только что вернулась от косметолога, она работает на клеточной космецевтики GERnetic, Aurora, есть ли у Паулы отзывы по етой продукции? клиенты етого косметолога очень хвалят ету продукцию и реально я сама видела результат, как после процедур на етой косметике знакомая помолодела лет на 10, вот незнаю что и думать
конечно научится, куда она денется. Ну первое время могут быть проблемы. В общем с увлажнением не перебарщивайте в любом случае, тем более в жару, когда коже от собственного-то сала избавиться.
нет, такого нет. Сейчас зашла к ним на сайт -там составов не нашла, так что ничего сказать не могу
Так, Вера просила общеобзорное про Payot, Matis, LANCÔ ; ; ; ME, Caudalie, Shiseido.
1. Payot у неё нет, но я смотрела на это в магазине -там какие-то жуткие цены при абсолютно дешевых составах. Если очень надо -я посмотрю более подробно.
2. Тоже нет, и я не встречала нигде.
3. LANCОME, на всякий случай -это тот же Лореаль, но для понтанутых женщин. Составы практически одинаковые, только у ланкома баночки покрасивее и реклама другого уровня -такой маркетинговый ход. Не все знаете ли могут себе позволить покупать дешевую косметику, у кого-то рука не поднимется же
но тем не менее вот обзор:
Lancome At-A-Glance
Strengths: Some good cleansers; well-formulated scrubs; almost all of the sunscreens contain either avobenzone, ecamsule (Mexoryl SX), or titanium dioxide for sufficient UVA protection; large selection of self-tanning products; several excellent foundations with beautiful shades for almost every skin color; some great concealers; Lancome is known for their mostly outstanding mascaras; the Absolue powder; the liquid eyeliner; all of the powder eyeshadows; one fantastic lipstick and automatic lipliner.
Weaknesses: Expensive for what amounts to mostly mediocre to below-average products; no AHA or BHA products; no products to effectively treat blemishes or lighten skin discolorations; average toners; moisturizers that are short on including state-of-the-art ingredients; jar packaging; several foundations with sunscreen do not provide complete UVA protection; the pressed bronzing powder; average powder blush, eye pencils, and long-wearing lip color; none of the lipsticks with sunscreen include adequate UVA protection; relatively unimpressive makeup brushes.
French flair, free gifts with purchase, constant magazine ads, and attractive packaging impel women to seek out the Lancome counter. Once you’re there, though, unless you’re captured by the enticing claims, the skin-care products are resoundingly dull, and I mean really, really dull (the makeup is a different story). With new research and developments in skin care many cosmetics companies typically improve their formulas, even if just in a small way. That’s not the case with Lancome, which tends to raise their prices while producing lackluster, ordinary formulas with little benefit for skin.
Even more shocking is that their most expensive skin-care items tend to be the most disappointing, usually for what they lack rather than for what they contain. It’s startling to realize that their priciest moisturizer is remarkably similar to dozens of other Lancome creams priced more reasonably (but still too high when you consider what you’re getting for the money). It seems that all it takes to justify the excessive prices is a good story based around a rare ingredient and claims of delivering a younger look. What a shame so many consumers are taken in by this kind of marketing mumbo jumbo.
L’Oreal-owned Lancome, along with L’Oreal’s own skin-care products sold at the drugstore, has fallen well behind their competition. For all their lofty claims and beautiful models, many other companies leave them in the dust. Most of the Lauder companies (Clinique, Estee Lauder, Prescriptives), along with Dove, and Olay have skin-care formularies that consistently outperform those of Lancome and L’Oreal in terms of what substantiated research has shown is necessary to have healthy, more wrinkle- and age-resistant skin. Lancome claims to understand women, and they certainly know how to entice them with pretty packaging and scientific-sounding claims. It would be far better if they had an intimate understanding of what it really takes for skin to look its best and function optimally.
The biggest improvement Lancome has made is that almost all of their sunscreens now include the right UVA-protecting ingredients. Who knows why it took them so long to get this straightened out (L’Oreal is no stranger to this issue, as they have developed and patented new UVA filters throughout the years), but it is now easier than ever to find a reliable sunscreen from Lancome. Given their prominence and presence in department stores around the world, Lancome isn’t easy to ignore. My suggestion is to look beyond most of the skin care and focus on what they do best: makeup (especially foundations and mascaras).
