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.

InstaNatural Age-Defying Skin Clearing Serum Review

  This serum is quite possibly the best thing that has ever happened to me.
  If you've ever read my reviews, you know that I tell it how it is, good, bad, or indifferent.


  I'll review the product first, then talk about my results. I love the blue bottle. The orange label really pops against the bottle and makes it stand out. It has a dropper that is really easy to use and makes it easy to dispense the amount of serum you want without wasting any or making a mess.
The product itself has a milky-yellow color. Its not really thick, but I wouldn't classify it as thin either. Its in between. I love the scent of this serum. It has a citrus smell that resembles orange juice to me.
The serum is easy to apply. You don't need a lot and it goes on very smoothly. It didn't leave my skin sticky or greasy, and it completely absorbed into my skin.

  I honestly haven't ever had a product that worked so wonderfully for me before. I've always thought that skin care products worked differently for each person, and this serum is a perfect example of that. I've always seen few slight benefits with some products, I've never had any drastic results until this serum.
After applying, I immediately noticed that my skin looked healthier and had a slight glow. Within 2 days, this serum cleared up my acne. After 2 weeks, I had a more even skin tone and my skin had a smoother texture.

  Its been about 3 weeks and I'm noticing that some fine lines are completely gone. The ones around my eyes (the beginnings of crows feet) are entirely gone, and the fine lines starting on my forehead are diminishing. I don't know if the fine lines on my forehead will go away completely, but I'm going to keep using this to find out.

 To add to all the great things about this product, 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!

  I cannot recommend this serum enough. It is by far the most effective skin care product I've ever used in my life. If you want to try it out and see if you get results like I did, you can find it on Amazon. 

If you've used it before, or decide to buy, post your results in the comments!

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.
