Copper & Skincare: Osmotics Eye Firming Complex with Copper Peptides

June 11, 2019 · Leave a Comment

We obsess over collagen-promoting skincare. Collagen-boosting Vitamin C serums are the Holy Grail of anti-aging skincare. But Elastin is also very important. Elastin keeps skin firm and resilient. Copper builds Elastin *and* Collagen. Plus it has a host of other anti-aging benefits.  But you don’t find skincare with copper just anywhere.

Copper Peptides are the key to enhanced elastin and collagen production.  Blue Copper 5 is a Copper Peptide. It is a key ingredient in the Osmotics line, including Osmotics Copper Firming Eye Complex.

COPPER IN SKINCARE: Beauty Buzzword or Beneficial Beautification Must-Have?

Copper has been known to promote wound healing for some time. More recent studies show copper has exceptional anti-oxidant properties.

To effect skin improvement, a copper peptide must be used. The amount of effort to create these copper peptides generally puts copper skincare products at the mid to high price point within anti-aging skincare.

Copper is not just the latest skincare buzzword. It is backed with several clinical studies to support its’ value within both skin and hair care. [1]

What Copper Does For Skin

Copper enhances collagen *AND* elastin production.

Copper works with Hyaluronic Acid. It increases hydration and calms redness even on sensitive skin.  When paired with Hyaluronic, they increase and retain skin moisture especially well. Copper also helps the body promote Hyaluronic Acid. We lose Hyaluronic Acid as we age, so this feature of copper is a big get.

Copper also fights oxidative damage, a big factor in signs of aging. Finally, copper peptides remove and replace damaged collagen. Copper Peptides are powerful enough to get Vitamin C and Retinol level results but without the skin irritation associated with said topicals. [2]

How do these copper benefits enhance this eye complex cream? Osmotics Copper Firming Eye Complex fixes crepey fine lines on the delicate eye skin. These fine lines start to appear in our 30s and turn into full-fledged crow’s feet. Copper peptides stop fine lines in their sneaky tracks by firming eye area skin.

Just a tiny bit leaves my orbital area skin soft, supple, and glowing. It is not sticky or greasy, it absorbs nicely into the skin. It never stings or irritates my sensitive eyes.

 


Bonus feature: eye makeup goes on smooth and stays put.

I love pairing Osmotics Copper Firming Eye Complex with home light therapy device treatments for extra firming of eye skin contours.

Osmotics Cosmeceuticals have several copper-based treatments and we hear talk of a haircare product range featuring copper.

The Good Chemist LET’S BE CLEAR DUO: Skin Care For Adult Acne with Wrinkles

April 4, 2019 · 3 Comments

We recently discovered The Good Chemist. This beauty brand focuses on using only targeted, effective, clinically proven ingredients. This post takes a look at The Good Chemist’s answer to adult acne. Adult acne is a big problem. I thought by the time I got fine lines that I’d long be over acne. Instead, I have wrinkles and acne. We call it Wracne. And wracne is complicated.

TEEN ACNE VS ADULT ACNE
As a teen, I took the scorched earth approach to blemishes. I slathering my face with drying topicals to soak up the excess oil and dry the blemish to smithereens. And I scrubbed with acne washes. But this is too harsh on adult skin and makes wrinkles look so much more pronounced. What is even worse, is some of the moisturizers we use for wrinkles actually exasperate acne.

ADULT ACNE IS A JERK
Adult acne also tends to be cystic acne, and cystic acne pimples are little jerks. Cystic acne forms deep in the skin. Red, large, and painful, cystic acne is hard to conceal and can last for weeks. They are difficult not to poke and prod, and deceptively deep. Cystic acne can leave dark mark that lasts for months, even if you didn’t squeeze, pick or irritate it.

The Good Chemist is an adult approach to acne. It uses only ingredients that treat both wrinkles and acne.

ABOUT THE GOOD CHEMIST

The Good Chemist was founded by a skin care obsessed female chemist. The brand uses only independently tested, clinically proven ingredients in all their formulations.

The Good Chemist keeps skin care simple. Using many products can cause product interaction that irritates the skin. The Good Chemist uses only a few well-designed products that perform exceptionally.

While you do good for your skin, you also help girls dreaming of becoming scientists. Every The Good Chemist bottle you purchase contributes $1 to STEM education programs.

ABOUT THE GOOD CHEMIST LET’S BE CLEAR REGIMEN

This duo is for treating adult acne without sacrificing proper anti-aging skin care.

CLARITY

The Good Chemist Clarifying Duo addresses the hard to tackle adult acne with Clarity.

Clarity combines two acids that purge debris and oil from pores. Salicylic works deep in the pore and glycolic acid clear the surface.

