I.Lublin Anti-Wrinkle Serum

· Leave a Comment

A serum that targets fine lines & wrinkles around the eyes, lips & forehead using a Peptide that is clinically proven as effective as Renova.

GOT WRINKLES?

Discovering emerging fine lines and wrinkles can be very disconcerting. Often the sign of eleven lines (the lines between the eyebrows) or smile lines send some women (and men) straight for the Botox injections. But don’t rush off just yet: a safe and effective route to wrinkle reduction is a quality serum packed with anti-aging ingredients. Wrinkles are often a result of a loss of collagen and they look even worse with dehydration or dryness. One serum we like that can tackle both of these wrinkle-causing problems is I.Lublin Anti-Wrinkle Serum.

ABOUT I.LUBLIN ANTI-WRINKLE SERUM

This serum contains natural botanical ingredients including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to nourish and improve your skin. The moisturizing formula fills in fine lines or wrinkles to reduce signs of aging, leaving skin with a beautiful glow.

Many products can temporarily improve the appearance of wrinkles, but what about long-term improvement? We read about the ingredients before use to see if a product is worth using on the face. I.Lublin Anti-Wrinkle Serum contains several quality ingredients that together are a great team in your wrinkle reduction line-up.

INGREDIENTS

This I.Lublin Anti-Wrinkle Serum contains many ingredients found in proven, high-end anti-aging products. Amongst them are select peptides that are the over-achievers of the anti-aging ingredient arena.

PEPTIDES: The I.Lublin serum contains two Peptides that stimulate collagen production. One of them (Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-14) is found to be very similar to the effects of Renova. The Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology (Feb 2009) says that this peptide can “stimulate cell migration, collagen synthesis, and fibroblast proliferation and scaffolding.”  In regular people speak, these are all the skin functions that when underperforming due to age, cause wrinkles. According to studies comparing Renova to this peptide, the peptide was found to be “equal to or more effective than Renova® cream in regard to therapy for fine lines and wrinkles of the periorbital region.”

Renova retails for $100-$150+, which in my book, makes this serum a steal just for the inclusion of this one particular power-Peptide. Hexapeptide-14 also creates a brighter and more refined skin texture.

Other anti-aging, skin friendly ingredients in this serum include:

  • Rosehips are a highly concentrated source of Vitamin C, the primary building block in collagen production. Collagen builds the scaffolding and structure of the skin and keeps it from sagging.
  • Dead Sea Salt stimulates blood circulation and calms skin irritation and skin redness. It also contains several minerals that nourish skin.
  • Grapeseed Oil is highly nourishing to the skin, providing the necessary building blocks for collagen production.
  • Argan Oil is a trending ingredient in hair and skin care as it both softens and nourishes the skin
  • A Retinol Ester (Vitamin A) helps lighten age spots and discoloration, improves skin texture and helps reduce the darkness inside a wrinkle, so it appears less deep. Also helpful for adult acne.
  • Goji berry (Lycium Barbarum Fruit Extract) is an antioxidant that softens the skin
  • Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil is a non-greasy oil high in linoleic fatty acid, and Phytosterols which are protective, aid in skin recovery and retain moisture.

APPLICATION & USE

Apply to skin after washing, while it is still slightly damp. Apply a thin layer to the skin using small circular motions to help it absorb. Focus on the eye area, the area around the lips and the forehead.

It is intended for night time use, so apply your nighttime moisturizer over the serum for best results.

RESULTS

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: My skin feels SO silky that I want to keep touching my face! Skin quickly drinks in the serum, and it fully absorbs within a few minutes and does not leave a greasy residue. My skin texture and tone looks even like I have an optical blurring filter on my skin, but it still looks like my skin, not fake. Wrinkles appear blurred. I applied a light moisturizer afterward as instructed, and my skin looked dewy. There is no stinging or irritation.

NOTE: Only a thin layer is needed, I used two pumps total for my eyes, face, and throat, and had a little left over for my collarbone

AFTER CONTINUED USE: Due to the 21-day skin cell turnover cycle, for the Peptides to do their job, they must be used daily for at least 30 days to see results. So use the serum every evening for a month to assess improvement. I did see results faster than a month, with a softening of expression lines before the actual cell turnover occurs.  I have used pricey Renova in the past, but I was particular impressed with the I.Lublin Anti-Aging Serums’ ability to tackle fine lines around the eyes and mouth area, and the softening of fine lines on the forehead. The skin around my eyes looks softer and younger now, and the wrinkles and fine lines are not so noticeable. I also find my undereye concealer is not settling into these fine lines as much, which to me, makes me think they have improved in texture and depth.

I am particularly impressed with the results around the lips/mouth area. My mouth area appears more aged than the rest of my face, showing fine lines and dryness, as well as enlarged pores and uneven texture. This area has been resistant to most anti-aging serums. Injections and fillers around the mouth can have such varied results; it is a treatment option I would prefer to avoid as long as possible. So I am very pleased to find a product that can address aging and fine lines around the lips and give a natural, younger look.

