Reviva Labs Newly Formulated Alpha Lipoic Acid, Vitamin C Ester & DMAE Cream Review + ($115) Giveaway! (5 Winners!)–Ends May 11, 2016

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**


A few years ago, I introduced you to Reviva Labs and shared my experiences with you of some of their amazing natural skin care products.  One of my all-time favorites was their #366 Alpha Lipoic Acid, Vitamin C Ester & DMAE Cream for the beautiful way this night cream dealt with anti-aging.  However, the product has been improved so it works even harder to preserve a youthful face with the addition of a powerful antioxidant, palmitoyl tripeptide-5 for bolstering the firming effects of its DMAE.

Reviva Labs Newly Formulated Alpha Lipoic Acid, Vitamin C Ester & DMAE Cream

I had no idea how much better this new formula would work, but I loved the original and was happy to test it out and make a comparison with this review and giveaway. 

To begin with, I got to say this version was gentler than the last time that I used it.  This might be because I have been using just a plain moisturizer for my day cream instead of an anti-aging product for a while lately since my complexion was getting irritated from too much anti-aging and this allowed my skin to recoup. 

Another thing that I noticed about this newly formulated #366 was that it did leave my skin with more brightness almost immediately than the first one.  My complexion the next morning afterwards seemed to gain a sense of luminosity that wasn’t there before.  

I also am amazed at how my pores seem to be shrinking daily.  You may think that I’m exaggerating but the texture of my skin is becoming so smooth and more flawless all the time that you find yourself going to the mirror more often to check what’s happening on the face front.  

My fine lines did seem to disappear much sooner and were gone within the first week.  My laugh lines are deeper and a work in progress. Still, they did fill in a bit and it’s been hardly that long since I recently been using this to see what else this new formulation will pull off.

Don’t assume that if you spend wads of money on skin care products that it will guarantee perfect skin. All your wrinkles may not all go away with this new #366 from Reviva Labs, but your overall complexion will never look better when using Alpha Lipoic Acid, Vitamin C Ester & DMAE Cream and you won’t go broke in the process to keep looking young.  This is my honest opinion so try it and see the truth for yourself on your own gorgeous face.

True Holiday Spirit Comes in Unexpected Ways

The holiday spirit can surprise you in how it can be delivered.

The true spirit of the holidays was never so apparent as it was for me recently when I received a surprise gift of a beautiful calender and pen from Reviva Labs along with an insightful poem from the company’s founder, Mr. Strassler himself, just a week before Christmas. The words that poem he carefully selected and his personal message came just in time to lift my spirits after an upsetting thing happened that accidentally caused me to scald myself with a full cup of hot chocolate just a few days before.

I don’t know how my sleeve got in the way of my cup, but strange things do happen when you least expect it and the hot chocolate fell completely into my lap, scalding me between the legs.  If this happens to you, immediately have someone pour a pitcher of cold water on you first before attempting to strip.  However, I was in shock since my jogging pants absorbed the hot beverage like a sponge and just hurried to peel them off as fast as I could.

The pain was intense because the skin between your legs is rather delicate.  Anyway, I kept splashing my burns with cold water trying to cool the skin down before remembering I had aloe vera gel in the house. Desperate to try anything to ease my suffering quickly, I hurried and squeezed out big globs of it over my wounds.  This really helped reduce some of the initial redness and a bit of the stinging with it while I waited for pain relievers to kick in.

I was in no condition to drive myself to any doctor’s office or emergency room.  Even if I had a way to get there, I couldn’t get dressed and have material near my skin.  What I did land up doing was applying antibiotic ointment with gauze pads and medical tape to my wounds, which developed huge blisters.  

I also had to learn to sleep on my back with my legs apart just so they would not touch to cause more pain.  

I was unable to wear normal clothes.  Instead, I had to do my work wearing nightgowns as I wrote. Spending all day dressed in soft flannel gowns might be less restricting, but it can be cold in the Winter with all that air up your legs.  I compensated for that with heavy robes so I looked like a green bear with knee socks to keep my calves warmer.

To make it even worse, I had a filling a few days earlier before this happened that needed adjusting since it was causing pain in the muscles, being too high.  I was lucky that my mother wore a larger size so I could borrow her baggy pants so my guy could drive me to the dentist to take care of my problem. 

