As a man, I really liked their hair products and face cream from the collagen line. The cream has nice texture and good moisturising
With shampoo my hair was fresh longer.

I started using their hair care line for PCOS-related hair loss on my ND’s recommendation. Their shampoo, conditioner and hair mask really helped to reduce hair fall in the shower. I didn’t notice as much new growth though. I had to combine other methods with their products to see new hair growth (minoxidil, dermarolling, and rosemary water to name a few). Overall, very happy with how clean and effective their products are!

I purchased the face mask, oily-free line for my family. The entire system works well(We've used the entire line before). I'm trying their other skincare products, I'll let you know the progress.

I am so happy that Dr. Meso exists! I am a Transcendental Intuitive Healer and former aesthetician and was looking for Europian wisdom purity in self-care products that would be Canadian, Organic, Homeopathic with supplements and prices that are moderate for the quality it brings. Easy protocols and deep penetration of fine formular - I just LOVE it! Well thought!

Been using Mr. Meso products for over two years now. Love the fact that they are made in Canada. After regular use, my skin is glowing and completely acne free. As of today, my favorite go to are detox mask and collagen night cream.

Last week I went for a skin treatment and was recommended the Liftox Cream by Dr. Mezo. I was impressed by the effect of this cream. It provides supreme toning, lifting, and moisture to my dull saggy skin. In addition, it comes in a box with a pleasant soft touch. I could not believe that it was made of recycled paper. It was very easy to take the jar out of this nice double wall box. The jar itself is so beautiful, like a jewel. It has a pump which makes it very convenient to get the cream without sticking my fingers into the jar. I would highly recommend this product if you like to get a good cosmetic effect and aesthetic pleasure.

The Dr. Meso acne free cleanser and toner have helped clear my acne and control my oily skin without drying it out! The cleanser is very gentle, yet effective and the toner is very refreshing! Liliana was very helpful in suggesting products and offering knowledgable advice. Can't wait to try other products in the acne free line!
