Always conscious of an
ageing skin and the appearance of
fine lines and wrinkles and especially
puffiness around the eyes, I was keen to
test out these samples.
I was attracted
iRejuvenate because of their natural
key ingredients: in step 1, the
rice bran extract, rich in antioxidants, intended to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and the
organic argan oil, designed to revitalise the skin; step 2, amongst other ingredients, contains
organic Aloe Vera gel to hydrate and stimulate skin self repair.
iRejuvenate Pro-Youth Face Oil (Steps 1) and
Lifting Regenerating Skin Serum (Step 2) are designed to be
mixed together and applied morning and evening to a thoroughly
cleansed skin. I must
admit that I did not always apply them in the
morning, as having to
leave for work just before 7am, only allows time for the
bare essentials regarding facial
skin care! However I was
rigorous at applying the blended mixture before going to bed
at night.
The explicit instructions give
directions for use for oily, combination and dry/mature skin. Being a woman of
mature years, I chose the last
option!
The oil (
step 1) is pure and
free from parabens, petrochemicals, synthetic fragrances and colours, containing effective
anti-ageing ingredients and the serum (
step 2) is a powerful blend of
hydrating and softening plant ingredients, designed to
stimulate the skin regeneration process.
It was very
easy to apply with the fingertips, moving upwards from the
neck and chin, across the checks and forehead, being very careful to
circle gently around the eye area. I found the
combination of the two products was easily and quickly
absorbed into the skin and left my face feeling
soft, smooth and glowing.
I was
impressed with iRejuvenate and felt that my skin was more
hydrated and radiant and there was a reduction in
puffiness around the eye area. Whether my skin has actually been enhanced from some of the other key benefits, such as visibly
reducing dark circles, fine lines and wrinkles, I will have to leave to others to
judge!
I was only given a very
small sample to test, which wasn't really
sufficient to come to any definite
conclusion. It would have been
preferable had I been able to try out these products for a
longer period.
