Petunia Skincare 1.0mm Derma Roller - Review

 

Today's review is Petunia Skincare's 1.0mm Derma roller.

  This derma roller has 540 stainless steel needles, a sturdy plastic handle, and a plastic case. Derma rollers can provide a lot of benefits including:

• No permanent damage to your skin
• Short healing time
• Stimulates collagen production
• Improves your skin's absorbancy of skin care products
• Reduces cellulite, fine lines, and wrinkles
• Helps improve the appearance of scars
• Promotes pore reduction
• Gives you visibly tighter, smoother skin

  First, let me just say that this was really scary for me. I'm totally up for trying new things.... but the thought of piercing my skin with a roller full of needles was terrifying.I had mental images of blood, puncture wounds, and pain. After many false starts, I finally worked up the courage to use it.

  I was impressed by how easy it was to use. It didn't really hurt, just a little stinging during and after, and I didn't bleed (yay!). Since I am new to derma rollers, I'm so grateful that Petunia Skincare has so much information on their packaging. Directions for cleaning, rolling, and other tips are right on the box so you don't have to go searching for more information anywhere else.

  I don't have any other experience to compare with, but I think Petunia Skincare's packaging is really suitable for a derma roller.The derma roller itself has its own hard plastic case that the roller fits perfectly in. The case comes in a sealed plastic and foil bag, and then it is boxed. It makes me feel like there's less of a chance of germs getting all over the roller during shipping.

  The roller feels good in your hand. It sits comfortably in your palm and doesn't feel awkward when you roll. It looks and feels like it is made out of high quality materials that will last a long time. I would have liked to have a rubber grip of some sort on the handle, but it isn't slippery so I really can't complain. Even the needles look high quality. The whole roller has a sterile, professional look and feel to it.

  I've been using this roller for less than a month, but I have definitely seen some results so far. My pores look a little smaller and my skin looks tighter. I have also noticed that my skin really absorbs lotions and serums better, which seems to make them more effective. I have no doubts that I will see more results using this dermal roller long term. Honestly, I'm seeing more results with this roller for less money than all the serums and lotions I've tried. I absolutely love that it can be used on your face or on your body because you get so many benefits in so many different locations from one product. I think that if you're looking for more bang for your buck, this is for 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.

You can find it on Amazon
