Dr Lewinns Reversaderm Complete System Review

I absolutely could not believe that I was one of the lucky reviewers for this product range! I think I even let out a squeal! step 1 – The Cleanser. I dampened my skin with warm water prior to applying. It’s a really light, creamy product so don’t expect it to foam. To be honest, it felt so light that I didn’t think much of it but I felt results from the very first application, my skin felt smoother.

step 2 – The Peel. This is to be used every second day. I ended up doing a schedule on my phone because I quickly forgot what day I was on. This product contains such delicious active ingredients that you feel the results immediately. I have used salon and at-home peels before and have experienced very strong tingling to very light. I would describe this as a short tingle which soon dissipated and was very comfortable to have on. I let the gel preparation sit on my skin for 25 minutes. step 3 – The Serum. This is probably my favourite step… it feels gorgeous and silky on such fresh skin. The serum looks a pearly cream colour and is quite light to the touch. I love the wee fat bottle, so cute! This absorbs quite rapidly into my dehydrated skin but it leaves it feeling soft and loved.

step 4 – The Regenerative Cream. This moisturizer comes in a very handy pump container so it’s much cleaner and cost effective as you only pump as much as you need. I tend to do not quite a full pump in the morning and then a full one at night. It absorbs nicely into the skin but sometimes after the peel, I still feel would not quite hydrated enough.

step 5 – The Mask. This is such a nice, light purplish mask that feels refreshing and hydrating. I really looked forward to my ‘mask’ nights as it was a good time to sit back and relax. I would also do my teeth whitening as well… bonus! My skin was left feeling hydrated, smoother and clear. It has a cooling effect on the skin and is the only mask that didn’t redden my skin after removal, it actually had the opposite effect! This is to be used once a week. My skin is dry and sensitive, pigmented and dull. I thoroughly loved using the Reversaderm program and recommend it to anyone looking for a quality at-home range. I have been quite neglectful of my skincare lately so I really enjoyed the extra love and commitment I was giving my skin, however in saying that, it was not arduous or lengthy and totally doable in our fast paced lives. If you are a bit forgetful like me then I highly recommend writing up a wee schedule for peel days. My skin is so much more hydrated than before, it has a fresher tone to it. Make up is much easier to apply and I was grateful that I had no break outs during this period. There was no irritation and is a perfect product for reviving your skin before an important event, such as a wedding or in my case, an overseas trip!

I was excited to be offered an opportunity on this trial team. This range claims to resurface and renourish ageing or damaged skin. This is my first time using this type of skincare.

STEP 1- CLARIFY -Glycolic Clarifying Cleanser

This bottle came in a pump bottle. Each pump disperses enough for one application making it last a very long time. The consistency is smooth white with a fresh musky floral scent. I put this on for ten minutes each time morning and night for the duration of two weeks on. At first I feel a tingling sensation . It's not painful and I notice it goes away by the second week of use. This process feels like a cleaning cleansing effect. My skin is still feels hydrated, hasn't tightened like others I've tried.

STEP 2 - RESSURFACE- Micro Cellular Age Correcting Peel

This bottle is also in a pump plastic bottle. The consistency of this is like a clear gel. It smells like a strong alcohol with floral mixed in. Very Weird smell almost like a bad perfume. When I first put it on I felt a burning sensation. This went away after a couple of minutes. I notice as I progress with this peel on every second night it's like I can't feel any burning or tingling. My skin appeared red on the first week but notice that it's fully restored by the second to third week.

STEP 3 - REVIVE- Tri Collagen Accelerating Serum

This bottle was the show stopper amongst the other skincare packaging. It has this pearlescent white glass. The most beautiful serum bottle I've ever owned. The dropper is good quality too . The texture of this serum feels soft and more refined. It has a soft musk scent that lingers after use. It works its magic after each cleanse and peel. My skin feels glowy as time goes on .

STEP 4 - RESTORE- Antioxidant Regenerative Cream

This came in a large sized pot. I had to ask my partner how to work this one. He showed me that I push down on the plastic and it pushes out enough cream for each use. This way I guess the cream isnt exposed . The texture of it is smooth creamy non greasy softly fragranced.This part feels like I'm giving my skin food to nourish and heal. I would have liked some SPF Added to the formula of it.

STEP 5 - DETOX- Enzymatic Detoxifying Mask

This one came in a long thin tube. Similar branding to the other bottles. The colour of it is a light purple shade quite light creamy consistency. I put this on once a week. I feel a slight tingle with this but it goes away with time.

When I first started this skincare system my skin was red and dry in an awful condition. During the course of six weeks I saw my skin transform from being red and dry to being smooth , hydrated glowy skin. There was a small reduction with my fine lines . This is the best skincare system I've ever tried. It's ideal for resurfacing and restoring skin. Definately worth its price. I had my doubts but I was wrong. It worked well for me.

