Acne Skin Care Treatments

Day 93

For those of you following this review, I have almost reached day 100 on using this skin care treatment. I have a couple positives to note – one unexpected for sure – my hands are looking better. This is the one area I would not have thought would show a difference yet, since I can only put the cream on my hands at night, yet what can I say – they are looking better than I have seen in a long long time.

Secondly, someone I’ve known for years, and see about once a year,  walked by me on July 13 at the grocery store and shook her head, and told me I never age, and said “what’s your secret?” as she contined walking by. As she didn’t stop to talk, I didn’t bother telling her what I was experimenting with.

I still  cannot sell this cream with great confidence yet – I don’t see the line going from nose to mouth looking better yet, maybe because I sleep on my side and don’t use a satin pillow case, but oh well. I think I see an improvement around my eye area, but am not positive about that yet. My skin still feels firmer, which is a surprise for me, as I never had much belief in creams firming anything up.

I no longer have a slight color from using the cream during the day, which is fine with me, as its summer anyway. I don’t use this on my nose during the day, as I don’t think having a luminous quality to that area is recommended.

I have been faithful using this cream twice a day, every day, with the exception of a rare night here and a morning there, but otherwise, I’ve really tried to keep this easy routine going.  I’m glad I’m only being billed for it every 60 days now, as it is a more realistic time period to use up this cream. I’ll post about this again in another month.

Day 63

It’s been another month since my last post about this anti-aging cream that is also an acne cream. As some of you may have noticed there is a lot of coverage about this cream on the net, but you have to make sure you are reading not just the reviews that Lifecell puts out there, but non-biased entries from people who have actually tried it and are giving their feedback.

I did notice that two celebrities that were not on the ads, are now willing to have their name affiliated with this cream – Deidre Hall and Paula Abduhl , who many of you are familiar with. They both use this cream according to the site. I’ve always wondered how Deidre Hall managed to look so incredible.

So, I called Lifecell today because I am being billed every month like clockwork, and therefore receive my package about every six weeks. That is too soon for me, and after reading of what others had done, i.e. calling Lifecell to have their automatic shipment with a discount, billed and sent with a longer period in between each billing, I decided to give them a call.

Lifecell agreed to have me billed at every 60 days, which is more agreeable for me, considering what I am paying. They later emailed me today and told me that Paypal is not allowing that flexibility to change shipment dates, and they sent a link in which I can would start all over again with a new subscription with paypal as my payment method as usual, but I could start the billing 90 days later. So the subscription would start the day I allowed paypal to start with me again, but I would not be billed until 90 days later. Then that would be my fixed time of being billed regularly.  I still get my discount each time they bill me, but I don’t feel like I am being rushed into another tube before I need it. Sounds good to me. However, I had asked for 60 days inbetween billings, as 90 days is too long in between, and I would run out before that.

So, what’s new with my face. Let’s see. I can agree with some other people on their entries that my face feels firmer. I know that I said in my first post that I don’t see my skin sagging, but my face still feels firmer, and it isn’t just my imagination. I also still get some light coloring on my face which is nice – it doesn’t make my skin look ruddy or anything, but it does add a bit of natural looking color I think from the ingredients stimulating the skin.

Can I recommend this product as one of the highly effective skin care products to you yet? Nope, not yet. I do believe that there is the high possibility this cream really works amazingly well, and I like how my skin is looking, but would I say it has done a phenemonal job on my wrinkles around my eyes and nose to mouth area, or above my lip area? No, I wouldn’t be willing to go out on a limb to say that yet. I think it is working, but I want to see how long it takes before I can give you an honestly high rating of this cream.

Day 34

For those of you wondering how my experiment as the guinea pig in testing this cream has been going, I unfortunately do not have the greatest news yet. I think that the cream is working on my skin, as there is a slight color from the stimulation of the cream, and I have a nice texture during the day or night when its on. I have a luminous quality to my skin. I think that the lines around my eyes are diminishing, but the ones around my mouth and above my lip do not seem to be improving whatsoever. The overall appearance when I examine under a magnifying mirror, simply does not look improved enough for me. I don’t feel I can recommend this product yet as the best wrinkle cream in a skin care product even though the reviews point to this as an incredible wrinkle remover. Since skin care treatments and anti-aging treatments can take up to six months to show a marked improvement, I am thinking I will keep this up for six months and if by then I cannot see a noticeable improvement, then I have gone through the hassle and fortunately you will not have, because of my results. There is a 120 day money back guarantee so I am not even close to that time. Another bottle is on its way to me.  So I will keep people posted once per month.

Day 19

For those of you curious enough to follow how this cream is working, I had to take a week off from using it. Remember when I wrote in my first week how sensitive my eyes can be – well, I was in Vancouver last weekend, got a strong enough soap in my eyes, and had to deal with that extremely sensitive eye for almost an entire week; hence, I had to stop using the cream while I constantly dabbed on my eye which was basically shedding tears for 6 days and being a nasty shade of red. Thankfully that is over, and tonight I’ll be starting again.

