Body Merry Retinol Surge Moisturizer Review



  I love Body Merry and this retinol moisturizer is great like all their other products. I haven't used it long enough to get any results from the retinol, but it has been a great night cream for me. I have seen a reduction in fine lines, plumper skin, and I am positive that I will keep seeing results the longer I use it.




  The packaging is a simple pump-top bottle that comes with a stopper to prevent leakage during shipping. The label is a really pretty purplish-red color and I love it. It may be my new favorite color. I even love the name "Retinol Surge Moisturizer". It just sounds cool, don't you think?


 This moisturizer has 2.5% retinol, but it also has several soothing and hydrating ingredients like aloe vera, hyaluronic acid, green tea, and shea butter. The extra ingredients help a lot of offset any dryness or irritation that you could normally have from using retinol, as well as giving your skin a little boost themselves.




 This is also thicker than most moisturizers. It leans more toward being a cream than being a lotion. I have been using it as more of a night cream than a day-time moisturizer because of its thickness and because retinol works better at night (fun fact: retinol is a form of vitamin A which degrades in light). If you like thick moisturizers it would work just as well during the day time, but I would recommend introducing it to your skin care regime at night first, just to see how your skin reacts to the retinol.









  Although it has a thick texture and can take a few minutes to absorb, it doesn't leave your skin feeling oily, sticky, or greasy. It moisturizes wonderfully and gives your skin a plump look and a silky feeling. It also has a really light, pleasant scent that doesn't linger long after you apply it so you won't be smelling it all day.



  Bottom line: This is a great moisturizer for day or night. The extra ingredients that Body Merry has included make this a powerhouse moisturizer with or without the retinol. Even though you're not likely to see results from the retinol in under 12 weeks, you'll see results from the hyaluronic acid and shea butter quickly. If you don't like the product and you don't see any results, Body Merry offers a 90-day satisfaction guarantee, so you can get a full refund.

Body Merry Stretch Mark & Scar Defense Cream Review




Today I'm reviewing Body Merry's 
Stretch Mark and Scars Defense Cream.







  This stretch mark and scar cream comes in box with a small tub-like container with a twist off top. The great part about the packaging is that it has a foil seal under the lid so when you first open it, you don't end up with a glop of cream on the lid.









   This has a TON of great ingredients to help keep your skin soft, smooth, supple, and moisturized. The ingredient list (copied from the description) includes Organic Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter, Vitamins E + C + B3 + B5, Sunflower Seed Oil, Plant Stem Cells, Organic Hemp Seed Oil, Organic Jojoba Oil, Evening Primrose Oil, Raspberry Seed Oil, Avocado Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Organic Gotu Kala, Algae Extract and Japanese Green Tea Leaf Extract. All of these ingredients are super good for your skin by themselves. Together they're basically like a skin multi-vitamin!






   The cream itself high quality like all Body Merry products. It is very thick and rich. It spreads onto your skin easily and absorbs quickly. You'll immediately notice how soft and silky your skin feels. It really improves your skin texture and leaves it more supple, so it will prevent new stretch marks. I haven't noticed any real improvement or change in my stretch marks or scars, but that doesn't actually bother me. This product is well worth its price as a moisturizing cream. I've used farm more expensive creams that have given me far less. This cream will even soften coarse skin on your elbows, knees, and feet.








  I'm not very fond of the smell. It kind of smells like lotion mixed with menthol, with a little bit of medicine cabinet smell thrown in for good measure. On the upside, the smell doesn't linger on your skin, so you're not going to walk around smelling like a medical facility.



 All in all, this is a great moisturizing cream that will effectively help to prevent new stretch marks. It could possibly fade existing stretch marks and scars, but that hasn't been my experience so far. I'll keep trying it and see what my results are long-term. If you want some seriously moisturized skin that has the best texture you've ever seen, this will not let you down.

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

InstaNatural Stretch Mark & Scar Cream Review



  I've never really been a big believe in stretch mark creams or scar creams.
  I recently tried this "stretch mark and scar cream" and I'm starting to change my opinion.
  I didn't notice any immediate results on my stretch marks or scars, but I did immediately notice how great it made my skin feel. This is probably better than just about any lotion I've ever used. My skin felt so silky after using it.









  It's very lightly scented and the scent lingers for a while. It's also light enough that it won't interfere with any fragrance you choose to use. The pump is also really easy to use. It isn't messy at all, and doesn't distribute too much lotion when you pump it.

  I love that it has so many great ingredients that are good for your skin. The ingredient list is pretty much amazing. I'm not going to list everything here, but the ingredients that are my favorite are vitamin C, rosehip oil, aloe vera, mango butter, and cocoa butter. There are so many other great ingredients in it as well.






  After about 2 weeks of using this, I noticed it helped to fade some of my smaller stretch marks to the point where they were barely noticeable. I don't know how well it will work for larger stretch marks or scars, but it does help with small, fine stretch marks and scars for me. I'm going to keep using it and see what happens.



If you're looking for a stretch mark/scar cream, you might want to give this a shot.  
InstaNatural backs their products with a Lifetime Money Back Guarantee, no matter where you buy their product. If you're not satisfied, simply contact them and get a full refund.

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.

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.
