Murad InvisiScar Resurfacing Treatment

Reviewed by HannaLeave a comment

One of the things I don’t like about my skin is old acne scarring. I have spent so much money on products that claim to reduce the appearance, but nothing seems to work until I started using the Murad InvisiScar Resurfacing Treatment!

Why start using Murad?

I saw a video on Instagram where someone was doing either a day-by-day / week-by-week update of using this stuff. You could see the improvement to her skin, so I decided I would give it a go.

What’s the claim?

The Murad InvisiScar Resurfacing Treatment claims to “minimises the look of post-blemish scar size, depth and discolouration in 8 weeks.”

Final verdict

The before and after photos are about 3 weeks apart, and I know the lighting differs, but you can see that the resurfacing treatment does appear to work.

OSKIA London Restoration Oil

Reviewed by HannaLeave a comment

A facial oil to help hydrate, sooth and replenish skin for a much more healthy and radiant looking complexion!

I got a small sachet sample of the OSKIA London Restoration Oil with my last skicare purchase from ‘Face the Future’ and figured I would try it out and include it within my current skincare regime!

The smell of the facial oil reminded me of pamper sessions, where they’d use aromatherapy oils – so the smell was really nice. The oil itself, you really didn’t need to use very much, a little really did go a long way.

How did it make my skin feel? Super soft and glowing. It also worked really well with my current Jan Marini skincare routine – I needed even less of my current moisturiser.

Of course, I only had a very small sample of this oil, so I can’t really give this a proper review! But it did smell lovely, made my face feel hydrated and I didn’t need to use much.

So, for me, this seems to be a good facial oil and does appear to live up to its claim:

“A beautiful, delicate blend of nutrients, floral oils & extracts to help restore the skin’s youthful vitality. High tech natural actives and oils, from African Acmella, Lupin, Sea Fennel, Heart Seed Vine, Turmeric, Starflower, Rose Hip Seed & Evening Primrose, help soothe, hydrate and replenish, improving elasticity and reducing the appearance of fine lines for a healthy, radiant complexion.“

Jan Marini Skin Care Management System

Reviewed by HannaLeave a comment

I have used the Jan Marini Bioglycolic® Face Cleanser on and off for the last few years, after a skin clinic recommended it to me for clearing up my stubborn acne. The cleanser has always done such an amazing job of clearing my acne, but then I’d stop using it, and slowly, my acne would return!

About 2 months ago, I started using the cleanser again after other premium skincare products failed to work, making me feel like a complete mess on school runs, and I just wanted to hide away at work.

As expected, my acne has massively reduced but the redness was/is still apparent! This being why I decided to try out the Jan Marini Skin Care Management System for normal / combination skin.

The Jan Marini Skin Care Management System comprises of the Bioglycolic® Face Cleanser, a C-ESTA Serum, a Bioclear Lotion, Bioclear Cream and an Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant with SPF 30.

With the exception of the Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant and the Bioclear Lotion (for the 1st week of using the system), I use the Jan Marini products in the morning and the evening and so far, have been using the system for less than 1 week. Already, I have noticed that any spots that do appear are small and go just as quickly as they appear and that the redness on my face is slowly fading. Another positive is that you don’t need to use much of the products as coverage is brilliant with just a small amount!

I know it’s early days, but I expect to see improvements accelerate when I start using the Bioclear lotion day and night and I look forward to feeling more confident and not have to wear so much foundation.

Reduce Fine Lines & Minimise Pores by Changing Just One Product in your Skin Care Regime

Reviewed by Hanna1 Comment

I am a 30 odd year old female and have decided that it would probably be a good idea to start including anti-aging products in to my skin care regime before it becomes a bit too late!

My morning skin care regime is pretty simple – wipe over my face with a face wipe, splash my face with warm water, moisturise my face and neck with a day cream and then apply my primer and foundation.

As part of a SuperSavvyCircle project, I have been sent the Olay Total Effects 7-in-1 Age-Defying day moisturiser to try out for myself in return for feedback. My initial thoughts were that the moisturiser smelt really nice, was a nice consistency and absorbed into my skin perfectly – no need to wait too long before applying my primer. It was also easy to control how much cream was pumped out of the bottle, I only needed about half a pump.

After 7 days, I noticed that the fine lines around my eyes were reduced and the pores on my cheeks were greatly minimised (as you can see from the photos below). I did have to check that my phone didn’t have some sort of filter on, which it didn’t, as I was shocked by the results!

Based on my results, I will be purchasing the Olay Total Effects 7-in-1 day moisturiser as well as the night cream and I would defiantly recommend the Olay Total Effects 7-in-1 day moisturiser to anyone looking for a cream to help reduce fine lines and minimise pores.
