QUOTE(Cramsession @ Feb 15 2006, 09:20 PM) [snapback]977919[/snapback] I'm reluctant to to back on this type of product though because I have been off of Retin-A for about 4 months and I really don't want to go back through the break-in period with Retin-A (or Retinol, if it does the same thing) where from about week 6 through week 12 your skin breaks out horribly while everything works its way to the surface. Does Retinol do this like Retin-A does? Thanks again for the reply and the help. That's why I started with the level 3. I have sensitive skin and I didn't want any huge breakouts or overdrying. The little drying I did have was not too bad especially since I used the green cream at night. I haven't had any breakouts due to purging. QUOTE(Arti @ Feb 15 2006, 10:22 PM) [snapback]978022[/snapback] Do you guys use sunscreen like it says in the product description? Yes. You should always use sunscreen whether you're using green cream or not. |

Just got my level 3 sample today. I have trouble remembering sunscreen too. People were always telling me that it's not as important because of my dark skintone.

Well I got the two hormonal pimples I expected. They didn't get too big or too red but they still hurt. They turned into whiteheads and I popped them. Don't yell at me for that! I know better but it's the only way that relieves the sorness. But both of them were almost gone the next day. They usually last 3+ days. I don't mind having a pimple for day! I can deal with that especially if it's just once a month. lol
My face is much smoother and just keeps looking better. I still have clogged pores that will probably need the Level 6 but I'm sticking to the 3 until I run out. Don't want to do too much too fast!

Just because you have a darker complexion doesn't mean you won't be affected by the sun. |

I started using Green Cream level 3 this week. So far, I have used it twice. The first night, I did experience a slight burning sensation. When I woke up the next day, I noticed that my skin looked a bit fresher. I used it again last night and I couldn't even tell I had anything on my skin. I notice a very slight purging going on in places that I am not surprised. But, they are tiny and barely noticable
I really want to buy a full size jar, but I think I'm going to get another sample but of level 6 this time to see if my skin agrees with it or not. It seems that I will be able to use level 3 everynight without a problem. Should I order a 6 for my face if it tolerates the sample well and 3 for my chest and upper arms? Or, can 6 be used without a problem on the body as well. I'm sure you could answer this ? Q. |

LEvel 6 is out of stock and level 3 (cheaper) costs $16 (total) to send ! ouch! how much do you get? Being a barmy Brit, I only know mls |

Well, I can use 6 on my face, chest, and upper arms with no difficulty at all ... my neck is still a problem area. Right now, I'm only putting GC on it every 3rd or 4th day because it is so much more sensitive. I think if you are willing to ease into using the level 6, you shouldn't have a problem ... but be aware that it is quite a bit more powerful than the level 3.

I just ordered my first jar of Level 9 from Linda Sy -- it should be here Wednesday. I also posted over on the Green Cream board to see if anyone there has suggestions about how to make the transition from Level 6 to Level 9.
I'm currently using L6 twice a day, and am not sure whether to continue at this frequency, substituting the Level 9 occasionally -- or if I should drop the L6 altogether and just start easing into the L9. If I get any useful info, I will share! Q UPDATE: Kevin on the GC board already got back to me ... that was quick! He says that I should continue with my L6 2x daily, except for 2 days a week when I should use the L9 once. I can gradually increase this to 3 days a week, etc. And, of course, he says to stop if my skin gets irritated. Seems like that pattern would also work for transitioning from L3 to L6.

Anyone got the samples from cosmeticville? I want a sample of the 6 too but they say one sample per person. Where else can you get samples? How big were yours? for $10 I got .15 sz. Good thread Queen.

I think the first thing you notice is your skin starts to feel smoother. |

Does this cream help with redmarks? I'm confused

Death has always defined us. The first creatures to laugh were also the first creatures that knew they were to die. Self-awareness means, above all, awareness of one's own ultimate extinction. But looking at death is like staring at the sun. It cannot be done. |
