Aging is like a curse we are born to.  Though it is a natural part of life, it doesn't mean we have to accept what cruel tricks it does to our face and bodies.  Today, we have many more options at our disposal to help lessen skin damage and wrinkling than years ago.  Therefore, I was eager to try DermaCare Neuroscience Institute's Nevaline Anti-Aging Serum when approached by the company to review it.

Nevaline is advertised to enhance the aging skin's natural cell turnover with  DNP, a proprietary peptide. This peptide is said to help with anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation, anti-photodamage while stimulating hyaluronic acids necessary for skin regeneration, increasing moisture and firmness.

I have devoted the past month using Nevaline twice a day after washing with soap and warm water without any cold water to close my pores.  Now I think it's time to share my thoughts on this product with you. 

Here I will explain how this anti-aging serum performed on my face and as a good indicator of what you might expect week to week.

The first few days I started Nevaline I felt a tightening of my skin at work.  In fact, you could see the skin appeared somewhat pulled when you examined yourself in a mirror.  I can't say this was completely comfortable or moisturizing because it was not.  Truthfully, I think this was just my own body's way of adjusting to the product because it then became comfortable, but I still wouldn't call it a moisturizing formula.

I must point out that this is strictly an anti-aging product, not a moisturizer, which explains how it felt.  You can use it along with your moisturizer, if desired.  Although you can do that, I found no need once my skin adapted to the product.

By the middle of week one, I started noticing my complexion was gaining a better tone and clarity due to how the product was helping gradually peel some old skin cells away.  At the end of that week, I also noticed the two deeper wrinkles at the sides of my mouth weren't as deep, which excited me.

The second week I used this serum left more refinement of my pores and a bit more of a rosy glow.  Those two deeper wrinkles at the sides of my mouth were still there and just a bit more filled in than the first week.

By the third week, my overall complexion was even healthier looking and felt very smooth to the touch.   The two main wrinkles by my mouth were still not gone, but plumped about the same.  In fact, my skin was gaining such a beautiful texture.

After the fourth week, I must admit my skin looked luminous and was very soft.  However, I still had some slight evidence of those two main wrinkles.  Nonetheless, Nevaline helped improve the beauty of face from the condition it started with and I'm more than satisfied with that.  

This product retails for $299 and comes in a box of ten small dispensers of 3 ml each. This supply does last exceptionally longer than you might think.  I went through two dispensers in a month using it twice daily and still have eight left.

Don't expect miracles to happen overnight.  Nevaline does work to help rejuvenate the look of aging skin but it is gradual as it works on a steady basis doing its repairs.  Just know, it does perform when used faithfully as directed!

A Dermatologist's Secret to Stop a Sudden Pimple!


I'm sure this happened to you.  Your complexion is clear until out of the blue what feels like a boulder size pimple pops up to spoil your face.  To make matters worse, don't you notice that they show up when you need to look your extra best for something important--like a big interview, date, or party, etc.?

In my case, I always could predict when I might be called in for an important interview just by my nose.  A few days before I would get that call, I would find a huge zit on the tip of my nose like a beacon to show the way.

Sure, I tried to dry it up with acne products and even the home remedy of dabbing toothpaste with hopes that it would be gone in time.  Unfortunately, my efforts just caused more irritation and redness until my only solution was masking it the best I could with concealer and cosmetics, if I wanted to make the interview.

However, you don't have to suffer and go through what I did.  Here's what one dermatologist recommended that I later tried that works much better to stop that sudden pimple in its tracks. 

Wash your face in warm water with a gentle soap.  Don't think the more times you wash, the better your chances to dry that pimple up.  Instead, too frequent cleansing increases the oil and  can only make your problem worse.

Next, try treating that new pimple with a dab of hydrocortisone cream first before you put on any other acne product.  This product will help reduce the redness.  

Make sure to leave that  hydrocortisone cream dry for at least 10 minutes before following up with an acne treatment that has salicylic acid and sulfur.   Unlike a plain salicylic acid-based formula, both ingredients together won't dry the skin as badly.  

I hope this advice helps your complexion as much as it did for mine because this adjustment to your routine does seem to work better--and faster to clear skin!
