What They Say: (about the Winter Cleanser) "Balanced for winter use, our cleanser is infused with Chamomile extracts and algae peptides to create an antioxidant moisture wash that gently removes impurities while soothing and hydrating the skin. Daily use promotes softer, smoother skin and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and surface dryness.

Algae peptides: derived from Hawaiian red sea algae. Ensure deep hydration and deliver nourishing antioxidants to the skin while increasing cell renewal. This is particularly effective during the winter months, when metabolism decreases. Also promote collagen formation to smooth skin creases, resulting in a firmer skin appearance."

Melissa's DeLush Downlow: This gel-like cleanser seems to remove makeup very well, and did not leave my skin tight or dry-feeling. In fact, after patting my face dry my skin would still feel supple and hydrated, and very soft. Typically in winter I get dry patches fairly easily, as well as a bit of redness along with them. I did notice a reduction in this occurrence while using the trio as well. The only negative I found was that the scent of this product was a bit medicinal. If this could be improved, it would help to make this an even more skin-pampering product. One other thing to note is that the pump-dispensing container is HUGE. It will last a very long time.

What They Say: (about the Winter Moisturizer) "Our super-hydrating moisturizer helps create an enriched shield between your skin and the harsh winter environment. Beta-carotene derived from winter-harvest carrots strengthens the skin's defense against environmental damage. Super-hydrating lipids help replace moisture lost throughout the winter. Replenishing Algae Peptides ensure deep hydration and help boost cell renewal during the slower-metabolic winter months. A hint of Lavender essential oil promotes a sense of overall well-being.

Melissa's DeLush Downlow: I've been finding this moisturizer quite soothing over the past few weeks. I typically apply it at night, using a generous amount and letting it soak into my skin overnight. But I've also on several occasions used a very thin layer under my sunscreen before applying makeup in the morning. What's been a positive thing for me in that respect is that this has not created excess oil on my face during the day, even though it is slighly richer than some moisturizers. Instead, it helps my skin to feel comfortable instead of dry and itchy from all of the drying indoor heat I spend all day in.

What They Say: (about the Winter Oxy-Boost Mask) "This feather-light mask hydrates and awakens the skin's youthful glow by renewing the oxygen consumption within the cells. This is especially important during the harsh winter months and at high altitudes where oxygen is less prevalent in the air. Imparts a healthy radiance and velvety texture to the skin. Also promotes a firmer, more youthful skin appearance and lifts and plumps skin, revealing dramatic visible results.

Lifts and plumps skin."

Melissa's DeLush Downlow: The mask in this trio is also of a gel consistency, and is very light going on. It's also immediately cooling. It is recommended that you leave it on for at least 20 minutes, and they say you can use it up to several times per week. I will say that while I noticed a bit of a tightening feeling after use (sort of that "squeaky" feeling common after using some cleansing products), it wasn't intense and was immediately alleviated by following up with the Winter Moisturizer. I suppose the lifting and plumping, which I've noticed only slightly from a visual perspective, was the cause of this tight feeling. I think the thing which I notice most visibly after using the mask is a reduction in dullness. However, it's the FEEL of my skin that has been most impressive.

For this reason I feel like the moisturizer and cleanser have been most beneficial to me so far, although the mask has its impact as well.
