Dr Lewinns Reversaderm Complete System Review

I was so excited and felt incredibly lucky to be a part of this trial. I love skincare products, I have dry skin that is aging fast and wasn’t looked after properly in my teens. So this had my eyes wide like saucers when I read it was going to take away the top layer of my skin to reveal fresh, healthy new skin beneath.

Step 1- Glycolic Clarifying Cleanser, this cream cleanser is the perfect consistency not too runny and not too thick. 2 pumps and I’m good to go, it’s easy to massage around my face and being a cream cleanser there is no foam or bubbles. I massage this around for a few seconds then let it sit for 1 minute and rinse off. I normally let it sit longer at night when time is more on my side. The cleanser has a faint citrusy scent that only lasts a few seconds then it disappears, I didn’t notice any reactions only a slight tingle the first 2 days I used it. It was good though I felt like it was working! When I was wearing makeup I removed my makeup before using this cleanser. I was very pleasantly surprised at how non-drying this cleanser is, it’s very mild and doesn’t strip your skin and doesn’t dry it out, my skin always felt and looked fresh and clean.

Step 2- Resurface micro cellular age correcting peel, this comes in a pump top bottle the same as the cleanser but slightly smaller. The clear peel has a slight runny consistency and has the same citrus scent as the cleanser, it’s easy to dispense the serum out, 3 pumps leaves a good layer over my face. This peel is used every second day and is left on your face for 20 minutes before gently washing clean. I do notice a bit of a reaction to this peel, it’s almost like a slight burning, slight stinging sensation but after 5 minutes it disappears. Afterwards my skin feels so soft

Step 3- Revive tri-collagen accelerating Serum, this serum comes in a bottle with a dropper, (I love the fact there is no wastage with a dropper) 1.5 droppers is enough to cover my face. The serum is a pearlescent colour with an almost herbal scent, but it is so faint and barely noticeable. It does take a while to absorb into my skin but once it does fully absorb there is no residue just very soft skin- like can’t stop touching my face soft!

Step 4- Restore Antioxidant Regenerate Cream, there are so many reasons I love this cream! Firstly the packaging, I have never had a moisturiser in this style packaging before and it’s awesome. Under the clear lid is like a round pad that you very carefully push down and the moisturiser comes out and you just swipe it off its genius! The scent of the moisturiser is floral and gorgeous the consistency is medium not too thick or thin. It absorbs easier than the serum and I also love how this is to be used both morning and night instead of having a day and a night cream.

I was very excited when I got selected for the Reversaderm Trial, Cleansers, Peels, Serums...the whole world turned on its axis! So to set the scene, i'm 48, I do have facials (although not as regularly as I probably should but I enjoy how my skin feels when I do). My skin is not sensitive at all really and I can pretty much use anything on it. I'm not generally loyal to any product or brand although an anti ageing moisturiser is MUST for me, and I alternate between high end and budget brands...so let's see how this lot stacks up. After all over $300 is a lot ..unless it's worth it..so let's find out.

So there are 5 products in this system and you need to use them 2 weeks on and two week off for 6 weeks. The instructions were pretty clear - you need to use the cleanser, serum and moisturiser every day alternating the Peel and the Masque every 2nd or 3rd day. Upon opening the products just a comment that all the packaging looks gorgeous all white, glossy and super high end.

We've been asked to talk about each product individually so here we go.

The Cleanser

One of my favourite products out of the 5 and one I will be repurchasing for sure. It comes in a pump bottle, has a light lotion consistency and smells fantastic. I use about 3 pumps but, (uh oh) i'm pretty sure you're only supposed to use one or two. That said has lasted me throughout the 6 weeks of the trial and beyond. I use my cleansers in the shower and no problems with this one here. After using this my skin feels clean and moisturised and not at all tight which is a great sign for a cleanser. I also LOVE the experience of using it, which is really important to me. I love my showers and every product I use within the glass dome needs to enhance that experience.

The Micro-Cellular Age Correcting Peel So this is my FAVOURITE product from the assortment (although it's fair to say we didn't start out as friends)! It comes in a smaller but identical bottle to the cleanser and contains 15% GLM Alpha Hydroxy Acid complex. You smooth it on every 2nd day after your cleanser. You're supposed to leave it on for 25 minutes, then rinse off. Well the first time I used it I nearly hit the roof..my skin felt so stingy I wondered it I could last the distance (to be fair they do warn you about this!) But last it I did and when I washed it off...... Boom-cha-wa-wa!! My skin just felt AMAZING, resurfaced, smooth and fabulous...just ready for the next step which is the..

