What They Say: "One of our best selling products! Our signature lotion contains chamomile, lavender, sweet melissa and honey extracts to hydrate skin. Vitamins A and D reduce the appearance of fine lines while Vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant, regenerates and soothes skin."
Jamie’s Thoughts: Right off the bat, I was irritated by the packaging on this lotion – the plastic bottle is so hard that it makes getting any lotion out a chore. Not a promising start.
I’ve kept this lotion at my desk for weeks now – with winter coming, and hand washings galore to avoid the flu, I’ve really spent some time using the product. A “welterweight” lotion, it absorbs quickly and evenly without even a HINT of greasiness. It feels water-based to the touch – perfect for ladies who like their moisturizers light. I can put it on, rub it in, and go right back to work without getting gunk all over the keyboard and mouse.
The citrus scent is very refreshing, with strong notes of orange and grapefruit. It’s a fantastic pick-me-up on a cloudy day! It also doesn’t linger, for better or for worse, and won’t stink up your office. I recommend this product.

What They Say: “Stress, hormones and environmental factors can all contribute to a breakout. Unclog your pores and get rid of a blemish with this salicylic and glycolic acid spot treatment! Vitamin C, green tea and centella extracts help prevent scarring and reduce redness. Recommended for oily and combination skin types or anyone with occasional breakouts.”
Alissa’s Opinion: It’s always hard to tell if a blemish treatment is actually working because even the most monstrous of spots will eventually disappear whether you apply something or not. I usually rate this type of product based on how much they reduce the length of time I have to live with my concealer in my right hand pocket. Based on that alone, this product falls short. I didn’t notice any difference when I used this product on my blemishes. Skinsational also claims that this stuff prevents scarring, but I think I’d have to use it a little longer to see if that holds true.

What They Say: "A must-have for those with sensitive, sunburned, blotchy or uneven skin! The oil-free cooling blue gel mask is packed with ingredients to calm skin and reduce redness and inflammation. Green tea extract provides an antioxidant boost while chamomile, calendula and azulene help skin recover and rebalance. Recommended for sensitive or irritated skin."
Jen's Experience: Sometimes it's hard to tell with peels whether they're really helping or not. This peel made my skin, suddenly irritated -- possibly due to my current cold and resultant whittling down of my skin care routine -- feel soothed as I applied the cool gel to my face. I left it on for about 15 minutes, and after I washed it away, I did notice that my face was noticably less red and felt quite soft. Upon waking, though, same irritated skin, but a little on the dry side. I've used it since then and have continued to notice a temporary improvement in my skin tone immediately after I use it, but my skin is also a little drier as a result. I really like how it feels going on, but I don't think this is the product for those of us who have both sensitive and dry skin.
