Hey guys i just got IS today and i put 5 sprays in all on my neck and wrists,i feel no self effects(maybe a tiny little confidence boost) but thats it. I dont feel like grinning alot like people say the self effects do to them. Any idea why it isnt working for me? I see a bigger difference when i use A314 than this IS. ---

Is this the first time you are trying IS? You can build up an immunity, and should take a week or two off from phero’s a month. ---

Yes this is the first time im triying instant shine, i am now feeling a slight happy vibe and it seems to have worked on other people when i went to the optometrist. I just thought the self effect would be a bit more powerful, anyway all in all i am happy with this product 🙂 ---

How are you doing Alex? Pheromon’s main purpose is to effect others around you, the self effects is a bonus if any.however, to get consistent self effects everytime, I find that applying pheromrs after a good cardio session or any kind of intense activity produces good self effects. Honestly, this whole staying out of [pheromones](https://a314.com/) for a week or however long is based on opinion and assumptions. I used to apply pheromones everyday for couple of months and I get self effects everytime. Try it 🙂 God bless Joe ---

I never got any strong self effects from IS either. It’s one product I really haven’t found to do anything special for me. There can be only one explanation: People have always been happy as pigs in shit when I’ve been around, so of course I can’t tell any difference with IS. 🙂 ---

I’ve had limited self effects with it myself. Paired with A314 I’ve found to very nicely smooth the edges from a314 without killing the potency. But everyone is different. For some people, it’s like crack to them. ---

I just thought the self effect would be a bit more powerful, anyway all in all i am happy with this product 🙂 Enjoy it while it lasts. Most people build up a very quick tolerance to IShine (I myself, for example, built up a full tolerance in less than a week. Then again, I grow an easy tolerance to everything 🙂) Well, except [Ammo](https://a314.com/product/ammo/). I still get a mild confidence boost from that, but maybe cause I don’t use it often. ---

Do realize that while it may not be giving you self effects I would be willing to bet enough of the people around you will be getting the vibe from it to be useful regardless of self effects. I also don’t think mones are strong enough to completely change your mood for more than a few minutes if your grumpy, tired, stressed out. If you have a bubbly personality than IS is going to amplify that. If your calm and collected your IS effects may not be as effective personally. I believe you would get spaced out before you got a huge uplift in mood. I’ve tried using IS to help change my mood and it has never really effectively worked ON ME. It really is a more of a so fresh and so clean feel that I get more than a wooooo hoooo type feeling. but again thats just me.
