The first time I tried Crystalift, I wasn't blown away -- I felt like my skin was being sandblasted!!! I saw the demonstration video of the lovely models enjoying the "gentle and painless" Crystalift process ... lies!! But, results don't lie, and after using it just twice, my skin looked great! The biggest difference was my boyfriend's skin. He has large pores and very uneven coloration. After two treatments, his skin looked noticeably better! The best part was how easy the whole system was to set up and use; there is no assembly, and it stores easily. If you have ever paid for a microdermabrasion treatment at your dermatologist's office, you know how pricey a single session can be. Crystalift's whole system including your first four treatments is just $199, plus shipping and handling and takes only a few minutes. I really do think this is a great option for someone who doesn't want to spend a small fortune and their free time at the dermatologist's office for something you can do at home.
