For about a millisecond I was impressed with the line Natura Bissé. From Spain-exclusive to stores like Neiman's, Barney's-they are known for two lines, The Diamond line and their Glyco Peeling products.
These are okay if you have the money, but why spend $225 for the Glyco Extreme when you can buy something that works exactly the same by MD Skincare for under $100. They say it has 60% exfoliating ingredients. This sounds very impressive because you think "Wow! That is so strong, like something in a doctor's office". Yeah, no. This is just a gimic because with a pH of 4.5 it doesn't actually do much. Spa can do peels above a 3.3, doctor has to do anything lower. When they say 60% exfoliating ingredients, they mean 60% of the ingredients listed are exfoliating NOT that they have a 60% strength.
It definitely makes your face tingle, which is what most people look for. If you like to feel like it's "working" buy it and waste $225. Or get Appleseed Resurfacing Peel by Fresh for $145 and feel better that you weren't scammed in the morning. Okay, maybe you'll still feel scammed.
Their Diamond line which is 3 different weighted creams, all supposed to do everything you would want a cream to do is another disappointment. Their key ingredient is Artemia Salina which they tout as Marine Extract and don't you know? It's supposed to re-energize the skin to give it a glow. What they don't tell you is that by Marine Extract they actually mean Sea Monkeys. Look it up on Wiki, seriously.
If you want to spread some Sea Monkey's on your face and don't feel like spending $300 buy an EcoSphere, drain it, and break out the pistol and mortar to create a paste of the little buggers. I am of course joking though, but it is the same thing.

Thank you. It gets really confusing with all the skin care lines, and what their supposed to do. You feel like a real fool, when you buy a product for big bucks, and then, find out it doesn't do anything. This type of information is really helpful.
