That’s a great idea! I’ll get to it tonight and upload it. Thanks for the request 😀
you should do a video on your hair routine 🙂
great video!
Thank you so very much for your response! Have a great day, and B-T-W, I adore your puppies – I giggle when they try to interrupt you 😉
Absolutely-it’s a great skin care line. For me, for whatever reason, it all just stopped working. Of all the Olay products, the Night Recovery is still my favorite.
Totally interested in trying Dermaquest in the near future, but…I after seeing a couple of your older skincare vids, I was wondering if you still liked Olay’s Regenerist Night Recovery Moisture Cream? At the moment, I need a cheaper alternative and your review of it then was glowing! Your skin looked amazing as well. 🙂 If you were forced to go back to store bought stuff, would you consider picking it up again?
I was using topical prescription ointments and an antibiotic. You can absolutely continue to use the BP with the Balancing Kit, but you might find that you don’t need it!
Great video! I’ve just started using the Balancing Kit myself. You mention that after 3 days you were able to discontinue your meds. By this do you mean topical acne treatments? I’m wondering whether I should continue Benzoyl Peroxide whilst using the Balancing Kit or whether it’s safe to drop it??
The cleanser has a very light, almost fruity scent, but it’s barely discernible. The other products have no scent at all.
I used it all up, tried their age management kit, and decided I liked the balancing kit better. I’ve decided to just stay on it forever.
How long do you use the Balancing Kit before going to the next level on the skin care line?
do these products have a scent?
Great to see this video. I am so happy to know you found something that is working for you!
I should have been clearer-I definitely put on more than a pea sized amount for my sunscreen. Also, the DermaQuest foundation also has an SPF of 30, so I’m pretty covered. Haven’t gotten any color on my face yet, so I guess it’s working!
Hello Marnie, very intriguing products! Have you tried floating a full bottle and an empty bottle in a bucket of water? I hear that if it’s empty, it floats differently. Anyways, for the sunscreen, you mentioned only a pea-sized amount is necessary. Living in a sun state, you know that you need a good amount of sunscreen applied to face to get the spf proclaimed on the bottle. Are you noticing anything less w/the amount you are using with this or are you using another spf atop this one?
Thank U
Nope!
Do these products have any parabens ?
Hey,
love the video! Too bad the other skin care line didn’t work for you especially since it was sooo expensive! I love the new Clarins line (Eclat du jour). I had that in my glossybox and got to try it. I also got a thing that kinda works like the Clearsonic (which we don’t have here)! What i do is that i keep one of the small kits for when I travel and get the bigger bottles for at home use!
Marnie! Thanks so much for sharing your little beauty secret. I have been waiting for your skincare reveiw, since you mentioned it along with the foundation. I was looking for a new product line. I have been using Philosophy and, it was fine for years, but lately….not so much! I have added other products, and now I keep swinging back and forth too dry, oily…yuk! Time to re-adjust my routine, and maybe give this a try. =D
Thank you for the wonderful videos!!! So far I have purchased everything you have recommended and have LOVED all the products! I have not heard of this company before you mentioned it but I’m thinking it will be a good investment! keep up the good work LOVE all the videos!! I am waiting for the next installment of Lifewithgoldgirl as well!
I figured that was why they’re opaque. 🙁
The balancing kit works for all skin types. If you go on the DermStore website, you can actually “chat” with Colleen, the director of education for Dermaquest and she can address your specific skin issues.
I’m pretty sure it was. If you look up the reviews on Makeup Alley, many people had the same problem. It’s too bad, because it’s a wonderful product.
Okay…wow..dermstore is an absolutely addicting website. So many interesting products & brands I haven’t heard much about. Thanks so much for sharing—-my wallet might not be happy—but I am! 🙂
I was lucky not to have acne as a teenager. However, I developed acne during my pregnancy with my son. My son will be three next month and I still have acne. Your skin looks more and more amazing with each video. Hopefully I will get a chance to try this line soon.
Thanks for the review, Marnie! I think it’s great that the bottles are opaque because light degrades antioxidants and other active ingredients and renders them useless. So does air, so the pumps are good too. But yes, agree, nice to be able to see how much product you have left, especially when you can’t just run out to Target and buy some more. 🙂
I am Brazilian but i can understand everything that you say, love your videos! ;D
Hi Marnie, was it the Chanel bronze universal/soleil that broke you out? I have been craving to get but am scared that its going to break me out since I have acne-prone skin. I tried finding it in your other vids since I remember you mentioning it but couldn’t find it