I was very excited when I got chosen for this trial. And was keen to find out if it really worked. There were 5 different products

Cleanser - it has a nice smell, easy to put on and spread, and you only need 2 pumps to do your whole face and jaw/neck. I didn't have any tingling but apparently some people do. Use it morning and night, it does a great job of removing all traces of make up and grime

Serum - this was in a smaller bottle and had a small dropper attached to the lid, didn't have much smell. I used about 3-4 drops to cover my face and jaw/neck. The only thing that I don't like about it was that it was smaller than everything else so it would be the first to run out and the dropper isn't long enough to reach to the bottom of the bottle.

Cream - it was lovely and smoothing, it was easy to spread over your face. It had a lovely smell and a different kind of lid that you push down and the cream comes out the middle. I really love the cream!

Peel - I used the peel every second day. It was very easy to put on and you only need to put it on for 20-30 mins. You put this on after the cleanser. After washing it off with warm water, your skin feels like it has had something good done to it.

Mask - the mask was a light purple colour, easy to spread and didn't have that tight feeling that some masks give you

All in all I loved the whole regime. My skin hasn't felt this soft for a long time. I didn't notice any reduction in lines, but I have always had high colour in my cheeks since childhood and I have noticed that half of one cheek is fading and I can only put it down to this! It is on the expensive side, but I was over in Sydney at Christmas and Priceline had it for 40% discount, so do some searching on line and see if you can get it cheaper anywhere else that may be cheaper than where you get it in NZ

I'm a beauty therapist, so I went into this thinking...no, never.

I was wrong! I was really impressed with the ingredients and potency of the actives - very comparable with salon products.

My skin feels baby soft. I have trouble with skin breakouts at times of stress and this really helped tackle annoying blemishes and pimples. The cleanser did sting a little and still does occasionally especially if i have a breakout happening . I just diluted the cleanser with water to stop further stinging. I was pleasently surprised the cleanser removed all of my make up which was great! I was a massive fan of the serum it has quite a thick texture and my skin loved this. Defitinitley a must have product for thise who suffer from a dry skin type.

The mask i used a minimum of twice per week and boy oh boy did this sink into my skin. My skin ate it all up within minutes of application it was a great product to use straight after the peel has been used to calm the skin down.

The peel has to be the super star product of the bunch. This was just amazing . I used this every other evening and it really did help improve my skin texture it did sting and tingle on areas of congestion but was great as i could feel it doing something. The next day you could see it had brought black heads to the surface and made existing blackheads on my nose shrink. Really great product and fast results!

The moisturiser i loved as it was so easy to use with its cute little pot and pushing down on the lid to dispense the product. The creams very rich and wouldnt be for everyone but my skin really did reap all the benefits. After use my skin felt plump supple and hydrated.

5 kiss lips for reversaderm!

Ok. Let's start by saying - it really works. I didn't think it would, but before sitting down to write this review I studied my 'before' pics and my face in the mirror. The difference is startling.

The system as a whole is beautifully packaged - clean, sleek, minimal. The fancy cream dispenser is out of this world - no more grubby fingers in your day cream. The serum dropper bottle I find less practical, but it does give it that air of the salon. Personally I'd have just popped everything in pumps, but that's just me!

Every day for two weeks you use: Glycolic Clarifying Cleanser, Tri Collagen Accelerating Serum and Antioxidant Regenerative Cream. These three products were incredible every day products - I've never experienced daily skin care as delightful and effective. I don't want to stop using the Glycolic Clarifying Cleanser - one teeny pump was enough for my whole face, and my face felt incredibly clean and smooth after use. It smells fruity, it tastes salty and it really blows any other cleanser out of the water. Going back to my perfectly fine-before-I-tried-this cleanser is like a punishment.

The Serum is more like a lotion in consistency, it's instantly rejuvenating and leave you feeling like you've had a salon facial - you glow! It absorbs quickly.

The cream is an hydrating fix. Just like the serum it absorbs quickly, and one 'press down' is enough for your face. Winning.

