Dr Lewinns Reversaderm Trial

I was so excited to be selected for this trial as my wedding day is very quickly approaching and I was very keen to try anything to make my skin as bright and radiant as possible! I don't usually use a lot of products on my skin so I was worried about commiting to a complicated & timely routine, but this system is quick & easy to use. I'm over the moon with my results - My skin tone is more even now, my pigmentation is clearing, my acne scaring has all but gone & my partner comments at how much softer my skin is. I am so excited to be able to put a much more radiant face forward on my wedding day. Cleanser: Large, easy to use pump bottle. A pleasant smelling light lotion-y consistency, I would use a couple of pumps each time to get a generous coverage. Initially my skin really tingled a lot when using this product. I'm not big on cleansers but I really like this product, initially I thought it was expensive for what it was, but after trialling, the bottle goes a long way & the results speak for themselves. Age Correcting Peel: A smaller pump bottle, This time a clear liquid which you use every second day, after cleansing. The first time, I used a heap of this product trying to get a good layer on my skin thinking it was like a traditional dry on your skin & peel off dealy, but nope, next time, just a few pumps like the cleanser, its very light and just dries on your skin and then wash off after 20 mins. Initially it was tingly to the point of almost stingy, but I persisted and the tingling stopped pretty quickly. I liked this peel a lot, although, if I continue using the system I will use this once or twice a week instead of every second day. Serum: Came in a small jar with a dropper, I found the dropper hard to use, it was a bit hit or miss how much you picked up & as the jar got low on serum it got harder to get the product out with the short dropper. The serum is a light milky liquid, which I would only need a small drop of to cover my entire face & neck. Regenerative Cream: Comes in a fancy jar, the lid presses down and dispenses the cream from a small circle in the middle of the lid. I found I had to press very lightly or the cream would splatter everywhere. I would use 1 to 2 pumps every time I used it, I found the cream very light, but when used with the serum offers a whole ton of moisture! Mask: This was a once a week mask, it comes in a tube, the mask inside was a purple colour. I was looking forward to this mask every week, my skin felt so fresh and clean after I used it. the mask just sat on my skin & then after the 20 mins I washed it off. This product range is out of my budget at $370 for the complete system but It is a luxury product range & the beautiful packaging & lotions inside are worth the price. After trialling, I would recommend to anyone who had a special event such as a wedding or even just as a treat. I will be continuing on with my system for my big day in a few months time.

Tips: After I shower I like to use a little lotion on my face, I would often just put a dab of the regenerative cream on, but I found it too light by itself. I found it really came to life when used in conjunction with the serum. The products really compliment each other.

Definitely use sunscreen as recommended, all that beautiful new skin needs to be protected!

You had me at Dr Lewinns!

I absolutely could not believe that I was one of the lucky reviewers for this product range! I think I even let out a squeal! step 1 – The Cleanser. I dampened my skin with warm water prior to applying. It’s a really light, creamy product so don’t expect it to foam. To be honest, it felt so light that I didn’t think much of it but I felt results from the very first application, my skin felt smoother.

step 2 – The Peel. This is to be used every second day. I ended up doing a schedule on my phone because I quickly forgot what day I was on. This product contains such delicious active ingredients that you feel the results immediately. I have used salon and at-home peels before and have experienced very strong tingling to very light. I would describe this as a short tingle which soon dissipated and was very comfortable to have on. I let the gel preparation sit on my skin for 25 minutes. step 3 – The Serum. This is probably my favourite step… it feels gorgeous and silky on such fresh skin. The serum looks a pearly cream colour and is quite light to the touch. I love the wee fat bottle, so cute! This absorbs quite rapidly into my dehydrated skin but it leaves it feeling soft and loved.

step 4 – The Regenerative Cream. This moisturizer comes in a very handy pump container so it’s much cleaner and cost effective as you only pump as much as you need. I tend to do not quite a full pump in the morning and then a full one at night. It absorbs nicely into the skin but sometimes after the peel, I still feel would not quite hydrated enough.

