You can read more about the cleansers vs Fanie cleanser on the front page of Fanie website. My skin got irritated at first from the Unveil and the mask because I tried all the products on the first night I got them instead of letting my skin get used to the cleanser and the moisturizer at first. Now being 2 weeks on the products my skin has never been better. I don't get breakouts anymore like I used to before I started using the line. Also all my blackheads are gone and I've had a huge blackhead problems the past couple of years. My skin is very breakout prone and sensitive. First when you start using the products your skin goes through disencrustation and my skin is going through that right now. It's dry around the mouth and in couple of other areas and I talked to Florence, the owner, about it and she said that the reason your skin gets dry in that area is because the Fanie products cleanse your skin from the deep not just on the surface like regular products do so your skin tries to get rid of all the toxins it has taken in over the years. If you smoke (I don't) you are especially going to see that your skin is trying to cleanse itself by getting dry around the mouth and nose area when you start using the products at first. The disencrustation usually takes a week or more depending on a person's skin and Fanie doesn't recommend mixing the products with regular drugstore/department store brands because of the way Fanie products are developed to help your skin deep clean first and then work by itself the way it's suppose to work. I'm a huge department store product fan. I like the luxury products and I've always thougth that by paying more for a face cream it works better on your skin so I was very sceptical about trying a line like this. My hubby got me a gift certificate so I didn't have a choice but try the products.
I bought the travel kit with the gift certificate so that I could try them all and now I thank my hubby everyday. I'm sure he is glad too because of all the money I've wasted over there years for trying all kinds of lines from Clarins to La Mer just to name a few and I don't have to keep bying different things anymore. I've found the line that works the best for my skin and my search for the next best thing is over.
Here are the ingreadients for Revital-Eyes: Water, hypromellose, herbal seed extracts, lavender, heather, methylparaben, propylparaben, chloroxylenol. My eyes are sensitive (I don't wear contacts) and this product doesn't irritate my eyes. The first time I put too much of the product on the cotton ball and it got all over my eyes and didn't sting like others have when I've done the same thing.
