I like the two serums pictured but don’t have experience with the cream. Have you used them before? Which products do you find have changed? 

I’d definitely have no trouble recommending her products.

I used both of these serums years ago when they first came out, saw no changes in my skin, never bought them again.

@GenXmuse

I have never used Elysee before, so I wasn't referring to Elysee products. Thanks for your reply

BetsyDoodle,

 

Topical creams, serums and oils are not capable of tightening, lifting, firmimg or reducing wrinkles as many claim to. I do not waste $$$ on any of these...but, I do take care of my skin with good cleansing and moisturizers. To get real results, you should see a dermatologist and look into Laser treatments, chemical peels. and high quality Micro Dermabrasion.

Please read the question the OP was asking!!!!!

 

She obviously is interested in this line, doesnt wish to spend $$$$ pursuing medical procedures or RX's.

 

C'mon, people!

Elysee is a very good made in America skin care line. Linda does not bring out a lot of new products, I have used the products you listed for many years. It does NOT give immediate results -other than nice moisture. but as Linda says, give me 28 days. long term results.

that is a nice set to begin with. you can use it around your eyes, too. stick with it , you will have nice skin. btw, Linda does not believe that parabens are bad, so check that out if you do not want parabens in your creams Manula also said that parbens are not bad on air but that is a choice you have to make.

long time user here! I also liked the show with her daughter in law Jennifer, I think she might be gearing up to take over the presentations.

good luck. One of the hosts  said - this is not drugstore skin care, it is very high quality top of the line ingredients that are hard to get-Linda was showcased in More Magazine as one of 4 women who are changing the skin care business.

Hi @BetsyDoodle!

I have used her Youth serum and I think I did try the pycongenol.

It was a few years ago and I thought it was one thing I've used that I actually saw results! No it wasn't drastic or miracle like but enough that I did see a difference in lines and smoothness. And that was just after a week or so.

I didn't reorder just because of cost-not that it is overpriced at all but just too much for me to keep ordering.

The other thing that I saw results (when I first used) was Gold Bond neck and chest cream which I heard about here. But the second time I got it, I didn't notice such a difference. I don't know why that happens.I know you didn't ask about other lines but those are the only 2 I"ve ever tried that I actually saw a difference.

I've also tried Peter Thomas Roth, and lots of drug store lines like you probably have and saw no results.

 

I think it is definitely worth trying the Elysee!

I never look for immediate results, you have to keep with it (as with anthing). If it is quality skincare with long term benefits of helping my skin be its best, that is great!

This is probably too late to affect your decision but if you did get this kit I think you will be very pleased with it.  I have used the two serums for 7 or 8 years. I'm 69 and believe they have kept my wrinkles in check & any sagging to a minimum.  I have the collaboost, youthspan facial resurrection night cream & the 2 serums in one kit on autoship.  I like the optimox & liposomal cream a lot too & will get them from time to time if on sale.  Give it a try for at least 3 months.  If you go to Elysee website you can sign up for Linda's monthly newletter which is a wealth of information.

I've used the three products you've pictured. They are all very good. I still use the pycnogenol (reddish brown) and the fountain of youth (blue) serums. I'd stopped for a bit, and then found both serums unopened in my stash and decided to try them again. I cocktail them with Isomers. For the price, Elysee is a real find and a major bargain. Go for it if you are still on the fence.