step 5 – The Mask. This is such a nice, light purplish mask that feels refreshing and hydrating. I really looked forward to my ‘mask’ nights as it was a good time to sit back and relax. I would also do my teeth whitening as well… bonus! My skin was left feeling hydrated, smoother and clear. It has a cooling effect on the skin and is the only mask that didn’t redden my skin after removal, it actually had the opposite effect! This is to be used once a week. My skin is dry and sensitive, pigmented and dull. I thoroughly loved using the Reversaderm program and recommend it to anyone looking for a quality at-home range. I have been quite neglectful of my skincare lately so I really enjoyed the extra love and commitment I was giving my skin, however in saying that, it was not arduous or lengthy and totally doable in our fast paced lives. If you are a bit forgetful like me then I highly recommend writing up a wee schedule for peel days. My skin is so much more hydrated than before, it has a fresher tone to it. Make up is much easier to apply and I was grateful that I had no break outs during this period. There was no irritation and is a perfect product for reviving your skin before an important event, such as a wedding or in my case, an overseas trip!

Tips: Tip: Don’t apply cleanser higher than your eye socket because it will sting if it gets in your eyes. Tip: Let your skin dry after cleansing, prior to applying the Peel. Do not apply on any open skin, like a pimple, ouchies. Tingling is normal, burning is not!! Tip: Don’t miss the serum step, your skin will love you for it. It has a handy dropper but I noticed that no product was coming out when I first used it and a little harden bit of serum had blocked it. A quick rinse resolved the issue Tip: Definitely wear sunblock as the range contains no SPF factor and you don’t want to undo all that good work

My concerns....the grand canyon on my forehead. Blackheads that's cemented into my skin. Pigmentation and age spots. Oh, and I no longer have crows feet, more like ostrich feet. You think this range would make me look 15 again? Lol

Hi Nicolef, my skin becomes sensitive due to environmental factors but my main skin concern is dehydration & pigmentation. I had no issues with this product, but I am familiar with using AHAs. I would definitely recommend doing a patch test in store.

Hi Ngahew, I see that you have sensitive skin. Were you concerned at all about using such a high percentage of aha? I've been reading the revieasiest and they all sound great but sensitivity is an issue for me also.

Ressurfaced my skin!

I was excited to be offered an opportunity on this trial team. This range claims to resurface and renourish ageing or damaged skin. This is my first time using this type of skincare.

STEP 1- CLARIFY -Glycolic Clarifying Cleanser

This bottle came in a pump bottle. Each pump disperses enough for one application making it last a very long time. The consistency is smooth white with a fresh musky floral scent. I put this on for ten minutes each time morning and night for the duration of two weeks on. At first I feel a tingling sensation . It's not painful and I notice it goes away by the second week of use. This process feels like a cleaning cleansing effect. My skin is still feels hydrated, hasn't tightened like others I've tried.

STEP 2 - RESSURFACE- Micro Cellular Age Correcting Peel

This bottle is also in a pump plastic bottle. The consistency of this is like a clear gel. It smells like a strong alcohol with floral mixed in. Very Weird smell almost like a bad perfume. When I first put it on I felt a burning sensation. This went away after a couple of minutes. I notice as I progress with this peel on every second night it's like I can't feel any burning or tingling. My skin appeared red on the first week but notice that it's fully restored by the second to third week.

STEP 3 - REVIVE- Tri Collagen Accelerating Serum

This bottle was the show stopper amongst the other skincare packaging. It has this pearlescent white glass. The most beautiful serum bottle I've ever owned. The dropper is good quality too . The texture of this serum feels soft and more refined. It has a soft musk scent that lingers after use. It works its magic after each cleanse and peel. My skin feels glowy as time goes on .

STEP 4 - RESTORE- Antioxidant Regenerative Cream

This came in a large sized pot. I had to ask my partner how to work this one. He showed me that I push down on the plastic and it pushes out enough cream for each use. This way I guess the cream isnt exposed . The texture of it is smooth creamy non greasy softly fragranced.This part feels like I'm giving my skin food to nourish and heal. I would have liked some SPF Added to the formula of it.