Now on to the exciting stuff. The Micro Cellular Age Correcting Peel is simply one of the best skincare products I've ever used. It's kind of like a runny clear syrup - massage it all over your face, leave for 20-30 minutes and wash off. It's quite an unassuming for all of the power that it holds. I felt a light tingling during the first use, this is intermittent with future uses. The results can be felt and seen as soon as you rinse it off. More even skin tone. More even skin texture. Less imperfections.

And on to my favourite product of the set - the Enzymatic Detoxifying Mask. OH MY WORD. It's cooling, it's refreshing, it clears the skin, it soothes, it softens. It's just a gorgeous product. At the beginning of the treatment my skin just ate the mask up, but as my skin has improved over the last 6 weeks, the mask seems to sit on my skin for longer.

The results are incredible. I look better. I look younger. My skin is smoother, more even, less aged. This system really does reveal fresh new skin - something I've only experienced before in the salon.

I can't even mark this down for the price - is it expensive? Yeah. But it's much cheaper than a set of salon treatments. You can also control where the product goes, so there's minimal 'wastage' - for example, my massive forehead is probably the best bit of skin on my head, so I focus the mask/peel on the rest of my face and just do a light speckling there.

I was beyond excited to be selected for this trial. My skin care was not up to par and I had never tried a more high end/ luxury skin care product before.

The complete system comes with 5 steps/ products and simple instructions.

Step 1: Glycolic Clarifying Cleanser 100ml. This is a pump bottle with a lid. 1-2 pumps of the product is all you need. Its a fresh, light almost citrus scent with the consistency being a creamy white lotion. This product is easy to use I simply dampened my face with water, applied 1-2 pumps of the product and worked it in with circular motions with my hands, left it on for a couple minutes then rinsed it off with warm water. It leaves your skin feeling clean, fresh and new. The first few applications left my face feeling quite hot, tight and tingling but this wore off after a couple days.

Step 2: Micro-Cellular Age Correcting Peel 50ml. I had only ever tried one peel previously so I didn't really know what to expect but I loved it. I used about 1-2 pumps every second day, simply rubbed it into my face and left it on for 30 minutes as advised then rinsed it off. It feels great and leaves my skin feeling super soft and smooth.

Step 3: Tri-Collagen Accelerating Serum 30ml. The serum comes in a small bottle that has a dropper for the dispenser instead of a pump. I prefer the pump as it's easier to use but this was fine and mess free. Only needed 1 dropper to cover my face with a thin layer. I was worried the serum might leave my face looking oily but it didn't do this. It absorbed well and left my face feeling refreshed.

Step 4: Antioxident Regenerative Cream 50ml. This is your daily moisturizer. Comes in a tub with an unique dispenser.You press down on the lid and the product come out of the top.This is great because it reduces dirt and bacteria getting into the product then onto your face like some cream products that require you to dip your finger into it. The cream absorbs well, can be used morning and night and has a nice scent and a medium consistency.

Step 5: Enzymatic Detoxifying Mask 70ml. The mask comes in a tube so you just squeeze the product out. The mask is a pale purple colour and has a similar scent as the cleanser and peel but is lighter fragrance. After I apply it to my face I leave it on for about 15-20 minutes then rinse it off. I did notice a slight tingling sensation however it was fine. My face always feels amazing after I wash it off and looks healthier.

Overall my skin feels fresh, clean and new/ restored after trying this skin care system. I was pleasantly surprised. My skin hasn't felt this soft in a long time, my t-zone gets less oily and my face as a whole looks refreshed. It's nothing drastic but it did more than just clean my face. I wouldn't repurchase as it's too far out of my price range but it's but a great experience and I will continue using the products until they run out. I would recommend this system to anyone with aging skin who would like to treat themselves.

