Prescriptives Px Vibrant-C Skin Brightening Lotion Moisturizer

Many people think of foundation when they think of Prescriptives, and they do indeed have great foundation. I highly recommend getting color matched if you have not done so before!

But Prescriptives also makes some great skin care items in their Px line. I have previously used their skin tone correcting serum, which I think is now discontinued, and I love the PX intensive Rebuilding Moisturizer.

Based on my past good experiences, I was pretty happy to have the chance to try out Prescriptives Px Vibrant-C Lotion. This light moisturizer reminds me quite a bit of the skin brightening serum, which also focused on Vitamin C, except that it comes in a lotion form. The product has a good vitamin C tingle, which if anything like past Prescriptives Vitamin C products, should be fairly stable and do a decent job of actually brightening the skin and lightening mild melasma or hyperpigmentation. Because it is a moisturizer, it also can be used nicely over other skin lightening serums for creating a combination approach to melasma treatment. For example, I have been using it over my favorite treatment cleanser and serum from PCA Skin Care. It makes for a very nice combination, especially if you like using both serums and lotions.

As a light lotion moisturizer, Vibrant-C also stands out. I found that it absorbed quickly and completely, with only a small amount needed to get the desired effect of adding some light moisture. I suspect that I will be purchasing more of this product when the bottle that I was sent is empty.

Prescriptives has also added a skin brightening moisture cream to the line if you need a higher amount of moisture. They offer a skin brightening eye cream as well. Prescriptives can be found online at various department stores. For example, I usually get their products at Macys.

I also am trying Prescriptives Intensive Rebuilding Moisture-Rich Cleanser. So keep an eye out for a future post on that!

Prescriptives Here To Stay 24 Hour Mascara

I do believe that Prescriptives Here to Stay 24 Hour Mascara really would last beautifully for 24 hours or more. But I like my sleep, so I didn’t try to make it go that long. I did test it for about 16 hours though and it held up great.

This is a very nice waterproof mascara. It goes on smoothly and I had no problems with clumps. It lengthens quite well, and the black is a nice rich black. Nothing wimpy about it. I wore it all day with my contact lenses in and had no issues with flaking into my eyes and it looked just about as good that night as it did when I put it on in the morning. So I was left quite impressed.

Another bonus area on this one–use it alone for a waterproof mascara, or layer it over a non-waterproof one for a water resistant mascara. I like that for days when quick and easy removal is desired. Not that it was hard to remove with some eye makeup remover, but I do tend to like to be able to remove everything with a Pond’s cleanser pad.

Prescriptives is sold at various department stores and online.

Prescriptives PX Intensive Rebuilding Moisturizer

I tried a sample of Prescriptives Intensive Rebuilding Moisturizer over the past few evenings. I normally use Estee Lauder Daywear and am quite happy with it as a day product, but I have been interested in finding something without SPF for night use. I also use a Retin-A product at night and could use some extra moisture with that. I had read some good things about the Prescriptives Intensive Rebuilding Moisturizer, including its focus on hyaluronic acid (binds moisture) and glucosamine (recently shown to have positive effects on discoloration). I am also already a fan of their Skin Tone Correcting Serum from their PX line. So when I received a sample, I was excited to try it.

I was quite impressed. In fact, I was so impressed that I went to the Prescriptives site to possibly purchase some, but then paused. More on that in a bit….

The moisturizer feels wonderful. It goes on without feeling greasy, yet really packs a punch when it comes to fighting dry skin. I had been waking up a bit dry and flaky after using Retin-A, and found that I woke with no dryness or tightness. The flakes were gone! After just a few uses I felt hooked. My only complaint, and it is minor, is that the product has a slight almond smell. That is not my choice of aroma in a product, but I can live with it.

Thinking I had found my perfect night cream, I went to the prescriptives site to make a purchase. That is when I saw the $95 price tag (for 2 ounces). Hmmmmm, now I am left wondering whether I like this stuff $95 worth. My old system wasn’t failing, I just like this stuff better.

For now I will likely wait because I have several more samples to try and might find something a bit cheaper. But in the end, I just might decide that this cream is actually worth the price tag.
