Yes, I wasn’t impressed. Their products are available via third party sites so if you are keen on their range but concerned re service then maybe that’s best bet. But that’s still ultimately funding them. Good cust service is so attractive.Its such a shame that it took a Paypal report for Paula’s Choice to investigate. It will certainly put me off ordering from them. Poor customer service.
Pleased you got your money back and enjoy your facial.
A long time ago (around 25 years ago when I was in my early 40s) I used to have CACI regularly and really rated it. I felt it lifted my face a little. I only stopped because I started getting Botox and wasn't sure that the two went together.Hi all, does anyone have any recent experience with CACI facials? I keep debating it but would really value your impartial opinions! Thank you!
Thank you so much for your response. I'm in my early 40s now so thought it might be the right time for CACI. I've also pondered the at-home devices but wondered about getting a course of professional treatments first to see how my skin responded. I'm terribly tempted!!!A long time ago (around 25 years ago when I was in my early 40s) I used to have CACI regularly and really rated it. I felt it lifted my face a little.

As there are now at-home micro current devices - which weren't around 25 years ago - my preference now would be to buy one of those, such as the NuFace, rather than have regular CACI facials. But I'm someone who doesn't particularly enjoy salon treatments and am good at keeping up an at-home routine.
If you do go for CACI, try to have a trial treatment before signing up for a course to make sure it's a pleasant experience.Yes I agree, in the long term it's definitely more cost effective. But then the lure of someone else rubbing my face... hahaha!

Amazing update thanks so much.Update on the Philips Lumea -
I've done three sessions now and am due my fourth within the next few days. To recap I am pale with a variety of dark and mousy brown body hair.
Pros
Cons
- Regrowth time overall has slowed a lot. It used to grow to visible stubble (not just grain-of-sand size) back in two days and now it's been two weeks and only got to that point within the last day since I did it nearly two weeks ago
- Snail trail hair is pretty much gone other than three hairs - this was the best result. It was dark so makes sense. I am happy with this as shaving never ever sorted this. I'd always be able to see little dark spots
- Leg hair has decreased, but not by much. Weirdly, it's been more effective on the lighter, almost blonde hair on my thighs than the darker, mousy hair on my calves
- Bikini line decreased, but not by much
- Armpit hair decreased a bit (dark)
- The result of shaving is overall now pretty good compared to before when it was a waste of time - it's quicker and more painless than epilating, too, which is what I normally do
- My skin hasn't reacted badly to it at all and it is literally painless. The 'rubber band snapping' feeling is not painful at all and you only feel it occasionally, maybe once or twice per session
- It's pretty quick - shaving & IPL combined is less time than epilating and again, pain-free
- Generally, the fleshier and flatter the area, the better the result seems to be
I started to notice a small difference after the second session. I do think it's working it's just semi slow going. The time passes anyway though so I'm very happy to persevere. Will update once I get a significant result or after another two-three sessions - whichever comes first
- I don't think the next session will totally get the remaining hair. I think at least another two are necessary before I get to the maintenance stage
- Hormonal hair (idk how to describe it) seems to be tougher ie around my armpits and bikini line than other dark hair
- Not surprised that it's been less effective with the leg hair so far given it's mousy-coloured
- I know it says you can epilate/wax beforehand but I'm not sure I believe that and shaving sucks when you have long legs, even though my results are better now
- In my last session, it kept overheating which significantly prolonged the session
- I have to do it vertically on my shins because it doesn't detect my leg otherwise
- I am not practised at shaving and my God it's hard to make sure you're totally hair free in the relevant areas! If you are a seasoned shaver this probably won't bother you
- On narrower and less flat areas like my shins, creases (bikini line fold), armpits, it's less effective - probably because it's harder to get it flush with the skin
I’m new on this thread so I’m probably not much help, but I’m sure if you ask on here someone will be able to help.Can I ask for a recommendation?
Super helpful review! I got a laser hair removal devices during covid and then didn't use it. Really should give it a proper go though. Thank you for the thorough review of your experience.Update on the Philips Lumea -
