After this deep moisturizer was featured on the Martha Stewart show, everyone wanted to get their hands on the new miracle worker. Touted as a “non-invasive alternative to surgery,” it advertises the ability to plump skin and fill in wrinkles to give an overall younger look. As 20-year-old student, my hopes were not high for this having any effect on my skin. I like to think that through plenty of rest, drinking water and eating my vegetables, my skin retains elasticity. However, I sure was thankful for this product during a particularly stressful week this semester.
The Claim: To look younger without the needles or the knives.
The Verdict: This light-weight lotion reduced the puffiness in my eyes and made my skin just ever so subtly…better. Not necessarily anything concrete, but just the feeling you get when you know that an invisible layer of magic is working to relax your under-eye circles. My dry skin loved the feel of this lotion, as it was very moisturizing without being too heavy. I also love the fact that it has an SPF of 18, as I am a firm supporter of daily sun protection. I believe that even my oily skinned friends would be impressed. On a whim one afternoon, I applied this to my thighs, and I must say, they looked visibly firmer, though I will not be advocating smearing expensive cream on your entire body.
The Bottom Line: I will for sure save this for stressful times and days when I’ve racked up an especially big sleep debt, but I do not yet feel the need to be rigorous about applying this daily. On a plus note, I know what to get my mom for her birthday!
Yours in Beauty,
Shelby
