I received the serum as a sample and was instantly hooked. Normally I'm an Olay person, but I find their moisturizer a bit heavy. The Algenist moisturizer is wonderful, I use it every night. The serum I love!!! It smoothes out your skin making it look and feel youthful. I have really breakout prone skin and if anything this helped my skin. The only negative is the price.

Good way to try this new brand

Quick Take: new and interesting - biotechnology., smells clean
The set is smaller than I expected for the $$. The cleanser is fresh and creamy and smells clean. I prefer a cleanser that really foams/soaps up and gets all of my make-up, dirt, etc. off of my face. I think this particular cleanser is too creamy for me, since I have frequent breakouts with blackheads and pimples and some whiteheads. I feel this cleanser would not rinse off enough for me.
The serum - the star of the set! Reason I gave ths 4 stars. I have relatively wrinkle free skin, but the jawline is starting to sag, so I am on the lookout for products to help firm up this area without breaking my skin out. So far, I do like this. I also purchased the deep line serum for my nose to mouth lines. The verdict is still out on that one.
The cream - it is good, not great. I am not sure if it contributed to my current breakout or not. It may be too rich, so I am focusing on using it on my neck. Seems to make it look better so far.

Just OK
-05.13.12
Quick Take: simply average
I purchased a similar Algenist kit at a Sephora retail store and used the products for 3 weeks. My skin felt softer, as I have dry skin, but I was not impressed with the trio set that I paid $95 for. I am now using a Murad set that I purchased online & I like much better, plus, I have really noticed some improvement in my mature skin.

good set

Quick Take: travel-friendly, good value
Noticed my skin was softer and more even toned after the first 3-4 days. Skin is somewhat firmer. Cleanser does a good job removing eye make-up. Good packaging. Serum and cream go on smoothly. So far not a huge difference in fine line reduction. Does not irritate my skin. Would purchase again.

I am in week two of using this kit. It has a more chemical feel than the Korres products I usually use, but I'm pleased with the results. The full size products are pricey.
