Kristals Cosmetics--Kris Jenner uses it too!

Swissguy — Sat, 03 Jun 2017 15:26:04 GMT

Unexpectedly, I found myself walking down one of the main shopping streets near my home. I was exhauste. I really didn't have any energy but I was stopped by a women outside a newly opened shop. She was handing out samples and commented "Your skin looks so good!" Given my bit of addiction to beauty products I loved hearing that. She then invited me in to the store which did look amazing! She had me try all these different products and eventually I blurted out that I needed to a new cleanser and that I wasn't happy with anything I have been trying.....

I ended up trying theirs and walked out with it. It was $200 and given that I am used to Sisley products that didn't totally crazy but it was still a bit more then even the Sisley cleansers!!

So we'll see.... In the meantime, I am curious if others have tried these products.

They were telling me that they have a store on Rodeo Drive and it's super popular with Kris Jenner! And looking online just now I see they have store in Aspen as well.

If anyone has tried their stuff, please let me know what you think and I am excited to get ready for bed tonight to give it a try!!

I have never heard of it. I hope you love your cleanser. Please, keep us updated & let us know if you try anything else.

So after 2 uses I am liking the cleanser. Looking at the ingredients I am a bit concerned about the mineral oils in it!! However, no major irritations so far and I am grateful for that. And my skin does seem a bit cleaner!!😊

Never heard of this line. Sounds like they are going for the money if they want to be on Rodeo Drive and in Aspen. Sounds like it is out of my league. I'll stick with Laura Mercier.

It is pricey! And that's coming from someone who is addicted to Sisley!

I kind of regret the purchase at this point although looking in the mirror a few minutes ago I do think it did a good job!!!!!

Day three with the super expensive cleanser!! I think I may actually like it.

The smell still seems a bit odd but no redness or irritation--which is huge.

I think I may need to clean out all the other cleansers!!

@Swissguy, My skin is flawless and it's not products but excellent genes. My mother's skin at 89 was beautiful and her sisters were the same way. So good luck with your products. I'll save my money! Really good genes are 3/4ths of the battle. Then moisturize and cleanse.

$200 for a facial cleaner that goes down the drain...no thanks!! My Purity and Microdelivery cleansers work very well for me. But I do have to be honest and laugh bc there are those who think people are crazy for buying a $400 Dyson hair dryer, but no one yet is saying someone is "crazy" for spending $200 on a facial cleaner - when at least you should get many years of use out of the hair dryer.

Honestly, I am not judging the $200 cleanser - bc to each his own. Its just funny how ones priorities dictate how much they are willing to spend on things and how they judge others choices on how they spend their $- especially if their choices differ. Lol

I am in my mid 60s, the first facial cleanser I bought was purity about 6 years ago, it removes make up well but I thought it was drying. I only thing I ever used was dial or home made soap we made with lard. My skin is very nice, I guess it's good genes. Now I do use a variety of cleansers if I have them but see no difference between Beekman soap or a special cleanser.

My cleanser is from the Alpha skincare line (Ulta), PH balanced and really does a great job of taking off makeup (nothing on my toner pads after cleansing) and is $7.99. It is your business if you want to pay $200 for a cleanser, but maybe you might want to at least try something else?

Yes genetics plays a part (mostly due to bone facial structure according to my dermatologist, inherited skin thickness rather than actual skin) but there have been tons of studies saying otherwise. Sunscreen in particular is very important as well as healthy habits. They have done studies on twins and aging. Many times the twins age differently. People with the same exact genetics proven to age differently lookswise. If it was all genetics no way would one twin age faster than the other. All you need to do is google pics of the twin studies. Sometimes the twin that looks older will look drastically older. genetics isn't the totality of aging.

@Swissguy They opened a shop in my city...live in the Northeast....All I know about the product is that it is a Gemstone infused skincare line.. Its a luxury line that not many can afford to use for skincare.

I use Philosophy with my Clarisonic. For me, I wouldn't pay $200. for a cleanser.

@Swissguy, you might want to try a good exfoliator. Dimitri James Skinn Dermapeel is great. This makes more of a skin difference, I think, than a cleanser.

Also, I've just gotten for the first time Dimitri's Ice for under the eyes. Men love this, and wow, does it feel good with good results. I will be using this all summer.

I wish I could give you some of my Philosophy cleansers.... There is something in them that's just too harsh for my overly sensitive skin!

I do agree that the price seems a bit crazy!!!!!!!!!!

I have tried a bunch of stuff, actually

Including Cytophil which I have 4 unused containers of.... It just too harsh, unfortunately!!

Is the aphpa line for sensitive skin?

I wouldn't have found out about it unless the sales person pulled me into the store from the street! Someone today did complement my skin again so that's helping with the sticker shock.

And I have often felt Kris Jenner does have nice skin!! So when they told me that the uses the products.....

But then again I have been using lots of Sisley products for so long-- this doesn't seem that much more---crazy to justify I know!!

@Swissguy Just because a celebrity uses a luxury products does not make me want to try it out. I look for ingred's that are good for my skintype. I do use some highend products myself. Its not crazy if you can afford to buy them. Many on this forum use highend products & more affordable products. I do not judge anyone for their choice. Enjoy!

@Swissguy, do NOT use the Derm Appeal another poster suggested then. Unless the formulation has been changed there was peppermint oil in it.

Swiss guy, I don't know if the Alpha skincare is for sensitive skin. My skin is pretty tough since I have been using Retin-A for a number of years and I don't break out much. For $8 you could give it a try. I also keep the CeraVe hydrating cleanser (a few dollars more) in my shower for mornings when there is no makeup. I think though the Alpha is best.
