I was thinking of trying the Elysée Day & Night Age-Defying Set with

1 oz. CollaBoost-1,3 Skin Firming Creme
2 fl. oz. Firmance Pycnogenol Firming Serum
2 fl. oz. Fountain of Youth Soothing Line Diminishing Gel
1 oz. Youthspan Facial Resurrection Night Creme

Any reviews? TIA

I tried the Fountain of Youth years ago and am pretty sure I actually saw some difference. This and Gold Bonds neck and chest lotion are the only things I've ever tried that I noticed some difference. Not a lot but some and that's saying a lot, more than any expensive or drug store brand.

The only reason I stopped was just because of cost and nothing is a miracle cream or lotion really.

I’ve only tried the Fountain of Youth gel and Pynogenol gel on your list and I was pleased with the results. I would order again for sure.

If you get a kit the price is pretty good.

I think Elysee is an unsung line that has many fine products. I can’t say that about every item, but I’m very pleased with those I use. I happened upon an Elysee presentation probably 2 yrs. ago, when the TTV was 2 oz. bottles of the Firmance Serum, Fountain of Youth Gel, and Youth Resurrection Serum for $69.95. Auto-ship was offered so I chose that option. I’ve been using these products as part of my AM routine ever since. At my age, peptides are my friend and I was impressed that the FOY serum has 40%. It was the only one I was aware of until Dimitri James/Skinn Cosmetics introduced the Pep 40 Serum, which is now part of my PM routine. I also appreciate that the pycnogenol serum test results show it as being more effective than Vitamin C. I was a very happy Mad Hippie Vit. C user who would have been happy to stick with it until I heard this information. I find the a Youth Resurrectiom Serum to be nice and penetrating around the eyes and enough moisture for me in the AM before applying a BB/CC cream.

I agree with a previous poster, the Flawless Face Lift (white colored serum), the Pycnogenol Firming Serum (reddish colored serum) and the Fountain of Youth Soothing Line Dimishing Gel (bluish colored serum), are EXCELLENT! They were on autoship as set in the past and I have used them for years.

In my opinion the FOY has been around for so very long, it needs to be updated and upgraded, it is the old and original argerinline and matrixyl of yesteryear. so many new peptides have been introduced since then. Pycnogenol is a deritive of salicylic acid, nothing unusual there either.

I do like the Elyesee Luninacai facial scrub.

I have this kit on autoship, probably 3 yrs, & before that just the two serums on autoship for a good while. When you've used something for a long time it's hard to say it's a miracle worker but I am pleased with what I see & haven't wanted to quit. The only lines that really bug me are a few above my lip - a few crinkles around my eyes don't bother me. I've used different Elysee moisturizers & like them all but the two in this kit are really good.

I have used Elysee for a long long time and have the 3 serrums on autoship and get various moisturizers and eye creams on sale. but the 3 serums are a staple. I like to add in the Perlier Imperial Honey stuff with it, and sometimes I use Reclaim'

the best new thing I tried in Elysee were the old queen of beauty night balm and the honey day cream which I love!

The serums and creams are updated regularly with the newest versions of the peptides etc. Linda is on the cutting edge of what is new and valuable. She is on so many boards and is a always watching out for newest ingredients.

she also undersells her products. she says give me 28 days, she gives realistic expectations. she doesn't sell hope in a jar. If you look at her photo she has aging on her, she is 78! but wow, beautiful skin.so yes, I have used Elysee for 20 years or so and am not tempted by Perricone or any other high price creams. sticking to what I think is a good value to me.

goood luck with your skincare routine-whatever you choose.

"Pycnogenol is a deritive of salicylic acid." They are Not derivied from one another. Pycnogenol is from pine trees and protects tissue proteins and stimulates new collagen and hyaluronic acid in human skin. Where as

Salicylic acid is a gentle acid derived from the bark of the willow tree.

Salicylic acid is a popular treatment for acne, and is used in chemical peels to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, blemishes, and sun damage. Salicylic acid peels can also help keep pores clean to treat and prevent acne. Different ingredients, different products.

The reason many people like the FOY is because it has the original Matrixyl.

Original Matrixyl never did s thing for me, tried it many times. peptides have come a long way since then. Also, Elysee still uses parabens. It is time for some updates!!