Together, they eradicate pimple-causing ingredients. This eliminates the ability for a pimple to form, even deep cystic acne. Kaolin mattifies, dries out excess oil and existing blemishes without drying facial skin. Cucumber, seaweed, and aloe soothe skin so acne doesn’t appear dry and flaky, which makes it easier to conceal. Meanwhile, Vitamin C and peptides reduce post-breakout inflammation.

I find that Clarity is surprisingly tolerable even with daily use. Glycolic also works as an effective anti-aging peel ingredient. Salicylic acid also promotes collagen production. So if you have to get adult acne, this ingredient combo makes the most out of it.

RADIANCE REPAIR

Radiance Repair is the second product in this duo. It is a Vitamin C serum for adult acne with signs of aging. Does Vitamin C Serum leave your skin irritated and itchy? You aren’t alone. Radiance Repair Serum has two forms of Vitamin C, both are non-L-Ascorbic based. L-Ascorbic Vitamin C is the effective, cheaper yet irritating kind. Radiance Repair contains the other kind of Vitamin C, a stable, non-irritating variant.

Radiance Repair reduces acne inflammation and fades acne scars. Vitamin E makes old acne scars softer and more pliable. A very grown-up sounding peptide Oligopeptide 68 balances melanin production. This supports the ability to fade discoloration.

Radiance Repair also contains soothing Aloe Vera.

OUR EXPERIENCE

We had a chance to try two of The Good Chemist Regimens targeted at our specific skin concerns: anti-aging and adult acne.

THE GOOD CHEMIST ANTI-AGING TRIO

The Good Chemist Trio addresses signs of aging for face and eyes. We love the Youth Boost

The Good Chemist Anti-Aging Trio addresses signs of aging for face and eyes. We especially love Youth Boost for an instant softer, dewier, younger-looking skin.

YOUTH BOOST

If we had to pick just one product from The Good Chemist lineup, this would be it.

We love the effect of applying the Youth Boost because the hyaluronic acid instantly erases the appearance of wrinkles and crinkles on the skin, and makes pores practically invisible.  I feel like Youth Boost instantly knocks a decade off the appearance of my eye area, face and throat, even in unforgiving lighting situations.

It is not greasy or sticky and does not irritate the skin. Most importantly, it layers well with other products. I use Youth Boost layered with my moisturizer, sunscreen, primer, foundation and powder, and experience no pilling of products as can occur with some serums.  I especially like how it softens the eye area without giving a fake expressionless look to the skin. It has long-acting anti-aging benefits from the peptides and antioxidants. It includes one of my favorite peptides, Matrixyl-3000, which jumpstarts collagen production, tricking the body into “repair mode”.

TIP: You are gonna want to slather this on, but it really only takes one pump worth to do the trick.

RENEW BALM

Renew Balm is a 1% Retinol intended for use around the delicate eye area. It is applied nightly. While 1% is a relatively lower dose of Retinol compared to a Retin-a or Renova prescriptions, this dosage is highly suitable for the thinner eye area skin in order to keep it from becoming red and irritated. Even the highly emollient Renova can be too much retinol for the eye area and must be used with caution.

To boost its’ efficacy, it is combined with Matrixyl-3000 to smooth and plump, and Shea butter and jojoba to soothe the skin. This combination provides the best firming and smoothing combo without being overly aggressive on the eye area.

RADIANCE REPAIR SERUM

Does Vitamin C Serum leave your skin irritated and itchy? You aren’t alone. Radiance Repair Serum has two forms of Vitamin C, both are non-L-Ascorbic based, with is the irritating type of Vitamin C. These two vitamins C’s gentler to the skin but still highly effective in fading discoloration, largely due to the inclusion of Oligopeptide 68, which regulates the production of melanin.

Radiance Repair also is far more tolerable for those of us with sensitive skin because it contains Vitamin E and Aloe Vera.

 

Do you have adult acne? Stay tuned for our upcoming post on The Good Chemist Let’s Be Clear Duo, a targeted treatment for both adult acne and anti-aging.

Time Travel Skincare: Morganna’s Alchemy 10 Years in 30 Days Treatment Kit

August 7, 2018 · Leave a Comment

The other day I came across a picture from late 2007 (back then we called them pictures, not selfies.) I didn’t like the picture at the time, so I’m surprised I didn’t delete it immediately. But now, I would give my left arm to have the supple, plump, glowing, collagen-rich skin I had in that picture.

Fortunately, I get to keep both of my arms thanks to Morganna’s Alchemy 10 Years in 30 Days Treatment Kit. This innovative kit targets the major signs of aging and leaves beautiful, youthful skin. It isn’t a radical treatment regime, it is just you, but better. Ten years ago better.

