I-Max Stem Cell Cream

Stem Cell is an ingredient often mentioned in the discussion of anti-aging skin care products. These Stem Cells kick-start and assist in collagen production, so they are especially useful when paired with a Vitamin C serum or a Retinol product.

Personally, I like to team this Stem Cell cream with my Vitamin C Serum and use it after a peel. The reason I like to use it with my Vitamin C serum is the kind of stem cells in this cream, which are from Gardenias, are geared towards collagen production AND the protection of existing collagen. This Gardenia based Stem Cell is almost exclusively found in very expensive creams. This works nicely with the Vitamin C production caused by my Vitamin C serum. I also like to use this cream the day after a peel to help my skin rebuild and to stay hydrated and protected.

APPEARANCE OF SKIN AFTER APPLICATION
It does smooth out surface wrinkles and dryness on contact and makes skin appear dewy. It feels good to slather on a whole scoopful and massage the skin, but actually, only a small amount is needed. Allow adequate time for dry down before applying sunscreen or makeup. There is an excellent protective barrier that is not too thick or greasy, but it is useful after a peel or sunburn to protect the skin.

It is an open mouth jar, so I like that it comes with a little spatula so that I can keep it contaminant–free. And the small amount on the spatula is all I need for my face, about the same amount for my throat.

SUPPORTING INGREDIENTS
In addition to the Gardenia Stem Cells, there are several supporting ingredients.

Aloe Vera, Shea Butter, Jojoba and Sunflower Oils help to soothe and moisturize skin.

Retinol works with collagen production.

Propolis is a bee by-product, or “bee glue” that bees use to seal honeycombs. So a heads up if you are allergic to honey, this may not be the product for you. But Propolis is great in anti-aging skin care to heal and maintain skin.

CONCLUSION:
An emollient cream that soaks into the skin and provides a hydrating protective barrier suitable for teaming with serums and for post-peel use. The gardenia stem cells provide a unique triple collagen increasing approach that is especially difficult to find in an organic cream.
