I'm a newbie to Skinn. Last month I ordered the lip 6x and something else and I loved it. I don't know exactly what kit I ordered, but it came with that blue bottle of something with coconut water and derm appeal. I loved what I ordered so I ordered 3 kits last weekend. The TTV and the hydration kit with the oils and another one for lips which has another 6X (don't want to be without that). I just got them last night. Can't wait to try it all. I'm tempted to buy either Collagenesis Creme Reverse or the Youth Preservation 24 hour, but I'm not sure which one is better. Will try these serums I got first. I did grab the eye balm out of the box last night though and used it.

The Creme Reverse Cream is very nice -- a GEL Cream. I'd say it's better if you have normal to n/o skin. The 24 Hour Cream is super heavy and dense -- think butter. I swear by the 24 Hour Cream, but I've seemed to become extremely dry in the past year -- don't think I would have liked it a few years back.

MissKlynn, Dimitri said the eye balm in that kit was .05 oz, same as the normal size. If you had a bigger size at one time, it must have been a bonus size.

The normal size is .35 oz and that's what I've purchased several times before, but in this kit they are .25 oz each. The containers are different too. I knew that when I bought the kit so no biggie, just found the difference in the texture of the balm itself interesting. Only slight difference, nothing to make me wiggle in my knickers lol

Wiggle in my knickers

You know what, just as I was reading your reply here I had a lite bulb moment and remember he was talking about the Mango Eye Mask not the Eye Balm, so nevermind lol. But the different texture, that is odd hmmm.

Speaking of the Mango eye mask, LOVVVE!!

eta~ No wait, thats not what he said about the Mango mask either, geez I am losing it! Forget I said anything ok!

LOL I don't know what he said about the masks but they are the same size from other kits I bought. I don't even have major eye issues and love that mango eye mask! I keep it in the fridge and it feels sooooo good. Do you feel the tingle? It's so refreshing and tightening! I think he says it has something that helps exfoliate that gentle area too so I'm convinced that's the tingle

OK I'm not one to report on a product until I've really put it to the test over a long period of time, BUT my first impressions of the Hydro Surge and Huile Nutri-Vital are really good!

I am, and will just use these two for awhile without any other products so I can isolate results. This morning was my 4th application, and last night after I applied and went back to the bathroom before bed I caught a glimpse in the mirror and had a WOW reaction! My face looked so young (well to be fair I'm not that old), it looked moist, juicy and just so "healthy" and glowing? I don't know how to describe it? Just juicy! This morning I paid attention again, same thing. And it seems to really help with the tone, my redness was really soothed and diminished. I just felt so fresh-faced, almost like I just walked out of the spa and had a facial!

In the morning I'm using only half pump of the huile and two pumps of the hydro-surge, 1 pump of the oil was too much for day wear under makeup.

Oh another interesting thing! I took the excess and rubbed it into my hands, noticed some dead skin rolling off my palms and was excited and surprised because I didn't realize it would help exfoliate too. Looked up ingredients and saw glycolic acid in the hydro-surge, yay! This may very well replace my other glycolic serum if it's packed with all those other goodies too. The huile has retinol too, he says 1/2 million units, so don't think that will replace my PTR retinol though because I don't think that's close to 1.5%. Wish they'd be consistent in describing retinol content

I know others got this duo too so I'm curious what your initial thoughts are, or those that have used it longer?

Maren - didn't you get the PM cleanser? Did you try it yet?

Love my set! I have sensitive skin and don't do heavy fragrance. The Skinnaturals are fantastic. My skin is sooooo happy. Love the soft rose scent of the Desert Bloom. The scrub and body butter are to die for. I went ahead and ordered another kit today since it's only $3 more than the special value of last week.

The Hydro Surge and Huile saved my skin in Chicago's nasty winter this year! The 24 cream was too heavy, but these 2 worked very well for my olive skin. Glad so many are having good results.

I got the Chin up with the Creme Extreme Body lotion and the scrub. I think I got it on Wed....which is very quick compared to the Q which seems to take forever sometimes.

I'm a little disappointed because the pump on the Creme Extreme is not working right and I will probably have to send it back. :-(

Got my Ttvs (whatever you call it) and tonight did the derma appeal, than the Essence which I had a hard time getting it to come out of the container. Anybody else have that problem? Than used the two serums, eyes and face. Everything felt very good so I am anxious to see how the skin looks down the road. About an hour later I used the ncn retinol over it. Watched one show today and if I get a chance will watch tomorrow. Was there a surprise?

Hi, Do you mean the Essence Oil for the face in the blue bottle? If you do you need to give the white cap a slight turn( it doesn't come off) then either put your finger over the hole or shake some onto fingers or in the palm, make sure you turn it back to close it. There's usually a little left on the lid even after turning it close.. I just slather it on I love it so much. I use over entire face, neck, chest, back of hands am and pm, even more during the day of I think of it. My skin loves it!

what is ncn retinol?

I'm a SKINN devotee, have been for almost 20 years since his 1st skin care line.

I have used the hydro surge and the huile twice now. It itches though. At first, I thought it was because I added the vit c powder and last night left it out. The itching isn't over the top bad, but noticeable. I will keep using but has anyone experienced this?

The eye balm is nice. I can't say just yet but love that that area is still moist in the morning. I don't know that the 24 youth cream doesn't do the same but I will give this a go and it doesn't hurt so why not. I realize I need and like more moisture at night now.