STEP 5 - DETOX- Enzymatic Detoxifying Mask

This one came in a long thin tube. Similar branding to the other bottles. The colour of it is a light purple shade quite light creamy consistency. I put this on once a week. I feel a slight tingle with this but it goes away with time.

When I first started this skincare system my skin was red and dry in an awful condition. During the course of six weeks I saw my skin transform from being red and dry to being smooth , hydrated glowy skin. There was a small reduction with my fine lines . This is the best skincare system I've ever tried. It's ideal for resurfacing and restoring skin. Definately worth its price. I had my doubts but I was wrong. It worked well for me.

Reversaderm Review

Step 1: Clarify Glycolic Clarifying Cleanser This product was used every day, twice a day. Morning and night minus the off weeks. The cleanser is white in colour, floral scented and lightweight. The cleasner isn't thick or runny, a really thin consistencey. I used 2 pumps worth of product to wash my face with, massaging it into my face for 2 minutes but leaving it on my face for a good 6-7 minutes before rinsing it off and towel drying my face. I was super surprised that the cleanser didnt lather, so no bubbles. For the first two weeks I noticed a slight tingle senastion to the skin on my face but on week 5 and 6 I didn't get that sensation at all. My skin was left feeling incredibly clean and soft after use.

Step 2: Resurface Micro-Cellular Age correcting Peel This product was used every 2nd night minus the off weeks. The peel cream is a clear liquid, a little runny. The scent to me is similar to the cleanser but with more of a 'cleanser' smell to it. I used 3 pumps worth of product which was enough to cover my face, just a light film across my face. I generally left it on for 30 minutes, rinsing it off with luke warm water. Let's talk about that stinging sensation lol. It was definetly strong but only for a minute - maybe less before it subsided. I did notice if i had worn makeup that day the sting was a little more intense than when not wearing makeup.

Step 3: Revive Tri-Collagen Accelerating Serum This product was used every day twice a day minus the off weeks. The peel is a beautiful pearlescent white colour, much the same consistency as the cleanser and smells the same as well. I used 2 droplet pumps of the serum for my face, I did find it took a bit to absorb into my skin, but after it was well massaged in my skin felt so soft! I noticed when I was out in the sun for the day using this on my skin, it did sting a little but it didnt happen often.

Step 4: Restore Antioxidant Regenerate Cream This product was used every day, twice a day minus the off weeks. The cream smells amazing! Just like roses and it's just like a body butter. One pump is enough product to use on your face. The packaging is very unique. Round with a clear lid, pop the lid off and push down on the pad for the product to come up through the hole in the pad. It left my skin feeling silky smooth and hydrated.

Tips: Step 5: Detoxifying Enzymatic Detoxifying Mask This product was used once a week. For me I used it every 6th day minus the off weeks. The product is a beautiful pastel lavender colour. For me it didn't really have a distinctive scent. The consistency is like the serum. Slight tingle sensation when applied to the skin but subsides quickly. I left this product on my face for 20 minutes before rinsing off with luke warm water, making sure to only towel pat dry my face. I noticed my skin was brighter after using the mask and my pores have been noticeably smaller.

One important thing aboout these products was applying sunscreen after use of them. I now religously have gotten into a habit of putting sunscreen on my face several times throughout the day. Overall, this product is incredible and I feel so lucky to have been picked to be apart of the trial team. My acne has reduced along with existing scars. My pores are a lot smlaller, my skin is a lot softer, dark spots are lighter, small creases around the eyes are gone. I feel I have new, younger feeling and looking skin. 2 down sides....The price! It is wayyyy out of my price range for when it comes to skin care sadly. And on the off weeks, mainly the first week (so week 3) I noticed my skin was dry, flakey and patchy. My pores looked huge and opened but by week 4 it had come right. Thank you Beauty review for this experience. Dr Lewinns - this is incredible!

