I'm on and off with the Bio-enzyme. I believe it helps some, but not as big an improvement as the TR Serum. It may depend on your age.
I know what you mean about affording it--I'm having to cut back to the products that I feel help the most. The TR Serum is my #1 product that will be the last thing I give up, if I ever have to.
Keep in mind that I am 64, so there's more repair to do on my skin and more wrinkles, although if I do say so myself, it's pretty good for my age. It looks better than a relative my age who had a full face lift.
My #2 AP must-have product is the Time Response Gel moisturizer.
Have you tried the time response ampoules? How would you say they compare with the tr serum? I have been using the ampoules for just a week and see massive results.
I got hooked on amore pacific after reading maxter's posts and have not looked back. The line is 1000% better for my skin than la mer, la prairie and all other expensive lines I have used.
I am only 33, but this stuff has cleared my complexion (I have sensitive acne-prone skin) and just made my complexion glow.
I use the treatment cleansing oil (love how this removes makeup too), bio-enzyme refining complex, stabilzing serum (for stress times), treatment toner, moisture bound gel in daytime, foundation, time response gel creme at night, time response eye cream, the moisture bound lip treatment, and the treatment enzyme peel three days a week.
I also use the vitalizing mask once or twice a month to plump the moisture in my skin and use the line modifier wrinkle treatment for a forehead line that I see developing.
I am just finishing my first week on the ampoules and am loving them.
I order from Margaret or Pam in the chicago Neiman Marcus and they always provide a ton of free samples with any purchase.