Note: Unless mentioned otherwise, all Lancome products contain fragrance.

Lancome Makeup
L’Oreal-owned Lancome is a stellar, French-bred collection of makeup that remains the best reason to shop this line. Because most of Lancome’s skin-care products have problematic elements (be it jar packaging, insufficient sun protection, or dated formulas), it is a relief to find that, for the most part, the colorful side of their business has more than its share of innovative products. I enjoyed the fact that no matter where I shopped, Lancome’s counter personnel were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. There’s a lot to keep track of, and Lancome deserves credit for keeping their salespeople so well informed.
If you’re looking for a force to reckon with for foundations, Lancome is a must-see. They continue to offer some of the most elegant, silky formulas anywhere and in a color range that is overwhelmingly neutral, whether your skin is porcelain or ebony. The only troubling aspect is that most of Lancome’s foundations with sunscreen do not contain adequate UVA protection or the SPF rating is too low. Lancome obviously knows about the risks with these issues (after all, they market ecamsule, their version of the UVA-protecting ingredient Mexoryl SX, and brag about its UVA range). And considering that, I am not recommending as many of their foundations as I have in previous editions of this book. Beyond this major gripe, you will discover that Lancome has a well-deserved reputation for their fantastic mascaras, and that their latest powders and eyeshadows apply with a silkiness that makes them gratifying to work with. The rest of the makeup encompasses many valid choices, but before you commit to Lancome, consider the similar options available for less from sister companies L’Oreal and Maybelline New York. Striking a balance among the best of each of these lines will give you first-class makeup that beautifies without breaking the bank.

Caudalie Paris At-A-Glance
Strengths: Good cleansers; an excellent scrub for dry skin; air-tight packaging; a good lip balm and moisturizing mask; one truly state-of-the-art moisturizer for dry skin (one is better than none).
Weaknesses: Expensive; mundane to irritating serums, moisturizers, and eye creams; limited sun protection options; no AHA or BHA products; no products to lighten skin discolorations; several products contain irritating plant extracts.
Let me pour myself a glass of wine before I begin this review. Okay, now that I am adequately prepared I can, in effect, review this line without smirking. Why wine? Because Caudalie is a skin-care line whose ambience is intended to evoke the importance and value of grapes for your skin. Are you ready for this? Caudalie is in fact a term used in wine tasting; it is an actual measurement used to indicate how long the taste of a wine stays on your palate: 1 caudalie = 1 second. So, if you can still taste the wine in your mouth 1 second after swallowing it, that’s 1 caudalie; 2 seconds after swallowing, that’s 2 caudalie, and so on. And, supposedly, the more caudalie the wine has the more elegant and superior it is.
What does any of that have to do with skin care? From Caudalie Paris’s perspective, everything, because clearly they think the grape is the cornerstone for formulating any skin-care product. After reading their information you could easily assume that Welch’s Grape Juice could be used as a toner. But of course that’s not what Caudalie has in mind, because it’s their formulas they want you to count on, not Welch’s juice.
It turns out that grape extract, grape oil, and other parts of the grape do have mounting research proving that they do have benefit for skin when applied topically. Red grapes (stem, seed, pulp, and especially the skin) contain proanthocyanidin and resveratrol, naturally occurring compounds that are considered very potent antioxidants. There is also impressive research showing how helpful these compounds are for reducing the sun’s damaging effects, and that topical application plays a role in wound healing. (Sources: Photochemistry and Photobiology, March-April 2008, pages 415–421; Journal of Medicinal Food, December 2007, pages 636–642, and June 2007, pages 337–344; and Free Radical Biology and Medicine, October 2002, pages 1089–1092).
The research is significant, but (excuse me while I take another sip of wine) what’s ludicrous—and disappointing—about the Caudalie products is that most of them don’t contain a significant amount of grape extract, and resveratrol (the most potent compound in the grape) is entirely absent. Without question, Caudalie could have formulated products that included a larger amount of grapes and their beneficial compounds—at least it would have given more resonance to their story that the grapes in their products offer long-lasting antioxidant protection to every cell.
