I wasn't sure if anyone would even respond to the thread, so I didn't tell everything.
First of all, I am prone to breakouts. When I have makeup on you can't really tell, but I'm very self conscious about it (I'm 33) and I'd really like to go to a tinted moisturizer or something light rather than the heavier foundation I'm wearing now.
My skin normally is very dry. When I would touch it it felt really rough and dry. I've been using Prescriptives for my skincare and I exfoliated several times per week.
Anyway, I went to my salon (that is where I found Pevonia) and had a facial about a week ago. At that time I purchased the glycolic cream and the exfoliating scrub. She gave me samples of 3 different types of cleansers and the Timeless Repair Cream.
Anyway, yesterday morning is when I really started noticing the difference. My face is baby smooth, my foundation goes on smoothly and stays on. The redness associated with the breakouts is almost gone! I haven't had any new breakouts since the facial, and my face looks more youthful (I really don't know how to explain it - before my skin looked dull and flat, now it's more radiant and polished looking). Even my DH has noticed
I've tried everything that I can get my hands on to help my face. I've been going to a dermatologist since I was a pre-teen, I did Accutane twice in my early 20's, I've tried Proactive (it may have worked but I was allergic to it), countless drugstore and department store skincare lines, oral and topical prescriptions, etc.
I guess I'm so surprised because I've never seen results like this before. I thought at first maybe it was just from the facial, but I've had plenty of facials before and none have produced results like this. I'm hoping someone who has used it before will see this and let me know if they have had the same experience.
