Review - Valentia Royal Rose Hydrating Serum

I have received this product for free in exchange of my unbiased review.

This is the second Valentia product I have tried and in both cases, I love to use. The first one was the Valentia Organic Rosehip Oil which I utilized last year.

Now, I have the opportunity to test the Valentia Royal Rose Hydrating Serum and I am glad I tried it. I usually get dry skin around my eyebrows area and patches on my cheeks especially when the season is changing. I tend to get very dry and scaly skin around my eyebrows that I sometimes use emolient lotion to stop the itching. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. So the first patch of skin I applied this Valentia Royal Rose Hydrating Serum was around those eyebrow skin areas.

I have been using this product for more than a week now. I have noticed the less scaly and dry patch on my cheeks. The skin around my eyebrows are not as dry and itchy. I apply this twice a day, once in the morning and then at night before bedtime.

The Valentia Royal Rose Hydrating Serum is perfect for those with dry and sensitive skin because it hydrates and soothes the skin. I noticed that when I applied it on my face and neck, I felt a faint cool effect on my skin. And amazingly, even if it contains Rosehip Seed oil, it does not leave oily residue on my skin.

It contains:


- Rose Damascena: One of the most nourishing and skin friendly natural oils, providing balance, moisture, and a variety of vitamins and minerals to the skin.
- Niacinamide (Vitamin B): This potent vitamin has been clinically proven to fade away hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and acne..
- Rosehip Seed Oil: Naturally rich in Vitamins C & A, these essential fatty acids work quickly to lock in skin's moisture.
- Evening Primrose Oil: Provides light, non-oily moisture to the skin, never clogging or irritating the skin.
- Bearberry: Reduces melanin production, thereby lightening the skin, revealing a brighter complexion.
- Lavender: Heals the skin, treating pimples, wounds, and sores.

(Description - taken from Amazon)

The instruction indicates to follow with a moisturizer after application. I don't use moisturizer after applying this serum on my skin. And I don't see any ill effects. In fact, my skin is more supple, smooth and not as dry as before.

The only critique I have about this product is that it smells like a very faint rose. And I don't like my beauty or facial skin care products to have floral scent. I prefer unscented ones. But the scent does not really have an impact on the effectivity of this serum. All in all, I will definitely buy this again.

This is available in Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/NEW-Hydrating-Sensitive-Damascena-Niacinamide/dp/B01AHVGZNM/

The product comes in a luxurious looking glossy box, in 1.18 0z brown glass bottle with a nozzle pump and transparent cap.

Made in USA.

Vita Sciences Maxasorb Vitamin B12 Cream Review #MaxasorbB12

**I have received this product at a discounted rate. My findings are 100% mine and may vary from yours. I only review products that I will use and find beneficial to myself and my readers.

I have tried other serums before but this is the first time I have used a beauty serum that has Vitamin B12 in it. I thought it is a serum but actually, it is more of a cream because it is not in liquid form. The cream is pinkish in colour.

Vitamin B12 is good for our skin too. It helps in the renewal of healthy cells and helps in delaying the signs of aging.

What I like:
I like its cool effect when applied on my face. Aside from that, I have also applied it on the dry and itchy patches behind my ears.  The best thing about this cream is that I have used it on the itchy part of the back of my ears which tend to get very dry when the season's change. So, I applied a small amount each day behind my ears on the itchy and dry patches. And now, they are not as dry as before.

It is good for those with eczema, psoriasis, dry and itchy skin patches and skin rashes.

The Maxasorb B12 Serum is absorbent and is also gentle to the skin because it is hypoallergenic. It is like the Maxasorb D3 cream I have tried, thick/creamy consistency and yet it gets absorbed by the skin quite fast.

I also like the fact that I only need to press the pump twice for my daily dosage.

My face looks very radiant and my colleagues are already noticing that my skin is getting "pinkish" This product gave my skin a nice and natural glow because I barely use makeup and I only use eyeshadow and not blush on.

This product has a very faint "minty" scent and I like it a lot. It gives off that soothing vibes and perhaps that is also the reason why it soothes my itchy skin patches.

What I don't like:
Nothing. I like this product and will continue to use it.

Where to buy:
This product is available in Amazon.

And you can avail of this ONE TIME discount of 15% off here when you purchase using this code from my site or by visiting Vita Sciences.

Discount code:  save15 (again, this is just a ONE TIME use code when you buy at vitasciences.com)

My recommendation:
I highly recommend this product and I will definitely use this again when my ration is over. This can also be used on children over 12 years if they have eczema, psoriasis, itchy and dry skin patches. And for adults, it helps in soothing fine lines/wrinkles and moisturises your skin too.

Review - Naturalico Vitamin C, Vitamin E and HA Anti-Aging Serum #vitamincserum

This is a product I tested few weeks ago to check if it will do a significant change in my skin tone, texture, fine lines and age spots as those are my common issues when I reached 40s.

