Niacinamide Moisturizer Cream by InstaNatural Review #InstaNatural

As I get older, I realize how important it is to take good care of myself both inside and out. Recently I was given the opportunity to try Niacinamide Moisturizer Cream by InstaNatural. All creams have claims that I want to be true, but most do not hold up. Or if the claims do hold up, they only last a few hours and then they are gone again.

Naturally, when I first started to use the Niacinamide cream, I was hesitant to see any results or have them last. Even so, i was still willing to try. Here is what I found:

After 1 use: My skin was noticeably soft and smooth. It left an all over even tone to my skin without a heavy or greasy feel, although it is a little sticky feeling when it dries.

After 1 week:  I noticed that skin under my eyes appeared a little brighter. My skin was noticeably soft, even after washing my face. My skin tone was still even after using the product.

After 2 weeks: My skin is still feeling soft all day long and my dark circles are definitely less dark! Even with just using just a teeny bit of product each time.

After 3 weeks: The difference is visible. I am not talking about looking ten years younger. The results that I am seeing are clearer, smoother, and healthier looking skin on my face. The dark spots are not standing out as drastically and there is a nice healthy glow to my skin.

After just a few weeks of use, the  Niacinamide Moisturizer Cream is holding up to my test.

Ageless Derma Anti-Aging Intensive Skin Brightener

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

As I age, I am always looking for ways to decrease age spots and add a little extra glow to my skin. I recently was given an opportunity to try Ageless Derma Anti-Aging Intensive Skin Brightener and was very excited for the opportunity.Once I received the product, I was ready to start testing. I popped open the classic looking black box and went to work.

The bottle itself is a nice size 1 fluid ounce bottle. I appears to look more like a jar, but it actually has a very unique airless pump on the top. You just push down on the top and a large pea sized amount it dispensed. It is easy enough to dispense with just one hand and is kind of fun to use.

The lotion has a light taupe hue to it. Don't worry though. It will not add color to you skin. It is light weight and has a light scent that has a subtle floral hint. When applied it absorbs quickly and leaves your skin feeling soft.

Some of the  Ingredients:

-NET-DG-Licorice Root: A natural anti-inflammatory agent that is extracted from the licorice root. It is natural for those with sensitive skin and takes it easy yet effectively on your skin problems. NET-DG works to inhibit the destroying effects of Hyaluronidase activity, enzymes that destroy connective tissue in your skin.

-BV-OCS: Is a form of natural vitamin C that is a powerful whitener, anti oxidant and collagen protector. It has been found to reduce synthesis of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color, by 80% It works to protect the skin's cells from UV damage that can cause wrinkles.

-BioWhite: Is a plant complex, made up of mulberry, grape extract, saxifrage, and Scutellaria. It inhibits tyrosinase activity, the body's producer of melanin which makes up the skin's pigmentation.

-Belides: It is a skin whitening agent found in nature that will ensure a more even pigmentation of your skin. 

-Alpha Arbutin: Fights against skin aging and hyper-pigmentation.

After using the product for a little over two weeks, I did not notice any drastic fading of dark spots. I did notice a slight change in color so I know that if I continue to use the Ageless Derma Anti-Aging Intensive Skin Brightener, I will see more results.

The Ageless Derma Anti-Aging Intensive Skin Brightener did leave my skin soft. Even when I first tested a small spot on the top of my hand, I could feel the softness. Over all, I really liked the way the product made my face feel after it was applied. The longer I used the product (applying both morning and night) the softer my skin stayed throughout the day.  I love the fact that I could add a little softness and a touch of glow wiht a quick and easy one step process.

Lancôme DreamTone #bareselfie #DreamTone

Disclosure: I received a complimentary product from SheSpeaks/Lancôme to facilitate this review.

 

For the last several years, I have been searching for the perfect product for my face. I love some of the new advances, but I dislike others. 

First, let me start with a little bit about the product. "DreamTone is the next generation in dark spot correction. This customized skin tone correcting serum is so powerful, 72% of women dare to bare their skin.* The new DreamTone is 3 barely-tinted serums formulated to visibly correct dark spots, color imperfections and give you a more even-looking skin tone. It comes in 3 serums customized for your skin tone: 1- Fair, 2 – Medium, 3 – Dark." 

Okay, enough about the product description written by the professionals. Now for the simple and to the point review of a not so gracefully aging woman. 

I will start with what you will see first. The Bottle. The bottle is very elegant in shape, size and color. The easy to hold triangular sharp is very classy looking and I loved it. The part that threw me was the lid. Here I am expecting to unscrew a lid and when I twisted, the top of the lid area popped up. Whoa! That means I will not lose my lid. Woo Hoo! 

On a more serious note, the serum is the perfect thickness and highly concentrated. Yes, I said highly concentrated. It takes very little of the Lancôme DreamTone to cover your entire face. It glides on smoothly and has a light feminine scent. In fact, the scent is very refreshing.

After two weeks of using Lancôme DreamTone serum twice a day, I am starting to see some results. I am getting dark spots as I age, but so far I can see some reduction in one of my dark spots. It is definitely not both dark spots and it is not drastic, but a start is not bad for two weeks of use.

I have noticed more even skin tone all over my face. I don't have blotchy skin that I feel the need to bury under gobs of make up. In fact, tucking the Dreamtone under my regular moisturizer and make-up, I feel that I need less make-up. I am looking forward to what the rest of the bottle will bring to me!
