$68 Cream by Calecim - BETTER than Biologique Recherche & SkinMedica TNS

There is nothing like growth factors to calm my rosacea and take the red out of my skin *overnight*. I hope if you have this same issue as me that you’ll try it and let us know. I bought the multi action cream and have used it for two nights but last night I layered it with the sample of the night recovery and damn, I am sold.

The Calcim sample order ($68) arrived however the pink serum with the eye dropper isn't in there- I wrote the company an email to let them know it seemed that one was in the picture but not in the sample kit and how do I get that.

Hi Desi what an amazing discovery , you are the best 🙌🙌🙌 Cant wait to try it. And it saves money . You cant go wrong 😜 i am tired of pouring so much of iso placenta, and skin still not so happy 😳 Question what about their pigment solution? Does it gives glow? Can it replace BR creme pigm 400? Thank you and Have a blessed day🙏🧡

[@desistark]

Thank you!!! Yes, that’s exactly my thoughts. 💛💛💛 I have only tried the Pigment cream a few times and cannot testify to the effectiveness as I do not have that issue per se but it applies as a nice cream, sinks in immediately; it doesn’t give you the instant glow effect like the PIGM 400 does.

Hi Could you please be kind enough to find for me SDS ( safety data sheet) of this brand products.

[@desistark]

Hi! Per OSHA, in the USA, an SDS is only required if Hazardous Chemicals are present in a product or on the premises of any manufacturing facility. I’d be slightly concerned if there is an SDS or an MSDS for any Calecim product. If one exists, it should list all Calecim products as exclusions from the requirement.

@@desistark thanks for your reply. I’m not a USA citizen. I buy online and ship to MyUS box and from their to our country.

If you had to choose between spending your money on this brand or Auteur which would you choose? I am using samples of Auteur and was considering going all in but now that I have seen this video I am debating if I should give this company a chance. Thanks for all your wonderful videos ❤

[@desistark]

Amazing question!! Thank you for asking it!! After using both for over a year - best is to combine if you want the ultimate result. Best of both routines: from Auteur - Line Serum, Definitive Lift Cream, Lift Toner and add the Professional serum by Calecim. If you’re not using a separate retinoid, I’d add the Retinol Serum by Auteur. It’s amazing! This routine will change your skin in 6-8 months. 💛🌹🌹🌹

[@Tonyahill2017]

Thanks for the advice. I have been trying samples of the Auteur retinol and I love it. For a retinol it is so moisturizing which is something I have never heard of. Most of the time the retinols are very drying . I have tried the definitive line serum and the density cream and I can’t get them to work for me. They pill so bad on my face no matter how little I use. I was planning on purchasing the enzyme cleanser, toner, eye cream, retinol serum and the restoration cream and perhaps there oil spf and possibly the hyaluronic acid serum. They just informed me that come this Spring they are coming out with some new cleansers that remove makeup and sunscreen so I am over the moon for that.

[@dstark5943]

@@Tonyahill2017 You’ll love the Enzyme cleanser. The Line serum and Definitive cream have been reformulated recently so the texture especially on the cream is softer and doesn’t peel as much on me. It’s difficult to pack a product with 40 highly concentrated actives and be perfect. In any case, I only use Auteur at night so for me, it’s important that the products are effective as I’m not putting anything on top. 😄 Happy Holidays!!! 💛

Hi desi 🥰 i will try this cream i mean i will use anything you mentioned i'm here for that gow !!! Anyway i have a hard question do you think this brand is better than la prairie if you have to chooose only one 😜

[@desistark]

That’s a very smart question. Ideally you’d want to use them both as Calecim is a growth factor so it complements your regiment. But, if I really have to choose, based on the value and price, I’d go for Calecim, I can always get a less expansive moisturizer on top.