Getting back to the research on grapes, what’s important to keep in mind is that while grapes are a great source of antioxidant protection, there are also hundreds of other plant extracts, vitamins, and minerals with potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties. No single ingredient has achieved the coveted status of “best” when it comes to skin (or health) care. Almost all antioxidants appear to have some benefit for skin, and while some are indeed more stable or more potent than others, there is still no reason to get wrapped up in any single ingredient, any more than your diet should have only one food group for adequate nutrition. Plus, skin needs more than one single antioxidant; thinking otherwise is like believing you can subsist on drinking wine or eating grapes and nothing else. For skin, cell-communicating ingredients, skin-identical ingredients, sun protection, and exfoliants are all fundamental to superior skin care, yet in Caudalie’s narrow view, each comes up short.
Although almost all Caudalie products contain a small amount of grapes in one form or another, they don’t offer much else for skin, and several of their products contain irritating plant extracts that not only hurt skin but also work against the beneficial compounds from the grapes. In addition, no antioxidant stands much chance of helping skin if you’re not protecting your skin from sunlight.
As much as Caudalie would like you to believe that their botanical cocktails are the sought-after fountain of youth, for the most part, you’d be far better off spending your money on fresh grapes, grape juice, or a vintage bottle of Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon!

Shiseido хвалит и Паола и я, хотя там есть и косяки:
13 отличных продуктов
41 хороших
71 средних
57 плохих
у них хорошие тональники и пудры -с правильными фильтрами и хорошо ложатся, и они как раз годятся для нашей не очень желтой кожи.
Shiseido At-A-Glance
Strengths: Most of the sunscreens provide sufficient UVA protection and present a variety of options, whether you’re looking for titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, or avobenzone; a handful of good (but not great) moisturizers; an excellent sunscreen for lips; worthwhile oil-blotting papers; every foundation with sunscreen provides sufficient UVA protection (and there are some wonderful foundations here); pressed powder with sunscreen for oily skin; the unique Hydro Powder Eye Shadow; Perfecting Lipstick is one of the best creamy lipsticks at the department store; mostly good mascaras; all of the Veil products are worth considering.
Weaknesses: Expensive; several drying cleansers; boring toners; a few sunscreens offer insufficient UVA protection; no AHA or BHA products; no products to effectively manage acne; no reliable skin-lightening options despite a preponderance of products claiming to do just that; irritating self-tanners; gimmicky masks; jar packaging; uneven assortment of concealers (and some terrible colors); the eyeshadow quads; average to disappointing eye and brow shapers; average makeup brushes.
Shiseido is one of the largest cosmetic companies in Japan, and the founder wants consumers worldwide to know that the brand he began is meant for all who seek beauty. Oddly enough, Shiseido (pronounced “she-say-doe”), whose products have a distinctly Japanese appearance and appeal, began in 1872 as Japan’s first Western-style pharmacy. Its products have been sold in the United States for over 40 years, and it has become a nearly overwhelming product line. It now boasts about its “total approach to beauty and health, ” so I was hoping the majority of products had seen some positive updates since I last reviewed this entire line. No such luck. Although there are some respectable products, Shiseido’s skin-care collection is far from a total approach to anything, unless your skin-care mantra is “it has to be average yet needlessly expensive and the routine has to include more products than any other line recommends.”
A total approach to health and beauty would take into account all that has been learned to date about how skin functions, how it can repair itself, how it ages, and what it realistically takes for it to look, feel, and function at its best. Such an approach does not, however, involve cleansers with alkaline ingredients that cause skin to be unnecessarily dry, lackluster toners, or far too many products with alcohol; that can only harm the skin, which isn’t beautiful in the least.