Fortunately for me, my dentist works Saturdays and has a wonderful receptionist that fit me in and didn’t keep me waiting once I arrived in this filled room.  To hold my taped gauze in place, I had an elastic bandage on as well, hoping it would provide more protection against the fabric as I walked.

The elastic bandage was a mistake.  It started to become loose as I walked oddly, trying to keep it up the best I could, wearing huge pants.   I must have looked like a drunken cowboy from the way I swayed back and forth, which was too bad because my mouth also hurt and I needed that filling fixed.   Thankfully, my filling was taken care of and one pain was soon gone so I could rush back home and return to my nightgown.

Trying to write and stay focused when you’re in pain was difficult, especially when you’re wearing nightgowns for over a week and even now as I type this is not fun.

And yet, the thought of the beautiful spirit of Ann from Reviva Labs and Mr. Strassler with that gift cheered me up more than you could possibly know.  Once I thanked them and explained how much it helped me through this hot chocolate ordeal, they went a step further.

A few days later, I received another gift from Reviva Labs.  Mr. Strassler sent me, a virtual stranger, a bottle of their Willard Water Anti-Irritant Gel with hopes to bring me relief.  Can you imagine how much that gift touched me?  If only the world had more such compassionate people in it like Ann and Mr. Strassler and the way they thought of me, it would be a much better place to be than its current sad state.

Their aloe vera gel is discontinued and I hope Mr. Strassler changes his mind about that because it does help burns. Most people probably think they have time to run out and buy something when the unexpected burn happens.  Trust me, this is not always the case and a product like their Willard Water Anti-Irritant Gel should be in everyone’s home because I know my pain would have been so much worse without aloe vera gel.

Whatever your religion, I wish you and your family peace and love with all sincerity that those feelings spread and replace all the hatred that seems to be in our world. Miracles can happen at any time, why not start today with each of us?  Who knows what we could accomplish if we only tried to show each other more compassion and understanding? 

Reviva Labs Varicose Veins Lotion With Vitamin P Review + ($115) Giveaway (5 Winners!)–Ends December 27, 2015

If you have someone that hurts because of swollen feet, this bottle of Reviva Labs Varicose Veins Lotion With Vitamin P could be the best gift you might give them.

All the extra time that you’ll be spending on your feet revolved around holiday shopping, cooking, cleaning, and the like can also make you suffer.  Even if you don’t have varicose veins, standing too long or spending too much time in the wrong shoes can make the feet swell. Therefore, I have an early holiday gift for you from Reviva Labs with this review and giveaway of the Varicose Veins Lotion with Vitamin P.

I reviewed this product based on my mother’s experience in an earlier post.  With all my heart, I can tell you that lotion really works on circulation with its hesperidin and horse chestnut. My mother was getting to the point that practically all her shoes would not fit from her swollen her feet would get.  Ever since she got her first bottle, she has been using this lotion every morning and it has enabled her shoes to fit much better.  A few pairs of her shoes are even loose.

I am not getting paid to tell you this.  Instead, I am sharing this because swollen feet are painful and if this happens to you or someone you love, please look into trying Reviva Labs Varicose Veins Lotion with Vitamin P ($23) because it definitely helps!  

Thanks to Reviva Labs, five lucky Nuts 4 Stuff readers in the United States wins the 8-oz. bottle of Varicose Veins Lotion with Vitamin P.

Reviva Labs Winter Skin Care Solution Review & ($114.50) Giveaway–Ends November 27, 2015

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Reviva Labs Winter Skin Solution of five products

If you want to turn heads in time for the holidays, it helps to have great skin that doesn’t show signs of dryness or loss of vitality.  With the Winter skin care solution from Reviva Labs that I have been using, you can stop worrying because these five products will not disappoint you in the least.  

To begin and end my day, I started with their Organic Cleansing Milk.  Massaging in a few drops of this creamy emulsion first thing in the morning to wash it before rinsing cleanses skin gently without stripping oils from your complexion with its certified organic ingredients, vitamins, and plant oils.  When I glanced in the mirror, my skin looked cleaner, but also a bit brighter.  My complexion also felt soft, smooth and supple.  At night, this same product removed my makeup quite well.  I can’t say that I tested this with waterproof products only the regular variety.

