How old is your step daughter? I was under the impression Kate Sommerville's products were targeted for middle aged women who wanted to repair their aging skin. I love how she has her own peptide, K8! I have read that hemp seed oil (cannabis sativa) is good for acne and eczema. I have some lotion that's mostly hemp and I love it but it's pretty heavy. Hemp seed oil, squaline (good stuff ...

I have tried it, got free samples from Sephora, love sephora for that, haha... It did'nt do what it said but otherwsie it may have been an ok product as it has quite a few actives... but I have access to better products/actives for way less!

The glycolic acid is partially (or totally) buffered by the addition of the sodium hydroxide. Amla is nice (we sell it) but the rest is nothing. Rubbish statements, mediocre formulation.

I suggest you show your dermatologist the ingredient list. I will be happy to answer any questions. Note: For post-radiation, we have a post-radiation cream, very different from restoration.

Thank you and look forward to your advice, Sylvia

Sure, some of the people on the forum wanted to buy a bottle of the Alpha/Beta exfoliation solution rather than the pre-packaged towel. Jonathan was kind enough to offer it as a "forum special."

I am sorry you don't like creams, they can be very useful! Some actives will not dissolve in either oil or water, and a cream like our Canvas or European give you a much better chance. You will have to test the solubility of every active in the solvent you wish to use, be it oils or water (a hydrosol is water with a hint of plant volatile chemicals). If they dissolve, you can then add a hint of ...