I was so excited to be selected for this trial as my wedding day is very quickly approaching and I was very keen to try anything to make my skin as bright and radiant as possible! I don't usually use a lot of products on my skin so I was worried about commiting to a complicated & timely routine, but this system is quick & easy to use. I'm over the moon with my results - My skin tone is more even now, my pigmentation is clearing, my acne scaring has all but gone & my partner comments at how much softer my skin is. I am so excited to be able to put a much more radiant face forward on my wedding day. Cleanser: Large, easy to use pump bottle. A pleasant smelling light lotion-y consistency, I would use a couple of pumps each time to get a generous coverage. Initially my skin really tingled a lot when using this product. I'm not big on cleansers but I really like this product, initially I thought it was expensive for what it was, but after trialling, the bottle goes a long way & the results speak for themselves. Age Correcting Peel: A smaller pump bottle, This time a clear liquid which you use every second day, after cleansing. The first time, I used a heap of this product trying to get a good layer on my skin thinking it was like a traditional dry on your skin & peel off dealy, but nope, next time, just a few pumps like the cleanser, its very light and just dries on your skin and then wash off after 20 mins. Initially it was tingly to the point of almost stingy, but I persisted and the tingling stopped pretty quickly. I liked this peel a lot, although, if I continue using the system I will use this once or twice a week instead of every second day. Serum: Came in a small jar with a dropper, I found the dropper hard to use, it was a bit hit or miss how much you picked up & as the jar got low on serum it got harder to get the product out with the short dropper. The serum is a light milky liquid, which I would only need a small drop of to cover my entire face & neck. Regenerative Cream: Comes in a fancy jar, the lid presses down and dispenses the cream from a small circle in the middle of the lid. I found I had to press very lightly or the cream would splatter everywhere. I would use 1 to 2 pumps every time I used it, I found the cream very light, but when used with the serum offers a whole ton of moisture! Mask: This was a once a week mask, it comes in a tube, the mask inside was a purple colour. I was looking forward to this mask every week, my skin felt so fresh and clean after I used it. the mask just sat on my skin & then after the 20 mins I washed it off. This product range is out of my budget at $370 for the complete system but It is a luxury product range & the beautiful packaging & lotions inside are worth the price. After trialling, I would recommend to anyone who had a special event such as a wedding or even just as a treat. I will be continuing on with my system for my big day in a few months time.

From day one i was super excited to open and try this kit. I received - Reversaderm Clarifying Cleanser with Gycolic Acid, Microcellular Age correcting peel, Tri-Collagen accelerating serum, Antioxidant Regenerative Cream and Enzymatic Detoxifying Mask. We also received a detailed sheet with what we should use each day and recommending a two week break between cycles. I love the packaging its very classy and easy to identify each item. Day one begins with the cleanser, it has a creamy texture and a couple of pumps and a rub on your wet face and this citrus scent comes out it smells really nice especially first thing in the morning. I get a little bit of tingles but nothing uncomfortable. My face feels clean but not tight and dry. Next i apply the serum to my face which is a little bit harder to get out of the bottle, it has a dropper which i can't seem to work so i use the dropper to put a few blobs on my hand and then i rub it into my face. It doesn't seem to have a scent and soaks into my skin instantly, it feels a bit tight but again not uncomfortable. Then i apply the moisturiser which comes in a round container that you have to evenly push down and the cream comes up which i find good, as it means you don't use too much as its just the right amount. The moisturiser is lovely it soaks straight in as well and doesn't seem to have a scent.

Every second night i use the Peel which is completely different from any other peel I've used. First i cleanse and remove my makeup and cleanse with the clarifying cleanser then once my skin is completely dry i apply the peel, its a clearish liquid which has a strong vitamin c smell - not overpowering thou and i put this all over my face being careful of the area around my eyes i leave this on for 25 minutes it feels nice and cool on my skin and that continues for the time i leave it on, then i rinse it off with lukewarm water and i apply the serum and moisturiser. Its a different peel for me as its not really a peel as such its more of a clear mask.

Once a week i used the Detoxifying Mask which is so yummy, it has a purplish cream colour and just feels nice going on your skin, i apply this as a thin layer after i have cleansed and my skin is dry. I keep it on for the 20 minutes and once again it has a little tingle and my face feels cool for the time i keep it on, it has a fruity macadamia scent that makes you feel a bit relaxed. I then rinse off with lukewarm water and apply the serum and moisturiser. This is such a nice mask as your skin feels so good after it and i noticed after the second time my pores on my nose seem smaller! Yay!

This procedure carries on for two weeks and then i take a break and go back to my old routine. To be honest the old routine sucks and within a couple of days i feel that my skin is back to looking a bit dull and I've a few break outs so a day before I'm ready to start again i get back into it and my skin sighs with great relief.

Truth time here - I have never really believed that there was a non-surgical way to reverse aging of skin. I know some products will give you softer feeling skin or improve the appearance while you have them on, but actual reversal? No way! After using this system though, in the words of The Monkees (or Smash Mouth if you prefer), "When I saw [my] face, I'm a believer!!" When the system first arrived I was a little overwhelmed by the number of components (being a two/three step girl) in the system and a bit concerned that I would get confused by the instructions (natural blonde before anyone asks :P ) but I soon got over that because of the results! Anyway enough dribble let's get into the review!

