Retinol Serum by Body Merry Review

I've been using Pro-A Retinol Serum 

by Body Merry. 

Here's what I think of it:

  The first thing I noticed upon receiving this serum was that it looked super thick in the bottle! Like, syrup thick! It wouldn't even move in the bottle, so I was a little worried! Its not as thick as it looks, its actually more of a gel and sticks to the bottle really well. I would almost call it a gel-serum because it doesn't have the normal consistency of a serum.

 
  Speaking of the gel-like consistency, this serum really melts into your skin. All you need is a pea-sized bead on your finger to apply to your whole face. It doesn't run like some serums and it doesn't sit on your skin. It has a slight scent, but it doesn't have a "fragrance" so you won't notice it during or after application. As usual, Body Merry's packaging is easy to use and seals tightly to keep the serum fresh.


  Ok, kiddies! Quick education time! Where is Bill Nye when you need him?
Retinol is a vitamin A derivative that reduces the appearance of fine lines and deep wrinkles. Retinol signals your body to produce collagen and new cells for firmer and smoother skin while also reducing hyper-pigmentation and clogged pores.

  Anyway. What I love about this is that it contains more than just retinol. Retinol is awesome, but it can irritate your skin and take a long time to see results. With Body Merry Pro-A Serum, you see results quickly. You'll notice your skin retains moisture better and your skin tone starts evening out quickly. After using this for a couple weeks, my skin feels moisturized longer and I've noticed that I've had less breakouts than usual.

  I have not seen a drastic reduction in fine lines or wrinkles, but retinol isn't something that works immediately. If you're interested in this product for wrinkles or fine lines, I'd recommend using it for 10-12 weeks before deciding whether it works for you or not. I'll update on my fine lines in a few weeks after I've given the retinol a chance to work its magic.



Don't forget Body Merry's products are backed with a 90 Day 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. If you don't like this serum, just contact them and get a full refund. You don't even need to return the bottle!



If you're interested in giving it a shot, or you want to read more about it, or you just don't trust my judgement... 
You can find it on Amazon.

Hyaluronic Acid Serum by Body Merry Review

Recently, I tried a Hyaluronic Acid Serum by Body Merry and I wanted to provide a review.





 In case you don't know what Hyaluronic Acid is, let me give you a break down. Hyaluronic acid is naturally present in the human body. It is the "cushion" in your joints. Think of it as the oil for your engine, if that helps you picture exactly what it does for you. Its everywhere in your body, eyes, lips, skin.

And its even used in lip injections!

I have to say that I was pretty impressed with this serum. It has great ingredients (like vitamin C and green tea). Used alone, it is probably great, but used with a moisturizer, it is amazing. 

  I spend most of my time indoors in dry air. No matter how much I moisturize, it seems like a few hours go by and my face feels really dried out again. I started using this hyaluronic acid serum before I use my moisturizer and I haven't had any problems since! Its as if it extends the life of my moisturizer. My skin feels and looks amazing all day.

  This serum is easy to get into the dropper, easy to smooth on your skin, and it has a really light smell that doesn't linger on your face. It doesn't take a lot of serum to cover your face, so a bottle lasts a long time. I love the packaging as well.

We all know blue bottles are my favorite ;)

  I did notice my skin had a healthy glow, whether that is from all the wonderful ingredients in this serum or whether it was from my skin staying moisturized, I don't know. I will say that if you live in a dry climate or have skin that just doesn't want to hold moisture, this should really help you.  



  Don't forget Body Merry's products are backed with a 90 Day 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. If you don't like this serum, just contact them and get a full refund. You don't even need to return the bottle!

Dr. Song Rosehip Oil Review

I've used several different oils, but I've never used rosehip oil before or anything from Dr. Song. I've never even heard much about rosehip oil before, so this has been a learning experience all around for me.

 A bit more about rosehip oil and then I'll continue onward to my review. 

I want to make sure to provide some education on rosehip oil because I'm sure a lot of you haven't even heard of it before.

A quick Google search reveals that "rosehip seed oil is full of vitamins, antioxidants and essential fatty acids that are known to correct dark spots and hydrate dry, itchy skin, all while reducing scars and fine lines."