My dehydrated skin is as smooth as a baby now

Following the 2on/2off cycle for 6 weeks I had great results. It says to take 2 weeks off due to 'efficacy of ingredients' but I'm sure it's so you can be reminded how terrible your regular products are compared to these! My skin is norm/dehydrated. Cleanser - It has quite a strong, fresh, citrusy scent. It's creamy white, is non foaming & can be left on for a few mins for extra exfoliating. I used 1 & a bit pumps each time. The 100ml easy to use pump bottle will last a good while - it's at a fair price point. It deeply cleaned without drying, although it did seem to make my hands peel from massaging it in. Serum -I don't like dropper style bottles & mine arrived blocked. I used a pin & unblock where some product had gone gluggy in it. With minimal scent & a white opaque colour, it absorbs quickly & easily into skin without being oily. Benefits of brightened skin, improved radiance and skin tone were definitely met. A key ingredient in this, the cream & mask, is French Saffron to improve radiance & skin tone. Down side is the amount you need to use this product seems very expensive & for this price I'd like better packaging & more product. Cream - is very light. It has a scent similar to the cleanser but not as strong. I love the style of dispenser - you press the top down & a bit of moisturiser pops out. No mess no fuss. This one seems a bit springy, if you press too fast too much product comes out & it flicks everywhere. If a product is cheap I'm not too fussy but if it's expensive I expect even the packaging to be quality. One pump is enough for face & neck. It absorbs very quickly & skin is left soft, tight & bright with no oiliness. After using just the cleanser, serum & moisturiser my skin looked beautiful, I noticed a difference straight away it seemed clear & soft. Peel- I used 4 pumps of the generous sized peel every 2nd day. Its like a clear serum that spread easily over my face. After 30 minutes it has dried but still feels sticky on skin. Easily washed off with water. At first I noticed no burning, tingling or redness. At the start of the 4th week of product use (6th week real time) it tingled for a few of mins but it went away - I wasn't worried about this feeling as it is similar to having a professional peel & makes the product seem closer to salon quality. Mask - used once a week in replacement of the Peel. It's a light, creamy formula with a slight mauve tint to it but appears almost clear when applied and a light scent. First couple of mins the mask started to warm, calming down at 8 mins. It was by no means bad at all - I just feel I should mention it. These left my skin looking younger in every way - plump, pores reduced, smooth, even toned & glowing. I experienced no extra breakouts from the products. My dry 'yoga patch' on my chin is gone. Makeup is a dream to apply. I use much less foundation & get a very soft & smooth result. After just two weeks fine lines were less noticeable - collagen synthesis in action

Tips: I found it helpful to write down the peel and mask days so as not to get confused.

Also before cleaning my face, I removed my makeup with micellar water and eye makeup remover so as not to waste cleanser.

I use an spf everyday normally but it's a big must when using these products as it is with professional peel treatments. I don't think it helped that it's been summer holidays so I have been outside a lot more (with spf) & my pigmentation darkens over summer no matter how hard I try - I'm definitely going to do this hard core over winter! Big thanks to Beauty Review for this trial - amazing products to try and can't wait to see my skin in a few more months.

It's not gone but it's a lot less noticeable, I don't specifically cover it with concealer anymore on a night out, for everyday I wear a really thin bb cream and you can't tell there is any pigmentation.

New Year, New Skin

Ok. Let's start by saying - it really works. I didn't think it would, but before sitting down to write this review I studied my 'before' pics and my face in the mirror. The difference is startling.

The system as a whole is beautifully packaged - clean, sleek, minimal. The fancy cream dispenser is out of this world - no more grubby fingers in your day cream. The serum dropper bottle I find less practical, but it does give it that air of the salon. Personally I'd have just popped everything in pumps, but that's just me!

Every day for two weeks you use: Glycolic Clarifying Cleanser, Tri Collagen Accelerating Serum and Antioxidant Regenerative Cream. These three products were incredible every day products - I've never experienced daily skin care as delightful and effective. I don't want to stop using the Glycolic Clarifying Cleanser - one teeny pump was enough for my whole face, and my face felt incredibly clean and smooth after use. It smells fruity, it tastes salty and it really blows any other cleanser out of the water. Going back to my perfectly fine-before-I-tried-this cleanser is like a punishment.

