Nest Full of New

Disclosure: I received this product as part of an advertorial.

I’ve tried Vitamin C lotions before and have been pretty unimpressed.  Nothing new and fantastic happened. Most of the time, I couldn’t detect even a hint of citrus.  Then comes along Valentia Even Glow Serum with 20% Vitamin C. I was again skeptical, but as soon as I opened the bottle, I knew this one was different. A blast of orange hit my nose and instantly woke me up! Alright, now I’m paying attention.

I am at the age where I’m beginning to battle fine lines, wrinkles and dry skin patches. The Serum goes on thin and absorbs quickly, leaving my face feeling refreshed. I use it at night and in the morning before I apply my makeup. I use my regular moisturizer after the serum has absorbed. Even after just over two weeks, I can really see a change in my skin.  My skin tone seems more even and it appears to more “dewy.” It’s been a long time since I’ve had skin anywhere near radiant. 

From Valentia:

1) Vitamin C serums can sometime spark a breakout when they are first used. This happens because the serum is drawing out toxins from your skin and often after repeated use, sometimes for a few weeks, the skin adjusts to the new level of nutrients it is receiving daily and these blemishes (among others) disappear. If this is you, we suggest lowering the amount used until your skin adjusts.

2) You may want to start off using a small amount daily and only in the evening.

Be sure you are using a high quality skin cleanser before bed and in the mornings as well. This will leave your pores cleaner and less likely to be clogged, reducing incidents of breakouts. This also helps the serum to absorb better into the skin.

KEY INGREDIENTS

Vitamin C: With a 20% concentration does more than boost the body’s immune system; it also provides many benefits to keep the skin tight, smooth and looking ageless. Vitamin C has been scientifically proven to reduce the effects of sun exposure on the skin, including sunburn, sun spots, redness and wrinkles.

In addition to helping reduce the signs of aging, Vitamin C is essential for everyday maintenance to strengthen and smooth out the skin, as well as neutralizing free radicals before they can damage the skin.

These additional ingredients were included for their ability to enhance and support Vitamin C’s effect on the skin:

Organic Rosehip Seed Oil & Organic Sea Buckthorn Oil – These oils promote skin hydration and lock in moisture to protect your skin from signs of aging and improve its beauty and youthfulness. Rosehip Oil specifically has been used in medical communities around the world for those with serious skin ailments and only recently has North America learned to embrace natural solutions from our ancestors. These two organic oils are full of antioxidants and therefore act as the perfect supporting cast for our best friend – Vitamin C

Resistem (Plant Stem Cells) – This provides the perfect mix of protection from stress-related aging and promotes skin detoxification. Resistem will help your skin regenerate faster while protecting it from environmental stressors.

Hyaluronic Acid (Botanical) – Holding up to 1000 times its weight in water and drawing moisture out of the environment and onto the surface of your skin ,there is not a more effective moisturizing agent on the market today. Penetrates deeply, and actives collagen production for a fresher, younger, firmer, and brighter complexion

Green Tea Extact– The catechins in green tea are a potent antioxidant which also contribute to the overall anti-inflammatory and anti-irritant benefits of this ancient health and beauty secret.

I don’t see how you can go wrong with this all natural product. My skin is softer and smoother just after a couple of weeks! For more information, you can visit Valentia here.
