M. Asam Answers FAQs

We would like to take a moment to answer many of those questions posted on our blog. Your comments help us improve our products and give us new ideas so please keep writing!

Camelle from Texas asks: Can you use the Double Lift Serum along with the night Concentrate? We would suggest using the Double Lift Serum in the morning and the Night Concentrate in the evening. For most skin types both together is probably too rich.

Not only Dorothy from North Carolina, but many of you ask: In what sequence are M. Asam products best used or what should you apply first? Of course every skin is different so try to find what works best for you. These general guidelines can help:


Mornings
Start with the cleansing products like the Cleansing Cream and the Face Toner. Follow with our Face Serum and Eye Cream or Eye Serum and then a moisturizer like the Day and Nightcream. Additionally you can apply some special care such as the Lip Lines Cream or the Neck and Décolleté Cream. Perfect Teint or Magic Finish will give you a finishing touch for a flawless and radiant appearance.

Evenings
Start with the cleansing products like the Cleansing Cream and the Face Toner. Then apply the Eye Cream. Follow with some special care such as the Face Mask or Ampoule Beauty Treatment. Lastly, apply your night moisturizer as Special Night Care or Day and Nightcream if needed.

Another common question coming this time from Laura in California, What is the difference between Perfect Teint and Magic Finish? These two products are actually quite different. Perfect Teint is an instant invisible wrinkle filler. Magic Finish provides a makeup foundation that fills wrinkles. Choose what your skin needs on whether or not you want make-up.

Nancy from Ohio asks, How can one fight against lip lines below (and around) the mouth? Try our VINOLIFT Lip Lines Cream. This is a special cream targeting the area around the lips with Argireline® und Maxi-Lip®, Hyaluronic Acid, Shea Butter and Cocoa Butter. Try also our temporary lifting and line filler, Perfect Teint, for instant wrinkle coverage.

Lynn from Georgia wants to know, How do you apply the Pore Minimizer? Apply the Pore Minimizer in the morning after the Day and Night Cream. Don’t use any additional serums or moisturizers. You can also use the Pore Minimizer alone. It just has to be the last layer to give you the matte finish.

Dee from Tennessee wants to know, How do you use the Aqua Intense Hydration Concentrate – should it be used daily or as a special beauty treatment? Some people prefer to use daily or others try using it for a short time period when their skin needs an extra boost, for example, two weeks. Every skin is different and also weather conditions can make a big difference on what our skin needs. Listen to your skin and you will find what is best for you. I personally love to use this every evening.

Thank you for taking the time to read our blog. Please stay tuned for our next blog where we will answer more of your questions. Enjoy the holidays!


Warm regards,

Your products have wonderful vitamins and antioxidants but is it possible to make a retinol product? I understand retinol is the only product endorsed by dematologist that actually makes a difference on wrinkles.

Love Vinolift and started using a month ago and I see results! I am concerned there is no daycream with SPF in it as we approach spring. I like to stay with one line and I have tried many; this one works. I have to have SPF in a daycream. Hope it comes out soon.

Just turned 59, so I graduated to your Vinolift line. Love ALL your products. However, I am allergic to avocado and I am hesitant to use the Vinolift Night Cream. I believe that is your only product with avocado in it. Correct? My night routine is clean, tone, Day & Night Cream & Eye Cream. Then I use my Dermawand...followed by Vinolift eye gel/lip cream/skin tightening cream. Sound good? Any suggestions for hereditary pupput lines? HELP!

I would love to see a daycream with SPF in it. Protecting your skin from the sun is just as important as using other anti-aging treatments!

I am trying to order the MagicFinish that I received in a previous order as part of a complexion set. I don't see it online. Is it going to be available soon, and is this an item that could possibly be put on an autoship? Great, great product. Just love it!

Your products are excellent and it is a pleasure to watch your presentations. I do have a suggestion regarding the Tinted Day Cream. Is it possible to manufacture the product in a tone that is compatible with olive and darker skin tones? I purchased the product and was so excited to try it, however, the results were not at all becoming and it occurred to me that fair-skinned faces are best suited for the product and not those of us with olive and darker tones. Thank you.

I really feel that the formula has been changed on the Aqua Intense concentrate. The consistency is not the same, and does not work as well.

HSN Cust Service, I have called you many times to ask when sale prices will go up, and NO ONE ever has an answer!! At 9PM PST, all the M Asam prices were STILL ON SALE, and I wanted to take advantage of the S&H savings - how unfair to raise the prices at midnight, just when I was getting ready to order. Doesn't benefit paying $10-20 more per kit and saving a couple bucks on S&H. Just wasted over 4 hrs trying to decide what kits to get that JUST WENT UP! Not a happy customer on New Years!!!!

Hi Marcus & Mirjam, Would like to request that you offer the cleansing gel & tonic duo as an option for those of us who prefer a cleansing gel to a creamy cleanser. Like the feel of gel better. Otherwise, love the green/gold and hyaluron line, however I do agree with some reviewers who prefer the original (green) hyaluron serum to the new blue (Aqua Intense serum). Any chance you might offer the old one again? Thanks for the great sale prices, and always enjoy your visits! You 2 are adorable!

Has the formula changed on the Aqua Intense concentrate? It feel much more slimy, and slightly gooey than the originals. Thanks.
