Ultimate Facial Serum


It's about time I revealed my best kept secret product.  I honestly have mixed feelings about sharing this because I don't want the price to change or for Essential Wholesale to run out!

My all time favorite serum is called Ultimate Facial Serum from Essential Wholesale.  I've been sharing it with my close friends for years and they swear by it.  It started with me sharing it with them because the smallest batch you can order is 16 ounces.  Which is really more than anyone can use on their own before the batch expires.  We're talking about a serum here.  So if you do buy a batch of Ultimate Facial Serum, by all means, share it with your friends.  Literally spread the love.

That said, the ingredients in this serum are absolute top notch.  Vitamins A, B, C, E and DMAE are just a few of the amazing ingredients.  Coenzyme Q10, tons of fruit extracts, and niacinamide are in there as well kids.  It's just packed with good, strong stuff.

Some of my friends swear it helps reduce and prevent their acne.  Others claim it creates a wonderful healthy glow.  All of this is true for me.  Basically, it seems to help greatly with the cell turnover and firmness of my skin and who doesn't need that?  Well, if you're in your 20's you may not need that.  Just saying.

It might be a little intense for sensitive skin.  So ease into it if you have these issues.  Maybe start every other day for example.  I'm pretty sensitive and I can tolerate it but truth be told, I can feel it working.  Not in a bad way.  It doesn't hurt or anything and I don't experience redness or get a rash.  I just feel a little extra warmth.  It's a myth that you shouldn't feel your products working by the way.  Don't believe that if you want results.  Do me a favor though and stop using this product if you develop a rash OK?  You are obviously too much of a hot house flower for this one.  Don't let this caveat scare you off!  Be brave!  Give it a shot.    

Serums with ingredients like these go for at least $30 for two ounces.  Here you are getting 16 ounces for less than that.  Perricone sells a six ounce serum with high levels of DMAE for $145.  Seriously, do the math.  

It's very emollient so I tend to use a dime size amount daily with a lighter moisturizer.  Also, it doesn't contain hyaluronic acid so make sure you're getting that elsewhere if you're over 35.  My Pack Gel takes care of that.  By the way, I often add it to the hyaluronic lotion I use for my Lotion Masks.  That combination really packs a punch.

Vitamin A (retinyl palmitate) means you will be more sensitive to the sun so don't you dare go outside without sunscreen!  Don't make me come after you!  

Anyway, I was recently without this for a while and it really reminded me how much I absolutely love this stuff.  I hope you love it too.

The Controversial Ordinary

Image
So recently I dealt with a difficult loss. I was in pretty bad shape and after a week or so found myself looking at a truly messed up stranger in the mirror. Facebook must have known I needed a distraction because I found myself part of this new group about all things The Ordinary along with another group called FOREVER 35 . Lord did I go down the rabbit hole. These were my people. Just as obsessed with skincare as I normally am. I dare say even worse. The concept of The Ordinary is right up my alley. Individual ingredients sold separately for shockingly low prices. I'm the person who at times has purchased ingredients wholesale in bulk to make my own moisturizer. So this of course intrigued me. Now I want to preface this by saying you really do need to do your research before buying all of The Ordinary products and slapping them on your face. This is pretty potent stuff. One poor soul posted a photo today of a nasty chemical burn on her cheek from putting a high concentrate

Huxley Secret of Sahara Oil Essence; Essence-Like, Oil-Like

Image
My dearest husband surprised me for my birthday last year by going to a beauty store in Korea Town, Los Angeles to buy me skin care. He says he finally figured it out. Skincare for me is like records and CDs are to him. I feel seen. Thanks to the advice of some clearly knowledgeable sales clerks in Korea Town, he got me some truly delightful products. But for me to blog about a product I have to be madly in love. For the record I am currently out of my Huxley Oil Essence and it is frankly affecting my self esteem. This is not an exaggeration. Therefore it occurs to me that I really do need to spread the love on this one. From what I understand Huxley is a favorite among flight attendants. Air travel is very dehydrating, I can see why they love it. Is it an oil? Is it an essence? Is it a serum? I don't know. What is called a lotion in the US is not what is called a lotion in Korea. I have found that what I call a serum may or may not be described as an ampoule by someone el

To Good Genes or not to Good Genes. That is the Question.

There is a lot of buzz out there for the cult favorite GOOD GENES ($105). But Sunday Riley, the brand which makes this cult phenomenon is also cultivating a lot of buzz for bad business practices. I'm not one for supporting a company that fakes reviews. Maybe those fake reviews created the buzz to make GOOD GENES phenomenon; maybe they didn't. But in truth real people do love the product. Because lactic acid is an effective ingredient. Lactic acid, is lactic acid though. There are plenty of other brands that carry a good lactic acid product. For a one to one, meaning basically the same product/function, I actually prefer Tata Harper RESURFACING SERUM ($88). GOOD GENES is good but in my experience RESURFACING SERUM from Tata Harper is better and more effective. I recently discovered Thrive OVERNIGHT SENSATION Brightening Sleep Mask ($62) which combines glycolic and lactic acid and that is working well for me right now. I've happily used Peter Thomas Roth Unwrinkl