PACKAGING

The I.Lublin Anti-Wrinkle Serum has bright, colorful gift wrap with a bow. Anyone who expresses concern over wrinkles likely is searching high and low for a solution. The gift wrap makes for a great gift for a special friend who wants to safely improve the appearance of aging and wrinkles on their skin.

CONCLUSION

Before considering injections or procedures to reduce the appearance of fine wrinkles and lines, invest in a quality serum that can best enhance collagen production, treating existing wrinkles and preventing new ones, as well as make skin more refined and soft. I.Lublin Anti-Wrinkle Serum moisturizes skin while providing nourishment to the skin to help it become soft and supple again. It is especially effective around the eyes, lips, and forehead; it helps tackle some of the most aged skin areas of the face for a much more youthful look.

End “You Look Tired” with Belli Eye Brightening Cream

· Leave a Comment

“You look tired.”

Seriously, what are people *thinking* when they say this?

Well, usually, they are noticing the skin around your eyes looks haggard and the bags are dark and puffy.  Strike back at the rudest frenemy line in the book with an excellent brightening cream. We recently got to try a good one: Belli Eye Brightening Cream.

FIGHT THE “YOU LOOK TIRED” LINE WITH VITAMINS K & B3

Vitamin K has long been used to lighten dark circles under tired eyes. Vitamin K helps with blood coagulation and circulation. Since both damaged skin and poor circulation can increase the appearance of dark circles, topical application of Vitamin K can reduce the appearance of darkness around tired eyes. And there is probably no time that eyes appear more tired than during pregnancy and when there is a newborn in the house. Belli Eye Brightening Cream was created for new Moms and Moms-to-be to combat tired looking eyes with a brightening cream that works.

ARE YOUR DARK CIRCLES UNRESPONSIVE TO MOST EYE CREAMS?

Belli designed this cream as safe for new Moms, but anyone with tired and dark under eyes can benefit from Belli Eye Brightening Cream, as it contains Vitamin K and B3, both of which improve all kinds of dark circles including those caused by a lack of sleep. But this Vitamin super-duo also addresses a tougher to treat kind of dark circle, the kind I got: dark circles due to leaking capillaries. The capillaries under the eye slowly leak, and the pool of blood absorbs into the eye tissue and gives it a dark brown look, like a bruise.  There isn’t much to do about it but strengthen the tiny vessels and lightens the darkness that has already occurred. Belli Eye Brightening Cream can address both problems.

WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT BELLI EYE BRIGHTENING CREAM

I’ve been through my share of dark circle treatments and creams in my day, and have a drawer full of concealers that didn’t work. While many creams offer some benefit in reducing the puffiness of the undereye area or giving a smoother appearance, few address the actual darkness or cause of darkness: the blood vessels leaking or experiencing impaired blood flow which gives the appearance of dark undereye skin. So I was excited to use this cream. A 2004 study in the “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology,” showed that topical Vitamin K was most useful at dark circle reduction and brightening when paired with other ingredients like Vitamin B’s. Belli Eye Brightening Cream has this brightening combo of ingredients and then some including:

  • Vitamin B3 is Niacinamide. It is the hot new anti-aging ingredient of late and for a good reason: this collagen promoting skin brightener addresses a loss of elasticity and reduces redness. An effective brightening and lightening tool all own its’ own, when paired with Vitamin K, it results in brighter and firmer skin.
  • Arnica decreases bruising, swelling, inflammation
  • Green Tea reduces puffiness, is anti-inflammatory, and is soothing
  • Cucumber is soothing and reduces swelling
  • Lactic acid is a popular form of AHA, or Alpha Hydroxy Acid, a powerful ingredient that reduces the appearance of acne and wrinkles. While Lactic acid can be harsh on the skin when paired with soothing ingredients and used in reasonable doses, it does not cause irritation while still being very efficient.

Other features:

  • Allergy tested
  • Gluten-Free and not tested on animals.
  • Free of paraben preservatives, gluten, phthalates, and artificial dyes or fragrances.
  • Safe for Moms and Babies: For expecting and nursing moms, Belli strictly avoids any ingredient, synthetic or natural, that has any known link or harmful effect during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

TESTING OUT BELLI EYE BRIGHTENING CREAM

INITIAL IMPRESSIONS: It felt cooling, soft and soothing on the skin. The scent is light and dissipates after application.

USE: The cream is emollient and blends well into the skin, and in my opinion, made for good base cream for a concealer. It did not appear greasy when worn on bare skin. My eyes were not irritated or watery after use. My skin stayed emollient but not greasy for several hours after application.

TIP: To enhance the cooling benefits, keep the cream in the refrigerator to make it extra cooling on contact and to help reduce and puffiness.

