I had used Multivitamin Facial Serum religiously for about 3 weeks while I am on holiday. I am impressed by it’s simplicity, versatility & impact. This light serum can be used on face, eyes & neck. This lustre serum is slippery in texture, does have a very strong pharmaceutical aroma ( reminds me of oral vitamin B complex supplement ) and takes about 5 minutes for complete absorption upon application. So, you may wonder why I am a fan. Well, this serum managed to keep my skin well nourished ( smoothed, hydrated, glowing, blemish free ) despite the sun, wind, pollution & other environmental assaults during my cross continental travel. I find this superb serum adequate enough as a single nocturnal skin nourisher under tropical climate. LPB is thinking of adding this to his desert island must have items list.

Tea face: the ultimate anti-ageing serum - My skin is less than perfect, so I have to be very careful about what I slather all over it for fear of breaking out. At the same time, I’m starting to spawn a few baby wrinkles, so I'm mad keen on protecting my skin from future damage. Coincidentally, I was lucky enough to snaffle a bottle of Sophyto’s Anti-Aging Antioxidant Serum recently - much to my squealing delight - and I wanted to give you guys the milk on this stuff. Having just moved to a new apartment, it’s safe to say that I’m a little stressed. When I’m stressed, it really shows up. Acne, baggy eyes, sallow complexion: gosh I’m pretty when I’m under fire. So I decided to give Sophyto a go. And I’m glad I did. My skin drank this baby up, and because it’s ultra-light it didn’t induce any of the dreaded oil that most anti-ageing products do. It smells a little funky, and sprays out onto your palms like cold tea; but as it’s derived from tea I’ll let that one slip. It also lists nature’s healer Olive Leaf Extract, specially bred apples, and fermented grape as its ingredients is free from parabens and certified organic. In fact Sophyto are backed by the UK’s Soil Association, making it a guilt-free splurge. And how does my skin feel? After two weeks, my complexion appears lit, and I could swear that my lines appear plumped, or perhaps that’s just the result of the weekend’s salt binge. I still have the odd blemish and my eyes look like they could use some duvet time; but no product is a substitute for eight hours sleep and a stress-free life. Either way, considering that my picky pores seem to like this, I’ll continue to use it twice daily under my moisturiser for the recommended minimum time of twelve weeks. Or at least until the bottle runs out...

The Marine Peptide Brightening Serum is really a powerhouse that gently yet very quickly brightened my skin. The key to it's effectiveness is organic lily aloe and emerald green micro-algae which work together to brighten my complexion and encourage skin cell renewal. It works with sensitive skin because it's only mildly acidic, and can also replace your manual exfoliation regimen if you desire. The white serum actually has a texture like that of a very thin gel, that delivered results I would not have expected. After using just 1 week I could see a very noticeable difference is the level of brightness and the tone of my skin. I loved discovering this product and this line. If you're looking for gentle organic way to exfoliate and treat hyperpigmentation this is a wonderful choice.

I began using your skincare products after stumbling upon them. I am a Naturopath by degree and was intrigued and impressed by the ingredients. I used them and was nearly instantly impressed. I have focused on my internal environment, but have never received the clear skin I so desired to have. I never had issues with acne or my skin until about age 30. To compound the issues, I am a distance runner, and spend A LOT of time out in the elements and after series of long runs imbalanced hormones begin challenging my skin. I ordered products recently during your sale and I am SO happy. My order was incorrect and it was remedied VERY quickly and the packing slip included a personalized handwritten apology from "Bob, the warehouse manager". I am going to be a Sophyto customer for LIFE... definitely.
Thanks and keep up the great work, everyone.... from the scientists to the warehouse workers. You are all impressive and amazing!

