Clarigenics Hyaluronic Acid Serum Review

I had a chance to try out Clarigenics Hyaluronic Acid Serum recently. Since I get a lot of hyaluronic acids and most of them are easy to work with i.e. does not irritate most skin types, absorbed easily, etc., I did not expect I would have much reason to hate Clarigenics' version.

While I was right and it was effective at moisturizing my skin, the difference I experienced with this serum was that it was not so thick like others. I don't using thick hyaluronic acids as it feels like I'm rubbing hair gel on my face. Clarigenics Hyaluronic Acid Serum absobs quickly and does not leave a greasy feeling. Definitely check out their hyaluronic acid serum at their website.

InstaNatural Vitamin C Serum review

After trying out InstaNatural's 20 % vitamin c moisturizer, I tested out this serum. The reason I did not use the 2 together was due to an illness NOT RESULTING FROM PRODUCT USE, so I did not want to overwhelm my skin.

Because I had great results with the moisturizer, I expected to see results with this serum. With ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ferulic acid, vitamin e, organic rosehip oil, sea buckthorn oil, organic argan oil, this serum seems amazing. And it was! I've had a chance to try out a lot of vitamin c serums for a particular skin condition I have and InstaNatural's was the first that had such a vast mix of ingredients that all worked together. Not only does it contain active ingredients to help your skin renew itself like vitamin c and ferulic acid but it also contains ingredients to help soothe and moisturizer your skin for a longer period of time.

Once you apply this serum on cleansed skin, it will absorb within a few minutes and leave your skin silky smooth without being greasy. You can then apply your moisturizer but I prefer to wait for a while. Since I have a lot of scars, I have to use this on every area on my face every night. 1 ounce has lasted me for almost 3 months which is ideal because any skincare product with vitamin c oxidizes so you will not be able to keep an open bottle for years. At most, you should use up an opened bottle within 6 months. If you have less areas to worry about, this will probably last for that amount.

Since I've used this for a few months, I've been able to target my most problematic scars and notice a gradual change. If you would like to help even your skin texture and complexion, InstaNatural's vitamin c serum will be useful.

Majestic Pure Cosmeceuticals Lemon Essential Oil review

While I like the fresh scent of lemon in this essential oil, I'm slightly irritated/confused about discovering the oil had evaporated from a sealed bottle. When I received it, it looked fine and I kept it away until I needed it. Upon checking it today I see that a significant amount has disappeared. I'm not sure why and I've never had this happen.

Overall, the good quality of the oil and the price make it a great product but the poor packaging heavily detracts from it for me.

*Update 02/16/2015*
The oil is still evaporating even though I've changed the lid to the dropper. Also, the lemon scent is starting to fade and become muddy like old moldy lemons. I'm not sure if I just got a bad bottle or if the scent itself is degrading.
