Question for Green Cream users

[dolphin_gal]

Green cream is supposed to "helps pores appear smaller, evens out skin tone, lightens dark pigmentation" and "repair sundamage and reverse the effects of aging skin". Green cream contains retinol, which aside from treating acne helps in reducing fine lines. All that's great, but....

My skincare goals are: reduce fine and not-so-fine lines, even out skin tone, reduce pore size if possible, replace/refresh sun-damaged skin. firm up the face as much as possible.

I'm already doing microdermabrasion for fine lines and new skin surface and LOVE the results .... have started doing GA peels for new skin surface and to even out skin tone, which I don't feel is all that bad to begin with. And as soon as skinbiology gets caught up on backorders, I'll be starting SCRP's for firming.

I don't have acne , blackheads or whiteheads. Skin is normal (not oily, not dry), not sensitive, and no allergies (that I've yet discovered)

Would green cream add anything beneficial that I'm not already doing? It's expensive, and would be yet another layer to put on - lol - already doing enough. I'd be willing to add it only IF it would do something towards my goals that I'm not already doing.

Thanks for any input!

I will be watching this thread too...I have acne prone skin and after all the green cream hype I decided to give it a whirl but Im about to give up on it. It's been 3 weeks and I've been broke out for the past 2 and it's not really getting better. I can definitely see a difference in the pores but I have been using some other stuff that helps with that too so I don't know that it's the GC. I want to give it a sufficient time to work but Im getting frustrated, especially since I sell some skin care products and it's not very good advertising to have bad skin when you sell....who the heck would buy it when the seller is all broke out??!

I'm 36 and have had acne prone skin for ages, did 3 rounds of accutane. I knew about the purging deal but will it ever end???

It should stop within a few weeks, shouldn't it?

What other stuff are you using for the size of the pores? And is this a small reduction or more?

Thanks for your input, Kim. I sort of got the impression that Green Cream would be mostly beneficial for those who are acne-prone, but since I'm not, then why buy/use it since the other bene's it has I'm getting via another treatment. One less jar in the cabinet and more $ in the pocket for other things.

Since I've been using Pure Deming R-ALA and glycolic acid, there's been a significant change in the appearance...much less noticable.

I use Green Cream for antiaging purpose. I have read that retinols promote collagen production and thicken the dermis over time. I also use home microdermabrasion but will stick with Green Cream at the same time.

 

[dolphin_gal]

Have you experienced any thickening of the dermis, particularly in the undereye area that gets the crepeys?

Kim where do I find out where to purchase and info on SRCP's?
