Cons:

Everything

I saw this product on tv and thought, why not. I called and ordered the product and couldn't wait to get it. The first time I used the product, no change, but after the third my skin got really dry and I started to break out really bad. I called customer care to cancel my future orders, but 30 days later was charged for a 3 month supply. I called customer care again and was told that since the product already shipped out that I would have to wait until I got the product (6-8 weeks from shipping) and then send it back to them, and then credits could take another 4-6 weeks. When the product came I refused shipment on it. When I called customer service I was told that since I didn't insure the unopened, refused package that they could not tell if I kept the product or not. I told them that I still had the first shipment that was barely used. I called my credit card company and was told that by law you only have 60 days to dispute the charges so there was nothing they could do.

Pros:

Makes your skin shine.

Cons:

It really broke me out with acne, i never had such a bad acne in my whole life, but now it is so terrible i am afraid to look at my face in mirror. I would never recommend to somebody who has sensitive skin.

Never Use this product, it causes lots of breakout Even though i stopped using it it still has left lot of acne on my face and acne scars are worst

DO NOT BUY!!! I have been trying to return this for 3 months. They have charged my charge card 3 times.. $103.00 each time I have yet to see a dime back. They keep telling me I didnt return it in the 60 day trail period. BULL CRAP I called and the girl said just write return on the box and send it back. I DID (wrong PLEASE get a reciept from the post office that way you have proof that you did it) Anyhow I didn't and now they are saying they didnt get it with in the 60 day time period. But the kicker is they are still sending me this crap. I had to cancel my credit card. If you want to try something like this with out the hassle go to your cvs store and try one, if you dont like it take it back..I have been using MARY KAY it gave me the same result with out the little vibrating tool.

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:

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, 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?