During the days lately, I have been Reviva Labs Antioxidant Skin Smoothing Day Cream that has alpha lipoic acid, vitamins C and E, green tea and black tea extracts in addition to multiple beneficial oils like squalene, fruit oils, plant oils, and hyaluronic acid besides other skin nourishing ingredients.  This isn’t an overly thick cream, but has a fluffier, creamy texture that absorbs easily into the skin.  For someone with a dry skin problem like myself, it addressed it without making my complexion greasy.  My fine lines appeared less noticeable and overall my skin looked healthier.

I also had a chance to try out Reviva Labs Collagen-Fiber Eye Pad Kit.  Inside, you get four sets of two eye pads and a bottle of their mineral-rich Skin Energizing Gel.  The purpose of this energizing seaweed gel is to spur the collagen pads treated with myoxinol to help mimick a botox-like effect for wrinkles around the eye area.

What I did was apply a bit of the Energizing Skin Gel to the clean under eye area first to prep it before placing a dry Collagen Pad over each eye.  Next, I wet a washcloth and slowly dabbed it over the pads enough so they can better shape to adhere over the eyes.  Once I accomplished how well they molded over my eyes, I allowed them to dry and work on improving my eye area.  This took about 15 to 20 minutes before you remove them.

The first time that I removed these pads, my usual morning puffiness didn’t look as bad.  However, I noticed a big improvement over the next few times of using these pads because that puffiness issue vanished. Furthermore, the fine creases were less noticeable as well when I examined them up close.

My hands and the rest of my body had the loving protection of their Alpha Lipoic Acid, Olive Oil & DMAE Hand & Body Lotion.  This is a great anti-aging formula that repairs and firms for silkier feeling skin.  I loved using lotion especially after stepping out of the tub or shower to slather over my slightly damp skin to moisturize.  

Last on my new exploration of Reviva Labs products, I tried their Collagen Regeneration Cream with Tissue Growth Factor.  Seriously, this product is capable of giving you baby-soft skin–-this is what it did for me.  It won’t end or do away with all your wrinkles, but it will renew the complexion enough that they won’t be such as issue since your skin will be glowing too much to notice.

What impresses me the most about Reviva Labs and all their natural skin care products that I have had the pleasure to review are that they live up to their claims for what these can do and at a reasonable price.  They might skip the fancy jars because what matters is the ingredients inside-–and Reviva Labs always delivers quality in my experience.  So do check their products out because you will be glad that you did.

Do You Want a Better Way to Minimize Facial Redness?

A big synthetic brush can be your best friend.

Rosacea can be frustrating to deal with when attempting to minimize that redness.  Though I don’t personally have this condition, I know the difficulty it presents because my mother has it to contend with. However, she has found some great tricks when using color-correcting bases that she wanted me to share with others dealing with the same problem.

When she first started using a color-correcting product, she always used to put it on with her fingers.  Afterwards, she mentioned that it seemed to make the redness more noticeable.  Of course, the heat of her fingers as she worked that makeup in was what made the problem worse.  Then, I made a suggestion for her to try a synthetic brush.

My first thought was a foundation brush.  You would assume it would be ideal for this purpose, but it went on a bit too heavy in spots.  Finally, it hit us.  We just needed to use a bigger brush like a powder brush to apply the product.

If you want to minimize that redness with makeup and be happier with the results, you will improve your coverage if you try using a synthetic powder brush to apply it.  This size of brush really makes this sort of coverage so much better.

Another tip that honestly helps is Reviva Lab’s Spider Vein & Rosacea Day Cream with vitamin P.  (By the way, I don’t gain financially for telling you this, but what I do gain is helping you in the same way this product helped my mother).  It really lightens the red color and improves the texture of the skin while protecting with SPF.  In fact, it might even help you use less makeup to cover it as well.

Sometimes, the simplest changes can often help the most.  So here's to you staying beautiful instead of miserable!

Mary to the Rescue With a Helpful Trick to Relieve Swollen Feet!

