mustbuyless, I am glad you found this thread to bump up yeah! I am so happy the products are working well for you, awesome. If you can do the TTV tonight I am pretty sure it will have 6 value pays which helps, I do that and then just go in and pay it off in a couple months that way it is payed for by the time the products are gone. Works for me!

One thing I wanted to say is in your new post above, on #3 there I use the Deep Line Peel in the little blue bottle that you dip a q tip into and rub directly into a line, but if you have the serum in the long skinny tube Dimitri said it also makes a good eye cream if you want to use it up that way.

Oh and another thing, give the 4 ABC Peels in the syringes the full 4 weeks (one a week) along with the Translucense Concentrate once or twice daily and I bet you will be blown away!

eta~ I really think that now with the Translucense Resurfacing Concentrate he added to the line I will not be replacing the little blue bottle of peel solution, I think the 4 products in this TTV kit will be a perfect regime. And an eye cream!

Desertdi, sharlee, and Sea Gal, thank you so much for the later posts and advice. I didn't realize there were more posts or I'd have expressed my appreciation a little earlier! All your suggestions sound great. I've taken down the names and I think I'll be shopping again this weekend!

I know there is another SKINN thread, but since this is specifically for oily/sensitive skin, I hope it's ok to revive it.

So now my newbie report. I've been trying this stuff for about 3 weeks.I am so thrilled to say my skin didn't react to any of them! I am SO HAPPY about that- really thanks to you I got up the nerve to try skinn.

Specifics: this is what I tried

1. Collagenesis stem rejen for the face (the pink bottle) - CRAZY IN LOVE with this

2. Collagenesis resurfacing concentrate: CRAZY IN LOVE with this too! I use it in combination w. the stem rejen.

3. Collagenesis deep line wrinkle erasing serum: this seems great but to be honest I don't always apply it. I need to be more consistent with it.

4. Dermappeal Thermo-Enzymatic Microdermabrasion: Also REALLY LOVE this. It smooths out my skin. Baby's bottom is exactly it: you were so right, gokat

5. Other non-face products: I got the Sweet & Smooth Sugar & Shea Butter Body Polish, a kind of body scrub along with some of these products, but haven't tried it yet.

I also got two lip products: Sugar lips and Lips 6X. Not sure about these- I haven't tried them too often. I think they ended up being a little drying, but I won't know for sure till I give them more time.

The line is definitely fabulous but also very, very confusing, and I would have had no idea where to begin without your wonderful advice. Shelbelle, SeaGal, gokat, dionline, FLgators, your suggestions a few weeks ago were just brilliant. You ladies are the best!

I'm tempted to try two new things this weekend: The eye stem rejen and the neck firm and lift (or densify) lotion. I'm sure there'll be other temptations too, but I've already spent what feels like a fortune to me and I want to take it slow.

And because this can't be said enough: THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYONE WHO POSTED!

So glad to see we Skinn ladies were able to help out a little. I know how overwhelming entering the Skinn arena can be with all the offerings. Nearly every month someone inquires about oilier or sensitive skin types so I wish as well that Dimitri would set aside some time to indicate compatible products and/or kits for them. I will mention the Skinnaturals Triple Relief System line once again. It is not highlighted nearly enough IMO as whenever it's offered at ShopHQ it does sell out and inevitably positive posts pop up raving about the products. The kit includes a cleanser, serum, and cream. If you Google the above name you can get detailed info on that line. You may want to consider it. Also, I know Dimitri's staff pays attention to the Skinn Facebook page so another suggestion is that you put in a request there to stock more of the line at ShopHQ and for more info. HTH's

OMG, how wonderful that I can use the deep line erasing serum as an eyecream, SeaGal- I would never have figured that out without your mentioning it. This means I can hold off trying the eye products for a while. I do like the serum itself- it's just that I'm so satisfied with the collagenesis stem rejen and translucence skin resurfacing, that I just don't get around to the third step. (I'm very lazy, esp with skin care). A product that does double duty is A-OK in my book.

And I never thought to check ebay for the neck lift cream. I shop there all the time. Thank you all over again.

I forgot about the Deep Line Peel- so glad you mentioned it again. Last round I'd put it in my shopping basket and then edited it out when the price tag was getting way beyond my comfort zone I definitely want to try that this time after hearing about your results! I'll give the ABC peels the full 4 weeks.

My skin really does look and feel so much better now- gracias!!!

gokat, thanks again, this is extremely helpful. "Overwhelming" is exactly how it felt- so much so that I was completely dissuaded from trying for at least a year or so. Then I finally took the plunge after becoming a member here on the forum and knowing I'd get great advice.

Your recommendation about skin naturals has been on my radar and I plan to follow up this month. Just to endorse what you said: I noticed there's a guide up on the shophq site now, and somewhere in it it mentions the Naturals line for sensitive skin (and lists a few other products as well). I don't remember seeing the guide before...I'm really glad they have it now. The funny thing is I searched for it on the shop HQ site and nothing turned up (I tried Skinn Naturals; skinnaturals; and a few other configurations). So then I just looked on www.skinn.com and they do have a kit there plus separate products in the natural line...and it all looks really doable. I feel I'm sitting pretty on many options!

So are you going to stock up this weekend? Must be so hard to resist when you are so knowledgeable about the products.

I will be grabbing tonight's DWP TTV, mustbuyless. I know a good deal when I see it coming! Years of using Dimitri's products has made me a believer. I don't use everything (Who could?!?), but he does know what he's doing with skincare IMO, and my skin thanks him. With drier skin here I'm using DWP mainly during the day and use the more emollient 24 Hour Youth Preservation in the evening. The Translucence Resurfacing Concentrate is 2014 product of the year IMO. It is one of those things where you may not notice it immediately, but give it a few weeks and all of a sudden you WILL see brighter, more even, smoother-textured skin. I use DWP line peel, etc. and Stem Rejens layered together followed with the Sonic Infuser around the mouth and eyes. BOOM! A little instant gratification!

Sounds like you're in good shape with your options. I'm glad you found Dimitri's Order of Usage Guide at ShopHQ. It is a treasure trove of information IMO and can be very helpful. Please keep posting as you get acquainted with your selections as it's so helpful to us all.

You are so welcome mustbuyless! I get so excited when I see someone happy as I am about my Skinn skin. I see you saw my post before I chopped it down lol, cut out the ebay stuff, ok you are well versed on the bay, good!!

Have fun shopping, I have to go check out this eye kit mentioned above!!

[Desertdi]

While you're on the Skinn page.....if you pull up ""skin care"".....there is a category of recommended products for ""oily"".

[mustbuyless]

Thank you so much, Desertdi! This'll be a huge help. Just what I was hoping for!

[cw88]

thanks for all this info, I will have to study it. I will check out the facebook recommendations, too!

ah! i'm so excited to hear another oily gal lobes the stem rejen serum. i've been eyeing it for awhile now but have been hesitant because of my oil slick face.

may i also suggest the vacuum mask as well as the secret elixir oil. those were the first 2 products i tried of his and they have done wonders at keeping oil at bay during the day. i only use the secret elixir at night (instead of am and pm like he suggests) and WOW is all i have to say! i just restocked on the oil from eBay for $25!
