EDIT: I realized I had the wrong email address in my submission. 🥴 

Hey friends! Does anyone know how to access the $10 coupon code? I thought I’d ‘win’ the code on 10/25, but have yet to receive a code. It now says 10/31. I was hoping to receive it and redeem it on a current promotion.

Thank you!

What are your favorite Hyaluronic acid containing products? 💦

Hyaluronic Acid

I see a lot of talk about WISHTREND. What is it and how do I get started?

wishtrend

Alpha Arbutin reduces the appearance of age spots and can help improve skin tone. It&#39;s used at a high 2% concentration versus a standard concentration of 1% and supported with a next-generation form of Hyaluronic Acid for enhanced delivery. Alpha Arbutin is much stronger in effect than Arbutin or Beta Arbutin. 

Note: Alpha Arbutin is extremely sensitive to degradation in the presence of water if the pH of the formulation is not ideal. The pH of this formula has been shown to be the most suitable pH to minimize degradation of Alpha Arbutin.

Its a little greasy, but other than that, great!

This formula combines very high concentrations of two of the most powerful and important antioxidants in skincare: Resveratrol and Ferulic Acid. Resveratrol is a natural phenol found in several plants and our pure source is 100% derived from Japanese Knotweed. Ferulic Acid is a high-potency phytochemical antioxidant found naturally in walls of plant cells. 

Skincare formulations generally incorporate Resveratrol at 1% or less and Ferulic Acid at 0.5% or less. This formula contains each at 3%, an exceptionally high concentration. 

Note: Water can impair the stability of any antioxidant. This formula does not contain any water, silicones, oils or alcohol.

Lightweight serum with 10% argireline peptide complex. 

ARGIRELINE™ is a trademark owned by Barcelona-based Lipotec S.A.U. It is a proprietary solution of Acetyl Hexapeptide-8. Controlled studies have shown that ARGIRELINE™ improves the appearance of facial areas prone to developing dynamic folds, including around the eyes and in the forehead area.

Note: Studies have shown that the water content of formulations does impact the utility level of topical ARGIRELINE™ and specifically that higher water content results in better utility. This formulation is water-based and avoids oils, esters and silicones.

Absolutely nothing bad to say about this product.

My favorite product in my am routine. 💦 It’s a thick serum. Be sure ro apply to a damp face and ‘lock in the moisture’ with a moisturizer. If not applied to damp skin, it can have the opposite effect and cause dryness. 

A hydration support formula with ultra-pure, vegan hyaluronic acid. The molecular size of HA determines its depth of delivery in the skin. This formulation combines low-, medium- and high-molecular weight HA, as well as a next-generation HA crosspolymer at a combined concentration of 2% for multi-depth hydration in a water-based formula. This system is supported with the addition of Vitamin B5 which also enhances surface hydration. 

Note: Hyaluronic Acid is found in the skin naturally but its natural function within the skin is not hydration. Many products have used HA to claim hydration benefits, but HA is too large of a molecule to penetrate the skin and instead sits on the surface and can draw moisture out of the skin making the surface feel soft and hydrated temporarily, while making you feel like you need more HA after the product is rinsed. This formula uses three forms of HA with varying molecular weights, as well as an HA crosspolymer, to offer multi-depth hydration and visible plumping without drawing water out of the skin solely to improve temporary surface hydration.

Retinaldehyde is the highest otc retinoid. This ultimate anti-aging serum is to be used in the evening for cell repair and health. As cells go under oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation, Vitamins A (retinaldehyde) &amp; B3 (niacinamide) condition the cell membrane encouraging cellular respiration.  This allows nutrition to flow into the cell and helps cellular waste escape.  The mitochondria (cell energy source) is treated for DNA repair, in essence treating for lipofuscin and solar lentigines. SymWhite contains potent levels of tyrosinase inhibitors to work on even skin tone. Bisabolol soothes skin sensitivities so this serum will not irritate the skin.

Gentle enough for sensitive skins; all skin types in need of rejuvenation and anti-aging care.

IconicA (Retinal&#47;Retinaldehyde) 2.5% converted into 0.1% Retinaldehyde is a stable and non-irritating form of Vitamin A addressing cell membrane health.  As cells are exposed to environmental pollution and stress, IconicA allows for permeability of the cell to allow nutrition to flow in and cellular waste to escape the cell.  This leads to healthy, soft cells with an even skin tone. 
Niacinamide (5%) is Vitamin B3 addresses many skin disorders due to its anti-inflammatory properties.  Vitamin B3 addresses cellular respiration, lipid synthesis, inhibiting skin pigmentation and improving epidermal barrier function.  Vitamin B3 treats the mitochondria (energy source) of the cell to repair DNA damage from the sun.  Vitamin B3 also treats inflammatory acne.

Carnitine (L) transports essential fatty acids into mitochondria for energy production, increasing skin turnover and limiting trans epidermal water loss.
SymWhite TM (Phenylethyl Resorcinol) is an effective skin brightener and antioxidant containing potent levels of tyrosinase inhibition.

Bisabolol (L-Alpha) acts as an anti-inflammatory, promotes wound healing, reduces sensitivity, and alleviates heat while soothing skin irritation.
