Hi, I got the t whatever cream from ASDM today. Nice size product for the money. I was using a placenta cream today from Korea but I cleaned my skin and put the t cream on. No burning thank goodness. I guess I will know more tomorrow.

Yay. Sounds good. My order has shipped but I haven't got it yet. I'll let you know what I think when I get mine. Keep me updated on how the cream is working for you as well. I hope it helps your skin recover from the harshness of the Retin-a.

Thank you. I'll tell you this it has been worth every red, irritated minute with my skin, even the burning. I am almost spot free for the first time in years. Right now I just have some shadows. I will have to continue with the benoquin once a week and the retin-a twice a week or so to keep it spot free but I can almost go out with bare skin and a ton of sunscreen. It has been so worth it. Now when I get the other products from ASDM it should be even better.

Kat, I'm sorry to hear you had to go through so much pain and anguish using the Retin-A. But I'm so glad that you think it's all worth it, that you are so pleased with the results It sounds like your complexion has improved greatly.

Irishrose, thank you for your kindness. I went to the drugstore with no makeup tonight, after the sun went down, lol. It was liberating. BTW, I love PA, all my family was from New Kensington many years ago. I love the hills. Love the big outlet mall also.

My order shows to have left Anaheim, Ca. at 1:00 AM and says it will be delivered by May 28. I am in NC and I don't see how it could possibly get here today but I will still be looking for it:-) It shipped USPS.

Re: Paging myshell624...............

Katluvr58 — Thu, 29 May 2014 03:14:31 GMT

I've been using the t product and my skin looks good. I don't think I would order it again though. I also was using a product from Korea, Mizon Placenta Cream. That stuff is very dense and hydrates really well for more than half the price. I've been using both products and I was using the placenta cream before the t cream got here. I still plan on ordering some more products from ASDM when payday gets here. They had emu oil on the site and now they don't. That is like liquid gold. It healed my 85 yr old mothers cut on her arm, almost healed my BF's torn skin on his hand over night. Usually nothing works on his hands. It helped my face and my shin that is scaly. I may just reorder from Vitacost.

myshell624 — Thu, 29 May 2014 03:22:37 GMT

Sorry the cream doesn't seem dense enough for you. They have a satisfaction guarantee so if you are not happy with it, you could return it or exchange it. My order didn't get here today. The last I checked the status page hadn't updated but that is not unusual for USPS.

Re: Paging myshell624...............

Katluvr58 — Thu, 29 May 2014 03:38:09 GMT

Sorry, I did like the cream but unless I burn my skin all the time it won't get used much. It was good and it did help a lot. I hope you get yours tomorrow!!

Sorry Kat I misunderstood what you were saying. Hopefully, my order will come today. I haven't check the status of it yet this morning. I think I'll go do that now:-)

Edited to add - It made it to my local sort facility but it doesn't show if they have handed it off to my local post office or not.

Re: Paging myshell624...............

myshell624 — Thu, 29 May 2014 17:12:53 GMT

I got my order:-). I haven't tried them on my face yet but I did some them on the backs of my hands. The vitamin c serum is a 2oz. size!! Talk about a great value. It is a tad thicker in consistency than other vitamin c serums I have tried. It comes in a beautiful blue bottle with a pump. It applied really well to the back of my hand. It didn't dry sticky or feel too heavy. I think I am really going to like it. The microdermabrasion cream is awesome. My hands looked so much better after doing it and I just used my Salux Cloth on them yesterday. The brightening cream has a wonderful consistent. It is not a light, you don't know it's there moisturizer. It has a thicker consistency so it should work well for my slightly dry skin. There is a rose scent to the brightening cream. It reminded me of Perricone' s Face Finishing Moisturizer. Hopefully, the scent won't bother me. I am not crazy about jar packaging but I like that they include a spatula to apply it with.

I will post a better review after I have tried them on my face.

Hi Andreatoo, yes it is the retin-a and benoquin (bleaching cream for vitiligo). I use both products and it can be irritating. I have found that the two products together work much faster. After one month with bennoquin I still had facial spots but they were lighter and easier to hide. After one month of benoquin and retin-a I am just about spot free. A couple slight shadows but that is in a 10x mirror. I have found I don't burn as much with benoquin first then a light cream and then retin-a. A few spots get irritated even when I don't put retin-a there. Go figure. Sorry, I wrote a book.

Yeah!!!! Which microdermabrasion cream did you receive? I am on the fence about which to order.

I got the one that comes without the T stuff. I might have ordered the one with the T stuff but the one without it is what was included with the trio I got. The value on getting all three was so good. I thought it was a great way to try the line out.

Re: Paging myshell624...............

Katluvr58 — Thu, 29 May 2014 18:16:44 GMT

So did you try the t stuff one or the one in the kit? I'm confused.

Re: Paging myshell624...............

myshell624 — Thu, 29 May 2014 19:00:35 GMT

Kat sorry I was confusing. I tried the original one that came in the kit. I just did the microdermabrasion on my face and applied the c serum, lightening cream, and Paula's Choice Super Light Spf 30. My face looks so good! I am not even sure how to describe it exactly. It just looked so bright and even in tone. Honestly, I almost didn't even put any makeup on. It looks that good. I will post more on each product later. I am about to leave to pick my boys up from school.

Ok here's some more thoughts on each product.

Microdermabrasion cream - this stuff means business! The exfoliating beads are very fine but very effective. You only need to use light pressure when rubbing it around. My skin has not felt this smooth in a long time! The jar is packed full so I am sure I will get several uses out of it. I did use the spatula they included. I like that I don't have to stick my fingers in. Kat the T cream you ordered is one they recommend using after this.

Vitamin c serum - I did get the one with 15% MAP. They have one with 15% L-Ascorbic acid but my skin can't tolerate that form of vitamin c. The 15% MAP serum has a milky consistency which works really well with the pump bottle it comes in. I didn't have any waste from too much product coming out. It is also nice that it is not so watery that you have to be quick to put it on. It dried on my skin within a few seconds of application. I did use it all around my eye area without any irritation so far. It dries to a nice finish.

Skin Lightening Cream - this one has a pretty thick consistency. I was surprised at how well it absorbed into my skin. It has a beautiful matte finish that is not too flat looking. I was a tad worried it might look greasy on my face due to the thicker consistency but it is actually really nice. I used the spatula they provided with this one as well.

All in all, I am really pleased so far. Time will tell if it helps with my brown spots or not. Both the microdermabrasion cream and lightening cream recommend using a spf 80 which I find a little extreme. Both my sunscreen and my CC cream are spf 30. I personally think that is enough.

Re: Paging myshell624...............

Katluvr58 — Fri, 30 May 2014 00:28:40 GMT

Thank you. I am looking at the sunscreen, the microdermabrasion you got, firming lift serum and cream and the Q10 cream. I am on the fence about the Q10. I need to email the company and ask if I use that will it do what the benoquin and retin-a will do. If it does, that will eliminate the need for the other 2 products and if it doesn't then I probably do not need it. Also, do we get points for each item we order and if so how many?
