Missing Key Ingredients to Lighten and Lift!
Although my skin is happily in very good shape, I find myself to be increasingly demanding when it comes to choosing skin care products. A lot of my friends were raving about "Boots No. 7 Lift & Luminate" Day and Night Serums (about $25.00 for the pair), and so I indulged. The formulas are ultra-gentle, even for sensitive and highly allergic skin, and they are lightweight, seeping into your comp...read morelexion easily and seamlessly. The claims are that the appearance of wrinkles will be reduced, skin will be visibly lifted, and your overall tone will be more even and radiant. These are nice, silky moisturizers, to be sure, and will help to stave off wrinkles as opposed to not using a serum or moisturizer whatsoever (an SPF factor would be helpful here, too). But I'm becoming addicted to studying product ingredients (okay, okay, I do cave and fall for nice packaging as well). I love Ole Henriksen because the natural retinols in the products do indeed lighten brown spots, reverse damage, and improve texture (wrinkles included). NeoCutis has "processed skin cell proteins" which give an improvement in appearance very quickly. I see that the Boots "Day Serum" contains some Vitamin C, which in bulk will definitely lighten skin (so will licorice extract and some other natural substances). The amount contained in the serum is at the very end of the list, an amount not enough to bring about any change in the luminosity of your complexion. If a product doesn't have retinols, I look for complex peptides and forms of hyaluronic acid (NeoCutis is an example). These are missing as well. The poly-hydroxy acids which will lift skin claim to be present in the formulas, but I found them lacking as well. My skin felt softer after using the duo consistently. It looked better, too, but all in all I believe that the "powerhouse" ingredients needed to truly make your skin taut and glowing are missing in these. I wouldn't purchase them again. I'm glad I didn't spend more.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 4 people said helpful
