Youthful Essence® features a collection of products intended for at-home “microdermabrasion.” These items are intended for facial resurfacing and the removal of bumps and blemishes. The Youthful Essence® website also offers a “build your own kit” option for people who have specific needs. The sentiment towards this collection of products may be less than positive with some of the low scores in terms of effectiveness it has received on consumer-driven websites. We believe this may be accounted for by the fact that these items lack certain essential ingredients.

Bellaplex – Advanced Wrinkle Reduction & Prevention
Bellaplex is the most advanced face wrinkle reduction cream that we have ever come across. It contains the most powerful ingredients that have all been clinically proven to work hands down: Matrixyl 3000®, REAL & Fresh Collagen, Argireline®, and Hyaluronic Acid. The reason you never see these amazing ingredients in one formula is because it is very expensive to make and complicated to produce. The makers of Bellaplex price this fairly when all is considered and if you want results – start here. It also feels good on the skin and works beautifully under any make-up combination. Bellaplex has also won the prestigious BeautifulReview.com award two years running. The testimonials page on the official website is a mile long. The blog postings on this site have a very solid positive response rating. Have look at the postings – the customers say it all. Read a Full review of Bellaplex here.

Hydroleyes Under Eye Treatment
This is a unique product that serves a very distinct purpose – it gets rid of dark bags and circles under your eyes….and it achieves this very effectively. Their customers have very good things to say about the product and their positive blog posting ratio is very high. We like that Hydrolyze is not a bunch of random cosmetic ingredients, rather the two main ingredients are patented and clinically tested in double bind studies: Haloxyl® -- proven to reduce the leaked blood under the skin which gets rid of the dark circles & Matrixyl 3000® -- proven to decrease the lines around your eyes by 68%. This is the real deal and new customers can feel good about ordering from this company. Read a Full review of Hydroleyes here.

Flex Mini Skirt® -- Electronic Butt & Thigh Toning Technology
This is the first FDA approved skirt we have seen of this kind. The Flex Mini Skirt® was designed to strengthen and tone the lower body, all without the need for strenuous exercise. The electronic toning device, all on its own, works the glutes, hamstrings, waist as well as tummy – again all with out the need of vigorous exercise. We especially like that the skirt features varying degrees of intensity allowing you to progress all the way up to level 99 (the highest form of electronic stimulation.) The Flex Mini Skirt® does all the work so you don't have to. You will get a very effective workout without traditional exercising!! In fact – you can use it while surfing the internet, taking care of the kids, on the phone with friends, working, walking etc….talk about being all about multi-tasking. Most of us complain about not having the energy to exercise or simply not having the time because, well we don’t really like exercising in the first place. With this newly approved technology, women are reporting more results and less excuses for “working out”. Read a Full review of Flex Mini Skirt here.

From their clinical study, Orexia has shown that 96% of woman achieve an orgasm the first time they use it. Orexia® has a huge following with couples that needed a spark in their love life.

HoodiaP57® -- Pure 20X Strength Certified Hoodia
HoodiaP57 is the absolute best, entirely Hoodia based weight loss capsule we have ever seen. What truly separates this product from the copy cats, is that it has been formulated to 20X active strength, providing users with the most Hoodia per capsule you can find - anywhere. We especially like that the capsule contains a 100% certified, Hoodia directly from South Africa. Late night and in between meal snacking can be the down fall for many of us. Right now, there are numerous weight loss products on the market that are targeted for those seeking extra energy at the gym or at work - however its these extra ingredients that can sometimes keep people awake at night. This formula is stimulant free - meaning that it focuses entirely on that problem we all have, snacking. Read a Full review of Hoodia P57 here.

Healthy Pores - Women’s ACNE Treatment
For many otherwise attractive women, acne is the sole obstacle to looking and feeling beautiful and confident. For women in particular, clear, smooth skin is an essential aspect of beauty. While acne is certainly devastating for men as well, a certain degree of “roughness” is generally expected in male skin, and is not considered contrary to cultural notions of “masculinity.

HoodiaBites
HoodiaBites is one product we can get very excited about. This chewable form of 500mg of pure Hoodia features a great flavor and is by design, ultra portable! HoodiaBites are said to be very much like a candy and the makers use one of the highest concentrations of the Hoodia Cactus we have seen. One of the advantages to chews is the fact that may feel it is a more direct way for absorption. Additionally, the idea of being able to snack on a chew, at anytime, is more pleasing than just taking another diet capsule. The chewable bites are described as similar in texture to taffy and provide lasting natural appetite suppression. We were pleased to find that each chew is only a few calories and can be taken throughout the day to curb hunger on any diet. The product has done very well on the blogs and many are talking about the immediate effects and good taste. Read a Full review of HoodiaBites here.

