As you know, I am a huge proponent of skin care. Especially effective skincare that is affordable (we all can’t be running around spending $200 on a jar of cream now can we?) In recent years, drugstore brands have stepped up their game and began producing products that not only rival the high end department store brands, sometimes they surpass them.
L’Oreal’s latest inventions Skin Genesis Oil-Free Moisturizer – $25.99 & Skin Genesis Serum Concentrate – $19.99 are definitely receiving high marks from even the most toughest of critics. I have been using both of these for the past two weeks and for the most part, my skin feels extremely toned . What I noticed immediately was that both products were absorbed almost immediately by my skin, most facial products sit on top for a while before they gradually sink in. This was gone in about 20 seconds – HUGE plus. Also it smelled great, nothing like having something you can’t stand right near your nose so chalk up another point. Now onto the science…
Technological Innovation: Pro – Xylane + Hyaluronic Spheres
L’Oreal
Research has developed patented Pro – Xylane™, a superior naturally -
derived molecule so small it can penetrate skin’s surface layers.
Combined with Hyaluronic Spheres, this complex boosts cell activity
layer by layer to strengthen skin.
Pro – Xylane™: A Unique Ingredient
- 100% naturally – derived from an environmentally friendly process called “Green Chemistry”
- Bio – assimilable, bio – degradable
- Delivered in an airless pump to protect its purity.
What does that mean?? It is definitley a breakthrough when it comes to innovation in skincare BUT if you are dry in any way shape or form I would use this sparingly. The serum lists alcohol as it’s third ingredient and the moisturizer lists glycerine as it’s fourth. Now this isn’t a HUGE deal for me as I tend to be oilier in the summer so this is an excellent summertime regimen for me. For the price, these are definitely keepers.
L’Oreal’s Skin Genesis line can be purchased at Drugstore.com or through major drugstore retailers nationwide.
Stay Pretty!!
