Nothing I've tried has caused a problem yet. I'm watching him now and thinking about purchasing this one too. I think my favorite products so far are his Collagenesis Creme Reverse cream and his Radiance body oil.

Thanks, KweenB -- this is very good to know! I was tempted by the Collagenesis Creme Reverse, but thought I would try this kit first. That way, I can send back if it doesn't work for me.

A year ago, I purchased Signature Club A's Five Essentials Creme (southern channel). My word! That stuff about destroyed my skin -- I was beet red and swollen like I had a severe sunburn -- then my face peeled in sheets for days! It was awful!

Oh the joy of being blessed with very dry AND sensitive skin!! The very dry was great when I was a teenager -- not so much, now!

RebeccaJ, you should take a look at his 24 Hr Youth Preservation cream. It's very hydrating.

You probably should not have ordered that with your dry skin. I'm getting the impression that Dermalift is for oily skin only . I have found personally, that anything with an instant lift mechanism pulls & crinkles on my normal skin he has made it a point that it is for oily skin

The Creme Reverse is one of his lighter formulas, more like a creme/gel. I bought one seperately for a great price on ebay. It is his most expensive product when sold on its own.

RebeccaJ-Do you remember if the Dr. Graf product was the rejuvenation retinol line? I have wanted to try her retinol line, but since I have rosacea I always try to do some research and check other people's experiences. TIA!

I turned 60 in June and have very dry, sensitive skin. Had 5 months of chemo in 2012 so had some issues with that whole "adventure". But I have great skin too; no horrible lines or wrinkles or pores to speak of. I recently started using the Clarisonic about 1 month ago and have noticed a big difference in how my skincare products go on and are used by my skin. I also use Skinn skincare and LOVE them. I think you have to have a very clean palet (your skin) to allow the products to do their thing. Seems like I use less and see more results.

I am fifty-four with normal skin. I cannot use the Collagenesis 24-hour cream as it is too heavy for me. I use the stem rejen serums, but alone and not in combination with anything else. I am probably one of the few original customers for the Dermalift who tried it and have stayed with it. I like I because it hydrates without being heavy, and does a really good job of reducing crepiness on my neck.

As for the balling up of product - I have the same problem with the Dr. Denese peel pads. I finally resorted to using them alone at night, alternating with the hydroshield that contains retinol.

Hi, maestra. The kit I received had two in the rejuvenation line -- Rejuvenation Retinol Body Butter and Skin Rejuvenation Exfoliating and Firming Pads. The body butter is okay -- a bit greasy and slow to absorb. It seems to have a good bit of shea butter in it and smells like shea butter to me. I've also had no issues with the pads -- I'll use them up and then switch back to Dr. Denese's.

The remaining hodgepodge of products I received are the Copper Collagen Firming Serum; the Vita-Peptide Skin Energizing Booster AM/PM with AMLA; Skin Deep Day Facial Moisturizer; Triple Action Peptide Eye Serum; Hyaluronic Skin Filler Eye Creme; and the Collagen Cleanser.

In retrospect, I think this kit was made of unopened/returned items from other kits. Why else include two different serums and two different eye creams? Oh well -- my mistake in ordering, but you don't know about products until you try them!!

Hope this helps (but probably didn't!)

Hi, wagirl. I'm glad to hear you love the Skinn line -- that boosts my confidence in ordering. I tried the Clarisonic several years ago and oh boy -- my skin did NOT like it! I began to peel; and peel; and peel; and peel. At first I thought, "Oh, goody! This is getting rid of dead skin!" Then as the peeling continued, I decided it was not helping my skin but harming it. I'm probably the only person in the country who didn't like the Clarisonic for that reason!

I don't wear make-up except for a tinted sunscreen moisturizer, undereye concealer, and mascara, so perhaps the Clarisonic was too much for me.

Thanks again for the Skinn recommendation!

Thanks, Favorite Son! I know with all product lines, it's usually a matter of trial and error but I'm glad to hear you like and continue to use the Dermalift. The base of my neck, in the front, is beginning that crepiness foolishness and I hope to stop it as best I can. I realize as we all age, short of plastic surgery, nothing will completely stop gravity and the hands of time; I do, however, want to slow ol' Father Time down!!

Thanks again!