Slim Shot – Effervescent Drinks for Every Diet
Slim Shot from England is now available in the United States! We first saw this formula on a trip and wished it was sold here. The design of the formula is what makes it so unique. Slim Shots use three individual effervescent packets - that you simply add to water. People report the product is very portable as you can take it with you on the go - anywhere. The 3 formulas are shaped to be taken around your normal day: Morning, Afternoon and Evening. The morning packet provides a pick me up and energy boost, while the afternoon makes sure to keep hunger at bay. The third part, the night time packet, works as a thermogenic to reduce body fat. We like that the evening formula was thoughtfully designed and contains no stimulants, guaranteeing a good nights rest. Everyone always says drink more water, with this product you can now enjoy the taste as well as the added benefits all day and all night long. This one is worth checking out and has gotten may positive posts. Read a Full review of Slim Shot here.

Marla: I'll do anything to look like Suzan Lucci! She is so beautiful and her skin looks wonderful. I have never tried her creams yet. Can anyone tell me if Youth essence really works? Thanks!

elisabeth: This Youthful Essence thing consists of a "yellow microcrystalline cream, a battery driven vibrating unit with sponge attachments, and various face wash and moisturizers." You are supposed to use the vibrating thingy to work the moisturizers into ur skin. I figured i would try it out, i like susan Lucci and all, but this really didn't work any better than a good exfoliant scrub. Plus it was way expensive. I feel like its really just a fancy vibrator and i feel ripped off.

pickles47: at first i realy liked youtful essencces bcs it made my skin so soft and t looked sorta like it was glowing and i felt good about the purchase & used it all the time. but than it made me breakout after 2 weeks about, so now, i don't use it & my skin is improved a bit.

Clara: I don't know what compelled me to buy this soap opera show bullshit. It was late at night and I was desperate...It is just as cheap as I thought it would be. It left my skin raw and red. yuck.

Nerrisa: Cannot say there's anything wrong with this, its fine as an exfoliant, but it doesn't seem to be any better than the Neutrogena Microdermabrasion I used before. And Youthful Essence costs quite a bit more, I thought it would be beter.

katie: WHERE IS THE CUSTOMER SERVICE # FOR THIS YOUTHFUL ESSENCE PRODUCT???? I CANT FIND IT ANYWHERE & I WANT TO RETURN THIS! IT CAUSED A SEVERE BREAKOUT OF CYSTIC ACNE ON DAY 3 OF USE. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE # IS NOT ON THE WEBSITE & I REALLY NEED TO GET AHOLD OF SOMEONE. PLEASE HELP!

Lucy: When you look at Susan Lucci, and realize she's got to be like, what, 100? And her skin is to die for, so you figure that anything that's got her name on it has to work for the obvious reasons...well, Youthful Essence is just another version of those resurfacing thingies, just like the one put out by Neutrogena, only Neutrogena's cheaper, and doesn't leave your face all red and blotchy. So save your money on this one, and get the cheaper product, it's all the same, really.

Ilene: Youthful Essence is in a word, garbage. I have gotten microdermabrasion treatments at the salon before and for a minute it seemed like a good idea. oh what a bad decision this purchase was! it burns, stings and smarts. It's just awful. This should be left to professionals, not Susan Lucci.

maggieMay: This caused my skin to become red & irritated, even when I adjusted the pressure of the device. It looked like such a cool product, I just HAD to have it, but I've been pretty disappointed wiht the Youthful Essence system.

Ann Vera: How often is it best to use Youthful Essence? I have been using it at night, about 5 days a week for a month now & am wondering if I need to use it more often for results?

Patricia: Used the Youthful Essence Cleansing facial wash and I agree it's very gentle. A bit too gentle for me, I could only use it in the morning because at night it does not remove makeup. Also leave my skin a bit too dry. I stopped using it and moved to something cheaper and better for my needs.

Maude: Been using the Youthful Essence for just a few days, it hurts to use it, would appreciate any tips from some of you longer time users, thank you.

