Kudos
to all at Sage for an incredible product and amazing service.
Barbara
has a wonderful gift and I'm so glad she has used it to it
fullest potential!
Sage has changed my life. It's easier to look people in the eye
now. I
don't brush my hair toward the sides of my face to hide
"big mothers." I
don't get up before everyone else to put on my makeup. I can
exercise
without make-up. I don't HAVE to wear foundation! I went
swimming for the
first time in 12 years a few weeks ago. My boyfriend is amazed
at the
difference in my skin. What's most shocking is that I have
suffered for more
than a decade with acne and it only took Sage about a month to
bring me back
to peaches and cream...something that I thought I would never
have again. My
pores even look smaller.
I am 28-years-old and have suffered from acne since my late
teens. Like so
many of your clients, I have tried it all. I tried Accutane,
Retin-A,
Differin, Antibiotics and Persa-Gel. All my purchases were
geared toward
finding the right foundation to hide my blemishes. I worked for
Estee Lauder
Corp for a few years and thought that I would get the inside
scoop on fixing
this problem...no luck. Aveda, Origins, Estee Lauder, Clinique,
Lancome,
Dermatologica, Neutrogena, Oxy, Cetaphil, Prescriptives, Clarins,
ProActiv,
Murad, Kiehls...no luck with my skin. I was losing hope. That's
when I
discovered Sage by way of Heather Kleinman's Cosmetic Site.
There just
seemed to be something a little different about this one. I was
also
impressed that one of the CEOs suffered from genetic acne and
her skin looked
beautiful from using Sage.
The burden of bad skin has been lifted. I feel like I'm not
distracted
anymore by this problem. There's a wonderful sense of freedom.
Again, thank you for Sage Skincare. You have yet another loyal
customer.
It's exhilarating to dump bins of old cosmetics and skincare
into the garbage
knowing that I now only need a few things from Sage to take care
of my skin
and to dress it up with make-up on special occasions.

I
have been using the sage products since the first part of
February. I am really
glad that I have continued using them up to this point. My skin
feels fantastic. There was a time not
too long ago when i could run my hands over my face and feel
several "bumps" under the skin. Not to mention the
contstant breakouts. Now, I usually only get the "tom"
breakouts, and an
Occasional
zit. And to think, I don't even use any of the
"specialty" products: ahp, smoothing cream/gel, etc. I
only use the grains, poo, mssr 2%, SPF 25, and when needed, the
mz w/sulphur. I cannot believe the difference in my skin in the
last few months. I have also cut out most of the iodine, red
dyes, (cranberry juice,) etc. I try to only buy "sage
safe" items no matter what it is. Barbara is definitely
right about the things that can cause acne in people's skin. I
have started my son on the basic items just recently and I can
see a slight improvement in his skin in just the past week. Of
course, he is dipping into my supplies . . . He has the same
skin problems that I described in the previous paragraph. I am
hoping that it works as well for him as it does for me. But I
will have to make sure that he sticks to the routine as I have.
We all know that kids can get a little slack, for lack of a
better word. In summary, I am very happy with this line of skin
care. The customer service and the speediness of the deliveries
have amazed me, to say the least!!! I simply cannot believe how
fast I have received items that I have ordered via the website.
God bless everyone at sage skincare, and keep up the good
work!!! Thanks to Barbara (and all the rest of you) for all the
help you have given me on this forum. Now, all I have to do is
figure out
How
to keep paying for these products!!!
God bless you.

Hi Barbara,
“… I will
always say that Barbara did WONDERS for my life and me. I was on
accutane at the time, breaking out like crazy and SO self
conscious so she did wonders for my self-esteem as well as for
my face. She truly is amazing!”

“I only
started using Sage the end of January, and my skin looks and
feels wonderful…and gets better each week! After my second AHP,
I thought my skin looked as good as it did after a full TCA peel
from the dermatologist last year. Without the pain, and 10 day
recovery!! Thank you.”