You will be shocked at how much relief your swollen feet will get following this simple fix.

If your feet have a tendency to swell when you are on them too long, I have a helpful tip that really does bring fairly quick relief.  You need to set aside five or ten minutes for this fix to work, but I promise it is well worth it.  

What you should do is grab two pillows or cushions and take them to your bedroom or wherever you have room to stretch out and recline.   Now place both pillows or cushions stacked at the foot of your bed and get comfortable so that your feet after you lay down will be elevated higher than your head.

This position works because it lessens that build up of fluids that is causing that pain.

I also highly recommend getting a bottle of a vitamin P enriched lotion from Reviva Labs.  It is called Varicose Vein Lotion, which honestly does help with swelling for this problem.  I wrote about the product earlier, please read that review because it will further help.

Just try this fix and you’ll feel so much better.  I promise!  

Reviva Labs Healing Beauty Products Assortment Review + ($83) Giveaway!–Ends July 23, 2015

Disclaimer: This post is based on a free product provided by a company as a press sample so that I may offer my own opinion, which may be the same or differ from yours.

Healing beauty products from Reviva Labs

I have reviewed many excellent skin care products from Reviva Labs.  However, I am over the top with happiness that I discovered the healing beauty products sent for this review and giveaway because they have truly made a difference for my mother’s rosacea and the problem with her feet swelling.  

My mother has tried a few other skin care products to help with the rocasea on her nose.  Some have lightened it somewhat, but the problem was the skin still felt hard and peeled.  Therefore, I wanted her to try Reviva Lab’s Spider Vein & Rosacea Day Cream #261 to see if the product would fare better.  

This cream has vitamin P (rutin and citrus bioflavanoids) for help in strengthening the skin’s capillary walls to cut down on that redness as it is aiding circulation to keep the trapped blood moving.  It also has wonderful moisturizing powers from ingredients like hydrogenated soy protein, grapeseed extract, wild yam extract as well as UV-A and UV-B sunscreen protection.  She has been using this product for just two weeks now and only in the mornings, but the skin is lighter and smoother with this product than anything else she has tried--including a sample of prescription treatment from her doctor!  

This was great news, but what impressed me even more was Reviva Labs other product that had Vitamin P in it for her swelling problem with their Varicose Veins Lotion #262. My mother has lots of these tiny spider veins in the calves near the ankle.  She has swelling on the top of her foot and ankle.  

The directions of the Varicose Veins Lotion said to apply it in the mornings, which we did regularly after first washing her legs and feet with the Seaweed Soap #568 to help stimulate circulation.  What is amazing is this lotion with its Vitamin P to constrict that blood flow immediately started fading some of those veins from sight.  This is the first thing that I noticed.  

What complicates the problem for my mother is that she has other issues that affect her walking like a bad knee from arthritis and a hammer toe that make wearing shoes even more painful when walking.  I can honestly say that I am so thankful that this product is sold because it helped that swelling enough that she fit better into her shoes without as much friction from her toes that already have corns and blisters.  

Anyone that has a swelling problem with their legs, I can’t tell you how highly I recommend trying this product.  To see my mother walking better just by rubbing on this lotion until we can get a permanent solution for her hammer toes and bad joints are a small miracle in itself.  

The other product I wanted her to try was Reviva Labs RevitalEYES for Eyelids #213.  I wish that I can could say all her lines went away, but this would not be true.  This is a lightweight serum that used mornings and nights that did help smooth out the skin around her eyes.  It did make the area softer without leaving it too slick or sticky.  She can be quite sensitive to skin care products but this was gentle and did not cause her problems in that area either. 

At night, my mother began using the Elastin Night DMAE Cream for Firming #385.  She just started using this cream for a little over two weeks, but likes the velvety feel it gives her skin. It’s still too early to notice how much the DMAE and those concentrated amino acids work in firming her wrinkles.  However, it is giving her complexion a nice texture that is lifting her spirits as well, which is beautiful to see in itself.

If you have rosacea or swelling in your legs like my mother, do try these Reviva Labs products first and also tell your doctor about them for your next visit.  This is what she will be doing for her next appointment.