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.

Step 1: Clarify Glycolic Clarifying Cleanser This product was used every day, twice a day. Morning and night minus the off weeks. The cleanser is white in colour, floral scented and lightweight. The cleasner isn't thick or runny, a really thin consistencey. I used 2 pumps worth of product to wash my face with, massaging it into my face for 2 minutes but leaving it on my face for a good 6-7 minutes before rinsing it off and towel drying my face. I was super surprised that the cleanser didnt lather, so no bubbles. For the first two weeks I noticed a slight tingle senastion to the skin on my face but on week 5 and 6 I didn't get that sensation at all. My skin was left feeling incredibly clean and soft after use.

Step 2: Resurface Micro-Cellular Age correcting Peel This product was used every 2nd night minus the off weeks. The peel cream is a clear liquid, a little runny. The scent to me is similar to the cleanser but with more of a 'cleanser' smell to it. I used 3 pumps worth of product which was enough to cover my face, just a light film across my face. I generally left it on for 30 minutes, rinsing it off with luke warm water. Let's talk about that stinging sensation lol. It was definetly strong but only for a minute - maybe less before it subsided. I did notice if i had worn makeup that day the sting was a little more intense than when not wearing makeup.

Step 3: Revive Tri-Collagen Accelerating Serum This product was used every day twice a day minus the off weeks. The peel is a beautiful pearlescent white colour, much the same consistency as the cleanser and smells the same as well. I used 2 droplet pumps of the serum for my face, I did find it took a bit to absorb into my skin, but after it was well massaged in my skin felt so soft! I noticed when I was out in the sun for the day using this on my skin, it did sting a little but it didnt happen often.

Step 4: Restore Antioxidant Regenerate Cream This product was used every day, twice a day minus the off weeks. The cream smells amazing! Just like roses and it's just like a body butter. One pump is enough product to use on your face. The packaging is very unique. Round with a clear lid, pop the lid off and push down on the pad for the product to come up through the hole in the pad. It left my skin feeling silky smooth and hydrated.

After accepting this trial I had a case of butterflies - my current skincare works for me, what if i was about to mess up my face? Words like 'acid' and 'peel' are kinda scary when you're talking about your face. But, accept it I had, and so I was going to do it.

I started this on the first of December which made it way easier to track the schedule - i think in future i'd try and start on the first of the month to make sure that I was keeping track of which days to do the peels and masks, because the second session, with it beginning after Xmas and happening while I was on break, confused me.

This range comes packaged as a range, in a variety of white bottles, tubes and pottles with metallic blue and black writing. It looks classy, slightly medicinal, and expensive.

The GLYCOLIC CLARIFYING CLEANSER is actually far more of a mild product than I was anticipating. It comes in a sizeable bottle equipped with a pump action dispenser This is the only dispenser that got messy, but this could be due to the fact that you use this one twice a day. The cleanser lotion is white, medium thickness and has a faint scent - nothing I can put my finger on, it just smells clean and fresh. You massage this onto damp skin for 30 seconds, leave for a couple of minutes and rinse off. This doesn't feel like it's stripping anything out of skin and it certainly doesn't feel like there is acid in it, which I was worried about. It does tingle (note: not hurt, but it's a sharp tingle) when you use it the day after a peel/mask), which can be disconcerting, but the tingle is only momentary. This also didn't remove my makeup - so I used a cleansing oil first.

The TRI-COLLAGEN ACCELERATING SERUM is the most expensive feeling product in the range. It's extreme luxury, from the dispenser being a wee dropper (implies that you should only use a little) to the luxurious feeling of this on skin. This is probably my favourite in the range - it literally feels like its rejuvenating my skin from the moment i put it on my face. It's hydrating without being at all greasy (the word 'serum' usually makes me feel oily without even touching the product!) and super lush and divine on skin. It's a thick-ish white cream with a lotion-type scent - really fresh and luxurious.

The ANTI-OXIDANT REGENERATIVE CREAM comes in some of the coolest packaging I've seen yet. It's a pottle, but with a pump lid that you simply push down on to have product pop up. It DOES dispense more than I feel necessary so I try and only 'pump' it very lightly. This is a very thick, off-white cream with a typical face cream scent. Its spreads well and hydrates beautifully, with no residue and fast absorption. When combined with the serum it genuinely feels like you're gifting your skin with a wee mini facial a couple of times a day.