“First of
all, I’d like to thank you for deciding to go into this line
of work. I will someday write a lengthy testimonial, but every
time I try I go off on a tangent as to how it changed my life in
this way or that way, and how I could go swimming now w/o a 2nd
thought about some zit that will be revealed (I won’t, because
I’m lazy, but I could), how I can wash my face in front
of my boyfriend, how I can use makeup for fun rather than
restoration, how I can get a haircut w/o worrying that the
shampoo-er is going to mess-up my carefully-concealed forehead,
all sorts of little things that I don’t worry about anymore.
Its so
funny because I take it for granted, which is such a luxury. Now
& then I get silly and take chances w/ makeup and remember
quickly that I was not born w/ clear skin, and I straighten up,
throw out the new powder & in a few days I’m clear again.
Which is another thing I am grateful for – the education you
provide – I used to believe that w/ the right acne-fighting
products I simply wouldn’t break out, no matter what cosmetics
I used, now I know better, and I think that is half the battle.
I began using
Sage a year ago after an unsuccessful stint with Retina Micro. I
had just discontinued using an awful moisturizer that the derm
had recommended when I went in for my Retina, and by the time I
rec’d my try-me pack my skin was actually clearing in
comparison to the previous months, so I emailed you to find out
if I could incorporate the Retina into my Sage routine. I have
to admit that at the time I had little faith that an obscure
product I found on the Internet would work better than a
prescription product. You responded w/ how I could use Retina w/
Sage but asked that I use only Sage for a short time so that if
I were having problems you would be able to help me better.
Anyway, the Retina is still in the fridge, untouched.
I have
never before been able to use a moisturizer of any kind w/o
breaking out (which is a shame because w/ all the savage zit
products I was using, I really could have used it) Gelloid &
OLC were really the items I found most frightening, and I have
used them for over a year w/o no problems at all. I also just
got the MSSR mask I am enjoying it as well. Miracle Zit works
wonderfully and does not irritate my skin in the least, I love
the Bio Mask and the Bio Mask w/ BHA even more. The AHP makes me
look like a 28-year-old newborn. Something, and I don’t know
what it is, has nearly eliminated all those wormy-things on and
around my nose!? Who knew? I just wanted something to get rid of
the ones I can see, so that was like getting a free gift w/
purchase, and don’t get me started on all the generous samples
I’ve rec’d.”

in love with your products!!”

“I ordered
your 4% MSSR…it’s made my oily, mildly-acned skin look
incredible…this is the first skin product that I have 100%
wholeheartedly recommended to others!”

“I’ve been
on every medication under the sun for the past 6 years and
I’ve given up on dermatologists! I’ve gotten better
information from your site than anywhere else- THANK YOU!!!

“A few weeks
ago, a friend sent me a few of your products to try. I want to
tell you, I have never been in love with a skincare line before
and it has happened with Sage! My skin looks and feels smoother
and healthier after just these past two weeks! I am so very
anxious to try more of your products in the future. I’ve been
to so many dermatologists in my life and I’m finally confident
with my skincare regimen. Thank you so much for your
products

I
just wanted to take the time out to say THANK YOU.
I
have spent several thousands of dollars over the last 5 years
trying many different product lines from over the counter (clearasil,
oxy, neutrogena)to very expensive (origins, prescriptives, aveda,
helena rubinstein, lancome, mario badescu, la prairie),
dermatologist prescriptions (retin-a, cleocin, differin,
tetracycline, teromycin), t.v. advertisements (proactive, murad)
etc...those are just to name a few!!!!! and nothing has ever
worked. I don't
know why your product works so well on my skin. but it has
cleared up tremendously and the tone looks great.
my roommates compliment me everyday on how great my skin
is starting to look great and i have only been using your
products for 3 weeks now. so
thank you, and fingers crossed that it stays this way!
YeonMi
I'm
so please with my Sage experience.
I'll admit that at first, I was wondering "hm, can I
spend this much on skincare", and then realized with all
the stuff I kept buying and not liking or not getting a good
result from, I was spending far more than I would with a solid
brand I liked! I'm
glad you offer the "Try-Me" Packs because I don't
think I would have purchased full sizes off the bat.
Plus, hello, THANK YOU for giving out such great generous
samples, I already want to buy like 5 more things just because I
loved the samples.

