Does anyone have any thoughts about these lines or any beauty recommendations for either or?

Thanks for any input...I am 70 with mature skin

@sandylu - I have never tried any Tula products but I have used a few things from M. Asam. If you don't like fragrance in your skincare, I would have to steer you away from M. Asam's creams and lotions. That said, fragrance doesn't bother me and the products I've used smell really good besides feeling good and working nicely. I've even purchased some of their cologne. If you're still interested in M. Asam, you picked a good time. They're on HSN this week, and have special pricing and free shipping.

I tried M Asam years ago. I don't remember not liking it, but apparently didn't like it enough to continue using it.

I recently tried the TULA line and returned it. It clogged my pores.

I hope others offer their experiences, but these were mine.

I am 64 with mature skin.

I think I tried M. Asam years ago and it broke me out even though I hadn't had a break out in many years. Been using Tula since the TSV came out. I thought it was great, but now not so sure. Also, ordered the Tula neck cream and, again, don't see anything good happening. I am glad to see this thread. Been surprised that there hasn't been much discussion of Tula here.

I've liked many Adam products. The vino gold line, and the aqua line, as well as the cleansers. The only thing, as I've said before, is to read the ingredients. Seems he has cut quality , and adds vegetable oil to some of his products. One product I especially loved, and saw nice results was the aqua intense serum...its a hyaluronic, that was high on the ingredients. I as well as daughters had this on auto ship, it was that good! But after time, it didn't perform as well, and flaked on skin, and ingredients changed. So I haven't ordered in verrry long time, especially after seeing vegetable oil. I do still love his fragrances, and have ordered the No 1 parfum many times...now that's a long lasting fragrance that doesn't smell cheap in any way. I'd like to try the new one, that supposedly smells like the vinolift line...but it may be a bit sweet for my liking. So, basically I'm saying...read the ingredients, and if you don't mind veg. Oil...then try it. I'm out on that.

I have tried the Tula 3 piece set, moisturizer, serum and mask, for about 6 weeks. Have not notice any improvements

@sandylu I have not tried M Asam. But I did order the Tula TSV a while back. Tula products do have a strong scent. Some reviewers really couldn't stand it, but the scent didn't bother me and it dissipates pretty quickly. Initially I really liked it, but after using it for a while, I feel it feels a little oily for my oily skin. So, the jury is still out for me on Tula. I think I need to try it a little longer to see if I really like it or not.

I have very little experience with M. Asam. I tried their neck cream and it was fine but I wasn't wowed.

Since the Tula TSV I have been using this line steadily and enjoying the results. I purchased the cleanser separately on Amazon (the Q was sold out) and I think it is one of my very favorite cleansing products of all time. The scent is amazing and I feel clean without feeling striped. The exfoliating mask has done great things for the pores on my nose. But my favorite thing about the line -- and I don't know if this is the Tula serum or the day and night moisturizer -- but I have seen a noticeable softening of the 11 lines between my eyes. I have tried many, many products on these lines. I even tried the 'Frownies' products. Nothing has worked as well as Tula. The lines are certainly not gone -- but they are noticeably better. That is my experience.

I've tried M. Asam and thought the line was okay. I have the Tula Day/Night cream, which I love for warmer weather. It feels so good, is light in texture, but keeps my dry skin moisturized. About 2 months ago, I added the small kit with the eye serum, deep wrinkle serum, day/night moisturizer and cleanser. I haven't tried the cleanser yet, but I liked the other products so much that I sent a kit to my sister, who has sensitive skin. She LOVES it.

I'm at the point I don't expect miracles. I just want my skin to feel good and stay moisturized. If it can help prevent further aging, great...... not sure what really does that.

Currently, I'd lean toward Tula. BTW... I have a very sensitive nose and the scent is not too strong at all, but I haven't tried the cleanser. Also, this is not the primary line that I use.... my go to is Perricone.

EDITED: I like Tula enough that I just purchased the newest PRESSED SERUM product, and am waiting for delivery (which is taking its sweet time!).

Thanks again to everyone. I am about 60-40 on Tula. Their CS is very good and they are responsive. I really like that there is someone to call with questions. It is expensive but I will wait until end of day today and then make a decision.

At this point it might be Tula.......I will not put vegetable oil on my skin....ugh

@sandylu They are expensive, but the Beauty IQ Steal is a really great price (3 pieces for $54).

@sandylu, Not all M. Asam creams contain vegetable oil. You should really check ingredients for yourself so that you can learn what things your skin seems to like or not. I personally think M. Asam is a good line with quality products. HSN makes the pricing more comparable to better things in drugstores than the prestige brands of department and specialty beauty stores. My favorite line within the brand is Vinolift.

Here is the ingredient list for the Vinolift face cream: Aqua (Water), Decyl Oleate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Pentylene Glycol, Glycerin, Myristyl Alcohol, Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Oil, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Extract, Magnolia Biondii Bark Extract, Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Fruit Extract, Propolis Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower/Leaf Extract, Thujopsis Dolabrata Branch Extract, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Vitis Vinifera Fruit Meristem Cell Culture, Tocopherol, Phospholipids, Sodium Hyaluronate, Ubiquinone, Sphingolipids, Isoniacinamide, Resveratrol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Retinyl Palmitate, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate, Diisopropyl Adipate, Hydrogenated Palm Glycerides Citrate, Glyceryl Glucoside, Lecithin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Phosphatidylcholine, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Parfum (Fragrance), PPG-3 Benzyl Ether Myristate, Sodium Polyacrylate, Polysorbate 80, Butylene Glycol, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Alcohol, Benzoic Acid, Dehydroacetic Acid, Behentrimonium Chloride, Ethylhexylglycerin, Potassium Phosphate, Citric Acid, Isopropyl Alcohol, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate, Phenoxyethanol.

I'm going to try the Beauty Steal they have today. I did try a discovery kit from Tula and really liked it.

@Pecky I really liked the Probiotic 4 pc kit. I think it's around $43. I'm going to check out the steals deal now.

Just got delivery of the new Pressed Serum. Can't wait to try it.

I am glad for the review on TULA! Hearing that some thought the scent was too strong made me decide against it. I cannot use anything on my face with fragrance and I cannot stand strong scents on facial products.

I have been usng the M Asam line for years. The only product I just couldn't use was their flagship Vino Gold Day and Night Cream. It was just too rich for me and too highy fragranced. They reformulated the whole line, but I'm afraid to try that product again. However, I really like the Vino Lift line and the collagen line that comes in a purple container. In the winter I add in Special Nightcare face cream to address the extra dryness especially when we head out west for our annual ski trip.

I'm not bothered by the use of some less expensive oils, they're simply carrier oils. To me, the use of a less expensive carrier allows for the use of better and more expensive actives yet still keep the price point lower. A lot of lines hype their actives, but when you read the ingredient deck, they're down with the presrvatives.
