Let customers speak for us
I've been using Essential Lipids along with Ultra Rich Moisturizer for about six years and my skin has never felt so nourished and moisturized. I could probably use just one but together they keep my skin soft for the whole day. Previous creams often needed one or two re-applications during the day. I'm now in my 70's and my skin doesn't seem to be aging much. Worth every penny.
Love this moisturizer! I’ve been using it for years, day and night. Never feels heavy and my skin always feels soft.
I never realized how much of a difference the right skincare could make until I tried Susan Bell Skincare. These products completely changed my routine, and now my skin feels healthier, smoother, and more radiant than ever. I especially love the Vitamin C—it gives my skin such a fresh, glowing boost! I’m never going back!
I’ve tried so many products to balance my skin, but nothing worked until I found Susan Bell Skincare. Their formulas target my concerns without irritation, and I’ve seen a real improvement in my complexion. Finally, skincare that actually works!
Sue Bell now has her own line of pitch perfect products. I can't believe how great these products are: the proof is staring me in the mirror...
I would bathe in Essential Lipids if I could!!! So amazing!
I am very simple with my skin care (usually just use oil to cleanse and moisturize). That said, sometimes I need some exfoliating and I love love love her scrub. I swear it's made from diamond dust and makes my skin feel like a million bucks!!
Cheaper products from pharmacies would irritate my skin, so I will continue to order her products online because they really pamper me.
Far and away the best scrub I have ever used!! Love the feel and the smell!!
Thank you Sue Bell for creating such an amazing line of skin care products! I've been using them for some time now, and am loving the results! One of my favorites is the Raspberry Scrub, it gently polishes my skin to radiance without any irritation and it smells so yummy! I will definitely keep using Susan Bell Skin Care for a long time and would highly recommend it!