Dear Sophyto,
I have been using your products since Nov 2010. I have a skin condition called Keratosis Pilaris that causes me to have hard bumps (due to keratin blocks in my pores) on my upper chest, arms, and thighs. Although normally they are un-inflamed bumps and just an annoyance to me, in January I had a strong outbreak that was itchy and red, and I could not get relief from my normal cleansers and lotions. After 3 days of miserable itching, I decided to try the Silken Cleanser on my chest, and found immediate relief! That evening I used it again on my chest and also my upper arms, and also applied the Omega Daily Moisturizer. By morning, the inflammation was completely gone. I kept using the cleanser and moisturizer on my break-out prone areas, and 2 weeks later all the bumps had completely disappeared from my skin! My son suffers from the same condition, and I have started using it on him also, much to his relief! This is a genetic condition I have suffered with my entire life, and although I have always used mild cleansers, lotions, and even dye/perfume free detergent for my clothing, the little bumps have always been present. I never thought or even hoped that my skin would be completely clear, but thanks to your products, I have smooth, clear skin for the first time I can remember! And gratefully, my son will not have to suffer some of the irritations he has inherited from me due to this condition.
Thank you, from the depths of my heart!

I would like to thank you for the gift of Sophyto. I have lived in Europe and have been exposed to the finest skin care lines in the world. Many of the companies such as Dr. Hauschka and Khiels claim to be organic and have some lovely products, however they have not given me the results I was looking for. Other mainstream, fashion oriented lines with the top anti-aging products; like Shiseido, Clarins, Estee Lauder and Cle de Peu have produced good results, but not as rapidly,organically and effectively as Sophyto. It's so refreshing to see a true organic skin line that works for mature skin and that is so reasonably priced. What a miracle! Imagine that someone has finally figured out that the most precious and frequently exposed part of our body deserves organic and healthy care. Thank you for the dedication and sacrifice it takes to be a leader in such a competitive field.
Best wishes,

I'm a huge fan of this brand and first came across it in Australia through a friend. His Dermatologist told him to try it on his sensitive skin and within 2 days he saw a complete turnaround. I use this stuff daily. My mates have made comments about how great my skin looks, so I know these products work for sure. Phil, New York
Great line which I actually introduced my wife to – the coolest part of us sharing the same products are we have a tidy bathroom cabinet and even before we run out my wife has more there waiting. Sam Wilkes, Manchester, UK
After one week of usng Sophyto cosmetics I'd like to report how wonderful I have found them. I am 51 and British-Caribbean. My skin is so sensitive that even wiping slightly hard with cotton wool causes it to swell and blister, and if I get a spot it leaves a lasting dark brown mark like a bruise even if I don't touch it. I have always had dermatitic reactions to numerous chemicals and try to avoid anything I suspect may be a cause. Once, however, even a tried and tested moisturiser landed me in hospital as an emergency case with infected dermatitis which swelled my face to twice its size and required oral cortisones and oral and topical antibiotics. Perhaps it is most frustrating that my skin is intolerant of anything containing an SPF factor, espcially as for three years I have also had rosacea. My GP has attempted to control it fairly successfully with sporadic courses of oxytetracycline and metronidazole cream (I'm intolerant of the gel), but I desperately needed a cleanser and moisturiser for everyday use.
Last week I bought a cleanser, toner, moisturiser and polyphenol drops from you and am absolutely astonished at how well my skin already looks and feels. The skin on my cheeks, especially on and just under my cheekbones, had looked like overstretched cling film - very shiny but awfully dry. I expected it to rustle if I touched it. Now it is fresh, plump and comfortable. My forehead, nose and chin used to glisten with sebum, especially in the heat when it was truly grotesque, but now they look and feel simply well-moisturised - "dewy" as cosmetic adverts say. My friends say my skin now looks like that of a 30 year-old. I don't know about that but certainly it is a very, very long time since it looked and felt so healthy, and I am absolutely delighted. I will tell my GP about Sophyto and continue to use it, praying that I don't develop a sudden intolerance....Fingers crossed, and thank you for your research and development that has, quite literally, saved my skin.

I’ve struggled with skin issues most of my life and have tried products of all types and price ranges. Just a few weeks ago, the skin esthetician in my hair salon suggested the SOPHYTO® products and I have been extremely happy. My skin is by far in the best condition it’s ever been in. Right now, I'm using the Deep Pore Foaming Cleanser, the Multivitamin Skin Drops and the normalizing Day Face Moisturiser. While they may cost more than regularly grocery store brands, they aren’t nearly as expensive as other salon products. I have never heard of the products before so I feel really lucky that this is the brand sold at my salon.

