FOR THE SUN DAMAGED SKIN

“The vitamin-rich race serum makes gorgeous skin a waking - life reality.”

The Claim:

Experience Lisa Hoffman’s powerful cocktal of anti-aging ingredients to restore elasticity and firmness to the skin. It combines two of the most powerful vitamins. Vitamin A is the workhorse -- it reduces wrinkles/fine lines and fades brown spots. Vitamin C addresses the damage caused by environmental stressors. This serum is unique because both Vitamins A and C are in the formula at active levels. Normally Vitamin C is unstable and therefore can’t be combined with other active ingredients. This formula encompasses both powerful anti-aging ingredients into one product for maximum skin benefit!

Benefits:

The Vitamin A and C serum will smooth and firm your skin, revealing a youthful glow.

Key Ingredient(s): Physalis angulata extract

Verdict: Yes, I recommend it!  

DOWN and DIRTY DETAILS

Key Ingredient(s): Physalis angulata extract, derived from a plant in the Brazilian rainforest, it's anti-inflammatory and helps soften the skin. Product works to hydrate the skin with some very powerful ingredients:

• Saw palmetto, conditions your skin for a long-lasting moisture.
• Vitamin E, provides the skin with antioxidant protection against free-radical damage, preventing premature aging.  
• CO Enzyme Q10: Increases elasticity and cell renewal. 
• Vitamin K: Helps diminish vascular conditions such as dark circles, redness from Rosacea, and broken capillaries
• Vitamin A: Powerful skin renewal booster that energizes cells, kills off dead cells, and produces new ones. Diminishes wrinkles and may help promote the production of skin-building compounds.

SPF: 20 - Contains both chemical and physical sunblock ingredients: oxtinoxate 7.5% (chemical) octyisalate 5% (chemical) oxybenzone 2% (chemical) zinc oxide 0.85% (physical). Note: Although this foundation provides broad-spectrum sun protection on its own, you must apply it liberally and evenly to get the stated level of protection. A sheer or spot application will not provide the amount of sun protection the label indicates.

Shades: Seven - (Translucent, Light, Medium, Medium Tan, Tan, Dark, Deep Dark). There are several excellent sheer shades plus a Colorless option, which would function well under your regular makeup. Skin Transformer's shade range presents options for fair to dark skin tones, which is great.

Olive skin is very yellowy-pale, but the medium is my EXACT skin color. If you're tan, go for a darker color than medium. If you have fair to medium skin color, I would definitely not suggest that you order the product in Light. The light looks darker than it is but it goes on light. Medium Tan has red undertones.

Texture: Creamy - This product feels more soft, silky air. Very light. Truly weightless, it feels like you have nothing on. Plus, redness and uneven tone are perfectly corrected.

Consistency: Silky, Silicone Enriched - it has a whipped mouse-like consistency

Coverage: Sheer - It  is definitely sheer, so this is not a replacement for your foundation. Increase the amount of product to build coverage and customize your look.

Complexion: Luminous - In an instant, skin transforms into a gorgeous complexion that looks luminous.

Finish: Velvety smooth, matte - it's soft, slightly powdery but non-drying matte finish. It gives me a flawless finish, fine lines disappear, my age spots don't show. Best of all, no one can tell that it's on!

Results: Radiant glow - This enhances skin while it’s worn, just like most tinted moisturizers. Finish helps improve your skin’s texture while adding a subtle glow (from the mineral pigment mica). Achieve a radiant, airbrushed complexion in seconds with the skin-soothing color minerals and enjoy the sheer, light finish with buildable coverage possibilities.

Best Usage: Daily, AM - Apply to clean skin. Use a pearl-sized amount and smooth onto face and neckline with fingertips. Apply more product to build coverage and to customize your look.

Packaging: Tube - The opaque tube keeps the ingredients stable.
