My name is Sinead. I am 25 years old and I live in Ireland.  I have had facial acne (mostly around the jawline)for about five years now. I never really had it in my teens. I tried everything, antibiotics, creams etc and spent sooooo much money on expensive beauty products to rid myself of this horrible acne which was getting me down, to no avail. The thing that all these products had in common were that they were expensive, didn't work and made my skin really dry. So, basically I had horrible cystic acne PLUS dry, flaky skin! Not a good look and it made me unhappy, self conscious and I didn't feel like going out at weekends when I should be enjoying myself.

But... in the past few weeks - I feel brilliant! Really good! I saw the advice on the Cosmetic Connection website and thought 'I need some of that!' My skin is soft, smooth, has hardly any spots and is glowing. My boyfriend loves the new me! Thank you Barbara for your products. I know now that I will be a 'Sager' for life. I now want to get hold of some of your body products so I think I will be ordering some of them in the next few weeks.                                                  
  Love sinead

I just wanted you to know that I'm using the "Try Me" pack for combination skin and am absolutely loving your product line. My skin has changed dramatically in just one week of use. I'm already moving away from a "combination" skin type towards a more "normal" skin and my skin tone itself is much more even, I barely have to use make-up to "even" things out. And now my husband wants in on the action (he's already skimming from my facial shampoo and the XX Mother Strickland's zit zapper). Do you customize packs for men? Feel free to use my comments in your testimonial section, I've already passed on the website to several friends, and be sure to let me know about men's skincare if you provide it. Gratefully,

I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you Barbara. You have given so much happiness back into my life by creating Sage Skin Care. I have suffered with acne since I was 11 years old, and have gone through so many different forms of therapies including Accutane which caused my body so much terrible pain in side effects and ended up not working for long.  I have been using Sage for just over two weeks and I feel radiant! It has been years that the only way I look in the mirror would be if I didn't have my contacts on or very close up so that I wouldn't get the whole picture of myself. Well today I just stood back and looked at myself and stared at a person that I havn't seen in a long time. I am so happy with myself, so much confidence, and self-esteem has come back to me.... thanks to your products and caring.  Last September I did some modelling for my hairdresser, but it was a very traumatic experience for me because my skin was very broken out. The photographer did an excellent job touching up the pictures, but now when I do look at the pictures I see the girl that I see now in the mirror and I never in my wildest dreams ever thought I would have skin so wonderful.  Well I better get going before I make this post to you even longer! Thank you again Barbara for everything. I am so happy I want to cry. You've given so much back to me, I don't think I could ever thank you enough.

I must compliment you as far as knowing your ingredients.  I have very very sensitive and dry skin--roscea, only blushing and redness.  I ordered your Emulsion and Old Lady Cream.  I layered them and in two days, I have no more dry skin, and best of all, no rashes or hives!  Hurray!  I read ingredients like crazy and have ordered, before you, I don't know how many products from the Internet, thinking they would be okay.  I was so desperate I ordered from Ar-Ex, and that was the worse--probably because of Borax!  I ordered from Paula Bequin but had to send everything back.  I could go on and on.  I received samples, generous, of your facial shampoo and grains.  I just ordered today and also the gelloid.  I hope I will be okay with them.  I was too excited to wait!  LOL!  I guess because I've been using Vaseline for the past 15 yrs.  I know it's a sealant and not a moisturizer, but it was better than nothing.  It must be good because I'm 57 and everyone thinks I'm less than 47!  Probably genes because my Mom has wonderful skin tone.  Anyway, I just want to thank you so much.  If I have to return anything I won't hesitate, but I don't think I will.  By the way, the Old Lady Cream is great for an eye cream for those with allergies.  I could go on but won't take any more of your time.  I just want to thank you for knowing your ingredients and what you are putting together. Thanks again,

Hello, I ordered the 4 oz bottle of Corrective Grains and a 4 oz bottle of Facial shampoo, both Extra Gentle, about 2 weeks ago.  I am SO INCREDIBLY IMPRESSED by these two products!!  I am taking 6 grams of B5 per day, and am using Retin-A Micro at night, and my skin was virtually acne free for the first time in a few years because of those two products.  So I was hesitant to purchase the Sage products, because I didn't want to add anything that may make my skin worse.  However, I was looking for a new cleanser to use in the morning and at night, because I was unhappy with my old one.  Like so many cleansers, it made my skin feel very tight and red, and I had a hard time opening my mouth, because my skin was so tight.  When I ate a meal, the skin around my mouth and jaw line would flake off a little.  So I was looking for a cleanser that would help a little with acne, but mostly I was looking for a cleanser that would just make my skin very soft and would improve slight discoloration, and wouldn't irritate my skin.  Surprisingly, this was very hard to find.  So I decided to try your two products, the shampoo and grains, because I had heard nothing but great things about them from many different people.  It is a little more costly than most cleansers, but man is it worth it!  My skin is softer than it has been in years since I started using this, and it also seems to be helping a little with the redness as well.  I use it twice a day, and since I got the extra gentle version of both, it doesn't seem to be drying my skin out at all, which was a big problem for me.

