To start with, I loved the packaging and the three layers. Very well protected, small and handy, travel friendly. All have Step No. written on them like these have 3,4 and 5 for Eye Cream, Serum and Moisturiser/Night Cream.

Since it was a 7 day challenge, I used it continuously for 7 days. Then again took a break for 2-3 days to see the changes in the skin, and then was using it again. Sometimes of late, I have been using 1-2 out of all and such and not following the entire regime since I have already tested.

My review would be based on using all the 5 products together for 7 days as a challenge, and I will also add some points for the product individually.

Starting with the Firming Eye Gel, its a clear transparent gel which needs to be applied delicately on the entire eye area up and down including the sides. You can feel the cooling effect and the firming too within a minute or two. Sometimes it burnt slightly, not sure if the skin was too dry or for what reason.

The Firming Eye Gel is followed by the Hydrating Eye Cream. Its a nice creamy formula and again lightly applied all over the eye.

Of the 2 products together, few things I would like to mention: Use very very little quantity like the minutest pump on your ring finger. Blend both the ring fingers and very lightly dab or massage the eye area. DO NOT take a pea sized amount of this! I did this mistake in the first 1-2 days. The product used was too much and whenever too much eye product is used, your eyes get a little swollen the next day like you get the under bags coz the product seeps in. Also it does not really require too much qty, the minutest is enough.

I would say one can skip the Firming Gel and go only for the Hydrating Cream. Even if you compare the formulation mentioned above, both have the same, in fact Hydrating Cream has extra and I really like the creamy Hydrating Cream.

One thing I noticed is, whenever I stopped using the eye creams, the inside corner of my upper eye became very very dry and that has never been so before! I am not really sure if the skin got used to the cream or the cream has that effect that it needs to be used continuously. If its the later, I am a little scared, coz I do not want my skin to get used to a particular thing forever.

Coming to the Line Minimizing Serum which is the next step after the eye creams. I used this twice in a day along with the eye creams. So these 3 products were fixed at both times, followed by a Daily Moisturizer or a Night Cream for AM/PM. I do not have wrinkles, so I did not see a major difference which I can talk about. Its a white colored light water based cream.But its very light in texture and got absorbed nicely. Skin did feel softer and smoother eventually.

The Daily Glow Moisturizer was white colored thick cream like in texture and the Replenishing Night Cream had similar texture but its light yellow in color. You need a tiny quantity of both here again. Since these are rich and heavy, even a tiny quantity is more than enough for moisturization. I never felt the need for any other moisturiser.

In fact, I am not a fan of layering products, so using 4 products at a time was a little heavy for my skin and it left a little sheen, for which I used to dab a tissue at the end. But never once did it broke me out or anything.

When you check the ingredients, you would find all nice and pure stuff good for the skin from Walnut Oil, Rosemary Oil to Olive Oil, Sunflower Oil and eye creams have Cucumber extracts.

When all 5 products used together, I would say, my skin never felt so moisturized and hydrated, which is amazing for the winters too. Skin is softer, smoother with less visible lines and pores and there is no redness with a very very even skin tone. In my previous OOTD, I mentioned about how I am loving my skin these days and I have those pictures with no makeup on but just this regime and a lipstick.

Also these days I step out without any ounce of makeup on most of the days, not even a tinted moisturizer coz I don’t even feel the need to. I think I got to try this range at the perfect moment as my skin is more than ready for the wedding now 😀 I would definitely recommend this for brides-to-be. Also since I took a break in between, I can tell your skin would still remain soft and plump and would not return to how it was, as with most creams. Only the eye cream I am not sure of, if my skin has got used to,or if its the weather.

But the issues are its only available via a representative and also its super expensive! I think the reps might be having a good deal on the entire kit though, not really sure, would check on that. (I saw the entire Herbalife combo on Snapdeal once for Rs.13,500/-) One may skip the Firming Eye gel though, and maybe the Line Minimizing Serum if it is not really required.

Highly recommended! This stuff works.

Currently I am testing new products, but I might switch back to these just before the wedding 😀
