For many years I used Isomers exclusively and then over the years I drifted away. I was very interested to return to this line that kept my skin in great condition.

 

I tried some of the products offered here in anticipation of returning totally with this line. Something is different.

 

The serums seem very watery this time aroiund. I was experienced in using them but after a few days, my skin felt drier and my lines more accentuated. What happened???  I see more ingredients in the ingredient deck but was seeing less hydration and efficacy.

 

I need to know how many are feeling about the line currently. It is expensive and I do not want to start something and then be disappointed . I like Skinn a lot and thought I could alternated, but I am not going to spend all this money for nothing. I would love to hear everyone's honest opinion about the line. It does not seem many are buying since hardly any reviews.

Re: Isomers....anyone?

Manuelas prices are very high now, the deals she offered on SHQ are not at HSN, Sadly I think it is time to move on, unless you can find good prices on ebay, which often you can. I doubt that she will be a huge success on HSN. She was a big fish at SHQ, so well respected for so long, I dont see it happening at HSN.

@Shelbelle Thank you so much. I was feeling very uncertain myself and I am just thinking I will stick w Skinn. I value your judgment .

I used faithfully for years.

I'm using up my stash, using more oils these days.

I just can't afford her prices and honestly, when she changed all the bottles and went a new direction it lost my attention.  All the items I was use to using she doesn't really have anymore.

Too many bottles for me these days. Price of things are all going up, I can't change the cost of my home, heating, water, food but I can control the cost of all my beauty items. So, using up my stash for now. 

Won't return to Isomers. Sad to say...

Thanks so much for saying that, means a lot to me. I still have a huge stash of Isomers to use up, also have Skinn to use up. I always felt that Manuela gave us the latest and greatest ingredients and you could count on her to use quality ingrdeients, but to be honest I never found her products to work miracles over other brands. I do like her Eyelash Growth Serum and will continue to use it, I have several in my stash. 

I am using a lot of things now from Pacifica, all natural and vegan, I like it, good stuff for skin, hair, body and cosmetics. Reasonably priced.

Years ago I used several things but honestly, they never did what Manuella said they would do for my skin so I stopped buying it. I won't be going back to it either.

I only used "copper P" serum and "Desert Youth which I think was the best from Manulea about 7 years ago.

 

I stopped, don't really remember why.

 

I will finish with it's just ok, but now quite expensive.  I like her, a good saleslady but I'm surprised she did not take off and make it bigger into upscale stores like Saks or Neimans. I stick with my Cetaphil light moisturizer or Cerave for face. Love them. (I do laser) But both of them are easy for even the hardest skin for those allergic.

 

For real help, please go to a Dermatologist to see some results for your skin type if affordable.  However like everything today it is costly.  They have all types of options without surgery. It is tough today.

I've been using Isomers for over 25 years.  My current routine basically consists of the Simple Science products and a few bestsellers like the Copper P serum, Glutathiosome, Matrixyl-4 and RPur.  I was fortunate to get a lot of bargains when SHQ folded.  I also buy from the Isomers website during sales.  

I haven't used products from Skinn or any other line for quite a while now.  I'm very satisfied with how my skin looks and feels.  If that changes or if the prices become too expensive when my stash runs out, I'll consider other lines.

I use the Matrixyl-4 and also purchased when she was on ShopHq and have purchased from the website when I was sent $50 off coupon. So far it's still working for me.

the Spicules on HSN for forty dollars

It is my favorite product.
