I have seen reviews stating that it burns within weeks. Does anyone have a positive experience with these post 2 months with moderate use?

Been in use for months....I've no complaints. Burning food is a result of not controlling the heat not the pan.

I have not had any problem with these pans and I've been using them for several months. They are probably not the best pans for ultra-high heat gas flame cooking, but are perfectly fine for electric cooktops. They clean up beautifully. I really could not be more pleased with this set. It's a great price for very good quality.

3 meals were made in the skillet and the food was ruined as well as the skillet. Went in the trash!!! Horrible purchase an I got this for someone as a housewarming gift. Felt like a fool.

TBH, I cook more with cast iron, but I've used my set to reheat soups and such for several months now and have had no issues. Purchased to replace a non-stick set, I really wasn't expecting much because of the price, and I'm pleasantly surprised by how well they perform and clean up. Don't forget to pick up some product like Barkeeper's Friend and they'll look brand new in seconds.

I've been using my set since December 2011. It's June 2015 now and I haven't had any problems using them with my gas cook top. This has been my primary cook set so I've spent a lot of time cooking in them. I did get a little food burned into my big pot trying to make popcorn over a super hot camping stove but it's slowly going away. I plan to make a video review with scrambled eggs and popcorn demonstration sometime.

The majority of the posts are positive. However, a few fuss about "breakage" and/or the heating element dying out after a couple of uses.What model is yours? I am begining to comprehend the proper uses and the best recipes, but "model numbers" are not given with the posts.MML

Hi I used it a couple of times and it gave a nice warm glow. I tested it and found that it was able to keep a person warm for several hours. I had trouble a couple of times when I lit the heater. It was probably because I was a green horn just hadn't used it before. I think it is a great buy. Frostbyte45

I tended to overuse at first. But if the gel squishes up onto my gums, I get pretty bad irritation/ burns. I didn't have that problem with the more 15% gel. After doing that once and having to wait a good 2 weeks for my mouth to totally heal, I used it much more sparingly. I can get two treatments, usually, sometimes a little more if I don't do my molars (no one really sees them anyway).

That's the reason why I bought the product and also the reviews were great. I didn't see any results within the two month period. Everyone has different skin types, so it's going to be a hit or miss. I hope this helped you some.

I've tried it 2x a week and there was still no appreciable difference. It simply never worked for me. But I believe they try to space out the treatments so you don't burn your skin. Using it you do smell the singed hair, so there is a burn-effect. It never actually burned my skin though, even if I used it again the next day. (And I do have sensitive skin.)

Not something I had happen; follow the instructions to season it- should help. Burned clean and left very little behind besides the normal effects of being a smoke box- some discoloration on the walls etc but thats what I'd expect

I just used 20% salicylic last night on my face and the white frost appeared around my mouth only. This morning it still burns and is darker in color, not to mention dry. I'm a little freaked out by the discoloration. Will try to update results. If anyone has had this happen would love to hear results!!!

Usually one year but mine had a bad burning smell after the third day and it took them forever to get back with me. I wanted to know if there was a fire hazard, a recall or if it was safe to use . It took 5 unanswered phone calls. I returned it the next day thru Amazon. They called me after I had returned it. Take your chances and good luck.

I used them one year ago and had sensitivity for up to 2 days after each application; so I'd wear them every 3 days. I think they work if you can get past the sensitivity. This year I had the same sensitivity issue and I actually only got the nerve to use 2 strips - maybe I'll try the rest in the near future. Trying a new toothpaste now which whitens without sensitivity. I'll post a review of the whitening results after my 3 month trial - no sensitivity though!

My pain is in the back and hip joints. I have had some in the knees and used it there. It went away for me. I have been using the unit since December 4 2014. In the past 5 days I can now go to bed and go to sleep after a year of waiting for the burning paining to cease and relax sometimes for an hour. I can only say that it has worked for me. Living with pain is wearing on the nerves. I would recommend to try it. I had someone tell me they had used the light on her horses for injury for 15 years and knew it worked for them.

From my experience, the burning/stinging sensation is so minor and lasts only a few seconds. This is from my usage experience. I have not applied the product on an open wound, cracked, dry skin, etc.

The parafin wax does not seem to be affected much by time in my experience. I have had great success despite having packages open for many months. These older cubes lit and burned without issue.

Honestly, I just came back from Puerto Rico, and I definitely used it!!! I didn't burn, but did get much darker. It's really up to you.

Yes I have. I have a sensitive face when it comes to UV exposure. I always burn in the cheeks first. When I used this Phoenician in the tanning bed, I burnt no more than usual. As for just everyday use, it was a little greasy for my skin.