I don't recall ever being in love with a cleanser before, but I absolutely adore this product. I have long desired to use more natural products in my skincare routine, but I generally feel frustrated with the majority of "natural" products on the market. Many have nearly as many synthetic ingredients as standard products with some plant-based ingredients thrown in, usually ingredients that my sensitive skin dislikes. Products that don't fall into that category often come from companies that are so concerned with not using "bad" ingredients that rather than on developing products that are good for skin, they simply fill their products with bland oils (olive, jojoba, safflower, etc.), which my acne-prone skin dislikes. And products in both categories are often chock full of essential oils, which my skin usually can't tolerate. So I was delighted to find SOPHYTO®, which actually uses science to develop products that are beneficial to skin, don't use synthetic ingredients (and most of the ingredients are certified organic), and are free of essential oils and any kind of added fragrance, and most of the products (with the exception of the two moisturizers) are completely oil-free.
This cleanser is the only SOPHYTO® product I've used so far, but I like it so well, that I plan to try other products as I use up all the stuff that I already have. SOPHYTO® recommends that this cleanser not be used to remove makeup since it can irritate eyes, so I use it in the morning. I love that it makes my skin feel fresh and clean without leaving it at all dry or tight yet it never leaves a residue. I've never used a cleanser that leaves my skin so perfectly balanced. I also love the way it gently exfoliates my skin. I use one pump of the product each morning. It comes out foamy but doesn't really lather (in this respect it reminds me of Aveeno Ultra-Calming Foaming Cleanser, but the Aveeno cleanser left a film on my skin). I spread the foam onto my face, neck, and chest, focusing most of the cleanser onto my face. Then I massage the product into my facial skin for 1-2 minutes (I'm usually too hurried to mess much with my neck and chest), and if I have any skin that needs to be exfoliated, this cleanser gently loosens it, and I can feel it moving around under my fingertips. It's the perfect way to prep my skin for the day, and it's one of my favorite skincare products. I've stopped using all other acne products (BHA, benzoyl peroxide, retinoids), and although I get the occasional pimple, my skin is clearer than it's been since before I hit puberty. This cleanser is rather pricey, but using one pump once a day, I can get nearly six months of use out of one bottle. My only complaint is that although the product is supposed to have "a delicate aroma of apples," I think it smells mildly like urine. However, it's not a strong odor, it doesn't linger, and I hardly notice it anymore.

I have been using SOPHYTO® products since November and my skin is probably the best it has been in years - my acne is much less severe than it was and I am completely a devoted SOPHYTO® user now!

I have had a small patch of eczema on my face for a few months (so dry here in MN) and NOTHING has cleared it up including prescriptions. I started using the Skin Energizing High Potency Concentrate and it was gone within days! Fabulous product!
Thanks again!

It has been approximately 3 months since I have been using SOPHYTO® products and the changes in my skin have been indescribable. Prior to using these products, my skin was showing signs of old age, i.e. loss of elasticity, lines in forehead, chin, lips, neck, etc. To tell you the honest truth, it depressed me to see my skin losing its youth and beauty. Since using these magnificent products, I, along with all of my friends, who see me frequently, have seen a remarkable change in my skin. My skin is more radiant, more supple, small lines have disappeared and, last but not least, it is definitely more youthful. Believe it or not, this has changed the way I feel about myself. It is worthy to note that these products have to be used properly in order to see the desired change that I have described.
Miriam, age 65, Danville Calif
I have been using the line for about 1 1/2 weeks now and two people have said my skin looks great. Haven't heard that in a while! I'm happy!
Thank you for your great customer service!

Thanks for sending your new mag. It's very strong! I love the images. I'm still using the Multivitamin serum you sent a while back - it's fantastic as an eye cream. We may feature Sophyto next year in our 'Wisdom' issue.
Very best Jenny www.sublimemagazine.com
My positive experience definitely makes me want to include SOPHYTO® in our product line as we launch our health and skin endeavor. Again, thank you so much for your help. SOPHYTO® can be proud of its company representatives.

