It contains full sizes of the following:

• 24/7 Barrier Balance Cream 1.5 fl.oz./45mL 
• 2-minute Reveal Masque 2.5 oz./71g

Here is a before and after as seen on the website:

One thing that is interesting about this line is that the cream is applied BEFORE the serum. That I don't really understand, as it goes against everything I have ever learned about skincare. However, the directions are clear, once a week use the 2 Minute Reveal and Daily use the 8-in-1 BioSerum and 24/7 Balance Cream. But use the Balance Cream before the BioSerum. 

Twice daily after cleansing apply 2 pumps of the Balance Cream onto fingertips. While skin is still moist, lightly massage with fingertips over entire face (avoiding the eye area). Wait 30 seconds and then apply the 8-in-1 BioSerum. Place 1 pump of serum onto fingertips. Then lightly massage first around eyes, then over entire face. Use a second pump on neck and and décolleté. Follow with sunscreen during the AM. Suitable for all skin types. 

1-2 times a week, use the 2-Minute Reveal Masque after cleansing. Dry skin thoroughly and apply a dollop of masque about the size of a quarter to face and jawline. Using dry fingertips, gently massage masque in a circular motion for 20 seconds or less depending on skin sensitivity. Avoid eye area. Wait 2 minutes. With moistened fingertips, massage until crystals are completely dissolved. Rinse Face face thoroughly and follow with 24/7 Barrier Cream. Do not use on skin that has active acne, skin that is sensitive or skin that has abrasions. 

I tried the products for a couple of weeks and although I was not able to see the full range of results as listed on the website, I definitely noticed that my skin looked and felt better than it had prior to use, especially regarding with tone and fine lines on my forehead. I do have the beginnings of fine lines on my forehead and some dehydration in that area. This trio helped to make the my skin look better by decreasing the fine lines somewhat. As I don't suffer from as many issues as the person in the photo above, it wouldn't be as visible. My main complaints are hyperpigmentation which takes a little bit longer to see results with. This person has significant fine lines and wrinkles. 

For me the mask was pretty nice, as it has enzymes such as papain and pumpkin ferment, as well as lactobacillus extract (which is good for the skin's natural microbiome). In just two minutes it reveals a nice smooth complexion. This kind of exfoliation is good to use at least once or twice a week to keep the dead skin cells from building up and allowing the rest of your skincare to penetrate better. 

The 24/7 Barrier Balance Cream has a ton of ingredients in it, so I cannot go into all of them here. But I will go into some of the major ones. Safflower oleosomes deliver powerful moisture to the skin, as does shea butter. Macadamia nut seed oil is rich is antioxidants and essential fatty acids. Yeast extract reduces oxidative stress on the skin and has a calming effect. Hyaluronic acid acts a humectant and adds 1,000 times its own weight in water, pulling moisture from the air to the upper layers of the epidermis. 

As for the 8-in-1 BioSerum, it also has a lot of ingredients but the most important one is niacinamide, which brightens skin and acts to regulate sebum production. Glycerin is a humectant that helps to moisturize the skin, adding moisture deep into the dermis. Sinorhizobium meliloti ferment filtrate is an anti-aging agent that helps thin, fragile and damaged skin help support daily aggressors of the environment. Phospholipids contain high amounts of linoleic acid and help the skin to produce ceramides. Defensin molecules help to rejuvenate the skin in a short period of time; resulting in brighter looking skin, improvement in age spots, fine lines and wrinkles and better skin tone. Sodium hyaluronate is a form of hyaluronic acid and helps to bring moisture into the skin. 

I would definitely recommend this line based on the ingredients list and the results seen, if you want to spend that much. The price drops with an account. Granted it is expensive skincare. Sometimes you have to decide whether the skincare is worth it. It does have a money-back guarantee if you are not satisfied. You have 30 days from purchase to decide if you are happy or not and may return the products. At this price they want to make sure are satisfied.