Digging deeper, I found that rosehip oil is extracted from the seeds of a wild rose bush. 

Rose hip seed oil is high in the essential fatty acids linoleic acid (omega-6) and linolenic acid (omega-3). In case you (like me) are curious about everything on the planet,

 rosehip seeds look like this:

Digging even deeper, I found that you can use rosehip oil for a ton of different things like:

• Pigment reduction
• Healthy nails
• To get shiny hair
• As a hot oil treatment for dry hair
• Moisturize and nourish dry skin
• Dandruff
• Scar reduction
• Sunburn
• Anti-aging
• Improved complexion
• Dermatitis
• Acne
• Eczema

So, now that we've all learned something, back to my review.
I'm pretty impressed with the quality of this rosehip oil because just about everything has SOMETHING added to it. Dr. Song's rosehip oil has no added oils or scents, it's USDA certified and it's organic. It doesn't stink, it doesn't smell unpleasant, and it doesn't have perfumes. If you are sensitive to fragrances in other oils, this is a great product for you.

I love the bottle that this comes in. Maybe I'm a sucker for blue glass bottles, but I think the blue glass coupled with the silver label is simple, pretty, and classy. I suppose the only negative thing I can say about the packaging is that it is so simple that it doesn't really include much information. The label tells you about the rosehip oil in general, but doesn't include any instructions, tips, or helpful uses. You'll have to turn to the internet for that. The bottle has a simple dropper, and pretty much anything that you only use a few drops of has the potential to last for a really long time, so the value is great.


My absolute favorite thing is how many different uses there are and I'm still discovering more uses. I've been using it for my acne scarring and mixing it with my nightly moisturizer.
I usually apply it directly to my scars in the morning. I've noticed that my scars appear lighter after a few weeks and I can only hope it will continue to improve the longer I use it.

At night when I go to bed, I mix a few drops with my moisturizer and apply to my whole face. My skin retains moisture much better and seems to have what I would consider a healthy glow. My fine lines even seem to be fading a little as well. If you're looking to use this as an anti-aging product, don't expect immediate results. From the information I gathered, you should use rosehip oil twice a day and you'll see results after a few months. It takes time for your skin to repair.

Even though this is an oil, it doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy and my skin hasn't been oily outside of my usual T-zone oiliness. This is a real plus for me because anything that has an oil in it usually makes me break out or it makes my skin oily. I haven't had any problems with this at all.


Bottom Line: Dr. Song's rosehip oil is great quality and a good value. A 4oz bottle should last a really long time, the price per ounce is comparable to other brands, and most other brands come in smaller sizes. It is effective for many things without having the negatives that come with other oils. I would recommend it and I will be continuing to use it myself.


If you want to try it for yourself, you can find it on Amazon.

Body Merry Eye Cream

Today I am reviewing an Eye Cream by

 Body Merry

I've had amazing results after just one use, which is possibly one of the corniest things I've ever said.... but this eye cream completely eliminated the visibility of the fine lines under my eyes on the first application. I have regularly used and tried all types of beauty products to try to combat aging and I have never had anything provide such viable results with the first use. My skin is obviously going to age, but I want to be able to have my skin as healthy as possible and maybe even look younger than I am. I don't ever expect miracles out of skin products, so it is a rare occasion when I'm really impressed with something. I don't have crow's feet, but I have high hopes that this eye cream will help fend them off when the time comes.

I love so much about this product that it is hard to find a place to begin.

The pump bottle is really easy to use without getting too much or too little of the product. The simple label/packaging and the satisfaction guarantee shows that the eye cream can stand on its own merit without needing any gimmicks or flashy graphics.

It has a light scent that isn't really pleasant or unpleasant. Its not a scent that I would wear as a fragrance, but it also isn't a scent that would make me avoid using the product. Its hard to explain, but it doesn't smell BAD. The cream isn't greasy or oily and it absorbs quickly. The ingredients are absolutely amazing! When they say "70+ power packed ingredients", they're NOT kidding. This eye cream has over half of the beneficial skin ingredients that I can think of. It has reduced my fine lines, helped with puffiness and dark circles, firmed my eye area, 

and it's given my eye area a healthier look and texture.