I
just wanted to say thank you!!
I have had problems with acne since I first became a
teenager (I am now 31 years old).
I have tried every potion and skin care line on the
market, just to attempt to control my acne.
I have never found anything that works as well as your
products do. I am
almost 6 months pregnant and my skin looks great!!
With all the increased hormones, etc., I fully expected
my face to look terrible during my pregnancy.
I love the way my skin looks and feels.
Your products are amazing.
They really work!! I
can't thank you enough! Thanks
again for creating such a great product line!

I just wanted to say thank you!! I have been using Sage for around 8 years. I started using it when
everything else had pretty much failed me in getting my skin clear to my
satisfaction. Over the years I have been pretty much faithful, although
there were a couple of times curiosity got the better of me and I tried
another line only to find that it was not Sage, nor was it close to it.
Now I'm not saying that other skincare lines out there aren't good, I
understand that everyone's skin is different and what works for one
person might not work the same way that it works for another.
I recently started having troubles with my skin again. I got tired of
using the Miracle zit mostly because I have a 2 year old daughter that
sometimes wakes up in the middle of the night to come sleep in our bed
and her face sometimes touches mine and I didn't want to irritate her
skin with the benzoyl peroxide. I found that if I didn't add MZ to my
regimen it wasn't a big deal. I didn't break out at all and I
mistakenly thought I no longer needed it. About 3 1/2 months later I
started breaking out on my chin and upper lip. I tried to control it
and became impatient that it wasn't clearing up quickly like it had in
the past. My impatience led me to another skincare line.
I used that line for about 4 weeks, the time allotment for it to work.
Well, all I got was more pimples and I found myself just about every day
longing to go back to Sage, skincare that I know works for me. But I
had to give it the full 4 weeks to make sure it wasn't just doing the
purging thing that they say it's supposed to do. When I did go back to
Sage, I found myself talking to my skincare - saying "Hello old friend".
It has taken less than a week and I see a major improvement in my skin.
It is clearing up and the marks are slowly disappearing. The key to
this recovery - and the one thing that the other skin care made me
realize - was to simplify. I had gotten to the point in my Sage use
that I had added more steps than was needed and used more MZ than I
needed to. I was also using stronger strengths than my face now needed
and that contributed to the condition my skin was in when I decided to
try the new skin care. When I went back to using Sage, I had to
remember where I started and what worked for me. When I did that, my
skin started to improve and react the way I wanted it to. I still use
MZ, but just a smaller amount that actually dries on my skin and doesn't
stick to my hair or pillowcase.
I wrote this lengthy post in hopes that it will help anyone who might
feel that Sage is not as successful with their skin as it once was. If
it takes trying a new skin care line to satisfy your curiosity, than
that might be what it takes for you to put your whole heart into your
Sage routine. The most important thing to remember is that you know
your skin the best, and when all else fails, simplify. Exfoliate,
cleanse, treatment, moisturize - and always use SPF.
A true Sage believer, JO

Hi Barbara,
Happy New Year!
You haven't heard a peep from me because I've been soooooo happy with my
products. The Basic regime with the Fix Zit (and alternating Retin-A) has
completely restored my skin. It hasn't looked this good since my twenties,
and it looks pretty darn good! (I'm 43,
btw.)
I've made it through the last two periods without ONE hormonal zit. I cannot
believe it.
The cold water in Maryland is cold enough to not even ice. Ice water comes
from the tap!
After years of money and time at the dermatologist, I am one grateful, happy
camper. May the new year bring you all of your biggest wishes--one of mine
has come true with a bang!
Gratefully, Alison
