Principal Secret Advanced vs. Reclaim

What is the major difference between these to lines from Principal Secret? Which do you prefer and why? Thank you for your thoughts.

Poppet, I think the only real difference is the argireline peptide in the Reclaim. Also, there is a type of melon in the cleanser (in R), which you can detect, but faintly. Okay, there is one more difference, and in R she added a skin texturizer, but I'm not sure what the catalyst ingredient/s is/are in that.

The Advanced night cream was discontinued, which was one of my favorite PS products. I prefer the Advanced cleanser over the Reclaim cleanser.

Re: Principal Secret Advanced vs. Reclaim

I love the Advanced Cleanser. I've been using it for 20 years. Just received an order of 6 of the cleansers week before last.


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

Which is better for those in their late 30's early 40's?

Re: Principal Secret Advanced vs. Reclaim

It totally depends on your skin. I find the Advanced to be a bit less emollient and better suited to my combo/oily skin. Reclaim is definitely more hydrating and emollient, although I prefer the Reclaim eye cream. If you order through guthy-renker, after your initial shipment you can customize your kits to include items from both lines. I honestly can't tell any difference between the Reclaim and Advanced Enzyme mask, but the advanced is a larger size for the same price.

Re: Principal Secret Advanced vs. Reclaim

Which do you prefer - the Advanced Daycream w/ SPF 8 or Reclaim w/SPF 15?
