what cream do you use with it while using it?

For me, I found that NO cream was needed!!! I learned that the hard way. Cream tends to create a sticky goo that keeps the head from moving smoothly across my face & only clogs the lights. Actually, once your skin warms a little (which is almost instantaneous) , it glides very smoothly with nothing required!!! What I do to warm the head just a little is I turn it away from my face & then touch the side of the head with the tip of my finger. The lights come on which helps to warm the metal. I don't hold it like that for long as I don't want it hot...just warm.

I bought the serum from the same company - I called them b/c mine was kind of tugging at my skin and the person on the phone said to use their serum with it. They even sent me a free bottle and when it ran out I bought this one (below) love it :)Silk'n Serum, 1 Ounce

I don't use any cream while I'm actually using the device; however, I use Murad anti aging moisturizer after I use it. I'm not sure if others find it necessary to use moisturizer during use, but I would think it would only be necessary to do this if you're really using a great deal of pressure. I would also think that using a cream or gel would cause the holes in the devise to clog up? I haven't found it necessary as I don't use a lot of pressure. In my mind, it's not about pressure, it's about the light. Also, I would think using too much pulling (or pressure) might be counter-productive by causing the skin to wrinkle more.

I think I used something that came with it, but it stopped working after the first use and I sent it back. This was some time ago so I'm sorry that I don't remember that part.

I have always used regular whipping cream from the grocery store, or heavy cream, 8%, and it works great. And I add what ever extra flavor or sweetening I want to it, sugar, maple syrup, cocoa powder, vanilla or almond extract. It all works great. I have had one of these for probably 20 years and it still works the same as new, got my son one for his most recent birthday.

hi, I did not have this machine for a year and it went out on the second use. I you can get it from the grocery stores. Heavy cream in the dairy area is what I used. good luck.

That is usually the way you use these creams. Christine Northrup's book recommends it I believe. The book has been out awhile so you could check your local library.

Any kind of shave cream should work. I use regular edge gel shave cream and it works like a charm.

You will want to get a shaving mug ( I use an old coffee cup) and a brush. This cream is for using a safety razor or straight razor. Hope this helps :-)

I heat up the cream, which helps. Then I froth it for awhile before putting it into my coffee.

I just use this as a moisturizing cream at night. It looks like there are several reviewers on here that just use it as a moisturizing cream as well.

I just use it with a normal gel cleanser. You could probably even use bar soap with enough lather.

This looks just like the one I bought. It works great with the cream and it lasts a long time.

feel a slight heat, you should use the gel or cream of your choice to hydrate your skin. Skin hydration improved much after a while of use

I have managed to get to the rest of the product using a small mallet. I place the dispenser into a new clean ziploc-type bag, wrap that loosely in a small/thin towel, place this on hard surface (my basement floor), and hit it with the mallet (usually 3 or 4 blows does the trick) until the container breaks open enough to safely get to the cream. I store the cream in an undamaged bag in a cool place and away from light. I get an additional 3 or 4 days worth of cream this way.

Mine is more of a soupy lotion, too. I'm using it as is, but would prefer a cream consistency.

The cream is more like heavy whipping cream so it would depend on the recipe but I do use it a lot. Just keep in mind it has more fat and almost no water.

I usually use water mixed with olive oil. Leaves skin soft with a natural moisturizer.

I only use those two products. I don't use any other creams at night. I think it works well

I would use the creme lightly on my face. I use it all over my body, it's so nurishing to dry skin.