Following the 2on/2off cycle for 6 weeks I had great results. It says to take 2 weeks off due to 'efficacy of ingredients' but I'm sure it's so you can be reminded how terrible your regular products are compared to these! My skin is norm/dehydrated. Cleanser - It has quite a strong, fresh, citrusy scent. It's creamy white, is non foaming & can be left on for a few mins for extra exfoliating. I used 1 & a bit pumps each time. The 100ml easy to use pump bottle will last a good while - it's at a fair price point. It deeply cleaned without drying, although it did seem to make my hands peel from massaging it in. Serum -I don't like dropper style bottles & mine arrived blocked. I used a pin & unblock where some product had gone gluggy in it. With minimal scent & a white opaque colour, it absorbs quickly & easily into skin without being oily. Benefits of brightened skin, improved radiance and skin tone were definitely met. A key ingredient in this, the cream & mask, is French Saffron to improve radiance & skin tone. Down side is the amount you need to use this product seems very expensive & for this price I'd like better packaging & more product. Cream - is very light. It has a scent similar to the cleanser but not as strong. I love the style of dispenser - you press the top down & a bit of moisturiser pops out. No mess no fuss. This one seems a bit springy, if you press too fast too much product comes out & it flicks everywhere. If a product is cheap I'm not too fussy but if it's expensive I expect even the packaging to be quality. One pump is enough for face & neck. It absorbs very quickly & skin is left soft, tight & bright with no oiliness. After using just the cleanser, serum & moisturiser my skin looked beautiful, I noticed a difference straight away it seemed clear & soft. Peel- I used 4 pumps of the generous sized peel every 2nd day. Its like a clear serum that spread easily over my face. After 30 minutes it has dried but still feels sticky on skin. Easily washed off with water. At first I noticed no burning, tingling or redness. At the start of the 4th week of product use (6th week real time) it tingled for a few of mins but it went away - I wasn't worried about this feeling as it is similar to having a professional peel & makes the product seem closer to salon quality. Mask - used once a week in replacement of the Peel. It's a light, creamy formula with a slight mauve tint to it but appears almost clear when applied and a light scent. First couple of mins the mask started to warm, calming down at 8 mins. It was by no means bad at all - I just feel I should mention it. These left my skin looking younger in every way - plump, pores reduced, smooth, even toned & glowing. I experienced no extra breakouts from the products. My dry 'yoga patch' on my chin is gone. Makeup is a dream to apply. I use much less foundation & get a very soft & smooth result. After just two weeks fine lines were less noticeable - collagen synthesis in action

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 ecstatic when I was invited to trial this. My once normal skin was a nightmare of hormonal acne mixed with dry patches and oily cheeks, it was in the worst condition it had ever been and to be selected for this trial gave me hope that my skin could be what it once was (if not better).

-Glycolic clarifying cleanser. This was used twice a day, morning and night. The pump bottle dispenses a small amount of cleanser which is great for not wasting any product. I wash my face and apply 4 pumps of this to my face and neck massaging it in counting to 30 before leaving it on for 2 minutes. Washing this off feels refreshing.

- Tri collagen accelerating serum. I use this after I cleanse my face, unless its the day to use the peel then this will go after the face peel. I use the tip of the glass to apply dots to my face, then using circular motions to help it work its way into my skin. Each time I use this I get satisfaction at watching the serum absorb into my fine lines, my skin absorbs this almost instantly and brightens my under eyes.

- Antioxidant regenerative cream. The cream is always the last step of the routine. The container it comes in brings out my inner Dr pimple popper, you push down the sides and the cream comes out the middle. It resembles melted butter and it literally melts into my face, 2 pumps is enough for my face and neck. My skin looks visibly hydrated and feels so smooth.

- Micro-cellular age correcting peel. This I found the most frightening only because I've heard experiences on what peels can do but I was scaring myself for no reason! The peel is used on Day 2, 4, 8, 10, 12 and then you repeat once you've done your 2 week break. You apply this once you've cleansed your skin and apply a small amount with your fingertips. The thin clear liquid can be hard to see and for the first few times I used a little too much. 2 pumps is enough for my face and neck. It has an instant cooling effect as soon as it touches my skin. The first time I applied this I started to panic as my skin felt like it was burning but after 10 minutes the sensation just simmered down. I leave this on for 30 minutes before washing this off.On the days I do the peel I try to avoid the sun.

- Enzymatic detoxifying mask. This is used once a week and its a real treat! It smells amazing and it resembles pastel purple toner. After every 6th day you cleanse your skin and then apply this. You apply a layer to your face and neck and wait up to 20 minutes for it to soak in. It leaves my skin looking plump and full of life.

Overall- My skin has been restored,the overall skin is gleaming and refreshed, the fine lines around my mouth where I used to smoke have reduced a lot, the small pores I had on the tops of my cheeks have disappeared and most of my hormonal acne has gone. Some scaring has lightened and my skin is nearly back to normal to combination skin. I am super happy with the outcome of my skin.

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 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