I am very fussy with what I apply on my face because I have sensitive skin. I am really surprised that this serum is not harsh on my skin. I like this Naturalico serum because it's organic with Hyaluronic Acid, Rose Hip and Sea buckthorn oil which help in moisturizing, protecting the skin from free radicals and the added Vit. C promotes production of collagen which makes the skin youthful and fair.

I'm in my mid-40s and it is high time to use serums like this one because of the signs of aging like age spots and fine lines and some wrinkles. I have some fine lines near my eyes and few age spots which have lightened after several days of using Naturalico. I can notice a nice glow in my complexion which my family and friends have noticed as well and considering that it is winter, it's so hard to achieve a natural "pinkish" glow without the use of a blush on or cosmetic but I can see that my cheeks are rosier and I don't even have to apply make-up.

My skin is more soft than usual too which I am very happy about. I also like that this serum does not contain parabens and alcohol which are both harmful to our skin. It does not have any scent. I like my beauty products to be unscented. It is also opaque and not too watery in consistency so you will only apply a small amount. A 1 fl. oz. bottle will last a long time in usage if you use very sparingly and as directed.

I liked the serum a lot. Needless to say, it has actually improved my skin tone, texture, reduced the visibility of fine lines and lightened my age spots.  I do recommend this serum to people who are starting to battle the signs of aging. It is safe even to sensitive skin like mine.

You can purchase this serum from Amazon.

Review - Yumi Vitamin C Serum #YumiBeautiful

I have tried several beauty serums already in the past. Some are thick and concentrated, some are light but Yumi comes in the middle when it comes to consistency. I like this beauty serum for so many reasons:

It has gentle formulation but is very effective. If I am to compare it to the other brands I have tried, this does not sting at all.

It has 25% active Vit. C blend which helps brighten and lighten the skin tone.

It is also used for your neck and decolletage.

It has extracts from these superfruits:

• Pomegranate
• Green Tea
• Blackberry
• Cranberry
• Acai Berry
• Goji Berry
• Noni
• and Kale

It has soothing aloe vera so I don't feel any sting on my face.

It evens out the tone of my face. I don't use blush on anymore as my skin became a bit pinkish which is a positive glow!

The dryness of my skin has diminished.

It is light-weight and easily absorbed by the skin.

You can wear moisturizer and even foundation and makeup on top of it.

It has a nozzle rather than an eyedropper applicator.


This product is available from Amazon.


I give this product my thumbs up! It's lightweight in formulation but very effective!

Review - PureSouth Naturals Vitamin C Serum #puresouthnaturals

I am not much of a beauty cream nor serum user but there are some that I can actually vouch for because I have tried and tested their effectiveness. One of those serums that I have tried and can really tell that it has worked for me is this - PureSouth Naturals Vitamin C Serum.

© www.riablahgs.com

Amongst the serums I have already tried, this is the only one that is actually not opaque or clear in color.  It is actually orangish/dark yellowish in color because of the Vitamin C content.

©www.riablahgs.com

What's so great about this serum is that, you only need to apply a thin layer twice a day and follow up with a moisturizer and in few days, you will actually notice a change in your skin tone, pores, skin texture (mine is more soft than usual and rather smooth), supple and fairer. My husband is even trying this serum. My husband is not fair-skinned but his facial tone has slightly lightened compared to his natural brownish skin tone. And this is for both of us, our pores are slightly larger than the average size so we have the tendency to have very oily T-zone. The PureSouth Naturals Vitamin C Serum helped in minimizing the pores. I am not very sure if it was meant to happen but so far, we are loving that positive effect.

It does not contain any alcohol or paraben which is my preference. I would like to use something organic or natural especially if it's something I will put on my face.

It is also made of Vitamin E which is a great antioxidant which helps fight free radicals and repairs our skin.

This product is not tested on animal too and I will support companies who will follow the same lead.

It has hyaluronic acid which helps in making the skin supple and firm, thus, helps in delaying the signs of aging.

Lastly, it contains the potent Vitamin C which promotes the production of collagen, making the skin soft and helps in the delaying process of premature aging.


I do recommend this product because it works and I can feel and see the result. Even my husband will agree!

This product is available in Amazon.

Review - Voila Ve Triple Action Vitamin C Serum

I have tried several serums in the past and the VoilaVe is the first one that I have tried that focuses on its main ingredient which is Vitamin C - in 3 forms. I have tested this product for several days and I am very surprised to see a good result on my skin's oiliness level and how my face is getting softer too.

VoilaVe Triple Action Vitamin C Serum is a highly potent serum that help slow down the signs of aging. It contains


What I like:
I like that there is a small note inserted on the cap of the bottle dispenser to remind users to use very sparingly as it is a potent serum.

Half a pump of the serum goes a long way as it can cover my whole T-zone area where it is usually oily during the day.

Just after 3 days, I noticed that my T-zone area where it gets very oily is not that oily anymore.

My face is less shiny because it is now less oily.

It does not have any scent at all and that's what I prefer for my beauty products.

