Neocell Joint Bursts and Move Matrix Supplements to keep you moving! [Review & Giveaway]

Getting older is not or sissies! Frankly, it hurts. Some hurt more than others. Some hurt sooner than others. But rarely does one not hurt in the joints as one grows older. "Old joints" can hit anytime. That means something makes the joints behave and feel aged - aching, hurting, un-movable.

Neocell has developed a complete line of Collagen products designed to provide supplements that support joint health and help you keep moving. Moving is a key factor to staying strong as one ages. As a member of a local work-out gym, I try to exercise three times a week. Some days it is simply too much to get a move on to actually go exercise. So I am looking for ways to help me keep moving so I can continue to exercise.

Neocell Joint Bursts

Cutting edge modern joint health supplement pictured on
family heirloom dish. Contrast in ages.

My thoughts: This product contains collagen and also tumeric. I had heard that turmeric was being touted as a seasoning that had health benefits - primarily joint health. And had wondered about trying to figure out a way to consume some to see if it would help me. Then along came Neocell with their newest product - Joint Bursts. These are little "chews" that are nicely flavored and a pleasure to take. I am currently using one per day. I find them easy to take and I am hoping to benefit from this soon.

The flavor of the Joint Burst chews is Tropical Tang and is very pleasant - not a chore at all to use. That's a plus.

Product information: NeoCell Join Bursts combine Collagen Type 2, Turmeric, and Hyaluronic Acid in a soft chew that is bursting with juicy tropical fruit flavor for targeted joint support. *

• Collagen Type 2 is the main structural protein of joint cartilage and is what provides strength and cushioning in joints. 
• Hyaluronic Acid is the primary component of synovial fluid which lubricates the joints. 
• Turmeric is shown to promote healthy inflammatory response. * 

These three powerhouse ingredients work synergistically to support flexibility, mobility and comfort. Chew on this and take a comfortable step in the right direction. *

Neocell Move Matrix

Golden capsules give evidence of the tumeric.

My thoughts: This product contains collagen and also tumeric. As in the Joint Bursts, the turmeric holds the promise of health benefits for joint health. Combined with the top grade Collagen, the turmeric is compressed into capsules. These are large capsules and the directions say to take 5 a day. I have some difficulty with large capsules, so I am only using one per day. Combined with the Joint Bursts, perhaps this one capsule will provide some benefit from joint discomfort and help me to keep moving.

Another problem I have with some supplements is an after-taste or stomach problem. Whilst I can "taste" these as I take them, that is only momentary and there is absolutely no after-taste. A big plus.

Product information: Move Matrix provides scientifically advanced ingredients that work synergistically in the body to promote healthy joints. This premium formula supports joint flexibility and range of motion. Collagen Type 2 is the key structural protein of joint cartilage. This premium formula combines BioActive NeoCell Collagen™  Type 2, Turmeric, Hyaluronic Acid, and a sophisticated blend of joint targeted ingredients to support flexibility, lubrication, and healthy inflammatory response.*

NeoCell Hyaluronic Acid Blueberry Liquid for healthy joints and skin [Review & Giveaway]

I am now trying another great product from NeoCell which is a trusted name in healthy supplements.

We've all read the good news that our beloved blueberries are wonderfully rich in antioxidents. We even planted a blueberry bush in our back yard and have enjoyed wonderful home-grown, organic blueberries. This Hyaluronic Acid is rich in Blueberry Liquid and that makes it a double-whammy of goodness for our bodies.

Since I'm now a lady-of-a-certain-age, I need all the help I can get  protecting and helping my joints and skin. This product promises to really help.

Now I've tried it straight from the bottle and it is good and tasty. Not bad for a quick, easy to take help for skin and joints.

The picture (with the tiny glass) is one-tablespoon Hyaluronic Acid Blueberry Liquid mixed into two-tablespoons of water. Tastes delicious!

In the picture (with the tall glass) is one-tablespoon Hyaluronic Acid Blueberry Liquid mixed into a lovely mocha chai tea with ice. I did add a bit of honey to sweeten. Delicious!

