Vickie: keep us posted on how it does for you.
The older lady gave me a call. On the sheet to win a raffle prize, I was hesitant to out down my phone number, but they said they wouldn’t call to sell me anything just to inform me if I won. I took down their e-mail and web addresses in case I was interested. I told her that my skin seemed to bunch up after a couple of hours then by the end of the day, there was no difference between the treated side and the untreated side. She said for some people it takes a few times. I said no thanks, I was not interested. Then she wanted to sell me their skin products line. I said no thank you that I was just starting a new regime with Genoma and would stick with that. Then she tried to talk me into selling the products. Why would I want to sell products that don’t work on me? I would rather promote Genoma for free. |

Well that's a blatant lie eh?  Some salesmen (and women) will tell you anything just to get hold of your details.... Some of them even have competitions that are "never won" just to get that all important list for potential sales...  |

Let's see... For those who had issues, I have a few possible reasons why! 1) You can open any of the bottles by twisting the gray neck at the top of the bottle, making it easier to transfer to other bottles, for air travel, for instance. 2) Sediment had gathered on the bottom of my toner bottle. I simply shook well and it hasn't settled again (with daily use). If the base of the sprayer tube was in the same location as the sediment, then you may get issues with it not being able to spray properly. Just shake or check the bottom of your bottle for a brown spot. 3) My face cream started "farting" today  The cream is thick enough that I've encountered an air pocket. I've tapped the bottle on a hard surface to move the air pocket. My skin is very sensitive and I've been happy with the results thus far. I may need to stop using the toner or may need additional moisture support because my face is so sensitive. I love how the bottles are all designed to minimize bacterial contamination! |

Hi Red,
I am going to butt in here and give my 2 cents, for what it is worth.
I am a paramedical aesthetician, been one since 1986. I have my own skin care clinic here in Arizona and I have personally tried that NuSkin Galvanic Spa system and was not impressed. It is nothing but multi-level marketing. The sales people know NOTHING, they aren't even required to be licensed to sell it. The sales people are programmed to tell you what it does, but if you ask them something about the skin, they know diddly. To me that is like trying to sell cars when you don't even know how to drive. Don't get me wrong, it will work if you are willing to go through the routine of using it daily. The results just are not all that impressive, IMO. It's another device that women will buy use a couple of times and toss it in a drawer because it is a bother to have to do it daily. We will see them at garage sales here in a few years. ha ha ha
Skin care products and devices are the marketing schemes of the millenium. Just watch some late night TV or Sunday mornings all kinds of skin care and devices are being sold on infomercials and now MLM's. Most of it is JUNK and sadly people buy it.
It also sounds like this woman was trying hard to sell this device by telling you look older than you are. Did you ask her to guess your age? I am assuming not. I am sure her sales tactic works on alot of women, otherwise she wouldn't say something like that or she is hard up for a sale.
First off know this, she wasn't any type of "real skin care professional" aesthetician, paramedical aesthetician or dermatologist and only a professional, one that sees and treats skin all day long could really give you a worthwhile opinion. I really hate it when my patients ask me what I think of their skin. The reason is because I won't lie to them. For the most part, women don't come through my door until it is time for damage control. Most women don't think about taking care of their skin until they see the wrinkles coming on. I have a handful that come to me to maintain their skin that have taken care of and they look great.
Butting in again. IMO you really should wear sunscreen on your face. The number one way to fight premature aging is sunscreen. I understand that you want and need the Vit D, I hear ya and I am with ya on that. Put sunscreen on your face. Take off your mittens or roll up your sleeves when you are outside. If you don't care about aging prematurely, or getting hyperpigmentation (commonly known as liver spots, or age spots or darker areas of the skin) then don't wear the sunscreen.
On a lighter note. I got some samples of the Genoma Skin Care at the conference yesterday. I am excited to try it. I love the products I carry in my clinic with the exception of my natural marine line. I need to replace it with something good. I am boxing the marine line up this week and dropping it at the womans shelter, it will be a treat for them.

Thanks frosty. I bet a lot of women do get pulled in by that line. How many of us have gadgets that sounded great at the time, but were just too much bother. I know I do. I’m glad I didn’t get suckered in this time.
Dropping things off at a women’s shelter sounds like a great idea. I bet they’ll love it. |

OMG Vicki!!! Yes the infamous epilator, aka epilady and many other names.
I was dumb enough to fall for that one. Of all people, ME! I should have known better! The biggest red flag that it was junk was the "it's painless" statement. Painless my butt! It hurt like heck!! And as well it should, it is pulling your hair out, there is nothing painless about that.

I have never bought skin creame, but I bought the Genoma. I love it. I really like the smell when I apply the night creame, it is very calming. I like the pump bottles it helps me not to waste a drop or over use it. Now I have to sell enough stuff on ebay to buy more once it runs out.  Thanks Martha, for working on this product. I know it took years to develop.  |

At the beginning of December my hands did what they always do every winter. The knuckles and finger joints crack and bleed. My hands look like alligator hands. I should buy stock in hand cream.
I got the Genoma night cream on December 24, 2008. I had been using the day cream, but only on my face. I decided to put a dab on my hands at night and in the morning. It is now the middle of January and I do not have cracked hands. I still use hand cream during the day to supplement. We’ve had a very rough winter. I’m impressed. |

I love the cleanser! It has my favorite scent of all the line, and gets my skin truly clean without drying it out at all. (Usually I have to put on moisturizer after using a cleanser, even though my skin is somewhat oily, but that's not necessary with this cleanser. It's nice to add the moisturizer after, but I don't suffer if I skip it.) I really was happy with the products I was using before Genoma, but I won't be going back to them. All I need now is a Genoma Shampoo and Conditioner  Oh, and since this might be a good place to ask, I furrow my brow when I sleep and am developing wrinkles between my eyebrows. Are Frownies worth it (the stickers that you stick on your face), or is there a better solution? I've heard scotch tape might work just as well. |

Aan, I do get air pockets (farting  ) when dispensing the night creme. I simply tap the product to move the air pocket if it persists. Sold by weight not volume, so you aren't missing any product  |

Yes Aani, mine is not coming out. When I looked inside, the straw came loose from the top. So I tried using some tweezers to fish it out but couldn't. Now I have the bottle up side down. That seems to work. |

I've done that too. I don't think there is a straw in there. I hate to have to tap it out. I like the little bit that comes out with the pump. The more you use it the less you have to use...Aani |

I have to bring this thread up again. There are no words that I can say to tell you how pleased I am with this product. After using it for several months my skin feels so good, so very soft. Very few pimples (even at my age I would get some nasty ones). My pores are so much smaller and cleaner ( I had very large and dirty pores ). Yes I still have my wrinkles but at my age, so what? Maybe this stuff will slow them down...Aani |
