Moisterizer (biotherm biosensitive)

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone:

Has anyone tried Biotherm Biosensitive Thermal Calming Spray or their

calming moisterizer? I received a sample from Shoppers Drug Mart and

have been using for about a week. It seems to be OK. My skin feels

nice. Does anyone find that when using a topical product that it may

take more than a week to figure out if it will cause problems or

not? Please let me know. I want to buy the moisterizer but it is

very expensive and as you fellow rosaceans know we already spend lots

of $$ on products we can't continue to use.

Sorry, I don't have the ingredients with me to post right now.

Thanks for any input.

Star, I tried Biotherm Biosensitive's foaming cleanser last winter. I

thought it had a weird consistency, did a terrible at cleaning, was

very expensive, plus had fragrance listed in the ingredients despite

advertising itself as fragrance-free. Thermal plankton -- gimme a

break!

Biotherm is under Lancome's umbrella, so their consumer relations

department should be a good source of ingredients.

I need a good two weeks before I know whether a product works for me.

Two examples I know about: myistate and related compounds did not

cause pustules until at least a week in, and some so-called anti-

inflammatory agents that work great in the beginning either stop

working, or start irritating my skin, by the second week.

In my experience some upscale department stores, and

Parfumie/House of Beauty, allow for returns even after product use.

Like you, I don't purchase an expensive skin care product without a

guarantee that I can return it. Explaining the need for a full two-

week trial usually gets me an extra sample vial or two.

Hope that helps.