If you don't care to take pills, this is a lovely way to get some Hyaluronic Acid and blueberry benefits into your daily life. And now the readers here at Chat With Vera have an opportunity to get a bottle by entering the giveaway below. Or you can go ahead a grab a bottle for yourself from iherb (where I shop for my NeoCell products).

Mothers' Day and Beauty Go Hand-In-Hand at NeoCell with Liposomes Collagen products [Review & Special Mothers' Day Giveaway]

CLICK HERE

NeoCell is a company that provides products from natural sources to help the skin, nails, hair, and joints be healthier, look better, and "perform" better. Collagen is the major player in these products created by NeoCell.

I previously reviewed several of their lovely products including my most favorite of them all - Neocell Biotin Bursts! Today we're going to look at two more of NeoCell's topical application products containing collagen - Collagen Moisturizing Treatment Masque and Collagen Lipsomes Replenishing Gelle. The plan is to cleanse the face first and then apply the masque, wait about 40 minutes and remove. Afterwhich I apply the Replenishing Gelle. The plan is to do this about three times a week. Other days I will use my regular skin care products.

Pictured: The creamy white (on left) is the Collagen Moisturizing Treatment Masque. On the right is the pink (isn't it lovely?) Collagen Liposomes Replenishing Beauty Gelle.)

Neocell, Collagen, Moisturizing Treatment Masque

I am not, personally, a big fan of masque treatments. I thought I'd try the Neocell Collagen since I do thoroughly enjoy their other products. This is a thick treatment that goes on smoothly and does not dry and crack while you have it on. It does not peel off. You rinse it off (thoroughly, please) with warm water.

I do like this much better than other masque treatments and this would be my product of choice in the masque line. Again, Neocell has a nice product and one I can recommend.

Directions: Smooth liberally over clean, dry skin. Wait 20-40 minutes. Masque will not dry. Remove with warm water. Follow with Collagen Liposomes Gelle. Use 2-3 times weekly, or any time quick moisture is needed.

Neocell, Liposomes Collagen

I have fallen in love this Neocell Liposomes Collagen Replenishing Beauty Gelle. It in pretty to look at as a pink, gel in the jar. Makes me feel pretty just to look at this product. But of course, the proof is actually in the use - does it make me pretty or feel pretty? No product can make you pretty but they can enhance the beauty you have already. This anti-aging product with the Liposomes Collagen works to help my skin look and feel younger.

I simply love the way this feels on my skin. Light. Pleasant. Gently fragrant. Soothing and smoothing.

I applied this after using the Neocell Collagen Masque. I have also used it by itself and also under makeup. Works lovely. Feels great.

Directions: Gently smooth a small amount of gel on clean dry skin around eyes and over facial and throat areas. May be used during the day alone, or under makeup and at night.

NeoCell Skin, Hair, and Nails products: Beauty Bursts and Collagen Beauty Builder [Review & Giveaway]

Collagen is becoming a buzz word in beauty circles.

If you read much in magazines or online about taking care of your skin, hair, and nails, you have seen articles that frequently include this new buzz word - Collagen. It comes in many forms - powders for drinks, chewy "candies," and tablets. Today we'll looking at the NeoCell brand of Collagen products - NeoCell Beauty Bursts Chews and Collagen Beauty Builder tablets. Both have different quantities of collagen as well as different types of collagen. They have additional enhancer ingredients which you can see from the information below.

NeoCell Beauty Bursts 

My thoughts:   A couple of months ago I began using NeoCell products and my favorite thus far has been the Biotin Bursts. Second in line as favorites is the Beauty Bursts. It comes in a chocolate mint and a fruit chew. I don't actually chew them, I prefer to kind of dissolve them in my mouth. I consider them a "treat" since they are slightly sweet. Isn't it fun when doing good for yourself becomes a pleasurable treat as well?

These fruit punch Collagen chews are delicious and they are not artificial tasting. I have been delighted with the way my nails are growing and they are not splitting and breaking a before. As you can see from the picture, they are a lovely rose color and are individually wrapped. They are Gluten Free, Soy Free, Contain No Palm Oil and No Artificial Flavors.

