Each night before bed I go through the same routine. I remove my makeup, apply toner, vitamin C serum, retinol moisturizer/sunscreen and moisturizer on my lips. In the morning it's basically the same thing..rinse my face, apply toner, vitamin C serum, retinol moisturizer/sunscreen and moisturizer (makeup if it's absolutely necessary).
It wasn't all that long ago that my entire beauty routine was 1 product and 45 seconds. Man, do I miss those days. You know, those pre-wrinkle, no bag, well rested, childless, makeup wasn't necessary days. I went into a store not long ago, no makeup of course, I actually didn't feel too terrible that day. The cashier asked me if I was sick. I just looked at her and she said "Oh, you look like you feel bad". I thought my husband was going to hurt himself jumping between us so fast. That's when I realized my 45 second beauty routine needed to be expanded. The great thing about this (for you) is I get to be the lab rat...so moving forward...
My latest addition is the
New Radiance Naturals Vitamin C Serum. We all know that Vitamin C is pretty awesome. It's our go to during cold and flu season. Orange juice and cough drops, but face cream? Yes, Vitamin C has taken over the beauty counter. This serum works to repair skin damage caused by elements and aging while protecting skin from further damage. I began using this serum 3 weeks ago. I use it twice daily. Once each morning and night. I apply it after my toner. It goes on very easily and dries within seconds. It does have a faint fragrance which fades after just seconds. I apply my moisturizer once the serum has dried. My moisturizer work as it normally does on top of the serum. My makeup also works great on top of them. As far as the serum itself, I can't tell that it is even there.
Now, for the results...does it work??? I didn't expect to see any results the first day, as you shouldn't. It's not an instant facelift. After the 1st week I could feel and notice a difference. My skin felt better. It was smoother. The rough places were gone and my pores were less noticeable. My skin tone was beginning to even out. Little changes that only I could see were starting to happen. After 2 weeks of use my skin was brighter. It had a more healthy glow. It wasn't as dull looking. Wrinkles were fading. Lines were much less noticeable. Now - I can barely see lines around my eyes. The more I use the serum, the more impressed I am. I normally exfoliate my skin weekly and I have not had to do that since I began using this. My skin stays smooth and soft without taking that extra step.
Here are a few words from New Radiance Naturals:
Our serum has a light consistency for easy absorption into the skin. This also makes it easier to spread and apply evenly. It is safe for all skin types and conditions. Whether you simply have aging or dry skin, or age spots, or discoloration, or wrinkles or fine lines, our Vitamin C Serum will help rejuvenate and restore your natural skin radiance with daily use.
Many of our customers see and feel results after the first use, although it may take up to 30 days, or more, for some individuals. Best results will be seen after 3 to 6 months of daily use.
Each individual brings their own distinct skin condition to the skin rejuvenation process and some clients with noticeable skin damage may receive better results by applying our Vitamin C Serum both morning and night time, if the skin is not too sensitive.
Your skin is unique, so please feel free to experiment with the application techniques that work best for your individual skin type. Also, you may want to ask friends and/or family if they notice a change in your skin, because sometimes it is hard for us to notice changes in ourselves that others see more easily.
With daily use, you can expect to see more radiant and youthful skin. Fine lines and wrinkles will smooth out and age spots and discoloration will fade. Results are cumulative, so you will see greater and greater improvement over time.
Heat and direct UV light can degrade the Vitamin C over time, so it's best to store the serum in a cool, dark place such as a drawer or medicine cabinet.
You may have tried other serums, which were clear. The normal color of our serum is a cloudy, opaque color due to our different, Vitamin E rich, plant based formula.