If you want to give this product a shot and see if it can do the same for you, 

you can find it on Amazon.

Body Merry Cellulite Cream Review

Today I'm reviewing a Cellulite Cream from Body Merry.






This cellulite cream has a very definite gel-cream texture. I honestly am not fond of the appearance or smell of this. I imagine that if I took jello and mixed it with pudding it would look very much like this cellulite cream. Not really a deal breaker or even a serious negative, but it isn't what I would ever imagine a cream would look like. I was expecting more of a creamy texture... like a thick lotion. It smells like menthol and has a distinct "medicine" smell. Its not especially unpleasant, but it definitely doesn't smell good. The smell does linger in the air for a little while after applying, but (thankfully) the scent doesn't seem to stay strong on my skin.

Once you get past the appearance and smell, this product is actually really great. It absorbs quickly like a gel, and doesn't leave you feeling sticky or greasy/oily. There is a slight cooling and tingling feeling when you're applying it. Its almost refreshing and invigorating.

I've been using this for about 2 weeks now and while I can't say that I've noticed a reduction in cellulite, my skin is much smoother and firmer. Even if I never notice a reduction in cellulite, this firms and moisturizes better and faster than most skin firming creams and lotions I've tried, and at a lower price than many other brands. I love my skin texture when I use this and I will continue using it just to have that texture. My skin feels soft, smooth, and firm. It makes me feel so soft and feminine, even my husband has noticed!
To sum it up: You'll notice a huge improvement in your skin, even after the first time you apply it, I'm just not sure you'll notice any change in cellulite.

If you're interested in giving it a try, you can find it on Amazon.

InstaNatural Eye Gel Review

InstaNatural Eye Gel

I absolutely love the smell of this eye gel. It has a wonderful cucumber scent that isn't overwhelming or underwhelming, 
it's just the perfect lightness.

 The gel is easy to apply and doesn't feel greasy. I love that you use it on your eyes, cheeks and forehead (per the instructions), but you can also use it on your whole face if you choose. It makes the product more well rounded and more useful in my opinion. I'm sure we've all had days where we were out of moisturizer or misplaced it and wished something else would work for the moment.

The first thing I noticed when I applied this gel is that it has a cooling feeling. It glides on really smoothly and easily like you would expect from a gel. I noticed firmer skin under my eyes and my eyes looked more refreshed overall. It helped with the dark circles and diminished the fine lines that I am beginning to notice as I get older. Where this eye gel really shines is reducing puffiness. You can see results rather quickly from this product compared to a lot of other products that are supposed to reduce puffiness. If you're having a stressful week or not getting much sleep, this product works great for making you look more alert and refreshed.



I would really recommend this product. It reduces puffiness rather quickly (almost instantly for me) and has been a real life saver when I've had sleepless nights and needed to look my best.

InstaNatural Vitamin C Serum

Review: 

InstaNatural's Vitamin C Serum

I love this serum! It has a great scent that I can only describe as "citrusy" and I would even categorize the orange color as a "citrusy color". The smell and color together is downright cheerful. The scent isn't super strong and it is very light and delicate on your skin once the serum is absorbed. The ingredients in this serum are nothing short of amazing. Its like it has a little bit of everything in it to address all your skin concerns in one little blue bottle.

A little bit goes a long way, you only use a couple of drops for your entire face so it should last a long time. I know that I get frustrated with many products because I run out of the product right around the same time I start seeing results. That shouldn't be a problem with this serum.

This serum isn't at all greasy and doesn't feel oily on your skin even though it contains many oils. It left my skin feeling soft, smooth, firm and looking MUCH healthier. I've noticed my skin tone is more even, my skin is much smoother, and I've had less breakouts. I've been using this after using the InstaNatural Vitamin C toner and I'd definitely recommend using these together. They compliment each other well and seem to really work together to make your skin healthier. You can read my review on the toner HERE

I will definitely be keeping this serum in my daily skincare routine. It has replaced several other products that I used to use because it is more of an all-in-one rather than being for one specific problem.If you're looking for an all-in-one serum for Fine Lines, Wrinkles, Sun Spots, Age Spots, Oily Skin, Overall Skin Health, and/or Skin Discoloration, this is your best bet.

