Alrighty then, the results are in.
The OILY SKIN kit: I tried this one first, since I have combo skin, but the company only offers specified products for "oily" and "dry/mature". Figured it was easier to moisturize than to deal with a breakout. For the first few days, I was highly pleased. The products smell amazing and natural.
Boot Camp Pore Cleansing Gel - smells very minty (or is that eucalyptus?) and leaves skin with a pleasant cooling sensation (which certainly feels clean. Wasn't a greasy or thick product...but was a very bright orange that messed up the sink. Does contain salicylic acid and guar gum (for anyone with an allergy/sensitivity).
Derma Toner (combo/oily skin) - a strange milky substance that separates when not in use. Must be shaken before use. Contains some sort of clay...and I felt like it coated my skin. It did do what it claimed...kept the oil under control. But, I'm afraid it went too far.
Shine Free Oil Control Lotion - by far, my favorite of the products I used. It is light and smells great. The only problem is it didn't moisturize well enough to make up for the dryness left by the other two products.
I tried these products in several combinations. I left out the toner to see if that helped...which it did, I think.
Overall verdict: If you have truly distressed skin...oily without any dryness - these would be an excellent fit. Combination girls...this isn't for us.
I also tried the following products one or two times without success:
Mineral Skin Renewal Mist: What exactly does it do? From what I could tell, it just got my skin wet...it didn't moisturize or clean, so what is the point?
L'Orange Cleanser: Smelled wonderful - similar to the Boot Camp Cleanser - but left my skin feeling greasy and as if I hadn't gotten all of the soap off.
Nutriskin Moisture Complex lotion: Also left my skin feeling greasy.
So, there you have it. While I am impressed with their company and their ingredients. The products just didn't do it for me. I think they would be better suited to a teenager with problem skin or an older woman with very dry, moisture- hungry skin.
