Clientele Elastology Skincare Starter Kit

Are you constantly on the lookout for good skincare? You must know by now that skincare is one of my passions. I’m all for using products that are good for my skin that will help with the aging process. As we age we start to see the effects of gravity. We loose collagen and the elasticity in our skin which makes our skin start to sag. Some of us are a bit (or a lot) luckier than others. I was recently able to try out the Clientele Elastology Skincare Starter Kit. This is a great way to be able to try out an entire line of products without investing a lot of money.

Clientele Beauty has been around for over 40 years. They are a cruelty-free company. They were one of the first companies to promote nutritional skincare on the inside in conjunction with skincare products on the outside. In addition, Clientele’s products contain an ingredient which is an extract of the Sacred Lotus Seed. Clientele has been awarded a United States Patent for Lotus Seed Anti-Aging Technology. You can read more about their special ingredient on their website.

A few months ago I did one of those home DNA tests that determines the skincare concerns based on your own DNA. I found it to be pretty fascinating. If you’re interested, you can read that post HERE. My results revealed that my areas of concern are collagen quality and skin elasticity. I completely agree with that based on the current appearance of my skin. That is why I was so excited to try this particular skincare regimen from Clientele. It has every single item needed for a complete morning and evening routine. It comes with a nice little bag to throw into your suitcase, purse or carry-on so you can keep up with your routine no matter where you are.

Everything you need is in this nice little travel size kit. The following are included for only $49.95:

• Gentle Soy Antioxidant Wash (2 oz) with Double Action Sponge – Extra gentle, pH-balanced cleanser with Lotus, Soy Protein, Aloe, Green Tea and skin beautifying vitamins A. E and Panthenol. Great for all skin types.

Sometimes when I get so many skincare products I feel a little overwhelmed at where I should start. In this case I decided to start off gradually so I could make sure each product agreed with my skin. I decided to use them in the order that they were listed on the package insert. I started with the Gentle Soy Antioxidant Wash and the Double Action Sponge. This is a nice creamy cleanser that removes makeup and doesn’t leave my skin feeling dry. I really like the sponge because it is gentle on the skin, yet it adds a little bit of extra exfoliation when cleansing. I immediately started off using the Lip Firming Serum as well.  I have those ugly vertical lip lines and add products to help improve that area as soon as I get my hands on them. I’ve been using this serum in conjunction with a few beauty tools for that area.

These are the different creams that come in this kit. They come with a plastic spatula to scoop the product out of the jars.

These are the three different serums included in the starter kit. You can see in the photo below how nice and fluid they are. They absorb into my skin almost instantly. They’re not tacky and my skin feels quite smooth after application. I can immediately apply my makeup which is important to me since I always seem to be in a rush these days.

I added one product at a time into my skincare routine. It’s nice to have everything for a complete morning and evening routine within this 9 piece kit. I alternate the creams and moisturizers as I see fit for that particular day and it’s worked out well for me as some days my skin is drier than others.

Verdict:

The first thing that I must say is that there is little to no scent in all of the products. That’s a big winner for me as I’m highly sensitive to fragrances. Every one of the products absorbs easily into my skin. I can use several of the products under my makeup and they don’t interfere with the application. Overall I would say that my skin is looking pretty good. I can’t say that I’m looking more youthful yet, but it takes a greater amount of time to see the big changes that I desire. This was a great way to sample so many products from a single skincare line at one time. At just under $50, this kit is cost effective considering the fact that you get everything you need for about 30 days of skincare. I think all skincare lines should offer a starter kit like this.