The Serum is more like a lotion in consistency, it's instantly rejuvenating and leave you feeling like you've had a salon facial - you glow! It absorbs quickly.

The cream is an hydrating fix. Just like the serum it absorbs quickly, and one 'press down' is enough for your face. Winning.

Now on to the exciting stuff. The Micro Cellular Age Correcting Peel is simply one of the best skincare products I've ever used. It's kind of like a runny clear syrup - massage it all over your face, leave for 20-30 minutes and wash off. It's quite an unassuming for all of the power that it holds. I felt a light tingling during the first use, this is intermittent with future uses. The results can be felt and seen as soon as you rinse it off. More even skin tone. More even skin texture. Less imperfections.

And on to my favourite product of the set - the Enzymatic Detoxifying Mask. OH MY WORD. It's cooling, it's refreshing, it clears the skin, it soothes, it softens. It's just a gorgeous product. At the beginning of the treatment my skin just ate the mask up, but as my skin has improved over the last 6 weeks, the mask seems to sit on my skin for longer.

The results are incredible. I look better. I look younger. My skin is smoother, more even, less aged. This system really does reveal fresh new skin - something I've only experienced before in the salon.

I can't even mark this down for the price - is it expensive? Yeah. But it's much cheaper than a set of salon treatments. You can also control where the product goes, so there's minimal 'wastage' - for example, my massive forehead is probably the best bit of skin on my head, so I focus the mask/peel on the rest of my face and just do a light speckling there.

Tips: Don't use the products, especially the peel, on your lips.

Sunscreen. Use it, your skin, although not tender, it definitely feels more delicate.

gorgeous new skin

I was so excited and felt incredibly lucky to be a part of this trial. I love skincare products, I have dry skin that is aging fast and wasn’t looked after properly in my teens. So this had my eyes wide like saucers when I read it was going to take away the top layer of my skin to reveal fresh, healthy new skin beneath.

Step 1- Glycolic Clarifying Cleanser, this cream cleanser is the perfect consistency not too runny and not too thick. 2 pumps and I’m good to go, it’s easy to massage around my face and being a cream cleanser there is no foam or bubbles. I massage this around for a few seconds then let it sit for 1 minute and rinse off. I normally let it sit longer at night when time is more on my side. The cleanser has a faint citrusy scent that only lasts a few seconds then it disappears, I didn’t notice any reactions only a slight tingle the first 2 days I used it. It was good though I felt like it was working! When I was wearing makeup I removed my makeup before using this cleanser. I was very pleasantly surprised at how non-drying this cleanser is, it’s very mild and doesn’t strip your skin and doesn’t dry it out, my skin always felt and looked fresh and clean.

Step 2- Resurface micro cellular age correcting peel, this comes in a pump top bottle the same as the cleanser but slightly smaller. The clear peel has a slight runny consistency and has the same citrus scent as the cleanser, it’s easy to dispense the serum out, 3 pumps leaves a good layer over my face. This peel is used every second day and is left on your face for 20 minutes before gently washing clean. I do notice a bit of a reaction to this peel, it’s almost like a slight burning, slight stinging sensation but after 5 minutes it disappears. Afterwards my skin feels so soft

Step 3- Revive tri-collagen accelerating Serum, this serum comes in a bottle with a dropper, (I love the fact there is no wastage with a dropper) 1.5 droppers is enough to cover my face. The serum is a pearlescent colour with an almost herbal scent, but it is so faint and barely noticeable. It does take a while to absorb into my skin but once it does fully absorb there is no residue just very soft skin- like can’t stop touching my face soft!

Step 4- Restore Antioxidant Regenerate Cream, there are so many reasons I love this cream! Firstly the packaging, I have never had a moisturiser in this style packaging before and it’s awesome. Under the clear lid is like a round pad that you very carefully push down and the moisturiser comes out and you just swipe it off its genius! The scent of the moisturiser is floral and gorgeous the consistency is medium not too thick or thin. It absorbs easier than the serum and I also love how this is to be used both morning and night instead of having a day and a night cream.

