Skincare Break - YBF Skincare | Angela @ Lipgloss Break 3.2.09
"I have very sensitive skin, which makes me a little nervous to try new skincare products. I heard great things about YBF... so I decided to give it a try. I tried YBF's Control and loved it. YBF Skincare has a product for everything on your wish list, ranging from anti-aging, oil control, wrinkle correction and improving complexion products."

Reader Reviewed and Recommended: Control and Correct | Stan @ Truth In Aging 12.27.08
"After a week of use, I found the Control gave my skin an even, brighter tone. It felt and appeared smoother. Over the weeks it has gradually improved more."
 

Spin Traps for everyone with YBF Skincare | Jami @ Bionic Beauty 12.09.08
On CONTROL: "Control is a bit hydrating (but not enough on its own) and really seemed to make my skin luminous after about 4 weeks of treatment. Overall my dry and oily patches were more even and normal. I didn't have "desert zones" and "rainforest zones" on my face."

CONTROL: In Top Five Best Anti-Aging Serums | Marta Wohrle 10.22.08
"There are some new contenders that are so powerful that they have ousted three of the former Five Bests. Control has YBF's signature ingredient, spin trap. This is a clever little molecule that seeks out free radicals that are spinning out of control and sets them right before they can do damage."

Review of Correct Eye Cream, Control and Restore | By Andrea @ I'm Not Obsessed! 10.01.08
"Here's what I loved about this cream:  it's packed with anti-oxidants, anti-aging ingredients, and skin brighteners, all in one package, and they all WORKED!!  Lots of times, I've found that products that multi-task don't always deliver on all their promises, but this cream lived up to its claims."

Your Best Face Control | By Marta Wohrle 8.19.08
"YBF has even made me a convert to argireline. I've always thought it rather pointless (freezing muscle movement and not much else). However, combined with the spin trap and matrixyl, it seems (if my forehead is anything to go by) to be having the desired effect."

August's Staff Favorite | By The Skin Care Shop 8.08.08
"Concentrated ingredients reverse the damage from environmental stress and pollution and provides enough of a barrier to seal in moisture but still allows the skin to breathe. Designed to help avoid and correct wrinkles to maintain a healthy, youthful look. This product is amazing! Treat yourself to a skin treatment that is truly WOW!!! We love this line of skincare!"

YBF Skincare Control Review | By Gus Fosarolli 7.03.08
"I will admit I was skeptical of the product, but I enjoyed using it.  I haven’t been using it as prescribed and have only been applying it in the mornings as part of my daily routine over the past 30 days. That being said I have noticed improvements in the overall appearance of my skin in the areas that I have been applying Control."

Best Anti-Aging Product for Dry Skin | By Mia Ottieri 6.22.08
"A unique component of YBF Control is its pleasant smell - almost like almond. The scent is not overpowering and actually made me look forward to putting in on. I’ve been using YBF Control day and night for several weeks. I have noticed smoother skin and a more even skin tone and have been very pleased by the feel and look of my skin."