Vivian: I can't believe I tried this on my skin, and I guess it's because Susan Lucci endorsed it, and that's what convinced me. But YouthfulEssence is too strong for my skin, it's looking like it even have scabs before the healing is done. So next time I'm going to get a gentle scrub that comes ina gel, and not do this routine, ever again.

marianna: Well, how is this Youthful Essence thing supposed to make u look younger? I don't get it.

stacey millhouse: lately i've been hearing alot about Hyaluronic Acid and Collagen. I've been wondering whether it might be a smarter idea for me to just find a product with those ingredients in them, rahter than buy this weird apparatus that i don't understand how it works. Anybody have any advice on this?

Carla: UGh, Youthful Essence was just horrible; the only "youthful" part about it was the blemishes it brought to the surface after 10 days. It should be called "Adolescence Essence." THUMB DOWN

Kelly: How long does it take to do that whole thing, I saw a demo but seems like it takes forever to put on. Is it is the case?

JulyPetersen: The Daily Hand Moisture Protection was okay actually, but not better than something from CVS. Its sad actually that she has to sell this stuff. At least Suzanne Sommers thigh master worked. I feel sorry but I have to give a thumbs down after all.

Thelma: This has made my skin feel SUPER soft & smooth, and thankfully, I have no acne or anything unsightly, except for a few fine lines. how long should it be until these go away?

Babs: I have to say I like how my skin feels after I use YouthfulEssence...it's really smooth, and I think that the color's evening out, BUT, you positively cannot use this more than once every 3 days or so, or you'll end up with a mess. If you end up with raw skin, it's really your own fault! Take it easy with this stuff, and it works, but if you try to use it every day, you'll have some sorry results. Just be careful.

Lindsay: IS it safe to use creams containing AHAs while using Youthful Essence?

Teddy: I think that this Youthful Essence is ok, but I did find it hard to use. I mean, if you do it like the instructions say, it's confusing, and there are too many steps to follow, so that's a drawback. I like the end results, I just wish it were a simpler process.

sheri: I sort of like the moisturizer that comes with Youthful Essence, it sinks in nicely and is very light and non-comedogenic. But at the same time, I really didn't care for that weird device, it was almost painful and caused a great deal of redness. most importantly, it did not seem to make any difference whatsoever to my wrinkles or fine lines.

Becky: Susan Lucci's still got what it takes...she's just so beautiful, and if I could end looking as good as she does at her age, it would be a happy day. So I bought Youthful Essence, thinking, Yeah! I'm going to age in a great way, too, but I swear, you practically have to be an aesthetician to get all this stuff on in the right order and in the right amount. so maybe I'll get somebody to help me do this, a neighbor or someone, and we can trade off giving each other treatments.

Teolia: She made me hope that suzan, I fell because of the way she looks, I forgot it could have been surgery that could make her look so good. So I bought the Youthful essence and of course it does not work at all so if I can save you anytime and money ladies I would not feel so bad for falling for it.

Katherine: This Youthful Essence was the biggest waste of money ever, and I wasn't able to get the customer service number either. I think this might just be a giant scam.

Lizzie: I think that I like this product, Youthful Essence, but it's a bit pricey for me. Does anyone know of just a scrub that would do the job and not cost so much? I've heard Neutrogena makes a sort of gel scrub that you can use every day. Anybody tried it?

Donna: You are not supposed to use this for more than 4 times per week, right? I also read that it is suitable for teenagers, my 13-year-old has acne, should I introduce her to Youthful Essence?

Riley: Well I have only been using this for 2 weeks but I like it so far. My skin is very smooth & soft & it only takes a few minutes to use the Youthful Essence device. Cool product.

AnnieLorie: I liked the little machine that you use with Youthful Essence, but the grainy stuff you have to put on your face first didn't smell very good, and left my skin quite irritated. Maybe I used too much of it? I wasn't very clear on how to spread it on myface with the sponges...why not just use your fingers?

Sophia: I bought mine on HSN and got a pretty good price for it and I really enjoy using it. It's that time of a day where I feel like I can pamper myself. As far as making me look younger, not sure about that but it makes my skin feel smooth and that is good enough for me.

Cadence: I cant be too harsh here since I really admire Ms Lucci and her career and her ability to reinvent herself I hope to do the same thing in my life. My mom sold Mary Kay and she was able to be independent and i want to be like that too. I bought a bunch of these beauty products and they are not my favorite but like I said I just appreciate what she is doing for women.

OLIVIA: NO, Lindsay, it is NOT a good idea to use AHAs on your skin while using Youthful Essence, WAY too harsh! Just try one or the other, I still haven't decided which is better.

Danielle: I'm pretty sure that Susan Lucci has had plastic surgery. I'm sending this thing back. It made me break out into hives.

