ADOVIA Intensive Anti-Wrinkle Cream

Container: ADOVIA Intensive Anti-Wrinkle cream comes in a wide-mouthed heavy glass jar. Upon opening there is a protective cover, which can be removed and replaced easily to protect the contents from oxidation and contamination. The content is 1.7 fl.oz. The frosted glass jar has a silver cover making it decorative, or at least unobtrusive, jar to have on the vanity.

Ingredients: The main label ingredients are deionized and dead sea water, stearic acid, cetearyl alcohol, butylene glycol, propylene glycol, chamomile, algae extract, papaya, aloe vera gel, sweet almond oil, caprilyc/capric triglyceride, glycerin, dimethicone, carbomer, benzoic acid, chlorphenesin, dehydroacetic acid, benzalkoinium chloride, urea, vetiver, myrrh extract, rose absolute, lactic acid, dead sea salt, retinyl palmtate. The listed expiration time after the jar is opened is 12 months.

The Product: The milky, white, slightly pearlized cream is soft to the touch. It spreads easily and absorbs well. The directions say to use a generous amount, however, I was able to use a dime-sized amount for my face, and another dime-sized amount for my neck. It has a pleasing scent, however the scent does linger, so it might initially conflict with perfume. The scent seems to fade within an hour. Once absorbed my skin did feel slightly sticky to the touch. The directions indicate to use the product daily and that it can be used as a makeup foundation. Living in Louisiana I would prefer to use this as a night cream, as it might become too slippery if used under a sunscreen and tinted foundation. Upon washing my face and neck both were very soft and this softness remained for over 24 hours. My skin felt hydrated and healthy, with no dryness or irritation. I would recommend this product for anyone who is not allergic to the ingredients. While most of the ingredients seem to be natural, some may cause irritation. I will continue to use this product as a night cream and hope for continued benefits to my skin. You can buy this product at Amazon.com at: Adovia Anti Wrinkle Facial Moisturizer Cream

Foxbrim Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamins C&E, MSM

Container: Foxbrim Hyaluronic Acid with Vitamins C&E and MSM comes in a 1 oz. glass bottle with a dropper. The dropper makes it very easy to dispense the small amount of the product that is needed for full face coverage. It also preserves the product and keeps it from contamination by fingers or skin.

Ingredients: The main label ingredients are Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamins C&E, and MSM. The HA is botanical in origin. Also the product includes Aloe, Witch Hazel, Glycerin, Jojoba Oil, Green Tea, and Geranium Essential Oil. The listed expiration time after the bottle is opened is 12 months.

The Product: Dispensing is easy with the dropper, there is no need to touch the dropper or the top or inside of the bottle, which preserves the quality and sanitary condition of the product. The serum is a rather thick gel. The directions say to apply a small amount to face, neck and decollete. Initially, I thought a few drops would not be enough to fully cover my face, neck and upper chest. However, I only needed 2 drops for my face, 1 for neck and 1 for upper chest. The gel spreads easily and smoothly with a great fluid texture. There is a clean, fresh light scent of rose on application. Once on the skin the scent does not linger, which is good, in my opinion, as it will not interfere with any perfume I may also use. The serum becomes absorbed very quickly and does not leave any greasy or sticky residue. The gel penetrates so easily and rapidly that this is perfect under makeup or sunscreen. Continued use of the serum left my skin smooth and the pores seemed minimized. My skin did not dry out and I had no negative reaction to the product. I was very impressed with this serum and would definitely recommend it. This is a product that I trust. As a fan of HA, I believe continued use would help decrease fine lines on my face and neck.

Hyaluronic Acid

I have long been a fan of Hyaluronic Acid for use on the skin, knees, and face. Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance in the body. HA cushions and lubricates. It can be used topically to increase the moisture held in the skin and to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. It is also used in an injectable form to improve the cushion and lubrication of joints and as a filler in the face to fill in deeper lines. When used topically on the skin it is readily absorbed and provides near immediate moisture to the skin. It penetrates and helps the skin retain moisture. HA can be used alone or with other ingredients to improve skin appearance.

That being said, I will be reviewing a number of topical products containing HA. While it is not truly a fountain of youth, it does work for many to create or recreate a younger appearance. I use it and it works for me. Can it do the same for you???
