Our skin sometimes wears the evidence of our many blunders-a minor run-in w/a
hot iron, a scraped knee, pinched skin from the zipper on our blue jeans..the list can
go on & on...But then what about those of us that have pesky stretch marks, which
can plague anyone, from thick to thin-evidence of childbirth or weight-gain related,
they can remain behind and some of these stretch marks can stick out like a sore thumb
to us...So what can you use to prevent these if they haven't started or get rid of or at
least minimize them if they're already there?!..Well, allow me to give you the goods
on a product that will help you to do just that-prevent & minimize ....

Wouldn't it be great to find the proverbial 'Youth in a Bottle'?! The catch-all answer to
the dreaded woes of aging..well, sometimes the bottle of youth doesn't always come in
1 bottle, sometimes it may come in several bottles..like..3 or more bottles lol..Anyways,
my Serum journey is by no means over and neither is my 'trial-and-error' testing so now
that I have new products to inform you about, allow me to introduce what I call, my
Dream Team..I say this because these 3 do their best work at night while you're asleep..
So without further delay..
In collaboration with InstaNatural Skincare, I proudly present the following products
from the Youth Express Line-Eye Gel, Eye Serum, Night Cream..
Product #1: Youth Express Eye Gel (Photo;Right)

such as sagging/puffiness, dark circles, fine lines/wrinkles.

Cons: None
Price: $21.95 - 1 Fl. Oz Bottle

Price:$19.95 -3.4 Oz Bottle
Where to Buy:http://instanatural.com/collections/skin-care/products/youth-express-night-cream
My Verdict: Love It! My skin was soft, supple and hydrated after using this!
Usage:
Apply a generous amount to a freshly washed/dried
face. Let this product fully absorb into the skin before
applying makeup. This product can be used any time
of day but in my opinion, it works best if used before
or at bedtime.
And finally....
These 3 products worked fabulously, and they worked the best when I used them
before I went to bed! The Eye Gel gave a cooling sensation, which worked wonders
for my puffy eyes, which happens quite frequently due to my allergies. The Eye
Serum helped rid my eyes of any dark circles and the Night Cream was absolutely
awesome for my face, especially when my skin gets dried out from the acne treatment
products that I use because of my having very oily/acne prone skin.
My face never got excessive oil build-up because this Night Cream absorbs into the
skin immediately. 5-Star products without a doubt! If you would like to find out more
about these products and many more that InstaNatural Skincare offers, just copy/paste

Yes, I am at it again..the good ol' 'trial-and-error' test is on again and it's as sweet as can
be..Since Retinol is a necessary component to skin cell maintenance/regeneration and
given that it's also a major factor in maintaining our vision, then our faces should rejoice
in it's effects..(Happy Dance)..So without further adu, let's get on with the show..
In collaboration with Azure Naturals, I present to you Ultimate Retinol Anti-Wrinkle
Serum..
Pros:
Contains Botanical Herbal Infusion, Hyaluronic Acid,
Vitamin E, Retinol 2.5% ,and Organic Aloe & Jojoba Oils
work together to go deep into the skin's epidermal
layer to regenerate/rejuvenate the skin's surface by
plumping fine lines/wrinkles & tightening the skin.
Suitable for all skin types/sensitive skin.
Cons: None
Price: $24.95 -1 Fl. Oz Bottle
Where to Buy:http://www.azurenaturals.com/collections/ultimate-facial-serums/products/ultimate-retinol-anti-wrinkle-serum
My Verdict: Love It! My skin felt soft, firmed & refreshed.
Usage:
Apply to freshly washed face. Pat dry and
apply a small amount* of this product to
the face/neck. Allow skin to fully dry before
applying a moisturizer or makeup.
*Note:
Using too much of this product on at once
can make your skin sore so use sparingly-
the amount pictured on the right is enough
for your entire face, if using on the neck
area as well, use the same amount pictured.
And finally...
This product worked well but as I stated in the *note in the "Usage" section, it can
make your skin sore because Retinol has powerful tightening properties so be careful
about the amount that you use at one time. My skin was left firm and supple with a
cooling sensation. It is a 5-Star product when used correctly. If you would like to find
out more about this product plus many more that Azure Naturals has to offer, just
copy & paste the link in the 'Where to Buy' section of this review.
If you're like me then you've probably heard about Hyaluronic Acid and all of its benefits..
The many brands & combinations of serums containing this acid, as the main catalyst for
reviving the skin & so on..Again, as with Vitamin C serum, it is a 'trial-and-error' test to
find the one that best suits your skin's needs, and no 2 products are the same so this
is where personal research comes in...
In collaboration with Clarigenics Skincare, I present to you Hyaluronic Acid Serum
Product: Hyaluronic Acid Serum
(Photo;Right)
Pros:
Contains Organic Herbal Blend, Witch Hazel,
Geranium Oil, Aloe & Jojoba Oils which
blend together to penetrate deep into the
epidermal layers of the skin to fill in lines
and wrinkles, thereby plumping the skin's
surface and restoring natural elasticity.