So, there is a lapse, and this review post is day 19 of use, not of calendar days as previously planned.

Day 12

Well, we should do the bad news first, otherwise you will be quickly scanning the good to get to the bad and miss all the good. So, the bad news is, my skin did not look wonderful right way. I did not get a firmness nor tightness or uplift immediately and my face did not look fabulous the next day nor did it look younger the next day nor next few days. I have high expectations for a skin care product with a lot of reviews indicating this is the best wrinkle cream.

Now however I feel I have something good to report. My skin is looking better. My pores are not tightened up yet, my blackheads are still there when I look in the magnifying mirror, but my face is luminous during the day even under makeup. I’ve also noticed people looking at me more. My area I tend to wrinkle more under my left eye is less noticeable. Could this be that long awaited effective wrinkle remover?

Another good bit of information is that I do not break out with this product whatsoever. That means whatever oil there may be in this cream, it is not devastating to my skin like others normally are. I can also dab it on the under-eye area and it does not irritate my eyes like other creams have in the past. When I said in my first post on this review that I had not used any product in the last decade, well I should correct that and say I tried about twice, and my attempts lasted for about two days, because any under-eye cream always irritated the heck out of my eyes and was not worth the pain and tears and smeared makeup. Even some foundations bothered my under-eye area. I cannot believe this cream does not bother my eyes because I put it right there where the crows feet are, and it has a chance to get into my eye. Sun block cannot be near my eyes, but this can. I’m thrilled with that aspect.

Do I look any better yet? I would say yes, my skin is looking better, but we have a long way to go before I can say it looks great. I’m glad I ordered the product to be renewed every six weeks at a big discounted rate, because I want to keep going with this, and I will need the new tube by the sixth week. I haven’t missed a day or evening with this skin care treatment, and that my dear folks, is the first time I can honestly say that.

April 28, 2009

My Lifecell Cream came to the post office today. Besides being somewhat disappointed that they actually label the side of the box as to what is inside, I’m glad it has arrived. Yes, I am a private person and hoping people have no clue as to what I receive in the mail.

Speaking of private, I decided to publicly enter my private experiences on this product so that I could sell this cream in good conscience. It is expensive compared to many out there, but I’ve seen ones by famous brand names such as Shesheido, that are coming up with ones over 1000.00 I’ve been told, and Lifecell is not even close to that amount and yet is getting rave reviews. I even checked out the dermatologist making the claims on this brand.

So, what do I want to work on? I’m 46 years old, with a line on either side of my nose going to my outer lips. Speaking of lips, I wish mine were a bit fuller. I want some lines on my neck to be diminished, and my left eye area seems to have wrinkles in the morning close to my nose, likely from the way I sleep, but those wrinkles stay there for a good part of the day, and in cold weather, appear more prominent. I have some crows feet but not much. My skin is not sagging that I can see. I don’t appreciate the texture of my skin anymore. When I look in the magnified mirror, I’m appalled at the tiny blackheads that I couldn’t see around my nose area, and between my brows, as I wasn’t wearing my reading glasses, and my sight has changed in the last year or so. I also want the pores on my face to be closed and tight. In other words, I want flawless skin.  I thought my skin was pretty good, but after seeing a woman during a piano recital sitting next to me, who had five children and was my age, with gorgeous smooth skin, meaning no pores, absolutely free from any blemish and no makeup on, I realized I had more to attain to, and that I had better try harder.  After all, I’ve been using nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing except soap and water in the last decade. I don’t appreciate the many moisturizers out there becuase I don’t need them, and I don’t see miraculous transformations on people’s faces from the many anti-aging creams on drug store shelves, or in department stores. I was a firm believer of ingesting the right foods and vitamins to give me good skin, and I think following the book The Natural Way to Super Beauty when I was a teenager and an adult, really helped my skin. However, in the last ten years, I’ve stopped taking vitamins and minerals for the most part, and I think they made a huge difference, plus I didn’t get enough greens and fruits compared to what I should have.  Now I’m back on my vitamins/minerals daily but know that could take six months before I start seeing the results on my skin. I also think I need more help at this stage and if this product works a few miracles, maybe I’ll change my thinking about at least one anti-aging product.

The back of my hands also bother me. I cannot bear the way they look so aged compared to the rest of me, and this will be a good place to see a noticeable difference – maybe. The problem is, we all wash our hands throughout the day several times, or at least I hope we do, and so it may be difficult to gauge this area the same as my face and neck, where the cream will stay on all day. I’ll have slower expectations on my hand area simply because nighttime will be the only real time it has a chance to penetrate deeply.

My other hope is that this cream doesn’t make me break out, as I have my acne under control and except during my monthly cycle, don’t normally have many breakouts. I have sensitive skin, and oil can wreak havoc on my face, which is why my makeup is oil-free always. They claim this cream helps acne, so I guess we’ll see.

I’ll write in this weekly to bi-weekly, unless I see something fabulous I want to share about this product sooner.

Mary.
