I am thinking, since it is organic....it can't be too bad right????!!!
Soooooo....I went on to get the Sensitive Skin Kit + Intensive Organic Eye Cream with Haloxyl + Eyeliss
which cost me USD44 (no longer available in the website). In order to make it free shipping to my comgateway address, I added Moisture Lite Light Hydrating Moisturizer which cost USD29. Please note that the Blue Green Algae Toner comes with the kit is missing in this picture =P
The Sensitive Kit consist of (extracting from the website):
Cleanser - HONEY AND OAT gentle deep pore cleanser completely removes dirt, oil, makeup and other impurities without stripping the skin's natural moisture. Oat Extract deep cleans and Honey adds back moisture. Rinses thoroughly without residue leaving skin feeling clean, soft, smooth and refreshed.
Scrub - Tropical Fruit Scrub Hydrating Exfoliant Naturally fruity refreshing skin treatment that uses the power of Papaya and Pineapple Enzymes as a mild non-irritating exfoliant to remove dead skin, impurities and toxins without irritation caused by scrubbing. Exfoliates, moisturizes and firms, improves elasticity and pliability of the skin, unclogs pores allowing skin to breathe and facilitates movement of skin oils.

Rich in vital nutrients, trace elements and amino acids, blue green algae and organic kelp in a base of soothing aloe vera juice penetrate deeply into the skin to speed the elimination of toxins, promote cellular renewal, naturally nourish and remineralize the skin. Also contains black willow tree extract recognized for thousands of years for its healing power and fresh, warm, spicy tea tree oil a powerful immune stimulant to help fight infections and promote clear skin. A huge favorite, customers love this toner for its antibacterial formula to help improve problem skin.
Moisturizer - Citrus Cream Moisturizer DMAE - Hyaluronic Acid Blend A light, cream moisturizer infused with essential oils of sweet and mandarin orange, tangerine, lemon and lime.Hyaluronic Acid and DMAE work synergistically to achieve a radiant and healthy looking complexion by restoring optimal moisture balance and visibly resurfacing skin texture to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and enlarged pores.

Mask - Charcoal Detox Mask Detoxifying Facial Mask When environmental toxins, dirt and debris get under your skin, pores get clogged and skin looks dull and lifeless.This gentle purifying mask especially for dry, mature and sensitive skin types uses mineral rich charcoal to draw out impurities and toxins and clear the skin of excess oil, dirt and other pollutants.

Eye cream - Intensive Organic Eye Cream with Haloxyl + Eyeliss INTENSIVE Organic Cream Eye Treatment with Haloxyl® and Eyeliss® is a cutting edge advanced treatment for the care of the delicate skin of the under eye areas and eye lids. Ninety percent organic, INTENSIVE treats each and every aspect of eye aging and does so with only the best of ingredients.

Comes with a new soothing, gentle massage tip applicator to break up puffiness.
Moisturizer (not included in the kit)- Moisture Lite Light Hydrating Moisturizer It's a myth that people with oily skin don't need to moisturize. Dermatologists recommend a lite moisturizer particularly if your skin care routine includes oil-busting products. Moisture Lite is a soothing hydrating lotion formulated for individuals with normal to oily and combination skin types for whom regular moisturizers are not suitable. Non-greasy. Absorbs completely without clogging pores. Soothes and moisturizes where skin is dry while controlling oil and shine.
Overall experience of this kit is DISAPPOINTING!!!!!!
Background of my skin: big pores, oily, sensitive = redness, recently some adult acne around my chin.
I have finished up the toner and the cleanser....I don't see any sign of impact on my skin and I used both moisturizers concurrently in the night and although it claimed to be light, it is actually quite oily after I applied it. I am not sure if it is due to the weather in Singapore???? ): The scrub smell like doughnut which is nice and very gentle but same as the cleanser...nothing big deal. I think I hate the moisturizers the most among all the products.
I have been using Dermalogica product for about a decade and it had really helped to control my acne for the past few years. Whenever I used a new Derma product, I can actually see some impact on my face....which I don't see that in Michael Todd. But the great thing is ...it never break me out.
As this is not a very expensive brand, you can buy and try it for yourself and since it is organic...I guess it is quite safe (:
