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.

noticeably fresher skin!

After accepting this trial I had a case of butterflies - my current skincare works for me, what if i was about to mess up my face? Words like 'acid' and 'peel' are kinda scary when you're talking about your face. But, accept it I had, and so I was going to do it.

I started this on the first of December which made it way easier to track the schedule - i think in future i'd try and start on the first of the month to make sure that I was keeping track of which days to do the peels and masks, because the second session, with it beginning after Xmas and happening while I was on break, confused me.

This range comes packaged as a range, in a variety of white bottles, tubes and pottles with metallic blue and black writing. It looks classy, slightly medicinal, and expensive.

The GLYCOLIC CLARIFYING CLEANSER is actually far more of a mild product than I was anticipating. It comes in a sizeable bottle equipped with a pump action dispenser This is the only dispenser that got messy, but this could be due to the fact that you use this one twice a day. The cleanser lotion is white, medium thickness and has a faint scent - nothing I can put my finger on, it just smells clean and fresh. You massage this onto damp skin for 30 seconds, leave for a couple of minutes and rinse off. This doesn't feel like it's stripping anything out of skin and it certainly doesn't feel like there is acid in it, which I was worried about. It does tingle (note: not hurt, but it's a sharp tingle) when you use it the day after a peel/mask), which can be disconcerting, but the tingle is only momentary. This also didn't remove my makeup - so I used a cleansing oil first.

The TRI-COLLAGEN ACCELERATING SERUM is the most expensive feeling product in the range. It's extreme luxury, from the dispenser being a wee dropper (implies that you should only use a little) to the luxurious feeling of this on skin. This is probably my favourite in the range - it literally feels like its rejuvenating my skin from the moment i put it on my face. It's hydrating without being at all greasy (the word 'serum' usually makes me feel oily without even touching the product!) and super lush and divine on skin. It's a thick-ish white cream with a lotion-type scent - really fresh and luxurious.

The ANTI-OXIDANT REGENERATIVE CREAM comes in some of the coolest packaging I've seen yet. It's a pottle, but with a pump lid that you simply push down on to have product pop up. It DOES dispense more than I feel necessary so I try and only 'pump' it very lightly. This is a very thick, off-white cream with a typical face cream scent. Its spreads well and hydrates beautifully, with no residue and fast absorption. When combined with the serum it genuinely feels like you're gifting your skin with a wee mini facial a couple of times a day.

Tips: But wait, there's more!

The MICRO-CELLULAR AGE CORRECTING PEEL was probably the one that was scaring me the most. I felt like it was going to be a microdermabrasion, remove layers of skin, leave me red and sore kinda deal. I was so wrong. It's a frosted thin gel that you cover your face with and leave for about 20 mins. The first few times (this is an 'every second day one) I didn't feel it at all, for the second week it's definitely more noticeable, because you're putting it on fresh skin. It has a strong chemical smell that you get used to really quickly. This is the one that really feels like it's 'working' in that my skin always feels fresher following this - and you know what? It's not red, scary looking or sore. The serum and lotion soothe any tenderness instantly but it's minimal anyway, and the fact that you use so little product means this will last for ages. This is used more as a mask - put it on, leave it 20-30 mins and wash it off. There's no visible 'peeling' involved!

Speaking of lasting for ages, the ENZYMATIC DETOXIFYING MASK, which you only use twice per cycle,for 15-20 mins per time, is an investment product really - you use such a small amount so infrequently that the cost per use isn't actually that bad. This replaces two of the peels per cycle and has a similar effect. The mask is a gorgeous pale purple shade, and is enriched with macadamia oil and saffron. It's a different kind of mask to the peel - less chemically smelling and more sort of a hydrating and replenishing feel; skin afterwards feels incredibly plump and hydrated. This is meant to detoxify and I definitely feel like my skin glows after using it.

