Dr Lewinns Reversaderm Complete System Review

Inside the courier box was a plain black paper bag with string handles. Inside this bag were 5 products all pearly white with silver bandedlids and silver printing on each container and a booklet explaining each product. This was a very nice impact and a really classy look. Products made in Australia. The Booklet advised what each product does and template showing when to use to use each product. The Cleanser is in a tall cylinder shaped pump container .The cleanser is a white lotion which you massage in and leave for 2 minutes before rinsing off. Initially this was a bit tingly on my skin . It has a very nice fruity ,paw paw type scent. The Serum is in a dumpy container with a dropper in the lid . The white Serum had a low scent and disappeared immediately into my skin. The dropper I found a bit useless. The Moisturiser is in a round stubby container. The lid looks too heavy for the container. Inside is a creamy coloured mousse style . This cream has a buttery scent, fruity, heavier than the cleanser. The top has a stopper in the top and the lid is a pump which made the product easy to use. These three products are the daily essentials. Time for the first peel - this was a total first for me. The product is in a canister style pump cylinder similar to the cleanser but shorter. The lotion was a white creamy solution and I applied as advised with a massage to my skin avoiding the eye area . My skin immediately felt sharp prickles but again this had been forewarned. The scent is strong and minty. After ten minutes the tingling abated and the product had a really cold effect on my skin. Finally the mask at the end of the week . This product is in a tube -white of course and a silver lid. By Day 4 the cleanser is less tingly ,the serum just disappears into the skin ,the moisturiser feels smooth and easy to use and the peel smells really minty and chills, so skin feels cold and crisp. After moisturising when peel has been used the skin feels really warm. Finally mask time. Big surprise the product inside the tube is a light mauve colour with a light fruity scent. This is easy to apply and does not dry. After 20 minutes you rinse off and even after first use my skin felt really fresh. A pimple which shows day 11 disappeared by day thirteen and I also noticed an on going dry patch which I have had forever on my cheek reducing in density. I am at the two week break and my old products feel thick and heavy and my skin is losing the lovely glow - Starting the second cycle my skin was more sensitive initially to the cleanser and peel. The cleanser is the best I have used. The serum is annoying as I find the dropper useless . The peel makes my skin really clear and fresh. The moisturiser is easy to use and non greasy. Not sure if my wrinkles have reduced but I feel my skin is so much clearer, softer and brighter and dryness reduced considerably and my pores so much finer.

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..

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.

As the 'mother of the bride' later this year I was really excited to be selected for this trial! ~Glycolic Claryifying Cleanser~ The smell of this cleanser is devine! I only needed one pump which was enough for my face and neck. It tingled very briefly when I first used it (as noted on the bottle that it may do) but not again after that. It didn't foam up and didn't leave me with that 'grabbing' feeling some cleansers do. It washed off nice and easily. After using it for the full trial period, it still feels at least half full. Overall, I loved how my skin felt after using this cleanser and was not screaming out to quickly put moisturizer on! And whats more, my skin was really clean. ~Tri-Collagen Accelerating Serum~ I was surprised at the size of this bottle. It is the smallest of all the products at just 30ml. I felt the eye dropper wasn't really long enough to be able to reach all of the serum. I have used at least 2/3 of the bottle. It has a very faint scent which I didn't like. It isn't a liquid and not a cream so somewhere in between. I only needed a small amount to cover both my face and neck. It dried quite quickly once applied. ~Antioxidant Regenerative Cream~ The pump on this container ensured there would be no contamination of the product at any time. When I first used it, I had to pump it a few times before any came out and when it did, it was with a spurt. It took a few days to work out how much to push the pump down so as to avoid getting too much out. After the first few days it wouldn't pump so I took the lid off, tapped it on the bench and it came right. I've probably used 3/4 of the cream. I loved this moisturizer! It spread easily on my skin, didn't leave a greasy feeling and my skin loved it! Like the serum, it has a faint scent but much nicer which disappears once applied. ~Micro-Cellular Age Correcting Peel~ I was a bit nervous about using this as I haven't really used one before. I could just smell the witch hazel but it doesn't linger. The clear liquid spreads very easily and then dries on the skin to be left for 20-30 minutes. I didn't expect to have to wash it off - I thought I would have to 'peel' it off so washing it is much easier! I didn't feel any tingling at any time. ~Enzymatic Detoxifying Mask~ This mask is true to it's word. It's gentle and light-weight. I loved the smell of this product too (similar to the cleanser) and like the peel was easy to wash off after the required time to be left on the skin. Again, I didn't feel any tingling. It's not sticky and dried on my skin. ~~CONCLUSION~~ Love, love, love! My skin feels fantastic and definitely looks clearer. My makeup goes on so much better and looks fresher for longer. The scarring on my forehead has definitely improved as have the fine lines around my lips. The dry patch I had on my cheek has gone. My family can see the difference. I will definitely continue to use it. I have never had results like this before!

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.

I think like everyone on this trial I was so excited to be one of the lucky to try this out!

I waited for my parcel to arrive.... would my face peel off? Would I wake up with my 18 year old self's skin but with my wisdom (obviously)? I couldn't wait to find out.

And the courier finally delivered my goods they arrived in stylish white sleek packaging with very detailed instructions. With a cup of tea (*cough* adult apple juice *cough*) I read the detailed instructions. Now I am a keep it simple kind of girl so I was worried I would be overly confused by this all - so in case my goldfish brain took over I placed the instructions in the bathroom for the first few days but by week two I had it figured out.

I love pumps, no mess and it is so easy to get the product out - the 'Antioxidant Regenerative Cream' is insanely good. Not only is the pump so fancy I squealed when using it. It is also my favourite of the bunch. Honestly I am sure it is the sole reason I no longer get those super dry almost scale patches on my face (yes I liked to think that made me one step closer to a mermaid but they felt horrible!). Every thing from the smell, feel and pump of this product has wowed me.

I also enjoyed the peel but I reduced the amount I was using and didn't put it near my mouth/ lips area because I am just a little more prone to issues there and then it was perfect! I love that you can change it up to suit your skin and it works perfectly.

If I had to choose a product I was not a fan of it would be the 'Tri-Collagen Accelerating Serum' and the only fault I can give it is that it should be in a pump. It is a pain to get out. But the product is so good I will look past the eye dropper because honestly it leaves my skin feeling like I just had an amazing facial. Life changing.

So the end results...... drum roll please...... Did my face peel off? No. But you really should wear sunscreen while using this. I know that might seem silly but your burn time is halved if not more than that. Your skin is sensitive so be nice to it or you really will burn. That goes for your neck too. I learnt that the hard way in week 5.

Did my skin look like I was 18 while keeping all my wisdom? Well.... no. I still look the same I am afraid but does it feel as soft as my 18 year old skin did - YOU BET IT DOES!!!!! Without all the pimples which is obviously amazing. I was left with super moisturised skin. The best pay off was at a wedding on friday just gone and one of the girls asked me what my secret was.... with glee I told her my doctor in a bottle! She thought I meant dr who...... after a quick chat she learnt the magic that is this complete kit.

It is a huge investment I get that but man o man, I can say with all honesty this product has changed my face routine forever. You need to try this for yourself. It is worth every penny.