TREATING PUFFINESS AND SOOTHING IRRITATED SKIN: I had puffiness around my eyes that dissipated upon cream application, and some red, irritated skin along the bottom of one dark circle, there is a small eczema patch there, about the size of a pencil eraser tip. I had used an AHA peel the night before, so the eczema was red. That spot seemed soothed by the cream, and the redness eased off during the day, with the redness subsiding to about the size of a pencil point. It did not sting the skin.

RESULTS

With daily use, my eyes began to look less tired, wrinkles are smoother, and the eyes appear lifted. Collagen production takes about a month with any product, but Vitamins B3 and K are a great combo to build collagen and other supporting structures. The result is firmer, brighter skin. It does this while reducing darkness under the eyes and the overall look of the eye is much brighter, and the skin looks firmer.

CONCLUSION

If you look tired for whatever reason, including being a new Mom, Belli Eye Brightening Cream Eye Cream can brighten and firm the skin while smoothing wrinkles and improving the condition of the skin to look bright-eyed and bushy tailed. If you have tried a Vitamin K gel or serum in the past with limited results, consider the dynamic duo of Vitamin K plus Vitamin B3 to get superior results than what can be achieved by Vitamin K alone.

Get your Glow Back with Insta Natural Pro-Radiant Skin Brightening Serum

· 2 Comments

Dull skin is a telltale sign of aging. The radiant glow of youthful skin cannot be duplicated well, even with the best makeup tricks. An excellent tool in combating the appearance of dull skin is Insta Natural Pro-Radiant Skin Brightening Serum.

GET YOUR GLOW BACK

Skin loses brightness as we age and start to lose collagen. A good topical Vitamin C Serum will help supplement this collagen loss and slow down the appearance of wrinkles and sagging, but more is needed to reverse the impact sustained from reduced collagen levels. Some issues include removing age spots and discoloration, reducing the depth and appearance of existing wrinkles and addressing that “tired” look that older skin can have.

WHY USE INSTA NATURAL PRO-RADIANT SKIN BRIGHTENING SERUM?

Insta Natural Pro-Radiant Skin Brightening Serum contains powerful ingredients, some of which are typically only found in expensive products. By pairing the tried and true Vitamin C and Hyaluronic duo with Niacinamide and Alpha-Arbutin, skin is nourished, made brighter, and discoloration lightens. This builds more collagen to stop future aging as well as reverses the appearance of aging that has already occurred.

INGREDIENTS

Vitamin C: Topical Vitamin C application provides the building blocks for collagen production where it is needed – at the dermal level. Daily Vitamin C application is an all-purpose solution to aging, adult acne, wrinkles, and good looking skin overall. Vitamin C is most effective when paired with other ingredients.

Hyaluronic Acid holds a massive amount of moisture, instantly making the skin appear plump and dewy. Hyaluronic Acid on a wrinkle or enlarged makes it plump out and appear to almost fade away. Hyaluronic Acid also helps the other active ingredients sink deeper into the skin for a superior result.

Niacinamide is a skin-restoring Vitamin B; it improves the appearance of enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, fine lines, and dullness. Niacinamide also addresses the effects of environmental damage on the skin.

Alpha-Arbutin is a skin lightener that is effective on all skin types. It suppresses unwanted pigmentation but does not kill pigment-producing cells. Alpha-Arbutin can lighten liver spots, acne scars, and discoloration. This gives a more natural overall skin tone because you are not replacing a too dark spot with a too light one, it just removes the excess pigment. Medical studies show it to be very effective and safe.  Alpha-Arbutin is just as effective as hydroquinone without the side effects. It lightens discoloration faster than kojic acid. In studies, there were visible results in about a month. Alpha-Arbutin is a costly ingredient and typically found only in expensive products. This ingredient alone makes this serum a far superior daily Vitamin C serum.

APPLICATION

The product comes in a one-ounce bottle and has a natural coloring of bright salmon pinky-orange color. It is not greasy in texture, and once it dries down, it does not feel tacky or sticky on the skin. If it feels sticky, you have used too much.

There is a light citrus scent that I noticed in the bottle but not after application.

After a few minutes, I follow with a moisturizer and let that dry down. The moisturizer is essential to allow the Hyaluronic to bring as much moisture to the skin as possible.

I really like that my face does not feel sticky, which is notable amongst day-time Vitamin C serums. This works underneath my sunscreen without a problem.

RESULTS

Skin looks immediately dewy from the Hyaluronic Acid, wrinkles appear less deep, and pores appear smaller. After a few weeks, I noted lightening of older acne scars and a persistent age spot seemed somewhat faded. Expect to see a meaningful lightening of discoloration after a month of regular use.

CONCLUSION

An exceptionally well-priced product for what it delivers, Insta Natural Pro-Radiant Skin Brightening Serum not only sacks wrinkles and fine lines but provides a safe, effective means of lightening discoloration without altering the natural pigmentation of the skin tone. Skin appears brighter and more even in tone, aging brown spots fade and wrinkles, and fine lines seem less deep. The product is not sticky or tacky on the skin, so it is suitable for daytime use under your moisturizer and sunscreen and any makeup.
