Bliss Spa Peeling Groovy

April 9, 2009 By Carleenp Leave a Comment

Bliss Peeling Groovy Facial Serum is a basic light AHA serum that is perfect for easy and effective light exfoliation. I gave it a try over a period of a month and found that I got effective exfoliation with no irritation. I also found that it prevented blackheads for me quite nicely.

This one is a bit on the light side though. I did see a nice increase in general brightness of my skin, but it really had no effect at all on my areas of melasma or other discoloration. So those with more serious skin issues will likely want a stronger product or will want to add an additional item, such as a more powerful lightener or wrinkle treatment, to the mix.

M Lab Anti-Aging Eye Cream and Anti-Aging Treatment Serum

March 3, 2009 By Carleenp 2 Comments

I have been trying out some M Lab luxury skin care products and today I focus on two of my favorites, M Lab Anti-Aging Eye Cream, and M Lab Anti-Aging Treatment Serum.

M Lab focuses on including a high level of active treatment ingredients in every product. Their eye cream is wonderful stuff. It is deeply moisturizing, with quick absorption, and it has luxurious look and feel to it. My under eye area has been looking great ever since I started using the cream a month ago and it is up there with the best I have ever tried. There are a multitude of different active ingredients in this eye cream and details are available on the M Lab site. Unfortunately, it all also comes with a hefty price tag--$170 for .5 oz. So, as much as I love my sample, I can't quite jusitify spending that much for an eye cream. It is very good, but there are more affordable good eye creams out there as well.

Another M LAb favorite of mine is the treatment serum. This serum is formulated with 74% active ingredients and targets wrinkles, hydration, and pigmentation. It absorbs into the skin with a bit of tingling, but I didn’t find myself running into sensitivity issues with it. After a couple of weeks of nightly use, my skin definitely looks brighter. I love this serum, but as with the eye cream, it carries a high price--$275 for 1 oz. Again, it is lovely stuff, but I don't beleive that it merits that high of a high price tag.

Estee Lauder Perfectionist CP+ Wrinkle Lifting Serum

October 30, 2008 By Carleenp 1 Comment

Estee Lauder Perfectionist CP+ Wrinkle Lifting Serum is a peptide anti-aging serum aimed at collagen production. It is designed to be used daily, before applying moisturizer. A decent sized container runs around $55. I found that very little is needed and it absorbs very quickly. I haven’t used it long enough to speak about result though.

For October Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Estee Lauder has also released Perfectionist CP+ as part of its pink products collection. To find that version, visit your local Estee Lauder counter. If you are going to buy a fairly expensive serum, some of the cost might as well go to a good cause!
