Retinol Eye TR - Under-eye Night Serum by Medik8

I know this is going to sound crazy, me a business owner writing about another product I don't sell, but, here I am about to rave about Medik8's fabulous Retinol Eye Serum.

Skin Needling is about to commence in my clinic and I have chosen the Medik8 dermal rollers.  When Karen the SkinCeutical rep, dropped in to see me last week, she dropped off a sample of this product to trial, stating it was amazing.   Hmmmmm, I'll be the judge of that!

I am not a hoarder of products.  I only use results driven products with active ingredients on my skin.  Some of my products I have been using for years and rarely do I find a stand-out product on the market.  Don't get me wrong, I try plenty of products and get asked to trial a lot of different ones, but quite frankly, they don't make significant changes to my skin, so why change a proven formula? So last week when I decided to take the plunge and dabbed a few drops of the retinol serum under each eye before bed, I was delighted with the results the next morning.  My dark circles had been minimised and there was a definite reduction in puffiness.  I have now used it for a week and I have received comments at the clinic asking if I have had botox around my eyes.

What makes this little product so wonderful?  It has time-release technology, so it works slowly on the area overnight.  It contains the wonder product All-trans retinol 0.1%.  Retinol encourages collagen production and cellular rejuvenation. There was no irritation around the eye area which can be a problem with retinol.  It is fragrance free, paraban free and no testing on animals.

This product does what it says.  It retails for $87.40 and consumers are told they can get up to 100 uses out of the bottle.  I will certainly consider bringing this product into my clinic in the future, and will continue to use it long term, in conjuntion with my current eye cream.

The best news is that SkinCeutical have given me 5 trial bottles to give away to the bloggers who comment and retweet about this blog.  So get writing people!!!

Skin Care Products: Fruit Enzyme Masque by Advanced Skin Technologies....

Skin Care Products: Fruit Enzyme Masque by Advanced Skin Technologies....: "It isn't often that another business owner will call you with the name of a client to call who desperately wants a product! This happened..."

Fruit Enzyme Masque by Advanced Skin Technologies.



It isn't often that another business owner will call you with the name of a client to call who desperately wants a product!  This happened to me on Saturday.  I called the lovely lady back and she was in hot pursuit one of the best products I have ever used!  Now for someone who has an addiction to fabulous products, that is a big call, but an accurate one.

I tired this little product the other week, when Liane the State manager called in to see me.  I was immediately blown away and ordered a large quantitiy! (Thank heavens I did, as no one can get their hands on it at the moment!)

So what does this Fruit Enzyme Mask do?  It literally strips away the dead skin cells!  You double cleanse your skin where you want to apply it, (most clients are using it on their hands, decolletage, and face) then apply a small amount of the fruit enzyme mask and massage it in.  It can feel a little tingly on the skin and even a little warm.  Keep massaging until the consistency becomes water-like and still continue to massage.  It is at this point that all the dead skin starts to lift off the surface and ball under your fingers!  Fabulous!!!

What makes this product so wonderful is that it is Australian made and all natural.  It gives the client the ability to perform a mini peel at home, which then allows for deeper penetration of home care products.  It is full of potent antioxidant-rich fruit.  As you all know, I am passionate about antioxidants, both topical and oral, and this product is packed full of it.

I have to be totally honest, I am in awe of this product, and the popularity of this product backs up my opinion.  for only $44, there in no wonder stockists can't keep up with the demand.