Tips: Step 5- Detoxifying Enzymatic detoxifying mask, (this is my fave!) on days 6 & 14 you replace a ‘peel’ day with a mask. The mask comes in a squeeze tube and the packaging matches in with the rest of the products. The mask is a pale purple colour and has the same citrus scent as the cleanser and peel although only very faint. I apply a thin layer over my face and let it sit for 20 minutes. For the first 10 minutes I get a tingling sensation it’s not bad but it’s noticeable. If you are familiar with bee venom masks and creams this mask has the same tingling sensation. After I wash it off my skin immediately looks softer and healthier.

One thing you have to remember is sunscreen. This is so important having gorgeous new skin you don’t want to damage it.Over the course of the 6 weeks I have noticed a lot of changes to my skin. More so than any other skincare products I have used so far (and there have been a few) my skin is definitely brighter and softer and I swear the lines aren’t as noticeable. My skin does feel slightly tender, not painful but you can definitely tell you have new skin not only in looks but touch as well. It really did exceed my expectations the whole range is amazing, everything from the packaging to the actual products to the results. The only little minor fault with this (and I am being picky) is not being able to exfoliate I had several dry patches I couldn’t wait to buff away. Would I purchase this? Heck yes! I highly recommend this system to anyone that is considering a peel or wants to reverse damage or just to treat yourself. I am so grateful to BR and Dr Lewinns for giving me this wonderful opportunity to trial this range.

Dr Lewinns Reversaderm System

Truth time here - I have never really believed that there was a non-surgical way to reverse aging of skin. I know some products will give you softer feeling skin or improve the appearance while you have them on, but actual reversal? No way! After using this system though, in the words of The Monkees (or Smash Mouth if you prefer), "When I saw [my] face, I'm a believer!!" When the system first arrived I was a little overwhelmed by the number of components (being a two/three step girl) in the system and a bit concerned that I would get confused by the instructions (natural blonde before anyone asks :P ) but I soon got over that because of the results! Anyway enough dribble let's get into the review!

First step in the Glycolic Clarifying Cleanser. This comes in a very handy pump bottle and is applied to damp/wet skin. The milky consistency and concentrated ingredients meant that I only needed two pumps each use. On the skin it didn't really foam up and I never got the tingles that were mentioned as a common feeling for users. I did leave it on the skin for a couple of mins each time as suggested - especially when wearing makeup- to get the full exfoliation effect. I am still undecided about the fragrance on this. It has a fruity scent with an acidic end note and I don't know if I love it or hate it! After rinsing my skin was left feeling soft and smooth - no dry patches! Step Two A - Micro-Cellular Age Correcting Peel. This is used every second night and IMO is the crown jewels of the system. Once again I didn't notice any tingles (except for the one time I forgot the tiny scratch that my kitten left on my neck and smeared it with peel - OUCH!!) but the results are apparent every time you rinse. Once again in a handy pump bottle I found that one pump was enough to cover my face in the clear, thin liquid. Perfume is hardly noticeable but is pleasant. Leave it on for 30 mins and wipe off the remaining product and some useless dead skin cells. Even though the results were so visible it was really gentle and at no time did I feel like my skin was being "peeled" off. Step Two B - Enzymatic Detoxifying Mask. Once a week switch the Peel out for this gorgeous mask. Pale blue in colour it goes on the skin easily and is dry in around 20 mins. It has a lovely fragrance and when rinsed off I really noticed an extra firmness to my skin as well as an obvious reduction in pore size. Step Three - Tri-Collagen Accelerating Serum. This comes in a cute little bottle with a dropper applicator and is used twice daily after the cleanse/peel/mask step. One large drop was enough for each time as the serum is milky in consistency and very rich. Applied to dry skin it really "perks" the skin up and prepares it for the final step.

