Naked and Thriving

Mothertrucker · ‎01-30-2015

Does anyone use this line? I am specifically looking at the "PROTECT" serum-

II also use "SkinMedica" and heard it is a lot like their HA5 serum, but 1/3 the price..

So I was wondering, has anyone here tried it? Like/dislike?

BTW, for those who DO use SkinMedica, Dermstore has a 15% off on it that ends today- I love their Retinol and eye products especially

@Mothertrucker I must say I've never heard Naked and Thriving and not sure what it actually refers to...explain, please?

I have had experience with SkinMedica. It's used a lot in professional spa/facial settings. IMO, it's quite expensive and the same ingredients CAN be found in other products at better price points. Skinceuticals, which is also not inexpensive, but considerably less than SkinMedica is one.

If you check ingredient decks on specific products, you'll find many are quite similar. Serums: Last year I changed from the top rated Skinceuticals Vit. C E Ferulic at $166 to Obagi Professional C 15% or 20% at $70. I see no difference in the the brightness and fading of spots on my skin.

Price doesn't mean a product is better.