After purchasing a SOPHYTO® sample kit for my personal use, I must say that I was very impressed and would like to carry Sophyto products here at One Sun. Here is a little information about our company: the premise of One Sun is that "we are all under one sun" and should all have access to the foods and products that will assist us in creating and maintaining healthy lifestyles. Many people are locked out of this because pricing is inhibitive, the education is not present, or the products are difficult to source. One Sun is fully funded and will be launching in July 2008. We will be offering only organic, natural, raw, vegetarian and vegan goods to the public at lower prices within a community and education-based web presence. Bringing products like SOPHYTO® to more people who are looking for real, quality solutions for skincare would be a pleasure. I look forward to speaking with you soon!
Best regards, Stephanie Esbin
I just want you to know that I am LOVING many of your products and am excited that after spending years and countless dollars searching for a skin care line that is compatible with my skin, SOPHYTO® is helping my skin to look clear and healthy with noticeable results immediately! THANK YOU!
Christina
Thank you again for the call. I have placed my order with beautyexpert, and paid for next day delivery. I may be able to start discovering the wonders of your products tomorrow. QVC UK are by far the best for price on products, and post. However they only carry four items in the range. The tips you gave me sound grand! I am off to the supermarket now for the yogurt.....look out for London's answer to Brad Pitt by tomorrow evening! Cheers. Just quickly to let you know the package arrived this morning! I've used it -- I love it --I will buy more, and I'll spread the word.
All the best, Keith
Questions / Comments: I LOVE your products and LOVE what you stand for. I am curious if you ever accept applications--for any position! I currently work as a medical esthetician and medical assistant at a dermatologist's office. While I believe in what prescriptions can do for our patients, I struggle with slathering chemicals on our bodies.
Most sincerely,
Laura Zimmerman
Good Morning, I can not thank you enough for these products.....they are everything you said they would be and more. My skin has never looked better and the eczema on my eyelids is gone, which never happens except with cortisone creams and oral steroids. These delicious products are the miracle that I have been waiting for. Thank you again for your care and for beautiful gems....they make caring for your skin a pleasure. I would be so pleased if you used my comments and experience on the website. People should really know how exquisite these products truly are. They make coming home and caring for your skin a wonderful and sensual experience. I will never be without them.
Best wishes and the best of luck to you both, Sara
Dear Ishtar and Karen,
Please forgive me for writing again....but I am still amazed and so thrilled by my skin. I use SOPHYTO® exclusively and the Lavera sunscreen (that you recommended) and my skin is luminous. My very allergic and sensitive skin is not showing any signs of irritation or redness. My poor skin is blasted with so many irritants at work: I am a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner and work under heat lamps, high humidity, dry heat, UV light and long hours. My skin previously was riddled in eczema, dry patches, bleeding lacerations on my hands (from washing) and my eyelids (from rubbing my eyes with hands that were just covered in hand wash). How painful was to have eyelids that were so raw that I could barely open them.....and my hands...how humiliated I was to even show them....I was at the end of hope. Until now. I use the serums and the Mega moisturizer on hands after taking care of my face....I could sleep without pain within two days and within a week the fissures were gone, and within 12 days the dry patches and redness was gone. The skin on and around my eyes took 9 days to heal and continues to become healthy. I want to thank you again Karen for the wondrous and beautiful products that truly are miracles for me. I, for the first time, love to wash my face (prior to your products, it was a painful experience.....in every sense of the word) and SHOW my skin. Because it is a gift to have beautiful skin....and the lives that I touch, should be touched by softness and warmth, not roughness, not hardness. You have given me back myself, it shows in my work and in my life.
Bless you for these treasures. Sara
I'm a make-up artist in Toronto, Canada (please find my agency web link at the bottom) and have recently purchased some of your line and I absolutely love it! It is some of the best skincare that I have ever used! I picked up the Deep Foaming Cleanser, The Tone and Balance Super Bioactive, and the Normalizing Moisturizer and have been using them for a little over a week, but I have already seen a difference in the tone and texture of my skin. What I put on my face (and my clients faces as well) is very important to me and I want to only support brands that are environmentally friendly and are not full of the harsh chemicals that most major brands contain (these are also the companies that send me tons of free product to use, but I would like to move away from that). So what I am wondering is if you send out products for artists to use on clients as another way of advertising? In my job I work with a wide variety of women every day such as models, actresses, musicians, art directors, producers, photographers, you get the idea, and all of these women rely on my knowledge to make recommendations as to what they should be using for skincare, their hair and make-up products and application. I would like to start introducing products such as yours into my skincare kit to use on my clients, family and friends as I truly believe that they are superior to what is out there in the mass market. It is amazing how much power I have in my line of work to influence and educate other women (and men) on what they should and could be using on their face and body and how they can also make a positive impact on the planet by switching to brands such as yours. I really hope to hear back from someone at your company and I hope also that you can help me out with my plan. Thanks so much for your time! www.judyinc.com/sheristroh (this will take you to my web page with my agency judyinc. and it also lists my clientele as well)
Best, Sheri Stroh
Hi, many thanks for all your advice and help, I have purchased the cleanser and am waiting for it to arrive but just had to e-mail to say thank you so much. I am so excited about the range, it is what I have been looking for for a long time. Now after using so many different products that claimed to be natural and organic and spending a fortune to realise that after looking at the ingredients they are full of chemicals! I have filled out the skin prescription and have got my shopping list of products I want everything! I also spoke to Karen, she was so helpful and gave me so much advice. I wish you much luck with the products in this country but I don't think you will need it as your honesty and great service will sell them alone. Thanks again and can't wait to use the products.
Tracy
P.S can’t wait for the new sunscreen serum, what a fantastic idea; the one thing I hate about putting on my sunscreen is the thick cream that makes you look like a snowman!