Shiseido doesn’t have the issue of sun protection down yet, as witness a few of their sunscreens that still lack sufficient UVA protection—even though they participate in Japan’s UVA-based PA rating system (explained in the Sun Products reviews below). And when it comes to state-of-the art essentials such as antioxidants, cell-communicating ingredients, and substances that reinforce the structure of healthy skin, Shiseido typically comes up short. You’ll hear (and read) much talk about the company’s exclusive technologies, but terms like Bio-Regenerine, Phyto-Capsule Emulsification, Optimal Balance Network, and Deacti-Complex are meaningless without significant, proven ingredients to support each technology’s alleged function. I’m sure they are intended to make the products seem more advanced and special to consumers, but the proof is in the ingredient lists, and very few of Shiseido’s lists fall under the category of impressive.
If anything, the numerous skin-care options presented here are merely average or really disappointing. Many of the moisturizers have luscious textures, but again, it takes more than a sensational feel to create exceptional products that have your skin’s best interest (and best appearance) in mind.
One point of difference with this line is that Shiseido insists on regular facial massage. That means you’ll find several facial massage creams, although most of them have traditional moisturizer formularies that differ little from what’s seen throughout the lineup. Shiseido maintains that routine facial massage creates firmer skin that’s less prone to sagging because the massage action tones the muscles, but that simply isn’t true. The muscles of the face are among the most frequently used. Repetitive muscle movements are a prime cause of expression lines around the eyes, mouth, and on the forehead. Botox has become such a popular procedure because it selectively prevents these muscles from working, which smoothes creases and lines. Massage alone cannot do that; if anything, routine facial massage can encourage lines and sagging by stretching the skin. Furthermore, when skin slackens and sags, it involves more than just the muscles. Sun damage plays a role in collagen and elastin destruction, as does gravity, which causes fat pads beneath the skin to slip. And then there’s bone loss, and the fact that, as we age, skin continues to grow (yet has less to hold on to). Massage to repair sun damage—give me a break!

Shiseido Makeup
Although Shiseido is known more for their seemingly endless array of skin-care products, their makeup, while not without its problem-child products, is clearly not just an afterthought. Before I discuss what’s outstanding, I want to address the company’s claim for every makeup product featuring “Advanced Luminous Technology, and Multi-Nutrient Factor” along with “Color Fidelity.” The only part of that trio that’s true is the Color Fidelity, which Shiseido refers to as “the color you see is the color you wear.” That’s true for their lipsticks and glosses, but not for most of the foundations, some of whose shades appear too peach or pink but become softer or neutral once they set. The Advanced Luminous Technology refers to specially treated pigments, a practice that is not inherently luminous (many of the complexion-enhancing products have a strong matte finish), but that also is not unique to Shiseido. If anything, advances in pigment technology, in all their variants, have become the norm for most major (and many minor) makeup lines. The Multi-Nutrient claim is Shiseido’s attempt to convince consumers that their makeup conveys unique skin-care benefits, but with the exception of effective sunscreens (a positive but not original attribute) it’s bogus. A few bells and whistles do show up in select products, yet not in amounts that will provide benefit to your skin.
The main and most impressive part of the color collection is the foundations. For the most part they have silky textures, and every one of them provides adequate sun protection (at least an SPF 15 with UVA-protecting ingredients) Shiseido deserves recognition for improving their foundation shades, too—there are fewer to avoid than in any previous edition of this book. If you’re keen on shopping this line you should also pay attention to their Perfecting Lipstick, lip gloss, the mascaras (all are waterproof but without the drying solvents often used to keep mascara from breaking down when lashes get wet), and some distinctive specialty products. Items to avoid entirely include the eye and brow pencils and a couple of the eyeshadows; the makeup brushes are serviceable, but pale in comparison to what makeup artist–backed lines offer. Ignore the inflated claims that accompany many of Shiseido’s makeup products, but don’t ignore the best of what they have to offer—because in that regard, they’re better than ever!
В этом и состоит зазвоздка: как только наступает такая жара, что ничем мазаться неохота, - время пользоваться солнцезащитным кремом - а туит уже от влаги и жира никуда не денешься ((
ну я так поняла, что вы его уже купили и он вам понравился?
мне в этом составе нравится абсолютно правильная форма витамина С (правильный с точки зрения кожи и концентрации)!
Я давно уже не могла найти крема с такой формой С.
