Anyone using Osmosis Catalyst? - Melasma

MoxieMama · 02-12-2010, 05:57 PM

I just saw an ad for this today in a esthetics show program and it makes some very strong claims! It is supposed to heal melasma, rosacea, actinic keratosis, shrink facial capillaries and generate collagen. If so, I want this product in my arsenal!!
I have melasma over 50% of my face and have had it in varying degrees for over a decade. Some things have lightened it but it always comes back and usually worse in some way than before.
If anyone is using this I would love to hear about your results or lack of results.
Thanks!

Hi LNL, I found a few places on the internet just by doing a google search. I was referred to this site below by a member on EDS.

(had link here but wouldn't let me post)

It is quite expensive, but if it works it is worth it and will save me thousands on treatments trying to generate collagen and ridding myself of melasma.

I just really do not want yet another product sitting in my cabinet because it didn't work.

Ok I got the kink from Essential Day Spa, its 120 for one ounce which lasts a very long time. I will give it a try and let you know, it says you can use it with your creams, moisturizers, or any other products.

This is the link : Catalyst 30 mil

LNL, thanks for posting the link. I think now that I have hit 15 posts, that one was my 15th, that I can now post links! YAY!
Please do update once you've given it a try, I may break down and get it in the next week or two, who knows. The claims they make are very strong, I notice they don't use those phrases such as...has been shown to, may help with, or xx% of users get some super positive result. They sound pretty darn sure that their product truly is amazing. I hope it is!!

MoxieMama, the only think im worried aobut is that it has copper gluconate - now im not sure if that is similar to copper peptides but there has been a lot of reviews of people who had damaged skin from copper peptides including members here so I am a bit confused; can you fill me in on that ingreident?

You going to give it a go Light?

**LightenNLift** · 02-12-2010, 09:38 PM

I think so, as soon as I get my next paycheck, one ounce bottle lasts a very long time, my Vitamin C one ounce bottle lasted me about 4 months which is enough to see results.

Goatie · 02-12-2010, 09:44 PM

Well you let Goatie know if you like it you hear, but I don't know where the heck you are going to "test" it, your skin looks great.

**LightenNLift** · 02-12-2010, 09:46 PM

I was wondering the same thing, I really dont know if Im the right candidate to test something like this.

First THANK YOU to LNL, Goatlady, and Fawnie. I continue to learn from you. LNL - For my Melasma I started the Vit C, MSM, and Pycengenol regimen you recommended. Do you still recommend that?

**LightenNLift** · 02-13-2010, 09:46 PM

Yes I still recommend that internally, but what are you doing to treat it from the outside - meaning what products are you using?

Skintuition · 02-15-2010, 11:40 AM

I have been using it for a few months. I do not have melasma but it did clear pigmentation very well and my friend is seeing clearance of melasma after two months. Supposedly it works by healing the damage so I am thinking it is permanent...hoping anyway. My lines are better, my facial capillary disappeared, I'm hooked. By the way, it is SPF 15 without any sunscreens so that is all I use for sun protection now. They say you cannot use it with Retin A, but I am not sure why...

**LightenNLift** · 02-15-2010, 05:08 PM

Skintuition thats great! Just some quick questions for those who want to know more, please try to answer them.

1. Do you have to stop Retin-A?

2. It comes in a 1 ounce bottle, so do you add a few drops to your palms and apply it all over your face with fingers or do you mix it with something?

3. How long does that 1 ounce bottle last used twice daily?

4. Does it exfoliate or do you need to use an exfoliating cream since Retin-A cant be used?

5. What other products have you used with it?

6. Does it live upto its claims (well you said it does but confirm) of restoring flawless skin free of irregular pigmentation, acne, scars, pock marks, etc.?