This cleanser is the only SOPHYTO® product I've used so far, but I like it so well, that I plan to try other products as I use up all the stuff that I already have. SOPHYTO® recommends that this cleanser not be used to remove makeup since it can irritate eyes, so I use it in the morning. I love that it makes my skin feel fresh and clean without leaving it at all dry or tight yet it never leaves a residue. I've never used a cleanser that leaves my skin so perfectly balanced. I also love the way it gently exfoliates my skin. I use one pump of the product each morning. It comes out foamy but doesn't really lather (in this respect it reminds me of Aveeno Ultra-Calming Foaming Cleanser, but the Aveeno cleanser left a film on my skin). I spread the foam onto my face, neck, and chest, focusing most of the cleanser onto my face. Then I massage the product into my facial skin for 1-2 minutes (I'm usually too hurried to mess much with my neck and chest), and if I have any skin that needs to be exfoliated, this cleanser gently loosens it, and I can feel it moving around under my fingertips. It's the perfect way to prep my skin for the day, and it's one of my favorite skincare products. I've stopped using all other acne products (BHA, benzoyl peroxide, retinoids), and although I get the occasional pimple, my skin is clearer than it's been since before I hit puberty. This cleanser is rather pricey, but using one pump once a day, I can get nearly six months of use out of one bottle. My only complaint is that although the product is supposed to have "a delicate aroma of apples," I think it smells mildly like urine. However, it's not a strong odor, it doesn't linger, and I hardly notice it anymore.

I have been using SOPHYTO® products since November and my skin is probably the best it has been in years - my acne is much less severe than it was and I am completely a devoted SOPHYTO® user now!

I have had a small patch of eczema on my face for a few months (so dry here in MN) and NOTHING has cleared it up including prescriptions. I started using the Skin Energizing High Potency Concentrate and it was gone within days! Fabulous product!
Thanks again!