While you had me at the promise of taking ten years off my face in 30 days, I have to wonder how exactly that’s going to happen. Well, we tried the kit ourselves and I am pretty impressed both with the approach and the products.

And you can try it too, enter to win your own free Morganna’s Alchemy 10 Years in 30 Days Treatment Kit in our giveaway. See the Style Chicks Instagram for details.

Want to know what makes Morganna’s Alchemy 10 Years in 30 Days Treatment Kit special? Read on!

THE PANIC OF LOOKING OLDER THAN YOU WISH TO LOOK

A certain benchmark birthday prompted me to buy and use all the anti-aging things at once. This overkill plan backfired, too many products all at once were too rough on the skin. There are many effective, fantastic products to target very specific concerns, such as wrinkles and fine lines. But in all likelihood, after the fine lines are addressed, one won’t suddenly be mistaken for once again being a high school student.

Youthful skin is more than just the absence of these signs of age. And capturing this elusive reversal in skin time requires addressing what is actually making skin look, well, not young. And it isn’t just your crows feet. This is where Morganna’s Alchemy 10 Years in 30 Days Treatment Kit comes in.

Four Products for four targeted skin objectives

Four Products for four targeted skin objectives

WHY Morganna’s Alchemy 10 Years in 30 Days Treatment Kit WORKS

Morganna’s Alchemy 10 Years in 30 Days Treatment Kit is different than the way I thought of anti-aging skin care, but now that I have used it, I can see why other specific, targeted skin concern products couldn’t accomplish the overall appearance of youth. Despite all that I look at my face, I didn’t really understand what made me look older. I couldn’t see the forest for the trees, so to speak, and I focused only on the individual manifestations of age. That approach is shoveling against the tide, and at best leaves one looking not actually younger, but “good for their age”. I hate that phrase. Morganna’s Alchemy 10 Years in 30 Days Treatment Kit addresses both the source and the symptoms of aging skin.

This approach has an excellent success rate on targeted concerns including skin hydration, pigmented spot reduction, skin tone, skin firmness, texture, and a reduction in roughness, redness, enlarged pores, lines, and wrinkles.

WHEN AND HOW DID I STOP LOOKING YOUNG? AGING SKIN IS SNEAKY

When one thinks of aging, do you think wrinkles? Sagging? These are factors, but not entirely what makes us look older. Morganna’s Alchemy addresses the four chief factors of aging skin. The biggest factors are discoloration and roughness from sun damage, environmental pollutants causing dullness, and *THEN* crepey skin/sagging and wrinkles. The worst amongst them is sun damage and the resulting discoloration and rough skin patches. A whopping eighty percent of what ages the face. YIKES.

Want proof?

Have you seen Anthony Cerniello’s “Danielle“?  It’s an artists’ simulation of a female gradually becoming older over time, the real aging of the face occurs when the discoloration and dullness happens, not the gray hair or the wrinkles. You will notice she has some drooping, binasal folds, and undereye bags, even when her face was young. Notice the big change in tone and texture by middle age.

The discoloration makes the face seem harder and sterner, doesn’t it? And the dullness makes her look so tired. The skin tone, redness, and rough patches belie age more than the wrinkles.  If she used just a wrinkle cream, would she look much younger to you?

DISCOLORATION AND DULLNESS: HOW TO LOOK OLD ON PURPOSE

When makeup artists’ “age” a young actor for a movie role to make them look old, they emulate aging with applying discoloration into the contours of the face and obscure the natural vibrant look of young skin. Even wrinkles look older because of the discoloration in their valleys making them appear deeper and more prominent. So they “paint on” what sun damage and environmental factor do to skin over years of time.

So we need to stop THAT from happening ASAP. That is where Morganna’s Alchemy 10 Years in 30 Days Treatment Kit comes in.

HOW Morganna’s Alchemy 10 Years in 30 Days Treatment Kit WORKS

APPLICATION

The directions on the back of the box are simple to follow.

Apply Steps 1 and 2 in the morning before makeup, and Steps 3 and 4 in the evening before bed. The smell is natural but dissipates, my makeup went on smoothly over the products without being oily, tight or tacky. Both morning and night my skin feels and looks smooth and hydrated. I like how it makes my skin appear immediately – soft, dewy and supple.

Directions

THE FOUR PRODUCTS

STEP 1 Beauty Starts With Even Skin Tone

Morganna’s Alchemy Step 1 is to even the skin tone. The product is designed to protect the skin from sun radiation. This step alone makes a surprising difference. I hadn’t realized how much discoloration I got overtime on the top of my cheekbones and on the cheek area below the eyes, lots of little freckles and spots that made the overall contours of my face seem not like my own face. The collective impact of all those tiny discoloration spots was an overall darkening on what should be the lightest part of my face. It was as if I applied contour or bronzer where there should be a highlighter.