First step in the Glycolic Clarifying Cleanser. This comes in a very handy pump bottle and is applied to damp/wet skin. The milky consistency and concentrated ingredients meant that I only needed two pumps each use. On the skin it didn't really foam up and I never got the tingles that were mentioned as a common feeling for users. I did leave it on the skin for a couple of mins each time as suggested - especially when wearing makeup- to get the full exfoliation effect. I am still undecided about the fragrance on this. It has a fruity scent with an acidic end note and I don't know if I love it or hate it! After rinsing my skin was left feeling soft and smooth - no dry patches! Step Two A - Micro-Cellular Age Correcting Peel. This is used every second night and IMO is the crown jewels of the system. Once again I didn't notice any tingles (except for the one time I forgot the tiny scratch that my kitten left on my neck and smeared it with peel - OUCH!!) but the results are apparent every time you rinse. Once again in a handy pump bottle I found that one pump was enough to cover my face in the clear, thin liquid. Perfume is hardly noticeable but is pleasant. Leave it on for 30 mins and wipe off the remaining product and some useless dead skin cells. Even though the results were so visible it was really gentle and at no time did I feel like my skin was being "peeled" off. Step Two B - Enzymatic Detoxifying Mask. Once a week switch the Peel out for this gorgeous mask. Pale blue in colour it goes on the skin easily and is dry in around 20 mins. It has a lovely fragrance and when rinsed off I really noticed an extra firmness to my skin as well as an obvious reduction in pore size. Step Three - Tri-Collagen Accelerating Serum. This comes in a cute little bottle with a dropper applicator and is used twice daily after the cleanse/peel/mask step. One large drop was enough for each time as the serum is milky in consistency and very rich. Applied to dry skin it really "perks" the skin up and prepares it for the final step.

Firstly, thank you Beauty Review for allowing me to take part in this amazing trial. I adore skin care products and had a great time using and learning about this range.

Step one: Glycolic Clarifying Cleanser This comes in a 100ml white palstic bottle with a clear lid. It is a glossy finish which looks quite classy. There is a light fragrance which is like fruity, nice and not at all offensive or overpowering. To use this I pumped twice and there was enough soft white lotion to cleanse my whole face and neck. My skin was damp to start with and I rubbed in circular movements. The cleanser felt soft and I did not notice the slight tingling that some users have said occured. I used this morning and evening. I did remove my eye make up first as this is not suitable for your eye area. Step Two: Micro-Cellular Age Correcting Peel This clear liquid comes in a 50ml bottle with a pump applicator. I used two-three pumps for my face and neck. You leave this on for around 30 minutes every second evening. The first time i used this I wasnt sure what to expect. Being called a peel conjures up all sorts of things, however I was plesently surprised. It goes onto your skin so nicely and evenly and feels beautiful and no way do you feel your skin is being peeled off. I felt a slight tingle in the second week of use but it was not uncomfortable. Step Three; Tri-Collagen Accelerating Serum. This gorgeous serum comes in a stout little 30ml bottle with an eye dropper for a dispenser. I used this after I cleansed my face and neck, very lovely to use. It absorbed well and there was no shine or oily residue. I found this not to have much of a fragrance to speak of. It is rich and creamy, as you would exoect from a serum, very pleasent to use.

Step Four: Antioxident Regenerative Cream This is probably my favourite product in the range. It comes in a 50ml pot, which has a very unique delivery system. You press down on the top and the cream pops out of something that looks like a huge pore, very clever because no bacteria or dirt can get into your very expensive, beautiful cream. The fragance of this cream is divine. This cream absorbs beautifully and is non greasy. Your skin feels soft and smooth and looks fresh and amazing.

Step Five: Enzymatic Detoxifying Mask This mask you will use once each week. It comes in a 70ml tube and is a pale blueish colour. It goes onto your skin nicely and will dry in about 15-20 minutes. Afterwards you will rinse with warm water and be totally in awe as to how you skin is looking and feeling. It looks fresh and well...new.

Over the six week process my skin has started to look better and better. I was hoping to see a reduction in my age spots on my face but that didnt happen. What I did notice was clearer skin with more of an even skin tone. I am more than happy with these results and will continue to use the range. The cost is out of my budget to re purcahse again but I will remember this trial with fondness.