Diana: I am confused about how these products are meant to be used togetehr in a system. I am on my lunch break and quickly trying to sort the good from the bad in terms of beauty products and I saw this Susan Lucci Youthful Essence line and I admit I was curious but based on what I am reading here skeptical to say the least. I need something affordable that is going to work and I do like the idea of mixing and matching if it is cheaply made that wont be of any use to me, right? thanks for the advice!

Brittany: This left my skin raw & I followed all instructions. Youthful Essence was not worth the money.

michelle: DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT AND GO OUT IN THE SUN!!! IT WILL BURN U UP.

Shelia: Love it. I'm in my mid-50's & suffer from a faceful of clogged pores. I only use the resurfacing cream with the unit (not the cleansers, etc) & it keeps my face looking wonderful! A bit pricey tho.

CC: I use this for 3 days and off for 2 days. My skin is baby smooth. Pores have been reduced dramatically. Don't forget to moisturize; this is not a stand alone product. I use Wei day and night creams

Joyce: I was excikted to hear about Youthful Essence and called to order. Upon hearing the great deal...I was told my account would be charged each month thereafter for supplies. The forced sales tactics tell me that the company does not have faith in its product and all their glittzy claims to not let their customers decide for themselves. Yes, they saikd it can be cancelled at any time, but we all know how that goes..numerous letters, phone calls, emaails, and alot of headaches just to get it cancelled. Unfortunately, I am sure I'm not the only customer who feels this way about your forced sales tactics and makes us believe that it's not cut out to be what you claim.

belini: I have been using this for over a year and think it works great..I have combo skin that's proned to clog and break out..I only use the crystal cream ALONE, use with your finger tips and gently. I have smooth blimish free skin finally. The tool caused my skin to sag.,so I stopped using it. I only purchase this product every 5 months or so..use it frequently but sparingly. Good Luck

Lorrie: Katie - Youthful Essence Customer Svcs # 1800 394-8565

Jocelyn: Not sure I like YouthFul Essence, my skin is still full of blemishes after 2 months of using. I might call & cancel this,thx for the number. Does anyoneknow what works beter?

Lisa: My skin was improved in no way whatsoever with Youthful Essence, and I really found all those monthly charges to be a huge headache. i called every month to cancel, and kept getting new charges, every month! Finally cancelled my Visa card to make 'em stop. Anyway, Jocelyn, I like Healthy Pores for clearing up my skin, its not too harsh but my skin is clear & smooth.

Ann: YouthfulEssence is a very ordinary exfoliant. The "tool" has a brief life span, and new batteries do not bring it back to life. Even before it starts to die, the sponge starts coming off of it. Just another high profile commercial with a very disappointing product.

kris: I have been using this and really like it. I use my own cleanser from Clinique. If you overuse this product I could see how you could get raw skin. But used in moderation it is great. I called and canceled the monthly shipments the same day it came in the mail so that I wouldn't forget. I just buy replacement products at my leisure off of ebay. It only took 2 minutes to cancel, they weren't pushy or anything. I was really surprised.

Devon: Was also disappointed with Youthful Essence tool, worked fine for maybe 5 weeks and then it died. I replaced the batteries and it only lasted for 3 day! ITs a pretty cheaply made device if you ask me.

Jean: Not only is this an expensive product but the customer service is horrible--noone seems to know what is going on!!!! - Youthful Essence

Kristen: I have used this product now for a year every other day on my face. I think it works great. It leaves my skin soft and an added bonus is that it helped my acne to clear up. The combination of their mask and scrub caused my face to clear up much better than any acne product I have used in the past (includign proactive). I will give you a hint though buy through hsn its cheaper than the youthful essence wqebsite and you can choose your autoship plan depending on how much you use it. As for the device, I'm still using the first device with the same first battery. - Youthful Essence

Fabby: I bought this product years ago, but I use it here and their. I just finished all the micro cream. I love it. I need more and I am going to purchase another set. The first time or every time you use it, you can feel the difference. Thank you this is a great product, I love it.

Demetria: What do you babes expect? You probably have been neglecting your skin for years and now want a miracle. I started taking care of my skin when I was 21 and now at 67 and with help from this product it still is wrinkle free. I use a variety of things and this is the "base' of other skin care. It takes care to have good skin.

Marni: I ordered this product the first week of December and they took $35 out of my checking account. Then 2 weeks after receiving my kit they took $97 out of my account and sent me another kit!!! Which I refused and had mailed back. 4 weeks later they STILL will not refund my money. You get the runaround no matter WHO you talk to!

