Ice Elements Souffle By katwalker on Oct 08, 2007 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

Ice Elements Souffle is a facial lotion-type prodcut that contains some mix of either alpha or beta hydroxy acids to exfoliate dead skin cells, allowing one's face to have more even tone and look brighter. The kicker is that it does this job gently. I have very sensitive skin (rosacea, eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, etc.) and have never before been able to use an alpha or beta hydroxy acid product on face. This stuff, however, is amazing! The secret is supposedly that instead of hitting your face full-force, the AHA/BHAs are "slow-release," so it's more gentle.

Now, I couldn't just start using the Souffle every night of the week when I started. As recommended, I used it 3 times a week. After a month or so of good results, my skin was able to tolerate using it more often. Even so, I saw results very quickly. Due to my seb derm (even with using a prescription product to control it), my face gets flaky. The souffle has taken care of those flakes. Now, my face is smoother and brighter.

The less than absolutely wonderful ratings are only because this isn't exactly an anti-aging product. There's just not a "right" category for it. Also, the customer service for this line is absolutely the best and will help you tweak your cosmetics routine - even if you're using products from outside their line - to help you get the best results. Can you possibly ask for more than that?