Жаль, не указана концентрация кислот в нём -гликолевой и салицилки, и рН (он на вкус кислый?) но судя по позиции - гликолевая должна быть в нормальной требуемой концентрации.
Хороший состав, Паола бы придралась к отдушкам, конечно.
На вкус попробую. Как-то не додумалась.
Этот крем есть в двух объемах. 50 мл. стоят почти 3000 руб, 15 мл - 1000 руб.
Я для начала купила 15 мл на пробу. Расходуется экономно. Возможно, мне хватит на весь курс, который рекомендует производитель.
У этого же производителя есть целая серия кремов с витамином С. Скорее всего - с той же формой. И цены у этой серии адекватные.
Aurura что думаете об этих средствах, это состав продукции Gernetik, написала то что указано на баночках: (т.к указано ооочень мелкими буковками в некоторых местах будут пропуски или возможно неправильно чтото могу указань (разобрать написанное точно, не могу)
крем:
пчелиный воск, масло сладкого миндаля, стеаратгликольSE, экстрат зверобоя, цетвариплектонбат, масло календулы, деципенват ароматизатор, эфирпарагидроксибензоата (изебутил, бутил, препил, натил, этил)........, гидролезированный молочный протеинбутиленгликоль, пиридоксина гидрохлоаид, этиксидиглецель, сорбитансасквиолват, церезин, БГТ
Аврора, здравствуйте! Во-первых, огромное Вам спасибо за тему.
У меня к Вам вопрос. Я купила крем фирмы Faberlic. Крем стоил очень дёшево. Так вот у меня к Вам просьба, не могли бы Вы заценить состав этого крема.
Aqua, Ethylhexyl, Palmitate, Cyclomethicone, Glycerin, Caprycil/Capril Triglyceride, Cetearyl alcohol, Glycerin stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Sorbitol, PEG-20 Stearate, Dimethicone, Isopropyl myristate, Polyacrymide, Phenoxyethanol, C13-C14 Isoparaffin, Imidazolidinyl urea, Tocopheryl acetate, Disodium edta, Citric acid, Laureth-7, Perfluorodecalin, Carica papaya (papaya) fruit extract, Mangifera indica (mango) juice, Polohamer 188, Panthenol, Perfluoropolymethylisopropyl ether, Sodium dextran sulfate, Trideceth-9, Methylparaben, Bisabolol, Fragrance, Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, Isobutylparaben.
Эта фирма рекпамирует себя как кислородная косметика, гипоаллергенная. И ещё мне сказали, что этот крем защищает от солнечных лучей.
Кожа у меня комбинированная.
да обычный увлажняющий крем.
Не знаю, что фаберлик рассказывают про аллергию -но в составе столько компонентов, что никто бы не стал гарантировать, что не может возникнуть аллергия хотя бы на один из них.
Меня вообще немного удивляет этот ход про косметику с кислородом. Кислород -основной источник свободных радикалов. Сейчас все кричат про антиоксиданты, в самом слове анти-ОКСИД -то есть антикислород... а тут вроде как наоборот всё?
Вот такие чудеса запудривания мозгов потребителю.
Кстати, прочитала состав несколько раз -и где там этот пресловутый кислород -в какой он там форме? Может они узнали случайно, что кислород входит в состав воды и решили воспользоваться этим как рекламной информацией?
так. У нас тут есть уже список лучших ретиноидов и лучших сывороток, что там дальше?
вы бы название говорили -может у Паолы есть описание самого продукта.
я не очень врубаюсь в наличие в составе -LENTINUS EDODES -это ж гриб шиитаке, судя по словарю. Они там в каком виде -эти грибы? В вареном? И для чего они там?
ETHYLHEXYL COCOATE -эмолент, вроде бы неопасен.
далее идут не самые дорогие увлажняющие компоненты.
потом -разные консерванты и компоненты, необходимые для химической стабильности.
ничего криминального не вижу в креме, всё обычно.
Связывать компоненты уметь совсем необязательно -достаточно и правда посмотреть в энциклопедии или каталоге -причем самые первые пункты -и станет всё ясно. Думаю -есть и русскоязычные справочники.
