I have been using
Tri Enzyme Resurfacing Serum and
Resurfacing Night Cream for over 3 months and I thought this may be a good time to give you a review on it. As always, this is just my opinion. What works for my skin may not work for yours.
The Elemis website says

Reclaim a stunning complexion with a more even and luminous skin tone. As natural cell renewal is stimulated, imperfections appear diminished and the appearance fine lines and wrinkles are reduced.

It retails on the timetospa website for £95 for 30ml, which is a huge investment to make. However, you can be a savvy shopper and pick up a bargain on eBay - I picked up mine for around £40 for 30ml, much kinder on the wallet! Basically you apply it to clean skin, before moisturiser, day and night.
After the first week of using the product, I noticed my skin was remarkably softer, with less flakiness. After using the product for around 3 weeks, I noticed that the thickening of my skin, especially on the areas with acne scaring, seemed to be softening and looking generally smoother.
At around 4 weeks useage, I purchased the Tri Enzyme Resurfacing Night Cream which compliments the serum.
The Elemis Tri-Enzyme Resurfacing Night Cream stimulates the skin's natural cell renewal cycle, actively smoothing and enhancing the skin whilst cellular respiration is at its optimum during sleep. A synergistic lipid complex is combined with powerful actives to leave skin feeling soft and super-hydrated. Imperfections, lines, and wrinkles are reduced as a stunning complexion is revealed.

I am always cautious about creams as I worry that they will clog my pores and cause further breakouts. However, this cream was easily absorbed into my skin and I had no negative effects. It retails for around £85 which again is fairly pricey so I would suggest scouring eBay for bargains!
So, i'm very much a results-driven person and although I could feel my skin was improved through using these products, I wanted to know for sure that my skin was benefiting. Luckily, Elemis have what they call Skin Lab, where they basically take various pictures of your skin in different lighting. These images are then analysed by the computer and a report is produced outlining major skin concerns such as spots, wrinkles, age spots and texture. This report is then saved and it can be used as a comparison in the future.
My reports are below...
As you can see, after around 3 months (I began using the products at the beginning of November) I have experienced a great improvemtn in my skin. It is by no means perfect, but it's great progress.
In summary, I would recommend this product to anyone who has acne scarring. I do not think this is suitable for those with active acne. However, if your acne is all but gone like mine, and has left behind the ugly scarring, then i'd suggest to give this a try. However, it is a fairly hefty strain on the pocket, so i'd suggest getting some sample sizes from eBay and trying them out first to see if they will work for you.
Elemis has such a huge range of fantastic products, which are all-natural. My next must-purchase items will be the
Papya Enzyme Peel and
Herbal Lavender Repair Mask!
I hope you found this useful!
Maybe I went a bit OTT with the blush here!!
The fun of it is you can try out ifferent hairstyle and colours!
Dark red! Don't think i'd ever be brave enough to have this colour!
Wish my fringe was as thick looking as this...
Probably my favourite, think I am destined to be a dark-haired girl..