I am happy to include this Beauty Burst collagen enhancer in my daily routine! The NeoCell Beauty Bursts Gourmet Collagen Soft Chews are a delightful way to intake a supplement that will help your hair, skin, and nails.

NeoCell Beauty Bursts (Product Information from NeoCell)

• Collagen Type 1 & 3 For Firm, Smooth Skin & Strong Hair & Nails
• Hyaluronic Acid For Skin Hydration & Renewal
• Vitamin C:  Collagen Enhancer
• All Natural Formula Bursting With Delicious Flavor

Having beautiful & radiant skin has never been so easy- or so delicious.  NeoCell Beauty Bursts deliver high absorption beauty nutrients in delectable, gourmet soft chews.  Collagen Type 1 & 3 is the body's beauty protein & strengthens skin, hair & nails.  Hyaluronic Acid is know as "Nature's Moisturizer" & hydrates the skin.  Vitamin C is essential to boosting collagen in the skin.  Together, these three beauty nutrients work together to build beautiful skin from the inside out.*

NeoCell Collagen Beauty Builder is an award winning, all natural solution for youthful, radiant skin and overall beauty that starts from the inside. (product information from Neocell)

• 2013 "Best Skin, Hair and Nails Supplement" Delicious Living Magazine

Loss of elasticity in the skin, thinning hair, and brittle nails are common signs of aging that are the result of diminished collagen levels in the body. This nutrient rich formulation provides the body with potent beauty building essentials for radiant skin, thicker hair and stronger nails.*

My thoughts: As I said earlier, the Beauty Bursts and the Biotin Bursts both contain Collagen and are delightfully delicious additions to my day - helping me grow better, stronger nails and maintain or improve my hair and skin. With the Collagen Beauty Builder, which is tablet form Collagen supplement, you can increase your intake of Collagen or take it in pill form. Your choice.

I'm not really a "pill person" so the chews appeal to me most. However, and this is a BIG HOWEVER, I understand that Collagen helps with joint and back pain. Now that is not as a pain reliever, but as a supplement that can possibly improve the condition of your joints and back. So with my "aching back" in mind as well as some arthritic joints, I decided to actually increase the amount of Collagen I'm consuming with the goal of tackling these problems. I think it is worth the try.

Key Ingredients: (from NeoCell)

• Hydrolyzed Super Collagen: Collagen is a structural component of hair, skin and nail health. Collagen is difficult for the body to use in its native form. NeoCell's pharmaceutical grade Super Collagen™ is enzymatically hydrolyzed, providing low molecular weight collagen that is highly bioavailable and bioactive. Super Collagen™ contains 19 amino acids that help sustain collagen levels in aging skin as well as assist in rebuilding the skin matrix.*
• Hyaluronic Acid: Hyaluronic Acid is a water-loving nutrient that hydrates the body and promotes skin elasticity. HA is nature's “moisture-magnet” and plays a central role in supporting the appearance of smooth, supple skin.*
• Silica: Silica is a mineral involved in the transport of nutrients to the hair, skin and nails and ensures that hair follicles are supplied with all the vital minerals necessary for the growth and vitality of hair.*
• Alpha Lipoic Acid: Free radical damage is a major cause of skin aging, making potent antioxidants essential for healthy and beautiful skin. Because it is both fat and water soluble, alpha lipoic acid is a superior anti-inflammatory nutrient. This unique feature enables alpha lipoid acid to protect against free radicals both inside and outside the cell, whereas other antioxidants only provide protection outside the cell.*
• Biotin: Biotin is a B vitamin critical for hair growth and strengthening nails.*

Neocell Collagen +C Liposome Serum, Neocell Alpha Cell Exfoliator-Step II, & Neocell Refreshing Herbal Mist [Review & Giveaway]

I am so delighted to have had the opportunity to try three more of Neocell's wonderful products. Previously I shared the Biotin Bursts Chews and Beauty Infusion products and how I loved them. I've since purchased Biotin Bursts locally and have ordered more Biotin Bursts and the Chocolate Mint Beauty Bursts Chews.