Youthful Essence®

Youthful Essence® is a set of purifying skincare products. Youthful Essence® has an anti-aging program that is designed to fight wrinkles and repair damaged skin. The Youthful Essence® website makes some interesting claims, but we’ll take a closer look at this item to see how they measure up.

There are thousands of ineffective or potentially dangerous products in this market, so we believe choosing the right one can be an important part of a person’s skin health. One way we believe people can fight the aging battle is to be informed about the active ingredients contained in such products.

 Ingredients at a Glance
Youthful Essence® includes multiple items. These “kits” may also be specially arranged to meet an individual’s needs. We’ll take a look at a couple of the items offered by Youthful Essence®.

For instance, Youthful Essence® Cleansing Facial Wash
may contain some of the following ingredients: Water (Aqua), Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine, Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, Sodium Lauroamphoacetate, Sodium Trideceth Sulfate, Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, Lauramide DEA, Tocopheryl Acetate, Lactic Acid, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Geranium Maculatum Oil, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil, Thymus Vulgaris (Thyme) Oil, Cupressus Sempervirens Oil, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Propylene Glycol, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Anthemis Nobilis Flower Extract, Sambucus Nigra Flower Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Extract, Oleyl Betaine, Polysorbate 20 and Diazolidinyl Urea.

Youthful Essence Vitamin Enriched Resurfacing Cream – Sensitive Skin Formula
may contains some of the following ingredients: Aluminum Oxide, Water (Aqua), Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil, Cetearyl Alcohol, Sodium Cetearyl Sulfate, Stearic Acid, Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Oil, Wine Extract, Bacopa Monniera Extract, PEG-8, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Propylene Glycol, Panthenol, Lecithin, Cetyl Alcohol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Retinyl Palmitate, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Extract, Hydrolyzed Oat Flour, Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Seed Extract, Bisabolol, Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Extract, Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Bran Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Aminomethyl Propanediol, Beta Carotene, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylparaben, Butylparaben, Isobutylparaben, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Geranium Maculatum Oil and Cananga Odorata Flower Oil.

Youthful Essence® is advertised as being safe for “all types of skin,” yet we never see any clinical evidence to support these products or such claims.

 Ingredients in Focus
In general, Youthful Essence® appears to be a fairly standard skincare approach that, for the most part, contains mediocre ingredients. Youthful Essence® is advertised as a “home microdermabrasion kit,” but people should be aware that these items may not achieve dermatologist-quality results.

In addition, we noticed that Youthful Essence® lacks quality ingredients like Matrixyl 3000®, which is known to moisturize, which keeps skin soft and vibrant. This ingredient may also assist in reducing wrinkles and restoring the skin. When searching for a skincare product, we believe it is crucial for people to look for proven ingredients like Matrixyl 3000®.

Youthful Essence® also includes a “resurfacing” tool that helps apply the items contained in this set of products. However, several online testimonials claim that this device is poorly designed.
 Lifestyle
With so many choices, making the right choice in skincare is not always an easy decision. However, choosing an item with the most effective ingredients may be an important part of healthy skincare. Youthful Essence® may not be safest or most effective item on the market. In fact, despite its supposed “physician recommendation,” Youthful Essence® seems to be potentially unreliable. Youthful Essence® appears to lack an adequate refund policy, which is often a sign of a high quality manufacturer and a good way for people to feel confident in the items they buy.

 Positives
• Professional website
• Contains multiple products
• Competitively priced
• Easy ordering may be available


 Negatives
• May not contain Matrixyl 3000®
• Inadequate refund policy
• No free trial as of this review
• No FAQ section posted at this time


 Final Thoughts
Many products like those included in the Youthful Essence® line are mediocre items that are geared towards making a quick sale. People should keep in mind that not all skincare products are safe for long-term use. The long-term appearance of the skin may be deeply impacted by the products customers use. That is why we feel it is so important for people to search for items that contain high quality ingredients that fit their individual needs. Most high quality products are backed by consumer testimonies and have been featured in prominent publications.

Safe and effective ingredients to look for may include Matrixyl 3000® and Argireline, which are known to be efficient skincare ingredients that provide great results without side effects. In the end, we tend to agree with the consumer reports that have rated Youthful Essence® as an inferior item. We believe people may be better off looking elsewhere for high quality skincare items. Our research shows that such items often come from industry-award-winning companies that are more than willing to provide a complete list of ingredients for each of their products. Often these companies will back up their products by providing research and a money-back guarantee.