Once again, Reviva Labs has come out a winner in my eyes for their amazing skin care products and now sensational healing beauty products. Do look into their website and browse because they can help you look and feel better too!

Reviva Labs Three-Step Layering Anti-Aging System Review ($99) Giveaway!–Ends April 14, 2015

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Reviva Labs Three-Step Layering System

In order to have the most beautiful, youthful complexion possible, you need to resurface the skin and get rid of dead cells first.  Reviva Labs’s three-step layering system of Collagen Serum, 5% Glycolic Acid Night/Day Cream, and the Nasolabial Fold +Multi-Peptide Cream that I was sent for this review/giveaway are a good place to start. 

Over the time that I have been using those products for gently exfoliating while gradually regenerating the complexion with the nourishing elements it needs, I have watched my skin flourish.  How I began to accomplish this feat was simple.  I started with their Collagen Serum #307 after each cleansing mornings and nights. 

The next step was giving myself a patch test with a small amount of 5% Glycolic Acid Night/Day Cream #381 on my inner arm first to determine how sensitive I might be to the product I was about to follow with.  It did tingle slightly, but it wasn’t anything that bothersome that I would need to take it off.  

In fact, my face must have gotten used to that Glycolic Acid Cream because I didn’t notice it after awhile or then again it might have been soothed from the Nasolabial Fold + Multi-Peptide Cream #402 that I applied next.  This cream was specifically formulated to help plump up the fat pad at the sides of your cheeks, which drop more as we age.  I don’t know the exact science of how this cream’s abundance of various peptides to stimulate collagen synthesis gets activated or sets off this layering system, but I can tell you my complexion was smoother by the end of the first week.   

Like I hawk, I kept a sharp eye on those two deeper lines that I have on the sides of my nose to mouth. However, I didn’t see too much get excited over until several weeks later.  At first, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.  I even had to do a double take before getting second opinions because those two deep lines looked more filled in.  Nothing in a jar is going to erase all time from your face completely, but this certainly gives the face a lift! 

I am more than pleased with Reviva Lab’s three-step layering system, regardless of how long that beautiful improvement lasts since my skin feels so remarkably soft and dewy as well.  Do try these products because you will like them.

Thanks to Reviva Labs, one lucky Nuts 4 Stuff reader in the United States wins the entire three-step layering system of a Reviva Labs Collagen Serum, Nasolabial Fold + Multi-Peptide Cream and 5% Glycolic Acid Night/Day Cream ($99 total value)!

Reviva Labs High-Potency Elastin and DMAE Concentrate Firming Serums Review

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Reviva Labs Elastin Serum and DMAE Firming Serums

Taking the best care of your complexion means using a skin care regime that is simple, affordable, and works for you.  Reviva Labs is one such company that I always seem to have nice results using whether with their anti-aging creams, serums or masks to the various other products they have sent me to review. When invited to try their High-Potency Elastin Serum and DMAE Concentrating Firming Serums, of course, I had to say yes!

Elastin is the protein found in connective tissues, which give skin bounce and firmness. Unfortunately, not only with age, but harsh weather, too much sun, stress, and smoking also deplete it. However, Reviva Lab’s formula, which originally launched in 1979 as ampules, addressed that need in a professional strength product.  

DMAE also helps firm, but not in the same way.  Since it is a nutritional substance that helps trigger acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that causes muscles to contract, the DMAE Concentrate Firming Serum is what could help increase muscle tone.

It was recommended to use both products together only alternating between them for the best results, which was what I did. 

In keeping with their outstanding record as far as my face is concerned, their High-Potency Elastin Serum ($27) and DMAE Concentrate Firming Serums ($19) that I used for more than a month now and alternating between has somehow even surpassed my expectations for plumping up some fine lines.

Do visit Reviva Labs and look into picking up both the High-Potency Elastin Serum and DMAE Concentrate Firming Serum to use as I did for maximum benefits.  These can help get your face ready for the holidays!

Reviva Labs Skin Energizing Gel

Can you imagine a product that can help with anti-aging efforts so whatever skin care cream, serum, or lotion you use will work harder?  If you think this is impossible, then you haven't experienced what I have been using lately.  Let me introduce you to Skin Energizing Gel from natural skin care brand, Reviva Labs.