Tips: Step Four - Antioxidant Regenerative Cream This comes in the coolest, most practical packaging I have ever seen in a moisturiser. Instead of opening a lid and exposing the whole container to bugs etc, this pottle (sorry I couldn't think of a better word) has a funky lid that you push down and out comes a small dose of cream. This stuff is gorgeous. It smells great, goes on the skin and is absorbed well and leaves your skin feeling like it did back in high school when the only lines you were concerned abut were those given out for being late to class ;) My only and only gripe about the system is the lack of SPF which means I need to apply a sunscreen over the top. As a complete system I found the effects on my skin to be well worth the extra time that I had to put in to use all the components. As per instructions I went two weeks on then two weeks off then two weeks on again and I found myself counting down the days of the break so I could start using it again. While I would be lying if I said I looked like a 15 year old again I really have noticed a huge difference in the age of my skin and would use this again for any upcoming special occasions - like a Monday hehe. It is rather pricey but heaps cheaper than salon treatments. Sunscreen is a must as there is no SPF here and the lovely new skin is extra sensitive to the sun. Also if you can leave the cleanser on for a couple of mins before rinsing - it does make a difference

This is the BEST THING my skin's had in years!

I was very excited when I got selected for the Reversaderm Trial, Cleansers, Peels, Serums...the whole world turned on its axis! So to set the scene, i'm 48, I do have facials (although not as regularly as I probably should but I enjoy how my skin feels when I do). My skin is not sensitive at all really and I can pretty much use anything on it. I'm not generally loyal to any product or brand although an anti ageing moisturiser is MUST for me, and I alternate between high end and budget brands...so let's see how this lot stacks up. After all over $300 is a lot ..unless it's worth it..so let's find out.

So there are 5 products in this system and you need to use them 2 weeks on and two week off for 6 weeks. The instructions were pretty clear - you need to use the cleanser, serum and moisturiser every day alternating the Peel and the Masque every 2nd or 3rd day. Upon opening the products just a comment that all the packaging looks gorgeous all white, glossy and super high end.

We've been asked to talk about each product individually so here we go.

The Cleanser

One of my favourite products out of the 5 and one I will be repurchasing for sure. It comes in a pump bottle, has a light lotion consistency and smells fantastic. I use about 3 pumps but, (uh oh) i'm pretty sure you're only supposed to use one or two. That said has lasted me throughout the 6 weeks of the trial and beyond. I use my cleansers in the shower and no problems with this one here. After using this my skin feels clean and moisturised and not at all tight which is a great sign for a cleanser. I also LOVE the experience of using it, which is really important to me. I love my showers and every product I use within the glass dome needs to enhance that experience.

The Micro-Cellular Age Correcting Peel So this is my FAVOURITE product from the assortment (although it's fair to say we didn't start out as friends)! It comes in a smaller but identical bottle to the cleanser and contains 15% GLM Alpha Hydroxy Acid complex. You smooth it on every 2nd day after your cleanser. You're supposed to leave it on for 25 minutes, then rinse off. Well the first time I used it I nearly hit the roof..my skin felt so stingy I wondered it I could last the distance (to be fair they do warn you about this!) But last it I did and when I washed it off...... Boom-cha-wa-wa!! My skin just felt AMAZING, resurfaced, smooth and fabulous...just ready for the next step which is the..

Tips: Tri Collagen Accelerating Serum

Now this was probably my least favourite product in the range. The serum is to me not really a serum it is quite thick and milky..and that said it comes in a cute but impractical glass bottle with a eyedropper type top which is really unhelpful for getting the product out. I have some left in the bottom and the only way to get it out is to take the top off and bang it upside down so that's probably not ideal.

It was also difficult to separate out the benefits and the intrinsic feel good factor of this product unlike the others. That said though..i'm prepared to think of it as the 'Kale' of the Reversaderm...i.e you might not like using it but inside it's working!

Then we have the final step (in the daily system) which is ...The Anti Oxidant Regenerative Cream. (i.e the Day Moisturiser)

The packaging this comes in I really like. It comes in a bottle but then the top of it has this dinky push down thing where you lightly press down with two fingers either side and just the right amount of product comes up the top. It can be a trap for young players in the beginning as using just one finger and too much force can result in projectile of moisturiser where you least want or, expect it...but once you've mastered that..you're off!