  As the founder of a beauty boutique and magazine, I am constantly trying out the latest and greatest products on the market. Journalists are always assessing my skin to see if I look like I know what I am talking about, so my complexion is my calling card. Since I trialed the SOPHYTO® range, the Polyphenol Drops, Deep Pore Foaming Cleanser and Normalising Day Cream have literally transformed my skin. SOPHYTO® has banished redness, spots and tightness from my face. If I could afford it, I would bathe in this stuff. In fact, we actually referred to the Polyphenol Drops and Multivitamin Serum as “monodoses of skin heaven” our official write up.Jessica Moore, Founder and Managing Director of Cult Beauty http://www.cultbeauty.co.uk |
 I started using SOPHYTO® when it was recommended by a friend in the beauty industry. After being a model for 12 years, and still working in the fashion industry, I am hyper aware of the condition of my skin. Over the past 5 years I had a problem with pigmentation that I just couldn't sort out no matter what miracle creams I invested in. After speaking with my friend I tried Sophyto and it has been a revelation. My skin is so much better, the pigment is still there but by no means as severe and it seems to be improving all the time. On top of that my skin feels plump and fresh, just like after a facial. Even my boyfriend noticed it was looking better so it must be working! All in all it's been brilliant, just hope it will work miracles on keeping my wrinkles at bay now I'm hitting 32! It's also nice to know I'm using an organic product and not covering my face in some toxic chemical which is then going straight into my bloodstream! I cannot recommend this product highly enough.Hannah Jowitt, Models 1, London |
 SOPHYTO® skincare is my secret to low maintenance skin. I use the Polyphenol Drops and then the Multivitamin Serum.Olivia Inge, runway model, Ford Models Agency NY & Europe |
 It was the day when one of the Cult Beauty-ettes introduced me to SOPHYTO® that really changed my life. No joke. As soon as I tried the Deep Pore Foaming Cleanser, Tone & Balance Super Bioactive, Polyphenol Drops, Multivitamin Serum and Mega Omegas Cream I knew there was no going back. In a matter of days the nasty spotty redness cleared up and my skin tone evened out. I was literally glowing, which had never ever happened to me. Neither had the compliments I attracted. (Despite protestations to the contrary, clearly they had all noticed the terrible skin before and been too polite to mention it.) And, I know it was the SOPHYTO® improving my skin because I ran out last week and my skin has since taking a turn for the worse again. The stuff is magic. And if that’s not good PR for them, I don’t know what is.All in all, I have definitely changed my beauty habits. I’m not 100% Organic girl but definitely that way inclined and feel much better for it. I really can’t say enough good things about SOPHYTO®, seriously. And if my testimonial isn’t enough for you, I’ve heard Elle McPherson likes it too. Jessica Gearhart, Creative Director of Cult Beauty.

It has been approximately 3 months since I have been using SOPHYTO® products and the changes in my skin have been indescribable. Prior to using these products, my skin was showing signs of old age, i.e. loss of elasticity, lines in forehead, chin, lips, neck, etc. To tell you the honest truth, it depressed me to see my skin losing its youth and beauty. Since using these magnificent products, I, along with all of my friends, who see me frequently, have seen a remarkable change in my skin. My skin is more radiant, more supple, small lines have disappeared and, last but not least, it is definitely more youthful. Believe it or not, this has changed the way I feel about myself. It is worthy to note that these products have to be used properly in order to see the desired change that I have described.

I have been using the line for about 1 1/2 weeks now and two people have said my skin looks great. Haven't heard that in a while! I'm happy!
Thank you for your great customer service!

Thanks for sending your new mag. It's very strong! I love the images. I'm still using the Multivitamin serum you sent a while back - it's fantastic as an eye cream. We may feature Sophyto next year in our 'Wisdom' issue.
Very best Jenny www.sublimemagazine.com
My positive experience definitely makes me want to include SOPHYTO® in our product line as we launch our health and skin endeavor. Again, thank you so much for your help. SOPHYTO® can be proud of its company representatives.

After purchasing a SOPHYTO® sample kit for my personal use, I must say that I was very impressed and would like to carry Sophyto products here at One Sun. Here is a little information about our company: the premise of One Sun is that "we are all under one sun" and should all have access to the foods and products that will assist us in creating and maintaining healthy lifestyles. Many people are locked out of this because pricing is inhibitive, the education is not present, or the products are difficult to source. One Sun is fully funded and will be launching in July 2008. We will be offering only organic, natural, raw, vegetarian and vegan goods to the public at lower prices within a community and education-based web presence. Bringing products like SOPHYTO® to more people who are looking for real, quality solutions for skincare would be a pleasure. I look forward to speaking with you soon!
Best regards, Stephanie Esbin
I just want you to know that I am LOVING many of your products and am excited that after spending years and countless dollars searching for a skin care line that is compatible with my skin, SOPHYTO® is helping my skin to look clear and healthy with noticeable results immediately! THANK YOU!

