What is Truth Treatments and Why do I Love It?
I first met Ben Fuchs, creator of Truth Treatments Skin Care line at Gaia TV where I made him up for an interview. During that meeting, Ben gave me a few samples of Truth Treaments to try out on both myself and my clients. Having used countless skin care products, I was deeply impressed by how effective Truth Treaments is, and the quality of ingredients he uses. With only on average six to nine active ingredients per product, I noticed immediate improvement in my skin, and then decided to conduct a product review on YouTube. What are the specifics of Truth Treatments and why should you buy it? Here is a breakdown of each item.
Omega 6 Healing Cream
Omega 6 Healing Cream regenerates your skin’s own healing abilities and speeds recovery from severe dryness and skin damage. (Click here to shop) Designed to heal surgical wounds and burns, this cream is a rich hydrator and restores skin tissue using 100% active and functional ingredients. Premium lipophilic Vitamin C and Omega 6 fats work synergistically to soften and improve skin elasticity, balance and function. Refines texture, helps smooth scars, lines and wrinkles. I use this cream every week on one of the on-camera talent at Gaia TV where I operate as Makeup Department Head. Previously, when he would arrive in the makeup room with redness around his mouth, I would use Makeup Forever Green Primer and RCMA full coverage foundation to hide the redness with some success. Now, I apply the Omega 6 cream, let it soak into his skin, and then use regular foundation and the irritation is gone.
Truth Serum
Truth Serum comes in a dropper form, and by using one to two drops per application; it penetrates into the dermis to rapidly heal dry, chafed, and irritated skin. (Click here to shop) Anti-inflammatory plant extracts, nutrients and premium lipophilic Vitamin C repair damage, fade discoloration, improve skin firmness and tone. My favorite aspect about this product is not just that it’s the best anti-aging serum I’ve ever used, but also that I can use it around my eyes in place of an eye cream! In Ben Fuchs opinion, eye creams were created to make money for the skin care industry, not because the skin around your eyes needs anything different from the rest of your face or body. This makes me do a happy dance and reduces my total cost of products, while making my under eye area smoother than any eye cream I’ve ever used.
Truth Balm
Truth Balm moisturizes, smoothes and repairs signs of aging. Even the most damaged and sensitive skin will show visible change. (Click here to shop.)Restore and revive skin using 100% active and functional
ingredients with the Transdermal Delivery Matrix (TDM). It allows premium, lipophilic Vitamin C to effectively penetrate and work to reverse skin damage and discoloration. Truth Balm softens lines and wrinkles, promotes healthy tissue and collagen production, and restores a firmer, more radiant complexion. My biggest surprise with this product, as with the others, is the small amount I need to moisturize my face and neck. I use about half the normal amount, and get greater results in my skins hydration, even in winter.
Retinol Gel
Retinol Gel is an intensive, anti-aging and anti-blemish skin refiner that corrects damage. (Click here to shop) With proper use, you’ll see a difference in skin tone and texture within days. Retinoids help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and scars, and the regenerating 5% Retinol Gel’s potent blend of healing Vitamin C and exfoliating Vitamin A remove dead and dulling skin cells to fade discoloration, smooth lines and refine scars. With continued use, skin will look tighter, clearer and brighter, breakouts will dissipate and blackheads will dissolve. In my skin care routine, every month I get facials from my aesthetician, and every week I use Retinol Gel. As I look in the mirror, I feel I have taken ten years off my face in the past year and a half of doing this. In my opinion, it has been a worthwhile investment.
I hope this has been helpful for you to understand how Truth Treatments works, why you should use it, and why I am so unabashed in my recommendation of it to all my clients. Feel free to comment or ask questions at info@thebeautyshaman.com.

Hi Donna,
Thanks so much for your question, and my apologies for taking too long to respond. I wanted to do some research on this subject, and have subsequently contacted a company and am going to do a video highlighting their products. Your question spurred me into action! The line I recommend is called Osmosis https://www.osmosisskincare.com/Default.aspx Here is their platform: “Osmosis Pur Medical Skincare, Osmosis Colour mineral makeup and cosmetics, Elevate ATP & DNA Repair, Restore, and frequency enhanced water for wellness”. You will need to have an aesthetician approve your purchases (just see their website for info) as the products are medical grade. Check if their is a location near you, and go from there. In my opinion, this is some of the most organic and effective products for damaged skin! Please let me know if you have any more questions or how I can be of further help. And let me know how it goes! Warmly, Suzanne
I would like to know if this is 5% retinol or retinyl palmitate. As far as I knew 1.9% Dr Brandt product was this highest in the US as far as actual Retinol.
Hi Cara,
The Truth Treaments 5% Retinol Gel is made up of pure vitamin A. Here are the ingredients: Tetrahexydecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C), C12-14 Alkyl Benzoate, Medium Chain Triglycerides, Retinol (Vitamin A), Glyceryl Esters, Dextrin Palmitate. I hope this helps! The high levels of retinol in the product mean that you have to be careful how frequently you use it, as it can cause irritation.
How often to use the truth treatment trifecta, Morning and evening or only 2x a week.??
Thanks
Hi Karol and thanks for your question! I use the Truth Trifecta in the morning or before I apply makeup if I am going somewhere because the hyaluronic hydrator plumps up my skin immediately. The Transdermal C Serum is a fabulous serum that has long term benefits for your skin, so I use it daily in the morning or evening. I hope this helps! Please let me know i fyou have other questions, and feel free to use the code shaman20 for 20% off my store as a gift from me for writing in:)
Warmly,
Suzanne
Hello! I love Truth Treatments Vit C but hesitant to try the Omega 6 Cream because it lists essential oil in the ingredients. It claims to be fragrance free but essential oil can imply there is plant fragrance. Can you tell me if there is any detectible scent to this product and if so, what is the scent? Thanks so much for your help!
Hello, I have a badly damaged skin barrier which I believe is causing not only sensitivity, irritation, redness and extremely dry flaking facial skin but also causing some skin degradation especially around my mouth and nose! It’s devastating! I’ve been to many derms with absolutely no help, I’ve been trying different products which some just made it worse while others would seem to help for a short period. The most recent products I was using (and for the longest time frame) have been from DRMTLGY. They seemed to help for a few months, my skin was in the best condition it has been since this all started seemingly out of nowhere during the Covid quarantine but this past month has been terrible again! After doing my normal cleaning routine I woke to redness again with an indentation above my lip! I waited for this to heal before trying again with a much worse outcome so I’m now looking for a new routine to repair the damage, I was going to purchase Skinceuiticals gentle cleanser, hydrating toner, vitamin CE Fera serum, hydrating b gel serum and their triple lipid repair cream but after reading some unbiased reviews I’m not so sure. I’ve the entire Alastin triHex products which were super to be really helpful for repair and had a bad reaction, so I only used it once. The Truth Serum System sounds really interesting but I’m so nervous to try anything without some advice, can you please reccomend a great brand and products for repairing the skin barrier mainly while treating the dehydration, redness etc that would be safe for sensitive irritated skin with no fragrance or pentylene glycol (as natural as possible) please? I understand your not a doctor and I’m not asking for a diagnosis or anything close, just a recommendation for what I’ve explained. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
I sent you a detailed email, Cheri. I hope it is helpful!