As a whole, my skin has exhibited visible improvements over each two week cycle. I DO break out using this, from the detoxification, but apart from that the remaining skin is clear, radiant, hydrated and healthy - and the breakouts settle quickly. Moving forward I think I'll use this every few months for a skin rejuvenation, timing it so that I can be at home while doing so.

The cost will be the prohibitive factor from buying it again, and what stops me giving it a 5 star rating. It's a truly lovely range of products, which work well in conjunction with each other, but I don't honestly know if I can justify the replacement cost, which is a shame.

FINAL TIP: For the love of all that's good in the world, use sunblock. I used the Neutrogena Beach Spray and it made such a difference. I can't imagin putting the peel on sunburned skin (ouch) and sunburn on the fresh new skin would be awful too. if you're investing in this range invest in facial sunblock if you don't already have a good one!

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!

Reversing the damage

From day one i was super excited to open and try this kit. I received - Reversaderm Clarifying Cleanser with Gycolic Acid, Microcellular Age correcting peel, Tri-Collagen accelerating serum, Antioxidant Regenerative Cream and Enzymatic Detoxifying Mask. We also received a detailed sheet with what we should use each day and recommending a two week break between cycles. I love the packaging its very classy and easy to identify each item. Day one begins with the cleanser, it has a creamy texture and a couple of pumps and a rub on your wet face and this citrus scent comes out it smells really nice especially first thing in the morning. I get a little bit of tingles but nothing uncomfortable. My face feels clean but not tight and dry. Next i apply the serum to my face which is a little bit harder to get out of the bottle, it has a dropper which i can't seem to work so i use the dropper to put a few blobs on my hand and then i rub it into my face. It doesn't seem to have a scent and soaks into my skin instantly, it feels a bit tight but again not uncomfortable. Then i apply the moisturiser which comes in a round container that you have to evenly push down and the cream comes up which i find good, as it means you don't use too much as its just the right amount. The moisturiser is lovely it soaks straight in as well and doesn't seem to have a scent.

Every second night i use the Peel which is completely different from any other peel I've used. First i cleanse and remove my makeup and cleanse with the clarifying cleanser then once my skin is completely dry i apply the peel, its a clearish liquid which has a strong vitamin c smell - not overpowering thou and i put this all over my face being careful of the area around my eyes i leave this on for 25 minutes it feels nice and cool on my skin and that continues for the time i leave it on, then i rinse it off with lukewarm water and i apply the serum and moisturiser. Its a different peel for me as its not really a peel as such its more of a clear mask.

Once a week i used the Detoxifying Mask which is so yummy, it has a purplish cream colour and just feels nice going on your skin, i apply this as a thin layer after i have cleansed and my skin is dry. I keep it on for the 20 minutes and once again it has a little tingle and my face feels cool for the time i keep it on, it has a fruity macadamia scent that makes you feel a bit relaxed. I then rinse off with lukewarm water and apply the serum and moisturiser. This is such a nice mask as your skin feels so good after it and i noticed after the second time my pores on my nose seem smaller! Yay!

This procedure carries on for two weeks and then i take a break and go back to my old routine. To be honest the old routine sucks and within a couple of days i feel that my skin is back to looking a bit dull and I've a few break outs so a day before I'm ready to start again i get back into it and my skin sighs with great relief.

Tips: I have really liked this product it has made my skin a lot smoother, a bit brighter and my skin isn't as red as it was also my pores on my nose aren't as large as they were, i haven't noticed a huge difference with wrinkles but I'm lucky enough to not have too many yet anyway. My skin was quite red and scarred before i started and now I'm quite happy to go without heavy foundation and maybe just a light bb cream as its really improved it. Im a definate convert and am already looking for other option in the Dr Lewinns range that may be a good fit for me. I love the cleanser and will be purchasing more of it and also the detoxifying mask. The moisturiser is great to but i do like a daily moisturiser that has a spf in it. :)

Had to carry on in the tips area as i had so much to say but was over the limit lol Ive just purchased more from the Dr Lewinns range as i love it so much :)

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.

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

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.
