Testimonials
Grace Dyck, BC, Canada "Glimpse Intuitive Skin Care!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I have been documenting my weekly progress with test samples of glimpse. I have had a problem with hyper-pigmentation and sun damage on these areas for years. I have tried many different products, but nothing would really address this. I was just on my way to booking laser treatments and decided to give the samples I received a serious commitment. Wow, I am impressed!!!

Jerry Johnson, Surprise, AZ, U.S.A. (7-year old with Eczema)
We [the Johnson family] started him [7-year-old son Jerry] on the Mangosteen Pericarp oil in the 1st week of May. On the left was his arms and legs when we started him on it. [see slide show for pictures].
In the beginning we had to use very little because we had a tiny bottle of the oil. The Pericarp oil is one of the major ingredients in all of the Glimpse products. On the top right is the difference after just 2 weeks on the product. The bottom right is after 3 weeks. [see slide show for pictures].
This is significant because thre were NO steroids creams or Cortizone creams used during this time period. Also, the Mangosteen Pericarp Oil did not burn his skin, like all lotions, creams, and medications do. Today the back of his legs are almost completely clear, and his arms are completely clear. NO ooze, no itching, and no burning.

"Before using the oil, I had dry puffy eyes. I seriously thought about surgery. Now they are back to normal. I don't have to do surgery now. Some of my brown spots are fading. I am so excited to get all of the products!" - Debbie Lumby

Lorrie Hall
"Where to begin, the wrinkles around my eyes are gone and the bags have disappeared. The deep lines around my nose and mouth are much smaller in depth. My skin is supple and fresh, looking instead of 75, people tell me I look in my late 50's or early 60's. It has made me change the way I see myself. Instead of being ravished by my chemotherapy, I see myself as beautiful once more." - Lorrie Hall

Allicia Johnson
"I had sensitive skin and minor acne until I was 24 years old when I went on Accutane. I got my cosmetologist license at 21. At age 25 I got hired to see Christian Dior cosmetics at Dillard's because I had nice skin and cosmetology experience. I was able to experiment with all the lines and got to know what really worked. I went to several educational seminars for Dior and Lancome. Over the years I got recruited to freelance for lines such as Estee Lauder, Bobbi Brown, Chanel and even Armani. I had two pet products I could not live without. One was Estee Lauder's Daywear Plus moisturizer ($40) and Lancome's Sesation Totale serum (about $75 a bottle). My skin would get angry if I stopped using them. I used the Lauder moisturizer religiously for about 9 years. I've always been careful with what I use on my skin because its pretty sensitive to breakouts.
Glimpse Experience:
Once I began using Glimpse, within 3 days my skin looked and felt better than it ever has in my entire life. I was hooked! Over the next 6 weeks or so (this stuff is concentrated!) I used only Glimpse until I ran out of moisturizer. I reluctantly went back to my old reliable Lauder moisturizer and Lancome serum. As soon as I put the Lauder on my skin, it was mad! I felt it drying out and my skin felt like wax - I was amazed. I used the Lauder for about 2 weeks out of necessity until I was able to get more Glimpse. Within 3 minutes of using the Glimpse, my skin went back to what it was when I'd been using it. I used it over the weekend and and noticed a difference in my skin by Monday. This stuff is incredible!

Biofermentation is a unique scientific process that amplifies desired qualities found
in nature. It is used to make wine and other food products and is one of the oldest technologies with thousands of years of history. Because of the delicate processing and meticulous care required to produce desired results, fermentation is often considered art among scientists.

6. What is green chemistry?
“Green chemistry is the design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances." 3
3 - Anastas and Warner, 2000.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
7. What is mangosteen infused water?
Glimpse formulas do not begin with regular water. Glimpse formulas begin with a unique, one of a kind, mangosteen infused water. This process entails steeping (like
a tea bag in water) mangosteen pericarp powder into USP grade purified water. This allows for the transfer of mangosteen’s powerful phytonutrients into the first ingredient and base of each formula.4 You can enjoy optimal skin benefits from mangosteen with mangosteen infused water.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
8. I heard Glimpse skin care is a brand with green focus. But what exactly does “green focus” mean?
XanGo selects ingredients from natural sources as much as possible. In addition, XanGo takes extra steps to make sure each ingredient is clean of hidden additives, chemicals or toxins. Upon manufacturing the Glimpse brand, XanGo uses a special blending technology called cold processing, reducing carbon emissions which could negatively impact the environment. Additionally, cold processing enhances the efficacy of the product by supporting the nutrient integrity of the performance ingredients within the formulations.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
9. Are Glimpse products tested by dermatologists?
Yes. All Glimpse formulas are tested by dermatologists.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
10. Why is cold processing important?
Many cosmetic products are blended at near-boiling temperatures for various reasons. This process often compromises the potency of vitamins and natural enzymatic activity of botanical phytonutrients. XanGo utilizes cold processing where the blending of active ingredients takes place at a lower temperature to ensure nutrient integrity of performance ingredients. This special processing method is more “green” or environmentally friendly than traditional blending processes as it requires less energy and emits less carbon footprints to the environment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Concerns on Toxic Chemicals:
11. What is Safe Cosmetics Campaign? Has XanGo signed the Coalition for Safe Cosmetics?
The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics is a coalition working to protect your health by calling for the elimination of chemicals used in the cosmetics industry linked to cancer, birth defects and other health problems. Yes, XanGo has signed the Coalition for Safe Cosmetics.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
12. I heard some of the commonly used ingredients in skin care are harsh on skin. Does Glimpse Skin Care contain any harsh chemicals?
Glimpse Skin Care is designed to work intuitively to support skin’s daily functions without the use of harsh chemicals or dangerous toxins. Based on XanGo’s strict ingredient philosophy, Glimpse products are free from the following ingredients that
are potentially harmful to skin and health:
• Petrochemicals
• Sulfates (SLES, SLS, ALS)
• Mineral Oil
• Carbomer
• Phenoxyethanol
• Quatemary Ammonium
• Petrolatum
• Alcohol (like Ethanol, SD Alcohol)
• PEGs
• Glycols
• Silicones
• GM (Glyceryl Monostearate)
• Formaldehyde donors (preservatives)
• Toluene
• BHT
• Phthalates
• Parabens
• Ethanolamines i.e. TEA, DEA
• Synthetic dyes such as FD&C or D&C colors
• Synthetic fragrance
• Sodium/Potassium Hydroxide
• AMP-95
-----------------------------------------------------------------
13. Does Glimpse skin care use a synthetic fragrance?
Glimpse does not contain any synthetic fragrances. The aroma comes from the blend of BioActive X3 Complex and other botanical ingredients. Each ingredient is selected carefully for the specific purpose of nutritional benefit and supplementation to the largest organ of the body, the skin, but at the same time produces a subtle, natural aroma that dissipates quickly. According to the EWG, an analysis of the chemical contents of products reveals that innocuous-looking “fragrance” often contains chemicals linked to negative health effects. Phthalates, used to make fragrances last longer, are associated with damage to the male reproductive system and artificial musks accumulate in our bodies and can be found in breast milk. Some artificial musks are even linked to cancer. And if you’ve got asthma, watch out—fragrance formulas are considered to be among the top 5 known allergens, and can trigger asthma attacks. The same kinds of chemicals are often used for fragrance in
cleaning products, scented candles and air fresheners.

No. Glimpse Skin Care is for both men and women who are conscious about their
