Review- Cosmedix Define

A unique blend of gentle acids and 2% AGP Complex, Define is designed to push the activity of the skin to a very dynamic yet well-tolerated level of remodeling. This powerful vitamin A resurfacing treatment exfoliates and remodels the skin’s layers, stimulating collagen and elastin production while mildly hydrating. $74 for 1 oz.

Yay for Vitamin A! I am in love with Vitamin A treatments since I have seen the most visible change when using it in my regime. The Cosmedix rocks like any other and is even a bit more gentle and loving than most. I used it liberally (and did slather sunscreen on during the day with more consideration) every night for several weeks and spots are brightened, (I have this maddeningly annoying freckle attached to my bottom lip that is practically negligible) pores are smaller and my crow's feet and eyebrow wrinkle have softened. The scent took a second to get used to since it's not a typical moisturizer scent (whatever that means) and neither is it medicinal but just kind of tart or pungent. I went from the Avon Gold Emulsion (see review if interested) right to this and feared a little bit for the state of my skin with two heavy-duty things back to back but that's where this stuff pleasantly surprised me the most. It's as gentle as it is effective and even though I withstood the slight, ahem, "tingle" after applying it, that was the extent of my suffering for beauty!

Guest Reviewer Lulu says: I want to recommend a derma e. creme called Skinbiotics Treatment Creme. I had some sort of a rash/reaction to something on my hand between 2 of my fingers, and it wouldn't go away! I tried a few products and they were OK in calming it down but it didn't really disappear and every few days it would become bad again. It already looked like some kind of an eczema and the skin was dry there were little cracks and cuts. In any case I was part of a make up class that luckily for me, the founder of this site Hillary attended. She was nice enough to suggest the cream and even bring a sample next day. The creme did in 2-3 days what the others didn't do for weeks! It was amazing! I'm out of the sample and about to get the whole thing at the store because until I figure out what it is from (it still at times becomes worse) my hopes are that with the Derma E. creme it will disappear and heal much faster.

Guest Reviewer Dermot says: I recently developed eczema on the palms of both of my hands. It came on suddenly and completely covered my palms. I saw the dermatologist and he gave me a cream to soften and eliminate the eczema, but I had read on the internet that when a case is this bad, one will often develop cuts and wounds from how dry one's skin is. Around this time, my wife, Hillary, got me the derma e Skinbiotics Treatment Creme. I used it religiously on my hands and I'm glad to say despite very high chances of getting an infection, I never did. My hands are back to normal now and I think I owe part of my trouble-free recovery to this product.