This product was the perfect finish to this system. It glided over and gently soaked into my cleansed, peeled, serumed skin and Voila...! I seriously felt like i'd just walked out of a Salon facial.

There is one more product in the range which is the Enzymatic Detoxifying Mask. You use this once a week in place of one of your peels. For me this is the perfect mask. It not a 'dry-cracky' type mask, nor a sheet mask. It comes in a tube and you apply a thin layer, leave for 20 minutes and rinse off..gorgeous...

Phew..

So in general my experience of this system was really positive and i've rated it over all a 5/5. Yeah I could have marked it down for the serum, but I feel that would have been a bit harsh and afterall it is a system afterall. So in summary I will be repurchasing, the Cleanser the Peel, the Mask AND the Moisturiser.. and just to finish..

Did I love it? YES! Is it worth the money? YES! Would I marry it? YES Would I live with it forever? YES!

And my tips?

Don't freak out if your skin is really tight and tingly when you use the Peel for the first time (unless of course it is literally on fire..then possibly a panic is worth it). Consider it the Brazillian of Reversaderm! Hurts like hell the first time, a wee bit the 2nd time but after that..meh...and the results are worth it!

This is hugely off topic but THANK YOU for using paragraphs (and to all the others that have done too). Makes it so much easier to read rather than a big wall of text :).

Fountain of Youth

I was beyond excited to learn I was to be part of this trial. I visit a salon 4 times a year so am familiar with what to expect in terms of results and was going to be impressed if this delivered something similar. The system consists of 5 products to use with clear instructions when to use each product. The packaging is clean and classic, white, grey and silver reminiscent of salon quality products. As with any peel system, there are warnings for the tingling sensation and to stop if it was uncomfortable. The cleanser is a white lotion and has a pleasant smell. I used about 2 ½ pumps every morning and night, left it on for the recommended 2 minutes while I brushed my teeth and then washed off. I did feel a tingle when I used this, nothing awful but a definitely tingle. The serum is a gorgeous pearlescent lotion – you only need a small amount (the size of a pea) and it spreads easily. I’m not a fan of the dropper as I found it difficult to get the serum out when it was getting low. While it felt nice to apply I’m not sure if I noticed any extra benefit from using it, but I’m sure it’s helping somehow. The moisturiser is a creamy yellow, and as with the serum you only need a small amount. 1 press of the dispenser was enough to cover my entire face and neck. Neither the serum nor the moisturiser were overly scented but I prefer my skincare like that. The moisturiser absorbs beautifully and made my skin feel so nice and silky without feeling clogged. The dispenser is genius – you press either side of it and the perfect amount comes out. It means no germs or anything can get into the container. The peel is a clear, menthol scented liquid gel – it’s not a horrible deep heat scent, but a refreshing menthol that feels quite cool when you first apply. I used 2 pumps of the peel and spread across my face using my fingertips. While I did find it a bit of a hassle leaving it on for 20-30 minutes to begin with, I quickly got used to it and fit my routine around it. With the peel I definitely noticed the tingle; during the 5th week I got a bit of irritation on my neck - I think it was a combination of sitting in the crease of my neck with this hot weather so I discontinued using it on my neck and applied to just below my jawline. The mask is a beautiful lavender deep detoxifying and exfoliating mask with gorgeous ingredients such as macadamia oil and French saffron. It does warn you may feel a slight tingle as it exfoliates during the 15-20 minutes, however I didn’t ever get that sensation. I absolutely loved using the mask, again you only need a small amount, and my skin practically glowed after each use. So the results: I have definitely noticed an improvement in my skin. My skin was nowhere near as dull, I still have fine lines but nothing short of a miracle (or Botox) will get rid of those! For the price of the system I would definitely recommend it, in particular the cleanser, peel and mask.

Tips: My moisturiser spat each time I used it and then stopped working after a week or so. I actually purchased another one because I wanted to get the best results possible. But I did work out that you can unscrew the inner container - the inner valve was sitting a bit crookedly which is why it stopped working. So using a pin I pushed it up to make it level and viola - it started working again. The most important thing with using this system is to wear sunscreen every day!