Massaging a few drops of this gel first to your clean face and neck before any day or night cream penetrates your skin at a deeper level.  The way this product works is through the use of electrically charged trace ocean minerals to stimulate circulation.  Seaweed minerals also have proven anti-aging benefits and will help with your skin's moisturizing abilities.  

I have been using this product for several weeks along with my usual day and night creams.   I really thought my products gave me beautiful results.  However, I was stunned at how much prettier my complexion is suddenly looking. 

I can hardly believe the $10 price for what this 2-fl. oz. bottle can do to really refine your skin.  Do look into Reviva Labs Skin Energizing Gel and discover a shorter path to more beautiful reflection! 

Reviva Labs Dry Winter Skin & Anti-Aging Products Review + ($131) Giveaway! (2 Winners!)--Ends February 28, 2013

Reviva Labs Winter Skin Solution

Often skin care products that you relied on in less severe weather fall short of what you need now to adequately hydrate while still combating those fine lines and wrinkles.  Therefore, the only alternative is to adjust your skin care treatments.  A great place to start is with the Reviva Labs products.

For a month now, I have been experimenting with seven skin care products that I thought would be best for tackling that increased dryness and also anti-aging concerns.  The items I chose were the #201 Organic Day Cream with Alpha Lipoic Acid, #214 Vitamin E Oil Stick, #381 5% Glycolic Acid Night/Day Cream, #307 High Potency Collagen Serum, #306 Nourishing Cream, #369 Hyaluronic Acid Serum, and #570 Moisture Bar with Goat's Milk.

I followed two different rotations of this Reviva Labs regime so I could get the most help for keeping my skin youthful as well as moisturized without irritating already delicate skin.  Let me tell you my routine and the products I used because they were fabulous choices for how beautiful my complexion looks these days.

Mornings and evenings meant cleansing with #570 Moisture with Goat's Milk Bar.  This gentle, sweet-smelling soap lathers exceptionally well as it baby's your skin with softness and comforting moisture as you wash.  Using this heavenly soap may just tempt you into skipping a moisturizer with how fabulous your face feels afterwards.  No joke, readers, this is the best soap ever--and it sells for $4.00!

Next I followed with #307 High Potency Collagen Serum first in the morning for the first rotation of these products.  I started using this product under my current moisturizer, but it felt too heavy.  Then, I switched to trying the serum alone and it didn't leave me with a slick shine.  This was a fast-absorbing serum that left me comfortable without weighing my skin down.

Nights in the first rotation went this way.  I used the 5% Glycolic Acid Night/Day Cream #381 after cleansing and then I went back to the #307 High Potency Collagen Serum and applied over that cream. This was advised to help cut down on possible irritation.  Since I do have fairly sensitive skin, I thought it was my best option.

Regardless of my routine, I always made sure to use #214 Vitamin E Oil Stick to lubricate the eye area and help my lips both days and nights.  Sometimes, I even applied after meals to keep my lips extra smooth.

However, I alternated products.  I switched back and forth daily, one day the first regime and the following one, the second.

After cleansing, I dabbed on some of the #201 Organic DayCream with Alpha Lipoic Acid to start the second regime.  Alpha Lipoic Acid is an antioxidant that your own body makes to get rid of cell damaging free radicals.  This formula takes that acid and another antioxidant of a complex of green tea in combination with vitamins and oils in this hard-working cream to nourish and repair.
   
Nights on those days meant using #306 Nourishing Cream. This formula was originally intended for those with thin, papery skin due to age or illness. Though I don't know how to determine how thick my skin is, I thought those beneficial ingredients could possibly do the trick to solve my own dilemma. 

With how dry my skin had become, I decided to use the #369 Hyaluronic Acid Serum before that application of Nourishing Cream to help plump and restore the health of my skin even further.  This serum was the miracle that locked in lasting moisture because once I woke there was a dewiness to my complexion that had a new life.

After four weeks, I can tell you that those Reviva Labs products were my cures for healing dry winter skin.  You may not notice a huge difference over night, but I can promise you that you will see great  improvements if dry, aging skin is what you suffer from as well.  My dry patches are now gone.  The texture is smoother, the pores are more refined, and even my fine lines and wrinkles look better.  