Thank you again for the call. I have placed my order with beautyexpert, and paid for next day delivery. I may be able to start discovering the wonders of your products tomorrow. QVC UK are by far the best for price on products, and post. However they only carry four items in the range. The tips you gave me sound grand! I am off to the supermarket now for the yogurt.....look out for London's answer to Brad Pitt by tomorrow evening! Cheers. Just quickly to let you know the package arrived this morning! I've used it -- I love it --I will buy more, and I'll spread the word.
All the best, Keith
Questions / Comments: I LOVE your products and LOVE what you stand for. I am curious if you ever accept applications--for any position! I currently work as a medical esthetician and medical assistant at a dermatologist's office. While I believe in what prescriptions can do for our patients, I struggle with slathering chemicals on our bodies.
Most sincerely,
Laura Zimmerman
Good Morning, I can not thank you enough for these products.....they are everything you said they would be and more. My skin has never looked better and the eczema on my eyelids is gone, which never happens except with cortisone creams and oral steroids. These delicious products are the miracle that I have been waiting for. Thank you again for your care and for beautiful gems....they make caring for your skin a pleasure. I would be so pleased if you used my comments and experience on the website. People should really know how exquisite these products truly are. They make coming home and caring for your skin a wonderful and sensual experience. I will never be without them.
Best wishes and the best of luck to you both, Sara
Dear Ishtar and Karen,
Please forgive me for writing again....but I am still amazed and so thrilled by my skin. I use SOPHYTO® exclusively and the Lavera sunscreen (that you recommended) and my skin is luminous. My very allergic and sensitive skin is not showing any signs of irritation or redness. My poor skin is blasted with so many irritants at work: I am a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner and work under heat lamps, high humidity, dry heat, UV light and long hours. My skin previously was riddled in eczema, dry patches, bleeding lacerations on my hands (from washing) and my eyelids (from rubbing my eyes with hands that were just covered in hand wash). How painful was to have eyelids that were so raw that I could barely open them.....and my hands...how humiliated I was to even show them....I was at the end of hope. Until now. I use the serums and the Mega moisturizer on hands after taking care of my face....I could sleep without pain within two days and within a week the fissures were gone, and within 12 days the dry patches and redness was gone. The skin on and around my eyes took 9 days to heal and continues to become healthy. I want to thank you again Karen for the wondrous and beautiful products that truly are miracles for me. I, for the first time, love to wash my face (prior to your products, it was a painful experience.....in every sense of the word) and SHOW my skin. Because it is a gift to have beautiful skin....and the lives that I touch, should be touched by softness and warmth, not roughness, not hardness. You have given me back myself, it shows in my work and in my life.
Bless you for these treasures. Sara
I'm a make-up artist in Toronto, Canada (please find my agency web link at the bottom) and have recently purchased some of your line and I absolutely love it! It is some of the best skincare that I have ever used! I picked up the Deep Foaming Cleanser, The Tone and Balance Super Bioactive, and the Normalizing Moisturizer and have been using them for a little over a week, but I have already seen a difference in the tone and texture of my skin. What I put on my face (and my clients faces as well) is very important to me and I want to only support brands that are environmentally friendly and are not full of the harsh chemicals that most major brands contain (these are also the companies that send me tons of free product to use, but I would like to move away from that). So what I am wondering is if you send out products for artists to use on clients as another way of advertising? In my job I work with a wide variety of women every day such as models, actresses, musicians, art directors, producers, photographers, you get the idea, and all of these women rely on my knowledge to make recommendations as to what they should be using for skincare, their hair and make-up products and application. I would like to start introducing products such as yours into my skincare kit to use on my clients, family and friends as I truly believe that they are superior to what is out there in the mass market. It is amazing how much power I have in my line of work to influence and educate other women (and men) on what they should and could be using on their face and body and how they can also make a positive impact on the planet by switching to brands such as yours. I really hope to hear back from someone at your company and I hope also that you can help me out with my plan. Thanks so much for your time! www.judyinc.com/sheristroh (this will take you to my web page with my agency judyinc. and it also lists my clientele as well)
Best, Sheri Stroh
Hi, many thanks for all your advice and help, I have purchased the cleanser and am waiting for it to arrive but just had to e-mail to say thank you so much. I am so excited about the range, it is what I have been looking for for a long time. Now after using so many different products that claimed to be natural and organic and spending a fortune to realise that after looking at the ingredients they are full of chemicals! I have filled out the skin prescription and have got my shopping list of products I want everything! I also spoke to Karen, she was so helpful and gave me so much advice. I wish you much luck with the products in this country but I don't think you will need it as your honesty and great service will sell them alone. Thanks again and can't wait to use the products.
Tracy
P.S can’t wait for the new sunscreen serum, what a fantastic idea; the one thing I hate about putting on my sunscreen is the thick cream that makes you look like a snowman!
