Skin Care Review: Cellex-C Betaplex Line Smoother

Rating
No effect

Benefits
Initially effective in removing dead skin.

Drawbacks
Long-term breakouts and decreased effectiveness.

Details
I received a number of free line smoother samples about three weeks ago and, initially, was thrilled with the results. The line smoother did a great job of taking off that dull layer of skin on my face. The problem that I had is that, with sustained use, the results don't seem to hold. I've used it three times a week for three weeks and it seems that my skin is back to square one in terms of appearance of fine lines and bumpy little bits high on my cheekbones (they're not whiteheads or blackheads, but raised bumps). I understand from others that you usually have to give a product two weeks to exfolliate and allow all the built-up impurities to be released. That's been done, but I'm very disappointed not to have noticed any improvement on the whole. I just crossed into my 30's and I'm more interested in maintenance than reversing the signs of aging. Despite having given this product a fair shot, I can still say with complete confidence that the only part of my face that doesn't seem to be aging is my chin.

Conclusions
Definitely not worth the investment.
