In Focus: Algenist

I went behind the scenes with Tammy Yaiser, VP of Product at Algenist, to get the lowdown on their groundbreaking skincare technology and to get the deets on their new 10 day challenge!

I've been impressed with the Algenist items I've tried, especially the Multi-Perfecting Pore Corrector Gel Moisturizer. The Algenist 10 Day Challenge sounds interesting!

The 10 Day Challenge sounds fun! Its interesting to read more about the scientific properties behind a product. To be honest, the one thing that stuck out of that whole segment, was the Algae Ice Cream 😉 I had some Blue-Green Algae & Coconut water, so I'm interested in trying out their creation!

I'd like to try that 10 day challenge too!

The Retinol F&L serum has literally changed my skin- so much smoother and my complexion looks a ton better under my foundation. I can only imagine how much better it will get after a few more weeks. 🙂

While I haven't tried the ice cream, the recent visit from the trainers gave us algae cookies! And they were DELICIOUS!

I find this statement interesting: "Further, the retinol ingredient in our formulation is microencapsulated and time-released for maximum benefits with no downside" (emphasis mine). I absolutely, positively cannot use retinol or any derivative thereof without a very unpleasant reaction. It's too bad Candace didn't ask how they tested their product to arrive at a "no downside" conclusion. That's a rather bold statement to make.

The eye cream is amazing. It took one day for me to see a significant difference, and a little goes a long way.

@mnda Was it the Firming & Lifting Eye Gel you tried or the Complete Eye Renewal Balm?

I am head over heels about Algenist products. Each new product they introduce is somehow better than the last and I think I've bought everything they have put out. Here's an idea, have an Algenist day (maybe a Sunday morning an hour before you open for the snacks) for VIBs and let us try some of that ice cream (cookies too)!

And how about a goodie bag (2 week samples of 3 or 4 products we get to pick) with purchase of a full sized product (at least $75).

I ❤️ the Eye Renewal Balm. Looking forward to trying the Retinol F&L Serum

I was all excited to try this until I saw that it contains whey protein. Dairy makes me break out. Does whey protein applied topically have the same pimple inducing effects as ingesting it does?

I am looking forward to this new challenge. With my skin changing everyday, I look forward to something new and exciting.

I just started my 10day challenge last night, can't wait to see if it lives up to how it is described! I got a second set with the last order I put in as well 🙂

@consolvo, it was the Complete Eye Renewal balm. I'm still using the tub I bought of it 8 months ago and I use it twice a day. Sorry for the delayed response!

Thank you, mnda! Amazingly, I'm still in search of my next eye cream. 🙂 I'll check it out.

I get allergic reactions to algenist products. My eyes swell shut. 😞

I switched over to mostly Algenist products right after Christmas, and I love them!! I have noticed a huge difference in my skin, including wrinkles. I have oily, sensitive skin, and nothing I have used has irritated my skin, made me break out, or increased oiliness. I got a deluxe sample of the retinol serum and it does not seem harsh or irritating. Love it all!
