Skin Eternal Cream - 4 oz Original Formula

Used this product for years, moisturizing for older skin but not oily. Even my mom who is allergic to everything uses this lotion. Wonderful product from a company I trust.

Update at 53 yrs: included 6 photos... Still no crow's feet. I've recently lost weight and you can see a new crease near my mouth and you can see my frown lines that I've always hated (I have an annoying habit of scowling at the computer, apparently it hurts to think lol). Other than that I don't see much change in my skin from when I started using this cream around 37 yrs... BUT!! Around 8-9 mo ago I got my regular order but the cream had a different consistency and smell... Previously, if I put too much on my eyelids or any residue got in my eyes it burned a bit, so I was always very careful not to get any on my lashes etc. The new cream didn't burn, I know it sounds silly but, short of putting it in my eye, I would let it get on my lashes and wasn't careful, but felt not even a tingle. And it didn't feel as thick. I started worrying that the new formula had less active ingredients or perhaps had been tampered with. So I ordered another, and it was the same. I tried other brands but none made my skin feel like the original formula of skin eternal... So in complete desperation, I ordered off eBay in hopes that maybe somebody had old stock. Luckily, I got my old cream back and bought a few but it's not going to last more than a year and a half... Maybe too many people complained about the smell? Or complaints from those with sensitive skin? I do recall reading that if you had a skin reaction, to start by putting it only 2 or 3 days per week and gradually increase. And initially it would make my skin red for about 15-20 minutes but my skin adjusted and got used to it. I don't know where I read that, maybe it was on the original label? But I certainly don't see it there anymore... Anyway, I'm totally bummed out. At least the serum still appears to be the same consistency and smell... I wish people could reply to these reviews, I'm curious if others have experienced this - but I suppose then it would just turn into Reddit lol... UPDATED: I'm 45 yrs old now & I can honestly say I don't see my skin aging (been using since about 37 yrs old). I have zero crows-feet or any wrinkles for that matter. When I see other women my age or even a few years younger I say a little prayer of thanks to this cream. I don't know if it's placebo, but whenever I run out I swear I can see my skin age right before my eyes, then the cream comes in the mail and within a day or two my skin goes back to its more youthful, healthier state, phew...! I'll never stop using this stuff. People still tell me they thought I was in my 20’s or early 30’s, I can't help but feel that's beyond what most people would state out of mere flattery, and it always seems to be stated with genuine surprise. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I'm 40 years old, anglo, very fair complexion, with mixed dry and oily areas and large pores. I work on a university campus and whenever I remark on my status as a student 20 years ago, students constantly seem shocked as they tell me they thought I was a student right along with them. I constantly get compliments and remarks on my skin and this makes me feel great. I've had several people ask me what I use on my face - crazy thing is I often just rinse my face in the evening with warm water and nothing else, then finish with this cream. It's when I see women the same age as me that I realize how different my skin is from theirs with way less wrinkles around the eyes, etc. For about 15 minutes after application my skin is a bit tingly and splotchy, but it goes away.

Source Naturals Skin Eternal Cream From Health Chest. Arrived quickly and in good shape. I think it is a lovely cream. An odd scent, not bad, just odd, maybe overripe bananas and coconut? The color is dark beige, which is unusual. The cream seems to work at hiding my wrinkles, at least for a while. I also like it for protecting my skin in the wind. It is true that it doesn’t all sink in at once, and I use that occlusive quality to my advantage and add some to my face and the backs of my hands before working in the garden or walking the dog, especially in winter. I use it morning and night, and on windy days when I’m outside. I use a LOT of it - smearing great swathes across my face, and there is no way a 4 oz jar will last a month. So I’ll buy more. I might also buy the serum because I believe in the ingredients. (I just mentally compare Ester Lauder @ $96.00 an ounce and Source Naturals Skin Eternal Cream $30.00 for 4 oz — seems like a bargain.)

I gave a 4 star instead of 5 because I've had the product a short time. But I expect it's worth 5 stars. I did a lot of research and then bought this product. I hate to post after only having it a week but others have commented after years of use and I couldn't wait. I love it. I put it on the backs of my hands and they already look more youthful. I have VERY thin skinv (as I get older) and my veins were beginning to show through (yikes... I'm wearing my mom's hands). My hands already look plumper and younger. Now, my face is reacting as well to the product. My skin feels and looks plumper which means less wrinkles. Very natural and healthy looking already. I'm hoping for more changes as time goes by but I am very please with just the improvement so far. It feels like almost 10 years have vanished in just a few days. Is this even possible? I'm really happy with the product. Love it! Some have complained about the smell. I don't have any problem with it at all. It's kind of a coconut smell. Perfectly fine. Others commented about the texture. It is rich. It's not a watery cream so it doesn't take much to get the job done. My jar will last a long time. The first few times I think I put it on way to much. I'm learning just how much will be absorbed. I think when I have the sweet spot on absorption then it won't feel as heavy on the face. But it isn't bad and I'm more than happy to work with it. I just need a bit lighter hand. Results are what I'm looking for and it's giving me what I wanted. It does leave an after shine but I'll be playing with finishers to add after it's absorbed so that my makeup/or no makeup looks better. Several posts mention eye irritation but I thought I'd be more careful and have no problem. I think that the product sinks so well into your skin (which is a good thing) that it's not that you get it in your eyes but it's absorbed into the eye socket ares and you start to tear. I was supper careful each time and it still happened. So I order the eye cream for this area. It apparently doesn't have the acid component but everything else so it cuts down on the irritation. It will be worth it because I want to use it for both day and night. Perhaps my sunscreen will matte the finish a bit. Anyway, love the product. Arrived as expected. Couldn't be happier.

I have been using this night and day for nine years is a really good moisturizer under your make up and also at night time for bed

I research supplements. This cream works because it contains potent antioxidants. I have used it for many years and can state without hesitation it does work to prevent wrinkles and age spots on your skin. Some of the ingredients inside are also available to take orally and work to reduce aging effects. Use this cream lightly on your skin morning and night. It is a vitamin cream and not a moisturizing cream. Don't use it on sunburned skin as the Vit C content will create irritation on sensitive sun burns and the glycolic acid (from fruit juice) tends to exfoliate and you don't want that on burned skin. To supplement this cream orally, take Ascorbyl Palmitate 500 mg (Vit C in fat soluble form), to prevent further wrinkles, and fade out freckles, age spots and melasma. Also take Alpha-Lipoic Acid, DMAE, Fish Oil, and CoEnzyme Q10 for skin and overall health. After using this cream for a few days you will notice your skin is finer, smaller pores, spots fading out, and a brighter glow. Wrinkles take longer. This cream is not a miracle cure but you will see a definite and visible difference on your skin.

Love that this cream contains vitamin C. It soaks into the skin quickly, and it has a nice scent. Helps keep fine lines at bay.

I was excited about this product to replace the Derma-E with DMAE I had been using prior to them changing their formula, which had caused a reaction. I tested the cream on the inside of my forearm and nothing happened so I figured I was all good. I washed before bed last night and put the cream all over my face and neck. This morning it looks like I have a bad sunburn and my face and neck are very itchy, warm to the touch and uncomfortable. The smell was mild, so for that I give it two stars. If you decide to try it, I suggest you test it on one cheek instead of putting it all over your entire face and neck so you don't end up with a chemical burn. I don't react to the Andelou brand with DMAE so I guess I'll be sticking with that despite the fragrance being stronger.