Today we're looking at three topical products that aid in the care and restoration of your skin.

Neocell, Collagen+C Liposome Serum

I found that the Collagen +C Liposome Serum is much like other brands of serum in the way it is applied and how it feels on the skin. I applied the serum to my cleansed skin and then allowed it to dry. Prior to applying the serum I used the Alpha Cell Exfoliator (see below) - but I only use this once every day or so. After applying the serum, I used moisturizer (day type or night type depending on time of day). Then make up for the day was applied.

I like the soft, tightened feel this gives my skin without feeling taunt, and love the antioxidant protective qualities it provides. I can recommend this for my readers.

Product Description (provided by Neocell)

• Time Release Serum with Vitamin C & E Complex
• Potent Antioxidant
• Protects & Rejuvenates
• Vitamin C & Vitamin E
• Paraben Free

Collagen+C Liposome Serum is made using time-release micro-capsules that penetrate the skin to deliver collagen stimulating ingredients and potent antioxidant where the skin needs them most. Fat-soluble Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and phospho-lipids containing essential fatty acids to enhance the skin's firmness, elasticity, and moisture.
Suggested Use: Once or twice daily, gently smooth a few drops on clean skin over face and neck.

Neocell, Alpha Cell Exfoliator, Step ll

I have used a variety of "toners" in the past and essentially just gave up on them as being unnecessary, drying, and ineffective. Even the beauty industry - at least for awhile - advised that they were not good products. However, this Alpha Cell Exfoliator product is totally different and I love it. After cleansing the face, I simply use a little on a cotton ball and rub it all over my face and neck. NOTE: I am very careful to avoid the eye area. This product is not for use around the eyes.

I like that it removes the last vestiges of makeup or other products. It also leaves a marvelous feeling to the skin. Actually, I have noticed that it leaves a bit of a residue that is obviously the ingredients at work. After my face dries, I apply the Neocell Collagen +C Lipsome Serum, etc. (see above)

I can encourage my readers to use this product.

Product Description (provided by Neocell)Step II - Cell Exfoliator Natural fruit acid & green tea extracts. Improve skin's texture. Dissolves dead cells on the surface. Reveals fresh, radiant-looking skin. A clear liquid exfoliator which dissolves dead cells on skin's surface. Reveals fresh, younger looking skin, smoothens fine lines, evens skin tone and revives skin's youthful radiance. Made of natural fruit acid extracts and green tea. Alpha Cell Exfoliator Benefits: Smoothens coarse skin and enlarged pores. Softens fine aging lines. Penetrates quickly.

Suggested Use: Use cotton ball, apply moderate amount over clean, dry skin. Do not apply directly around eyes.
Ingredients include (partial list): Purified water, glycolic acid, kola extract, matte extract, .....

Neocell, Refreshing Herbal Mist

Sometimes we just fall in love with a product and want to spread that love around a bit. With the Refreshing Herbal Mist I did just that. I have already bought two more to share with my daughters. 

I just love the way I can pick this up, take off my glasses, close my eyes and spray (or mist) away. Doesn't mess up the hair or makeup. 

Goes on any time, any where. And it is so much better than any of this type of misting product I have tried in the past. It leaves a glow to the skin and a freshness that is wonderful.

Again, a product I can highly recommend to my readers.

Product Description (provided by Neocell)

• On-The-Go Moisture Complex
• Refreshing Hydration
• Skin Balancing Herbs
• Collagen & Vitamins
• Paraben Free
• Nutrients You Can Trust

Collagen Herbal Mist is a refreshing cool mist that leaves a layer of moisturizing collagen, essential vitamins, balancing herbs, free radical scavengers, and soothing aloe vera on skin and hair to keep them hydrate and revitalized. Oil free, lanolin free, no artificial fragrance.
Suggested Use - Close eyes, press pump firmly to spray over skin or hair. Let dry. May be worn over makeup and moisturizer, in the office, sun, or anywhere dryness is a problem.
