Is it normal to have tiny "chunks" of stuff in the cream? I had a little trouble applying it 'cause I had to keep picking out the tiny pieces.

The longer it's exposed to air, the more chunks it gets. And the bigger. I just apply anyway, and try to make sure there is good liquid under the chunks, and then wipe it away with a rolling motion to keep the chunks from damaging my stencils. It's a pain, but I haven't found a solution. I did try to filter it, but it was messy and didn't really help much. Good luck. :)

Thank you...was having a mini meltdown. Sadly I didn't think I'd have this reaction and didn't plan for this appearance. I did a 30% glycolic peel a few weeks ago and there was no one minute of downtime. It just made me glow. Do you think it's better to let it get very dry so it will maybe peel faster or reapply my moisturizer to keep it hydrated? I look so crazy and have to work on Rodeo Dr. tomorrow. :(

Mine came in chunks but it was also smooth and creamy to the touch. If I were you I would return it, especially since the container had a hole in it.

sorry to hear. it's annoying, especially if you're meticulous with these things! i'm not sure it's common (at least it hasn't happened to me). however, i do use a lens blower/duster, a microfiber, methyl alcohol cleaning liquid. see this useful link from Ken Rockwell (http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/cleaning.htm) and more generic help from B&H;: http://goo.gl/L3ZE9. good luck. post back how you make out.

I'm getting the bubbles too, I was so excited to try out this product, but now I'm frustrated because the bubbles show up each time. Has anyone figured out why this happens? Are there ways to prevent it? I know it's the Gelous because it does not happen when I don't use this product. I'm doing thin coats & I'm not shaking the bottle.

This happens to me also,, only with the night cream. I don't know why it happens,, but I like it so much I don't mind. My face really does feel so soft in the morning when I wash my face. I love this stuff!!

Mine was smooth but when I took the lid off it cracked and chunks of hard plastic went everywhere. I just bagged it to keep it from getting dry. I make creams and as I used my last batch it got clumpy and crumbly but performed just as well.

This does not sound right at all. Mine is like a very soft gel--goes on skin like silk. I do manipulate it around in the tube before using to make sure all is mixed well. You might try that.

I've been using the Lytera system for a little over a month now and have not encountered any problems with the texture or consistency of any of the creams. Wish I had a better answer for your question.

I would say make sure it's the right temp and consistency before applying and to apply a thicker layer. Also, you may be using too much oil. I put too much oil on and the wax stayed pretty stretchy.

i love this stuff. best yet. i tried the titanium kind but it goes on like desitin baby bum cream. do you remember that stuff, if you've had children? anyhow it goes on like a white paste & i couldn't rub it away!!

Mine was just a clear tube and the brush that you use that also closes the tube. Just like the picture. I think the mascara should be put in very warm so it is still liquid. I was going to use a rolled up thin plastic sheet, like heavy sheet protector. Roll it like a funnel (cut it shorter and pour the hot ingredients in the tub through the funnel. That's the plan. I have NOT used it yet, so we'll see :) If there is a little funnel, I want one!

you don't need much. Did you try just applying it with the sponge tip? Usually, I only see a tiny droplet of actual product, as the rest is in the sponge. You really don't want a big blob to be visible, that would be way too much. Try dabbing with the sponge tip, across forehead, down the T zone, and blend. I bet you can do your entire face with the tiny bit visible. It might take a few clicks to get enough product into the sponge, but once it's started, only a click or two will do it. Hope this helps.

I would agree with the others. I did a quick google search and it does sound as though it might have something to do with the layers possibly not fusing together properly. Definitely not normal! I thoroughly enjoy mine, so you may want to give some thought to giving them a second chance and have them replace it. Good luck with whatever you decide! :)

Mine has always come as a solid cream. It could be the hot weather. Can you let it set, like someplace cool and see if it solidifies? I would also contact Reviva Labs and check with them. I don't know if the -- what sounds like melted - cream harms the Vit. K but that's one question I would ask. Sorry I can't be more help.

Something similar happened to me on my 2nd attempt to make butter. My mistake was that the cream was not at room temperature. It was close to room temp., but not at room temperature.