Now that I've journeyed through the world of Vitamin C, please allow me to turn your
attention to a different vitamin..Vitamin A..So whats the deal with Vitamin A?! Well
first lets start by explaining what it is and what it does...
Vitamin A: A natural organic compound that is responsible for maintaining our vision,
immune system and skin. It is found in foods such as carrots, kale, broccoli, cheddar
cheese, butter, tomatoes, papaya & milk, just to name a few.
This vitamin is what Retinol-A is and this is essential to normalizing skin and promoting
cell regeneration, especially when combined with other components such as Hyaluronic
Acid..

signs of aging such as wrinkles and fine lines,
Suitable for all skin types. Safe for sensitive
skin.
Cons: None
Price $22.95* ~1 Fl. Oz Bottle

My Citrus-infused Adventure seems like an endless voyage..but as I stated before about
these types of serums, it's the 'trial-and-error' to find the one that best suits the skin type
so all in all, it's an interesting journey :)...So here we are again and this is a good one:

light & gives the skin just enough moisture. If you would like to purchase this product

Once again my Vitamin C-filled adventure is on & in full effect..After all,
trial-and-error is required when dealing with the different serums that all
include Vitamin C as their main catalyst for promoting youthful skin. So,
with that being said, searching for the skin's favorite item has been an
absolute joy, I will delay no further..Read On:
In collaboration with Bella Naturals, I present Naturalico Vitamin C 20% Professional
Anti-Aging Serum..
Product: Vitamin C 20% Professional Anti-Aging Serum (Photo;Right)

Contains Organic Herbal Infusion, Vitamin C 20%, Vitamin E,

Green Tea, Wild Geranium Oil. Protects/plumps/regenerates
skin cells & stimulates the skin's collagen production & cell
turnover rate, promotes an improved skin texture/tone that is

Where to Buy: http://www.amazon.com/Vitamin-Serum-Hyaluronic-Moisturizer-Ingredients/dp/B00MUKT43M/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1423539094&sr=8-3&keywords=bella+naturals+vitamin+C
My Verdict: Love It! My face fell in love!
Usage:
Shake well. Apply a small amount to
a freshly washed/ lightly dried face
& neck. Avoid the eye area. Let face
dry completely before applying
a moisturizer or makeup.
And finally...
My skin responded to this serum well. My skin texture was smooth and it didn't clog
my pores or cause a breakout, which can happen with some serums. As I stated in
my other reviews of Vitamin C Serums, it is a trial-and-error process in regards to
finding the one that best suits your own skin due to the fact that no two products are
exactly same and some do a better job than their rivals. A 5-star product. So, if you
would like to pick this baby up and try it out for yourself or just find out more about
this product, just copy & paste the link in the 'Where to Buy' section of this review.
