Product Description
skyn Iceland 5 Day Detox Kit for Stressed Skin
YOU KNOW YOU'VE GOT IT.
YOU KNOW HOW IT FEELS.
BUT DO YOU KNOW WHAT STRESS IS DOING TO YOUR SKIN?
Stress deprives skin of nutrients, moisture and oxygen. And when skin is starved, it's less supple, drier, more prone to irritation, inflammation and premature aging. The 5 Day Detox Kit gives stressed skin a fighting chance. Over the course of five days, these four products work in harmony to help heal exhausted, irritated and depleted skin so it emerges soft, clear, fresh and glowing.
Kit Includes:
Arctic Face Mist with Biospheric Complex
Oxygen Infusion Night Cream with Biospheric Complex
the ANTIDOTE Quenching Daily Lotion with Biospheric Complex
Glacial Face Wash with Biospheric Complex

 NOT for those on retinoids! January 27, 2008
The Taminator (The People's Republic of Indiana)
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
The sales rep for this line engaged me while I was at Sephora yesterday and began telling me about them. This was someone who worked for the company, not Sephora. She was extremely helpful, knowing which products I should try, and asked me what I was currently using on my face. I told her I was using Tazorac, and she told me that this line was good for soothing red, irritated skin not only from retinoids but from plastic surgery. I allowed her to spritz my face with the Arctic Face Mist, as well as apply a little cream on my neck. The products were very cooling, felt very soothing and on the spot I bought a full size Mist, along with the 5 day detox kit. The rep provided me with some literature about the line & gave me a sample of eye cream.
I wish I could say the rest of my experience was this pleasant. I did not appreciate the rep's over-the-top theatrics when I told her I was using Neutrogena soap to wash my face at night. It's one thing to say, "X could be causing some of your irritation. Let me tell you about how soothing our cleanser is." It's something else to stumble backward with your hand over your mouth as though I had just confessed to having kidnapped the Lindhberg baby. Further, saying that my peeling and irritation is the result of the Neutrogena soap is an outright lie, especially considering she knew that I was using Tazorac. She also acted like she had never heard of Lauder's Advanced Night Repair. I find it difficult to believe that she had never heard of the product considering she is in the skincare industry. Also, when I got home I couldn't find any testimonials online about people using this after plastic surgery or peels, not even on their own website.
As skeptical as I now was, I took the rep's actions as typical sales antics, and I went ahead with my purchase because the toner had been so soothing. When she spritzed my face at the store, I had on a layer of makeup, a layer of primer, another layer of moisturizer, and my customary afternoon layer of oil from my own skin. It felt so good that I never stopped to think about the barrier on my skin before I bought the products. Using them at home after removing the makeup, oil et cetera was a completely different experience. The cleanser did not even begin to remove makeup. When my skin was clean, and I sprayed on that toner, it might as well have been battery acid. I yelped and began fanning my face. Thinking my problem was the toner & possible alcohol, I used the night cream to get relief, but that only made it worse.
I didn't know how to get the stuff off. My face felt like it was on fire at this point and everything was irritating it. The best I could do was rinse several times with cool water. I now have a 3 by 4 inch pink burn on the left side of my neck just beneath the jawline, and a 1 by 2 ½ inch pink burn on the top part of my right cheek. As a bonus, the cheek area was the exact area where I wanted to reduce redness. I know from experience that my skin will take 2 or 3 weeks to heal from this disaster. In the meantime I get to go to meetings with clients, corporate officers and attorneys (seeing the attorneys is related to my business, not this incident), and it's impossible to cover this with makeup and make it passable. Even more demoralizing is that I have all of this new makeup I've bought that I won't be able to use for a month because of this.
Needless to say this is going back to Sephora when I go out tomorrow. For someone not on a retinoid, judging from the reviews this could be a very good product. For those who are, steer clear of this stuff or at least do a patch test on BARE skin before you decide to put it on all over like I did. I feel completely flim-flamed and will never purchase anything from this line again.
 Great gift ! ! January 16, 2008

Was at Sephora this year looking for a Christmas gift for my mom. They recommended Skyn Iceland, and said the 5 Day Detox Kit Would be a good thing for my mom (who is a "always on the go realtor"). My mom absolutely loved the kit! She loved how all the items in the kit left her skin with a "cool tingling feeling", it also helped her relax at the end of the day. Would recommend this product to any one loves skin care and trying new things.