It does not contain alcohol and paraben.

It comes with an e-book when you purchase this product from Amazon.  The e-book contains tips on how to fully maximize this product's potency and effectiveness. It also has tips on how to take cae of your skin to delay aging. Other products of VoilaVe is also showcased in the e-book.

This is Made in USA by Voilave.com.

It is organic and the company only uses the ingredients required to produce effective results, thus, it has no fillers nor dilutions.




What I don't like:
The bottle size. It was misleading because the bottle is about 6 inches tall (including the nozzle and cap) so I thought it contained more than 1 fl oz (30 ml) serum. I check the other serums I have tried in the past and all of them are smaller bottles with the same 1 fl oz (30 ml) content as this VoilaVe.

Packaging:
Packed in a high-grade plastic container with a nozzle and clear cap.


Price:
You can buy this at Amazon for $19.95 and FREE Shipping on orders over $35 (more details in Amazon).


My recommendation:
Taking the type of container and the size used for this product out of the equation and basing my findings on the effectiveness of this serum, I give my high recommendation for this product. I have used only for few days and I can already see positive effects on my skin tone, overall oiliness of my T-zone area and the softness of my skin. And the very small amount you will apply on your skin will make the product go a long way due to it high potency.

Review - Petunia Skincare Professional Hyaluronic Acid & Vit. C Moisturizing Serum

I'm past my 40s and I know it is about time I take charge of my skin regimen before the signs of aging totally eat me up. I'm glad that there are serums out there that we can use to delay the signs of aging and Petunia Skincare Professional Hyaluronic Acid & Vitamin C Moisturizing Serum is a great product to use to for that matter.

What is Hyaluronic Acid?
It is a nutrient that helpt in retaining moisture to the skin and aiding in a healthy and youthful appearance. It is great for hydrating skin cells and helping fine lines become less visible.

Hyaluronic Acid is a potent nutrient which helps the skin plus the added Vitamin C and Ferulic Acid makes this product very effective because Vitamin C stimulates the production of collagen to bring back skin's natural elasticity. Vitamin C also helps improve skin texture, making it smooth and an even-out complexion. It also helps in reducing pore size. Ferulic acid on the other hand is a powerful natural anti-oxidant. This nutrient stays longer in the skin and it helps stabilize Vitamin C so the latter will be more effective.

What I like:
It's more translucent than the other serums I have tried with a thicker consistency so it doesn't run on your finger when you apply.

The nozzle is better than the twist kind because all I have to do is lift the cap and press. So, it is easier to dispense and apply.

It makes my skin softer.

It makes my skin more fair.

It doesn't make my skin oily and that's a good thing for me. Most moisturizers I have tried leaves my skin shiny and oily.

This is not only a serum that helps delay the signs of aging by making the lines finer so they become less visible.  This serum is also a moisturizer which helps hydrate skin.

I can see that the larger pores around my nose area has slightly diminished in size.

It's not tested on animals.



What I don't like:
The other serums I have tried do not have a scent but this one does. It's not very overpowering but for some weird reasons, it's making me sneeze. It has a faint floral scent but like I said, it's not very strong. It's just that I prefer using unscented ones. However, the scent does not affect the effectivity of this product. It's still a great serum to use. I just wish it didn't have that "faint floral" scent.


Price:
It is sold in Amazon for $18.97 (without taxes where applicable and excluding shipping).


Packaging:
Comes in 1 fl. oz (30 ml) glass bottle with a pump nozzle and clear cap, packed in a white box.


My recommendation:
I can actually overlook the faint scent that I have mentioned earlier because it actually did not affect the effectivity of this product. It was just something I don't like to have in any of the beauty and skincare products that I use.

I highly recommend this product because it is really effective and I think this is a triple threat to the signs of aging - a moisturizer and a serum with Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C and Ferulic Acid - all great and potent nutrients our skin needs to combat and delay the signs of aging.

Review - Day By Day Beauty Serum

I am not much of a beauty cream or serum user but there are few beauty products out there that I don't shy away from. One of them is Day by Day Beauty Vitamin C Serum.

Day by Day Beauty Vitamin C Serum contains potent Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid, and Vitamin E to penetrate and beautify your skin fast. I felt the immediate result just few days after using it. My skin feels softer and smoother. Another thing I like about this product is that it is effective for all skin type, even for my sensitive skin. It doesn't have a scent. If so, it is so mild and very faint that I don't smell anything.

This beauty serum is plant-based and has no parabens, alcohol, or fillers which are harmful to our skin. It comes with a dispenser cap and screw cap. The bottle is glass in royal blue color. It is sold in 30 ml or 1 fl. oz bottle.

It is very easy to apply. Just put a small amount in your finger and put on clean face, décolletage, neck and wait for the skin to absorb this ulta light serum. You can top it off with a moisturizer and apply make-up.

I highly recommend this product for the fact that it is effective and it does make wonders to your skin. Try it.

This beauty serum is sold in Amazon.