Sun damage causes spots, lack of firmness, and roughness. It does this with a gentle but effective natural ingredient: Lingonberry Stem Cells.

HOW DOES IT WORK? Lingonberry stem cells increase natural antioxidant mechanisms of skin cells and decrease skin irritation and inflammation, a fantastic combo when seeking to remove unwanted discoloration and get your natural skin tone back. Lingonberry is a “superfruit” rich in vitamins C and E, both excellent for repairing *AND PREVENTING* sun damage on the skin.

RESULTS: I find this product is far more gentle to the skin than other products geared towards discoloration. It does not sting or irritate my skin, even when used with other Morganna Alchemy products. My skin is not dry, itchy or peeling, but the discoloration looks much better. While I have been a sunscreen devotee since my twenties, one cannot fully escape the effects of sun damage and I am excited to see some discolored areas on my cheekbones fading.

Step 1 addresses the ravaging impact of sun damage, reversing old damage and helping to prevent new damage

Step 1 addresses the ravaging impact of sun damage, reversing old damage and helping to prevent new damage

STEP 2 Radiant Skin

You probably have seen gray-haired women with plenty of wrinkles and while you wouldn’t mistake them for 20, they still look younger than their years. How? Likely, their skin is vibrant, glowing and not dull. No amount of highlighter or dewy makeup trick and fake the vibrant glow of youthful skin.

Step 2 is designed to protect skin from environmental damage. It is applied once Step 1 dries down. It goes under makeup.

HOW IT WORKS: Environmental damage makes skin dull and sensitive, which leads to redness and inflammation, which in turn, makes one look older still. Fortunately, skin can recoup from environmental damage if given a chance.

RESULTS: Step 2 is a light gel that serves as a protective shield all day while it repairs and refines the skin, allowing it to get its’ glow back. I have always considered my skin sensitive, but now that I have had Step 2 as a protective barrier on my skin, I think it is more likely that my skin was aggravated by environmental irritants.

Step 2 provides a protective layer to the skin to shield it from environmental damage

Step 1 and Step 2 address issues you may or may not have realized are making skin older. Step 3 and 4 address target areas you may already be treating but may wish for better results than you have achieved to date.

STEP 3 Youthful

If you pinch your skin, what happens? Young skin snaps right back, older skin takes a bit longer. When our skin lacks moisture and loses collagen it becomes deflated, resulting in a sluggish sort of crepiness and sagging.

While there are plenty of skin-friendly ingredients in Step 3, the star of the show is Platinum, which binds to the peptide ingredients and helps them penetrate into the deepest skin layers. It is this layer where sagging can be repaired by these peptides that boost collagen production. Any collagen you can get helps, but most topicals can’t reach this deep of a skin layer, so their results are superficially helpful but not so great for reducing sagging. The deeper active ingredients like peptides can get into the skin and make collagen, the better. Once you can get hydration and peptides deep enough into the skin to re-plump or re-inflate from the lost moisture and restore the collagen, it firms up quick, sagging skin becomes up to 40% firmer in one month.

RESULTS: Skin does quickly seem more hydrated and supple. I would not have thought of myself as having dehydrated skin but I can’t argue with how much more supple it looks now. Extra collagen production gets better and better over time, I am 14 days into my 30 days as of now, and I am excited about this Platinum plus peptides collagen producing combo!

Step 3

Step 3 promotes deep skin level collagen production to meaningfully reduce sagging

STEP 4 DefyAge

DefyAge tackles the issues you can likely see on your skin right now, enlarged pores, redness, fine lines.  It minimizes the appearance of all of the above using Elfe Flower and Red Rose Wine to thicken skin. These anti-oxidant powerhouses not only make the skin less subject to new wrinkles but reduce large pores and redness.

RESULTS: Redness around the nostrils, and eyes sneaks up on you, and does make one look older. The idea of thickening the skin is wonderful to not only help old wrinkles but to prevent new ones.

Step 4 promotes collagen production to meaningfully reduce sagging

Step 4 also promotes collagen production and helps skin combat fine lines

CONCLUSION

So that is our impression and overview of Morganna’s Alchemy 10 Years in 30 Days Treatment Kit. What a kit! This is an easy to use system, with all-star ingredients, combined into highly effective treatments for impressive results that restore a youthful glow, remove sun damage and give a healthier look to the skin. It is effective without irritating or drying the skin, my skin was soft during the entire process, not peeling, red or irritated. It addresses skincare needs that I didn’t even realize I was missing and the result is hydrated, soft skin that looks like my skin, but lovelier and younger.
