Purlev Pure Touch Retinol Anti aging Cream and Purlev Pure Silk Anti aging Serum [#sponsored #review]

Skincare products containing Retinol have been long touted as preferred sources for preventing the signs of aging that seem to haunt everyone when they look in a mirror. It's true! Retinol as an ingredient does lend itself to the care and keeping of one's skin.

The products Purlev Pure Touch Anti-Aging Retinol Cream and Purlev Skincare Pure Silk Anti Aging Face Serum can each be used day/night but it is best to not use both during the same application. When both products are used, it is suggested using the serum in the morning under a lighter moisturizer, and the cream at night on cleansed skin.

Purlev Pure Touch Anti-Aging Retinol Cream

My thoughts: This lovely cream is a dense, white cream that I lightly apply to my entire face, neck, and décolletage areas. After dabbing, or patting, the cream over the areas, I begin to massage it into the skin using gently rotating upward motions enabling the cream and retinol to be fully absorbed by the skin and awakening the tissue to work with the ingredients. Purlev is absorbed into the skin beautifully and doesn't leave a sticky feel. (I don't care for products that leave a sticky feel to my skin.) Once fully absorbed there should be not show any "white" of the cream, only softened skin.

For a few minutes after applying this cream, I tend to feel a slight stinging which indicates to me that the ingredients are doing their work. My skin is not sensitive and this slight stinging is very short lived. There is no peeling or lasting redness when I am using Purlev.

After using Purlev for a week, my skin feels softened, pores diminished, skin brightened, and I really believe my "lines" a bit diminshed. Makeup looks especially good now that I've been using this lovely cream on my face. I believe that continued use will help protect it from further effects of aging. The goal is to reduce lines and wrinkles and I think it is helping!

I am using the Purlev Retinol Anti-Aging Cream at night just prior to bedtime. As with any products that contain retinol, or that are not made specifically for use around the eye area, I do avoid getting this product around the eyes.

Purlev Skincare Pure Silk Anti Aging Face Serum 1 Oz With Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid & Tri-Peptide | Ageless Gel 

My thoughts: This serum is different from the general run of the mill products. First, it is a gel which makes it easier to apply and you feel it is more effective in adhering and absorbing. It contains ingredients other serums do such as Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid but it also has Tri-Peptide. These are the amino acids (or proteins) that our skin needs. And Tri-Peptide means it contains 3 amino acids. Amino acids help our skin know to make more collagen. (see material on this - click here)

I really like using serums on my skin to add a layer of care and protection. I use it after cleansing the skin and prior to applying moisturizer. So the routine is cleanse, serum, moisturize, makeup. Then I'm ready for my day.

I truly like this gel serum as it feels so silky to my skin and I think it is doing a great job protecting against aging.

Using this serum under moisturizer is great for day wear. At night I think the Purlev AntiAging Cream works well.

Wrinkle Smoothing Cream by Anaiti ~ A Cosmetic Alternative to Botox [Anti-Aging, Anti-Wrinkle Skin Care Product with Hyaluronic Acid (HA) + Argireline + Matrixyl {Review}

As can be seen in the picture, this is a white, creamy product. As with other facial creams you apply it after cleansing the skin. I found it takes very, very little. Too much and it leaves a white "film" on the skin, though this eventually dries or absorbs. So "a little dab will do you" certainly holds true with this product making it go a long way for you.

Usually hyaluronic acid products come in the form of a liquid dispensed from a bottle with a dropper or pump. However, this product serves as serum and cream. The directions provided by Anaiti say that if your skin is dry, you can also apply another moisturizer after applying the Anaiti Wrinkle Smoothing Cream. Though my skin is not "young" skin, it is not necessarily dry. I did not, however, use another moisturizer on top of the Anaiti. After applying this product, I waited a couple of minutes for it to dry or absorb into the skin and then applied makeup (foundation, etc.). This works very nicely.

Is it a miracle product? Alas, there really are not any true miracles out there in the form of creams, lotions, serums. However, the miracle comes in choosing products that have an impact on the skin and using them to stave off the effects of our environment and of the simple fact that we age as the days and years roll along. The Anaiti Wrinkle Smoothing Cream is a good choice for taking good care of your skin. 

My suggestion: If you're staying home and going "makeup free," why not apply your serums, creams, etc. more than once or twice a day. Freshen your face with additional applications. I find this makes my skin feel good and I believe it helps me take better care of it. I always apply quality skincare products daily. 

Ingredients (information from Anaiti website) - Breakthrough skin care products made with effective, naturally derived ingredients is Anaiti’s specialty. Its Advanced Line and Wrinkle Smoothing Cream for Celebrity Skin is formulated with three of today’s most effective anti-aging, anti-wrinkle components. 

1. Powerful humectant Hyaluronic Acid is one of the best moisturizers on the market, working on all skin types to create smooth, supple and hydrated skin. 
2. Complementing Hyaluronic Acid is Argireline, the clinically proven peptide that reduces wrinkles by 30 percent. Argireline, or acetyl hexapeptide-3, inhibits facial muscle neurotransmitters, relaxing the face, smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles and creating a safe, compelling alternative to Botox. 
3. The final powerhouse ingredient, Matrixyl, nearly doubles the skin’s production of collagen, improving elasticity, firmness and plumpness. Often lauded as one of the best day creams available, Advanced Line and Wrinkle Smoothing Cream is cruelty-free, made only at certified facilities in Canada and contains absolutely no paraben.
4. WHAT RESULTS WILL YOU SEE? - Increased skin hydration/elasticity - Less pigmentation/skin redness/visible wrinkles - Smaller pores 

Made in certified facilities in Canada. Cruelty-free, non-toxic and paraben-free, using naturally-derived ingredients.
