecca |
| Review: | Wow. This cream is a true must-have for anyone looking for a rich, creamy base that will not break them out. I mixed quite a few actives along with essential oils into this without problems. The one active that proved difficult to fully dissolve in this was the Ceramides. However, with experimentation and guidance from Skinactives staff, I was able to resolve this issue by gently warming my mixture. In the future I will predissolve the Ceramides before adding it to my cream. This makes the perfect base for any neck or eye cream you might want to whip up. It leaves the skin feeling silky and plump. One 4oz ar should last me through the entire fall and most of the winter season. Very economical. |

| Review: | you have not given the ingredients here. i would like to know what you are selling. is this 100% of the botanical or is it an extract, etc. Please provide proper details for customers to make an informed decision. Now i cannot buy this product of yours and will buy the grapeseed from another supplier. The same applies to some of your elite products. |

| Review: | You have really outdone yourself! The European Base Cream is fantastic! So smooth, so creamy, so moisturizing! And what is that SCENT?!?!? It is so fresh and beautiful! I keep putting it on me just to keep the scent near. I have always had oily, sensitive skin - but have not had any problem with the European Cream. I love putting it on top of all my serums. And it is the perfect finish for my mineral makeup. So like the Kinerase creams I used to use - I feel like you made it just for ME! Thank you so much! |

| Review: | Zinc is excellent for acne & oily skin. Calms & normalizes oil production for those of us who are shiny all the time & have trouble keeping a matte complexion. Zinc in other skincare brands has always worked great with regard to sebum. Thanks for offering it to add to products that don't contain it for those of us who need it! |
