Yes, the products here are pricey, but THEYWORK considerably better than anything I’ve ever tried before, including products that were equally pricey. I’ve used a variety of Amino Genesis products now, and my favorites are, in this order with regard to immediacy of results: the the DermaScyne Intense Daily Serum, the Therapeutic Facial Repair Formula(the basic face cream), Gone in 60 Seconds, and Cocoon, the all-over body lotion. Yes, they’re all pricey, but remember that with all of these products, a little bit goes a l-o-n-g way. I’ve also found that for me, personally, contrary to the directions on the packaging, applying the product while the skin is still damp rather than dry, makes it even more noticeably effective. The DermaScyne gave my skin a youthful clarity and nearly porcelain-like look within hours — my husband even mentioned it, without any invitation on my part. It also reduced the size of my pores after only a few days of regular use. The Facial Repair pretty much made fine lines disappear on my weahter-beaten, freckled skin, after the first week or two, and after extended diligent use(about 8 months), I am noticing what’s approaching significant reduction in very deep laugh/frown lines etched around my mouth and above the bridge of my nose. My husband started using it because he was born with a skin condition a little like psoriasis. It has worked great in that regard, but there was an added surprise: it literally DISAPPEARED an ugly bimpy knob on my husband’s forehead of the type he’s had removed many times in the past by dermotologists. He actually cancelled an appointment he’d made earlier to have the thing removed, so the product paid for itself in doctor’s appointment deductable, time, and gas. I admit I was pretty disappointed with the Gone in 60 Seconds product because it had no effect on reducing deep lines ATALL … then I tried it on the bags under my eyes, and WOW!!! I’m here to tell you, it EVAPORATED those sagging suitcases like magic, a pure miracle. Highly recommended, and I always have TWO of them around — and remember, a little bit of this stuff goes a LONG way. It was quite awhile before I tried the Cocoon — I mean, come on, $ 44 for body lotion? Get OUT! I got it as a «freebie» with the Tripeptenon package(a darned good deal — look into it) and holy mackerel. Really, the skin on my freckled, sun-beaten arms and legs(I’m 54 and have taken a lot of unprotected sun over the decades). while always decent enough in appearance because I’ve always moisturized after showering, really took on a whole new youthful look. The skin on my deeply freckled arms looks 20 years younger — it is weird, but in a good way. All these products far exceeded my expectations. Yes, it’s expensive … so I pay a lot of attention to Amino Genesis’ occasional sales and package deals, reprioritize my budget, and do my best to accommodate the costs. If any skin care line is worth it, it’s this one.
