The trick is this...cleanse your face with HOT water (this opens up the pores and lets products penetrate further). Then PAT your face with a towel, leaving your skin just a little damp. Work the products in using massage motions until the product is diluted and cannot be seen. Adding the "Clear Harmonized Water" helps regain slip to work the product in even more. If you've done this right, there should be no residue left. Consistency is KEY! You should give a product 2+ months :)
I think you have hit the nail on the head....using the Osmosis I too would imagine it would take awhile of continued use to renew and heal the skin from inside. I have not heard of the Pevonia line. I was looking at the Rosacea care line though. Might have to try! :)
I have also been using Osmosis. I don't notice any immediate calming effects of my redness, but I've seen Dr. Johnson's video and it seems that the target is healing/mending. That process I imagine would take longer than just treating the symptoms. I hate the color of the Mend. It makes my face look darker and I get dirt like streaks and it's super sticky. So, I use my Pevonia products (they immediately calm my redness) in the daytime, and I use the Osmosis at night when no one can see my face.
I am an esthetician in Charlotte, NC & have been working with the Osmosis line for almost a year. I wanted to comment on what you were saying about the treatment serum not rubbing in. You can use the Clear Treatment Water to help regain slip while rubbing in the product. What you forgot to mention is the penetration that Osmosis has. It is certainly reaching below the epidermis & is all natural, so the smell should not matter. If they go adding fragrances & colors, it's lost its integrity.
Thanks for the tip......I do like this line and feel like I am definitely seeing some good things. The smell is really bad though.........when you first put it on and it gets all over my pillow etc. I did find that if I spend more time trying to smooth it around....it does absorb pretty well. I only hope that it makes my capillaries eventually disappear!! :)