I walked past the mirror this morning with no make-up on and I did a double-take. I almost didn't recognize the person in the mirror with the smooth and glowing complexion.  I am 33 years old, and have literally spent thousands of dollars on acne and skin care treatments - everything from oral and topical prescriptions to drugstore and high-end department store brands. I tried Proactiv, Peter Thomas Roth, MD Formulations, La Mer, Lancome, Clarins, Estee Lauder, Neutrogena, etc. Some products helped a little, some made things worse, and most importantly not one of the brands lived up to the claims they made.  I would cry at night before I went to sleep and dreaded looking in the mirror. I avoided my class reunion because my skin looked bad. One night I was searching the internet, came across this forum, and decided to purchase a try me pack. At the time my face was marked with acne, blackheads, scars, and the beginnings of rosacea. Within one week, my skin looked better than it had in years. After a month, I was hooked. I followed the routine religiously, called frequently to ask questions ( Thanks for your patience Sharon!), threw away all 'unsafe' make-up, lurked on this board for tips, and was able to sample products until I discovered what worked for me.  Today, my skin is smooth and glowing. My scars are fading ( thanks to the At Home Peels) and I have a handle on the rosacea. It has been over on month since my last pimple, and I know if one shows up, I can handle it. My friends and family cannot believe the difference in my appearance and neither can I!  While I wrote this mainly to thank Barbara for creating this wonderful product line, I am hoping others will read this post and try Sage. If you have tried everything, and you are at your wits end, please call them. The products are incredible, the service is unbelievable, and it might just change your life. Thank you so much!

 I just have to share how much I love Sage products. I started breaking out 8 years ago. I had cystic acne on my chin, blackheads on my nose, oily t-zone, lines around my eyes, not pretty. I tried absolutely everything! Dermatologists, weekly facials, every department store brand, drug store product, health food store product, infomercial product, home shopping product, internet product, vitamins, herbs, diet...everything. Nothing worked. I finally tried Sage in December of 2000 after 6 years of searching and being depressed about my skin. Within 3 months my skin was completely clear. No breakouts at all, no blackheads, just clear smooth healthy skin. Unbelievable. For those of you starting out, it took a while to get my regime figured out and I needed to adjust it as the seasons changed, but whenever I encountered difficulty in the beginning I just e-mailed Barbara my regime and what was happening and she instructed me on how to adjust it and the problem was solved. I also changed all of my makeup to Sage Safe makeup. My skin is flawless. I don't have to worry about it anymore. Recently I went to a fancy spa and had a facial (just for fun, I didn't really need one). The esthetician said my skin was beautiful but somehow talked me in to using samples of their expensive designer products. I had gone so long without breaking out that I started to wonder if maybe that phase of my skin was over. Well, I used those darn samples for a few days and my skin broke out terribly. That's what I get for not using Sage. I'm back on track and reminded of how much the products have done for my skin and my sanity. Thank you everyone at Sage, a wonderful company with wonderful products and a wonderful staff!!!

It has been about three months since I started using your products and they are fantastic. I had been battling cyclic acne (cystic) for many years without much success. I have tried virtually every skincare line, have been to countless dermatologists and have been on every kind of medication from prescription topical to Accutane. I also have rosacea so most things that treat my acne flare my rosacea and the things that are mild enough for the rosacea flare the acne. Since I have been using your products, I have only broken out in the beginning and I was able to successfully treat those erruptions. Since then, not a single breakout!

Your customer service is great. If I have questions, I can always call and get an answer. I always get what I ordered and my order comes quickly. Once, then I made a mistake on an order, someone called me to clarify what I wanted before the order was shipped. That is exceptional service in an age where customers are taken for granted. You can feel free to use this as a testimonial if you like.

I don't mean to scream thatttt loud but.. oh my god!! I just started using SAGE for oily skin, and although my skin is still oily, all the little pimples I have had since I was 20 on my forehead and chest are GONE gone gone gone gone!!!! I forgot what it felt like to run my fingers over my chestand forehead, and feel suple smooth skin. Wow!!! it's gorgeous and I just wanted to say a BIG thank you Thank you!!!!  I just have started using sage, not even a week into using it, and already I see results!!  The sunscreen is THE BEST, I cannot say enough about it, I live near the ocean and hated going outside slathered in thick sunblock, feeling all slimy and getting burned anyway.. This weekend, I put it on myself and two daughters, and we all did not get burned, and noone felt like a greased up pig! :) THANK YOU!!  I'm amazed and so pleased and am passing the word on, how great sage is. Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww !!

You are an Angel!!!  Barbara, thank you a million times over!! Now, I just need to watch my oily skin calm down   :)  Have Wonderful day!!
