Hi - anyone tried Skin+me?

Can you share your experiences please? TIA!

I used revive+me which is the same company.
It was nice but didn't do anything that my usual nighttime skincare routine didn't already do.

Have been on tret with skin&me for about a year now. It's very slow going and I had to force them to increase my % at one point but really starting to see a difference now. My skin is so much better, I've got very few lines for my age (I'm told!) and the massive chin spots have disappeared.

I do worry about the monthly cost but I don't buy very much else skincare wise these days so probably works out a bit more than I was previously spending on lots of expensive moisturiser etc.

I think it depends on your existing skin. I used it and it was fine.But it was nothing special, but I didn't really have any issues such as acne or scars or anything. I have fine lines because I am 43 and in six months of use I didn't notice any real difference in that all.

I (45 yo) love Skin and Me. I’ve been using it for a couple of years now and it’s definitely made a difference to the fine lines around my eyes. When I smile I no longer have the crows feet that I previously had. My skin also generally looks good. It hasn’t improved the forehead lines but then they haven’t got worse in the past two years either. I think my skin looks good for my age.

I've been using tretinoin from skin+me for years. When I first started using it it made a dramatic difference to my skin and so I just stuck with it. They are very slow to increase the strength of tretinoin though, which I find annoying.

Recently my skin has been looking very dull and I've been getting more breakouts so I'm doing a trial of Dermatica. They have prescribed the same % of tret that I already use (I did explain what I currently use) and will up it next month. So I'll see how that goes.

I started on skin + me a few years ago. It took a few months but then I suddenly noticed the tret glow. As I've aged I've moved onto revive and me. I've not noticed any dramatic increased benefits but my skin still looks good wrinkle wise. Sagging is something else altogether!

I'm using it but really feel they're dragging their feet upping the %age.
I've noticed no change for better or worse. I emailed to ask why they'd kept me on 0.018% for 4 months (after I'd been on it for 5 months increasing from 0.006% to 0m018%) and they agreed to up it very slowly again to 0.027%. Currently on 0.024%, it'll go up again next month and then they plan to keep me on 0.027% for four months after that.
So that's just about a year I've been on it.
My skin has never been sensitive and I feel like they're happy to keep taking my money monthly and not giving much back in return.
I'm inclined to look at moving to Dermatica as I've heard they're a bit more rapidly with the increases.

I like it a lot! I was on Dermatica but moved to Skin+me : I actually prefer their dosing system and I like that they combined my Tret with Azelaic acid as that has worked very well for me. I am on 0.023% of tret and that works well for me. Any higher and I get terrible peeling so this hits the sweet spot for me.