Foxbrim Youthful Radiance Eye Cream

Foxbrim Youthful Radiance Eye Cream Review

This eye cream is fast absorbing and has little to no fragrance. It absorbs completely and doesn't feel the least bit greasy. There are so many great ingredients in this eye cream that I am happy about and I love that the ingredients are organic because I don't like damaging my skin with chemicals when I'm trying to improve it. With grapeseed oil, vitamin C, Aloe Vera, jojoba, and rosehip seed oil, it has some of the best and most effective natural ingredients for your skin.

I would honestly recommend this to anyone that is just starting out with a skin care routine or looking to improve their overall skin health. If you're using moisturizers, eye creams, and serums for the first time this product might be perfect for you. People new to moisturizers will probably notice fine lines diminishing from the lotion. People with more established fine lines that have used moisturizing or anti-aging products in the past probably won't see much of a change in those lines, but your skin should look healthier and more radiant over time.

I can't say that I noticed any "youthful radiance" after using this, but I haven't used it long enough to see the long term results. What I can say is that it is a great moisturizer, it does reduce the appearance of bags under your eyes as well as tighten the skin, and it has a ton of great ingredients to keep your skin healthy.

If this is something you want to try out, you can find it on Amazon.

Naturalico Cellulite Cream Review

Today I'm going to do a review on Naturalico Cellulite Cream.

There are some pros and cons to this product. 

Upon opening, you'll notice that the cream is more of a gel-cream and it is a bit runny, which is unexpected for the type of packaging in my opinion. The upside to this is that under the lid is an additional piece with a tab that both keeps it from leaking or spilling and is really easy to remove. 

The smell is quite strong in the container, but it isn't as strong on the skin. I wouldn't really consider it unpleasant, but it isn't a scent that I would wear as a perfume either. It reminds me of a menthol-citrus blend. 

 The product itself is rather pleasant.
There is a slight cooling and tingling feeling when you're applying it. Its a little refreshing,
and I really like that the fragrance isn't as overpowering once it is blended into the skin. 

I can't really say that I noticed any change in cellulite, but I will say that this product makes your skin feel firm and incredibly moisturized. Even without any cellulite reduction, it is well worth the money for the incredible skin texture it leaves you with. I've tried many other lotions and creams, but I have to say that I love the way this makes my skin feel.

If you want to give this a try, its totally worth it for the silky smooth, firm, and hydrated skin it gives you.

InstaNatural Vitamin C Toner Review

Today's review: 

InstaNatural Vitamin C Toner

This toner has a seemingly pleasant citrus smell until you spray it in your face and then it is instantly overwhelming and hard to breath. You'll instantly start waving your hands around to fan the smell away or start dabbing at it with something in hopes that it will help with the smell. It doesn't. The good news is that the smell diminishes once it's absorbed... either that or your temporarily lose your sense of smell. Either way, you stop smelling it soon after spraying it on your face. I have no idea what everyone else is talking about when their reviews say the smell is pleasant and refreshing. I'm not going to lie to you. It is completely awful once you spray it. Just a heads up for everyone.

Now that I have that out of the way, I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this toner. There's so much good about this product that the eye watering smell can't even diminish my 5 star review. I love InstaNatural products and I think this is one of my favorite products of all time. This instantly tightened my pores. It did not just reduce the appearance of my pores, my pores instantly snapped shut tighter than they've been since I was 20 years old. My skin looked at least 5 years younger after just using this ONCE. After using it for just over a week, my skin has a more even tone and looks healthier. I'm excited to see if my skin will continue to improve over time with this product.

I didn't really notice any real moisturizing from this product, but I have noticed that my skin isn't as oily. Over the years I've developed an oily T-zone and I'm happy to say that its almost entirely gone. The only time I notice any oil is if I don't use this vitamin C toner before I go to bed, and even then it is minimal.

One of the other really great things about this is that it comes in a good sized bottle that will last a really long time. So not only does it work great, its also a great value. If you have oily skin, large pores, or want a toner that improves your skin and skin health, you can't go wrong with this. I would recommend this any day to any one.
