PS.....I use Hydoshield before using any of my creams.

JLF has posted an accurate description above. I currently use the DWP grouping, and it is Dimitri's premier line of skincare. I recommend it highly and do tweak mine with a drop of Lipid serum mixed with in my hand. You're fine with Hydroshield under it as long as you dry down and absorb fully between layers. I will say that the best results have been achieved here by using the whole DWP regime as they are formulated to layer together. My skin just glows using this lineup. The only thing I would caution on is if you should decide to layer another moisturizer over it, make sure you've allowed the Crème Reverse to fully absorb and dry down first or pilling can occur. {#emotions_dlg.thumbup1}

gokat - are you using any of the Collagenesis Stem Rejen Elite products? I have been, but now that things have settled down a bit and I have time to think, I am wondering if I need all that I've ordered. Don't get me wrong, I like the Stem Rejen for my face, but I'm wondering if I would eliminate that and just stick with all DWP, which I have too, if that will be enough. Maybe I don't need to be layering Stem Rejen and Creme Reverse. It's always easy for me to get carried away when I make a new discovery.

Here's the deal, JLF. I did not switch to the Elites as they aren't rich enough for me. We discussed this at length last night on catlover's thread and have found that dimethicone is much higher in the deck of ingredients than in the prior version. Just an FYI. BUT based on that info, I would NOT recommend your using both...as the barrier the dimeth sets up will negate the absorption you would want. Also, the ingredients in the DWP Crème Reverse items have that firming/lifting ingredient that shouldn't be mixed with the original (now updated) Collagenesis products. I've been using straight DWP since the AR serum TTV and my results have been pretty phenomenal. My skin just glows!! HTH's

OT Question Please ~ The Creme Reverse can be purchased alone, and on AD. Does it ever go on sale? If it does, I guess I just don't catch it. I just want this one product. Thanks

The standalone item has not gone on sale thus far. Your best bet is get theeself over to the bay. There are plenty of sellers that sell them sealed and fresh. HTH's

Thanks so much! I see I'm going to have to make some adjustments.
