AmorePacific Future Response Age Defense Serum Review

Just look at it. The beauty that radiates from this product I'll be reviewing for you today. This is the first time I got the opportunity to review some high end skincare, and you know what? High end skincare is amazing. I can see why people pay a pretty penny for the good stuff. Because it works. 

Before I get ahead of myself, today I will be reviewing the AmorePacific Future Response Age Defense Serum which I received in exchange for my honest opinion. I've told you all countless times, I'm not a skincare person, but recently, it's been growing on me. Now that I'm discovering the new world of high end skincare, I am addicted. I love my skincare routine now (which I will write an updated post on soon), and I enjoy trying new skincare products that work. 

So let's get into the details for this serum. The AmorePacific Future Response Age Defense Serum is suppose to be the first layer of skin defense; a concentrated blend of green tea and pine mushroom, which will help with protecting skin from environmental and lifestyle aggressors that cause premature aging. 

Is this just another anti-aging product? No, it's so much more than that. I typically don't like using anti-aging products because I don't notice a big difference since I'm still pretty young and don't have wrinkles yet, but this product does more than defend against premature aging. 

I've been using this product sparingly for 3 weeks(because it's fairly expensive!), and even so, I noticed a change in my skin. My skin now feels very smooth, plump and firmer. The serum provides a luminous glow and a lot of hydration. Since I do have oily skin, I try to avoid putting too much on my t-zone area, but areas around my mouth which need the moisture, are no longer dry and patchy,

The serum dries super fast and smells absolutely divine. It smells exactly like matcha green tea ice cream, which makes me super hungry thinking of sushi now. The product doesn't get too heavy if you do apply more, but you never need to apply more than 1-2 small pumps. 

Being someone who has oily, sensitive, acne prone skin, I would also like to point out that I didn't break out using the product! Usually my skin will react to a new skincare product immediately after use, and then eventually it will get used to it, but using the AmorePacific Future Response Age Defense Serum; no pimples! 

Overall, it's a great product and it definitely worked for me, regardless if I'm the target market for this product. Despite being an anti-aging product, it did more than just "get rid of wrinkles", which encourages me to try more mature skincare products. If I can avoid the breakouts then why not! 

Since Mother's Day is around the corner, I think anything from AmorePacific would make a great gift!

Arbonne RE9 Advanced Anti-Aging Skincare Line Review

Hello friends, hope you all had a wonderful Easter long weekend. I found that this was a great time for me to catch up on blogging, and I feel like I'm finally back on track (hopefully). I recently reached the milestone of 200,000 pageviews for my blog, and I couldn't be happier. I started reflecting on my blogging experience, and I must say, blogging has opened many doors and opportunities for me, and I'm quite thankful for that. I never thought I would get the chance to work with so many great companies, and try things I would never thought of trying. If you're new to blogging and have thought about creating content and making a blog, I would say you should make the jump. It's never too late to chase your dreams! 

Today I will be reviewing the Arbonne RE9 Advanced Anti-Aging Skincare Line. Even though I'm fairly young still and am not in the market for this kind of skincare line, I felt I should still give it a shot and provide you with my honest opinion on Arbonne's skincare products. 

I got a sample size set to try all the products from the RE9 Advanced Skincare Set, and it lasted me a little under a week. 

Here were the claims of using the product. I'll go over what changed about my skin within the use of a week. 

Step One - Smoothing Facial Cleanser: When I used the cleanser, I found that it worked best when you used less and mixed the lather with some water. The day I used too much, my skin felt extremely tight and dry. Using the right amount provided me with clean feeling skin, and no tightness. It definitely helped with removing excess make-up that didn't come off after using a make-up wipe. 

Step Two: Arbonne Regenerating Toner: I found that the toner refreshed my skin, and didn't leave it feeling tight. Didn't really do anything amazing or significant. 

Step Three: Intensive Renewal Serum: Personally, using the product for a week I didn't see any significant changes in my skin. If I were to repurchase anything from the line, I would skip on this (based on a week of use). 

Step Four: Corrective Eye Creme: The corrective eye creme was one of the products I found to make a bit of a difference in my skin. I noticed that my dark circles/bags looked a bit less puffy and appeared to be a bit lighter than usual. 

Step Five: Restorative Day Creme with SPF 20: I'm not a huge fan of moisturizers with SPF in them because I feel like they always give me a white cast. I always look significantly whiter even under my foundation. 

Step Five Night: Night Repair Creme: The night creme was a lot better than the day creme in my opinion. It didn't feel as thick and it provided my skin with the moisture and no greasiness. 

Overall, I was pretty neutral about the Arbonne RE9 Advanced Anti-Aging Skincare Line. I personally can't comment if they work well or not because I don't think I'm suited for anti-aging products yet, so I wouldn't know if they truly improved my skin in that way. I have enjoyed Arbonne as a brand in the past, after using their many lipsticks. Based on this skincare line, it wasn't for me, because I'm not in the market for anti-aging products as of now.
