Reviews

St. Ives is the best product that I have found to keep my face clean and clear. I've been using it for some years now. Highly recommended!! The shipping experience with the vendor was quick and no issues to report.

Enough to last you many weeks w/o buying another. Very, very subtle apricot scent. Skin feels smooth and oil-free after use. I would buy it again.

I bought this product and used it for over a month now. Nothing is working, it actually makes my eye bag and wrinkles even more visible. Don't buy this product. You are wasting your money!

This stuff is horrible. I read glowing reviews before buying it, so I figured it was worth a try. The texture is weird. It sits on your skin and makes it seem dry. After two months of use there was no change in the appearance of my eyes. I wasn't hoping for a miracle, just a reduction in fine lines.

I've been using this product for a little over four weeks and haven't noticed any improvement in my eyes, in either fine lines or dark circles. For a little background...I don't have real dark circles, but I'm getting wrinkly eyes when I smile. After searching for a product that would help improve the elasticity of the under eye area, I chose this product based on the good reviews, but have to admit that I see NO change in the elasticity of my skin. The only reason I give it two stars is because it does feel really silky on the skin when you put it on. I don't plan on buying this product again.

I love this product! I have only been using it nightly for two weeks and already see a difference! the lines in my eyer area are less visible, the skin is smoother, no bags or dark circles either. I am using this in combination with Patricia wexler m.d. de-puffing eye gel in the am and then the eye silk in the pm! Definately a winner!

I've tried many many eye area products and this one is no better than any of the others. It feels really nice and "silky" going on your skin, but as for wrinkle appearance improvement....I didn't see any and I used it for about 3 weeks.

Restore the elasticity of your youth with a formula created to strengthen fragile skin around the eyes. Relastin Eye Silk's unique Zinc Firming Complex works with your skin's own cells to kick start the formation of elastin, the protein which helps the skin to spring back into place, rather than wrinkling and sagging...

Smoother more taut skin, fewer wrinkles, this cream is amazing! Truly, I've never experienced a better face cream for 30-somethings like myself (those who want to prevent wrinkles, decrease wrinkles around the eyes and mouth, and have smoother skin without cloying, heavy face cream). It only takes a few applications to notice the difference. It's light to the touch, non-greasy, and the difference is dramatic. I highly recommend Relastin Revitalizer!

I've tried many products in my search for youthful skin.I'm 53-and I've been searching for years.Relastin is one product I always come back to.This cream feels like silk on my skin.After washing my face,I use relastin.Then I wait about 15-20 min.Now I put on moisturizer;sometimes it feels as I don't need mosturizer.My skin has never looked better,theres'an inner glow and skin feels super smooth.There are 4 beauty items I will never be without and this is one of them.

I was excited to receive this product after reading so many great reviews. I've used it faithfully for three months now and really can't see any difference. I love the way it goes on; like silk. It's not greasy and has no fragrance which I like. As another reviewer commented, it is very drying and it doesn't have sun protection. It's a wonderful cream but way too expensive just to be used as a cream that doesn't even moisturize. I have fair skin and an average amount of wrinkles for sixty years. I hope this review helps you to decide.

Relastin promotes itself as restoring elastin to skin which reduces fine wrinkles and allows facial skin to "bounce back." Nice theory. I've been using it now for about 3 months. I find Relastin to be a wonderful moisturizer: long-lasting and non-greasy. But as for the reduction in fine lines...nada.

I just wrote a glowing review for Relastin Eye Silk, the companion product to Revitalizer. I use them both and am really thinking of nominating Dr. Relastin for the Nobel Prize in Skincare. I went through a lot of cash on anti-aging products that didn't really work (although a couple of them smelled great, which is actually OK, but only if they are reasonably priced) before I discovered Relastin about a year ago. I apply both products in the morning and in the evening, and talk about them frequently in between!

Relastin Skin Revitalizer has a creamy formula that penetrates the inner layers of your skin and works with your skin's own cells to promote elastin formation - diminishing fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging, for smoother, firmer, more radiant skin...

I have so much issues with this book I don't even know where to begin. Considering the skin care world basically evolves every 6 months at least (new research, techniques, and studies), the list of references was atrocious - it contained more sources from the early 90's and 80's than from 2005 (1 year before published). My biggest issue (besides from the highly obvious tone of endorsing HORRIBLE products for the skin) is her DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO POP A ZIT!!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? All that "pus" = your WHITE BLOOD CELLS that are helping to FIGHT the p.acne bacteria. WHY would you want to extract that? Popping a zit also ruptures your hair follicle (what a pore really is) - hence why you tend to break out in the same place multiple times. I would have liked to see her explain the difference between "sensitive" and "sensitized" skin (BIG difference). Instead, she fuels to the fire of everyone thinking their skin is "sensitive" - here's a tip - put down the Starbucks/cigarette/sugar/proactive and start drinking some water. Your "sensitive" skin will magically disappear. If you are curious about your skin PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE go to a Skin Therapist (Esthetician) before you consult this book. Any dermatologist who can recommend Neutrogena for acne and still sleep at night is not worth your time or money.

Haven't read it entirely, but looks informative. No photos. I was only disappointed with that.

A good book. While the book appears rather fat a lot of the book is taken up with the test and is then mostly divided into sections for each skin type. So there was less information to get from the book than I'd hoped. I did however find the information there was useful and relevant if not as detailed as I had hoped. I liked whenever she suggested products they were in a range of price points. So many books like this recommend a "cheaper product" that starts at something like $50.00 this book does recommend a good range from drugstore all the way up to high end, so there are choices for every budget. Or for those of us just wanting to try out a skin care routine before investing big bucks. Often there were recommendations for the lower priced items too which was a nice surprise. A good book if your current skin care routine doesn't seem to be working, you are sure to get some ideas from this that will help.

I enjoyed the book and really appreciated the names of actual products to use and their approximate prices. The skin test was a great help too. I am just starting to use the products recommended and have seen some good results. Hope it continues.

After 60 yrs. of living and thousands of $$$$ spent on skincare products, I finally know what type of skin I have! There is a very easy quiz at the start of the book which will tell you what skin type you are (there are 16 types!) and what products work best for that skin type. I can now go to the drug or department stores and buy what I need to keep my skin from breaking out or wrinkling. Dr. Baumann lists many products in each category that you can choose from - they range from the economical to the expensive - and she also lists the stores and/or websites where you can purchase them. She also recommends a daily routine for AM/PM. I highly recommend this book for the younger generations so you don't waste a lot of time & money on skincare that will do nothing for you.

I have been a cosmetic dermatology nurse for 10 years, and I have found this book incredibly helpful. I use it constantly to educate patients on their treatments. I found the explanations and the diagrams to be an essential part of our initial consultation. I highly recommend this book for anyone, nurse, aesthetician, or MD in the cosmetic field!

I initially read The Skin Type Solution by Dr Baumann and absolutely LOVED it ! As a skin care instructor I used her book all the time to teach my students. Now, I have another resource with this new book. Dr Baumann breaks things down so clearly that it is not intimidating in any way. It is not your usual text book either. I am always finding new answers to questions I have had as well as my students. The skin care industry is so fluid, if you do NOT know your stuff, you will not be successful.
