Pros:

The overnight cream feels good on your face after it dries. Makes the skin feel soft. Other than that, I cannot recommend any part of this product. Over the counter microdermabrasion kits worked just as well and cost less.

Cons:

Did nothing for the wrinkles, skin tone, age spots. No phone or contact number online for help or problem resolutions. It's like if you can't find your original shipping invoice, you are out of luck. That is the only place with your account number

I ordered this orginally for a month supply at 35.90 (Sept 12 they charged my card, order received Oct 6), then they charged my credit card another 97.80, (Oct 17) 30 days later but it was another introductory kit, not the 90 day supply. I have received 2-30 day orders total. They are now attempting to charge my account again (Jan 5) and after 45 minutes on the phone, I may or may not receive a refund. She stated that a 90 day supply was shipped. I received a 30 day supply and waited and phoned and waited and phoned and and still no product. I attempted to cancel my account and then this new charge showed up. I would not recommend any of these products or this company to anyone for any reason. It is sad that a person such as Susan Lucci claims this as a company she represents. The whole thing is a joke and the customer service is abhorrable.

Pros:

Does appear to take away the flaky dry top layer of the skin to leave skin looking fresh & invigorated.

Cons:

Don't like the fragrance at all - smells cheap to me.

Product is OK but don't like the hardsell - that you can't just order the once and order again if you like it. I was told that you could cancel afte r the first order - which I guess is some consolation!

Pros:

Easy to use

Cons:

It worked good for 2 weeks then i got tons of little bumps on my jaw line chin and under my eyes, my skin used to look decent and even now it really looks bad I look older. I thought it was just me but my mom said the same thing happen to her

Waste of money go to a professional.

Pros:

Easy to use.

Cons:

You can have a delayed reaction from it.

I have been using it and I broke out real bad. My skin has become really bad. My skin was fine before. I just wanted to get the dead skins out and for my pores. Have stopped using it for 2 weeks now. I got a bad rash like thing around my chin area and lower cheek. And they came up after a week of not using it. Also a few other pimples have also come out and have left marks.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Does not work well at all. Absolutely no difference. It is impossible to get rid of this company. They will send you packages and keep charging you even after you have cancelled.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT

Pros:

I have always had trouble with blackheads and have tried many different blackhead scrubs. Youthful Essence had diminished the problem. It has made my skin feel smoother and softer.

Cons:

I have only been using for 1month, I just made my second order and found that it is cheaper to order by using their create a kit program. Two of the sales reps. didn't give me the correct information regarding payment, two others where very helpfull

They give a 60 or a 90 day return policy. I will continue using to see if eye and forehead wrinkles start to diminish. I have been satisfied with this product so far. There are so many to use, Its hard to know which one will work. But so far so good!

Pros:

It works like most products, Doesnt leave a greasey feel. Pleasant smell.Can have product sent to your home.

Cons:

Doesn't work any better than most products. Haven't seen any great change in skin. Do break out with the odd pimple. Wrinkles,not many but hasn't made a difference in appearance.

You can get same results from any product that works well with your skin type. If you like to exfol. with the tool it does leave a relaxed feeling, but you could use a washclothe to apply an exfol. on your own.

Pros:

NONE!!!

Cons:

I had the hardest time getting the lid off to put the batteries in. Finally got the batteries in. The vibrating sponge didn't do much of anything. I used this product 3 times before it stopped working. I thought that it just needed new batteries, so I replaced the batteries and it still doesn't work!!!!

I would not recommend this product to anyone!!! I knew that it looked cheap when I got it, but I gave it the benefit of the doubt. In this case, the looks were not deceiving!!!

Pros:

none, the product looks cheaply made and the residue is hard to rinse off

Cons:

You don't want unauthorized payment of $97.80 from ur bank,do ya?

It's unethical online business practice. I ordered the youthful essence basic kit ($29.95+shipping). After a month i saw $97.8 withdraw pending in my bank from this company. Who would pay $97.8 on cheap products like these? I contact the consumer service after seeing the $97.8 withdraw, they said they have closed my y-e account and everything's good, but a couple of days later the withdraw appears again, and this time is too late for me to do anything, the money is already gone. I doubt they will return the money after reading a couple of other reviews. I plan to close my credit card because of this stupid product.

Pros:

easy to use, thats it

Cons:

in no ways does this product give you skin that looks like it just used a system called microdermabrasion system, simply does not work.

Being a skincare specialist, i think it is a joke that this product can even have the word microdermabrasion with it. if one is looking for smooth skin, clear skin, small pores, please don't waist good money on this. you get every little cream with it, the tool just vibrates your face like crazy and this can be a problem for many women. one can not vibrate skin into small pores and clear skin. plus i find very interesting that susan herself said that she has never had pro. microdermabrasion treatment. how can she even compare the two?