The more products that I discover from Reviva Labs, the more impressed and happy I am with my new skin care finds.  Do it and discover their wonders because beautiful skin doesn't have to cost you a fortune anymore!

Reviva Labs DMAE Anti-Aging Products & Light Skin Peel Review + ($111) Giveaway!--Ends June 20, 2012

Reviva Labs DMAE Anti-Aging Product and Light Skin Peel 

As always, I am on the hunt for the best products to share with you.  Today, I want to tell you about my latest discovery in the battle against aging with DMAE related products from Reviva Labs.

DMAE is naturally occurring and works as an antioxidant membrane stabilizer.  According to the research that I read, DMAE is the first proven ingredient to actually have some positive effect on facial sagging.  Being curious, I had to see for myself if those claims were justified.  You may want to read this review carefully because what I am about to introduce you to will make you look at least five years younger or maybe more!

Before I started with the Reviva Lab's DMAE regime, I wanted to see how their #107 Light Skin Peel Exfoliant performed to shed the dead layers of my skin before applying the two creams and eye cream I was about to test.  According to the directions, this product is meant to be used once a week. 

Unlike some skin peel treatments that you dab on with a cotton ball, this #107 Light Skin Peel is a cream that I applied to my freshly washed face.  I did not wash it off.  Instead, I let it dry for about five or ten minutes.  This is an extremely gentle peel that tightens the complexion and did not cause any redness.  When it was time to remove this product, I used my fingers to rub it off over my sink.  What I was left with was the smoothest skin you could possibly imagine, which was the perfect environment for deeper penetration with those DMAE products.

The next morning I started my experiment.  I dabbed and softly patted the delicate skin around my eye about five times as directed with the creamy white #368 DMAE Alpha Lipoic Acid & Vitamin C Ester Firming Eye Serum first.  I used this quickly absorbing and non-greasy product mornings and nights.

Here's my routine.  In the mornings, I followed with the Reviva Labs #302 Peptides & More Anti-Wrinkle Cream and switched it out at nights with #366 Alpha Lipoic Acid, Vitamin C Ester & DMAE Cream.

The first day I worked with these products I could feel something happening on my face.  I guess this was my skin becoming acquainted with the products and it was only temporary.  The next day, however, that initial feeling on my skin was gone.  This was not discomfort just the very slightest tingle that you knew it was there.

I have been using these new Reviva Labs products a few weeks now.  And honesty, I tell you I do look at least five years younger than before I started.  You may think this is bunch of hype but I have two wrinkles at the sides of my cheeks that are virtually erased.  I have only the finest two lines now.  Furthermore, the fine creasing around my eyes firmed up as well.  Overall, my skin tone looks healthier with a more refined texture and a remarkable renewed radiance that is truly amazing.

I know a friend that had Botox done.  She had herself injected with this poison just to look younger.  The truth was her cheeks where it was injected gave her an unrealistic appearance.  Her wrinkles were totally gone with no evidence of even any faint line.  Instead her cheeks were puffed out and looked hard like marble.  So why risk your health with an expensive procedure that needs to done on a regular basis when you can use these excellent DMAE alternatives?

I have tried lots of great anti-aging products on my face.  But the results I got from this grouping far exceeded my expectations when it comes to truly looking younger.  I am being sincere, readers, Reviva Labs knows what they're doing and you owe it to yourself to try these for yourself.  You will thank me later for telling you about this!  

To give you a clue, I am so hooked on Reviva Labs DMAE products that I definitely want to try the #301 DMAE Firming Serum soon for comparison to that #366 Alpha Lipoic Acid, Vitamin C Ester & DMAE Cream.  

*Disclaimer:  This is my own honest opinion.  No money was exchanged.  All I received were free products to facilitate this review.*

Thanks to Reviva Labs, one lucky Nuts 4 Stuff reader in the United States wins full sizes of the Light Skin Peel Exfoliant, Peptides & More Anti-Wrinkle Cream, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Vitamin C Ester & DMAE Cream, and the DMAE Alpha Lipoic Acid & Vitamin C Ester Firming Eye Serum ($111 value)!
