Vitamin C Serum with Vitamin E & Hyaluronic Acid

Details:  Joyal Beauty Super Brightening Vitamin C Serum is enriched with Vitamin E, Hyaluronic Acid, and a lot of other great ingredients.  Some of those include Aloe, Witch Hazel, Glycerin, and Jojoba Oil.  After washing and toning your face, apply a small amount of serum to your face morning and night.  Follow up with moisturizer.

This Vitamin C Serum is a powerful concentrated delivery system for the highest form of active, stabilized, bio-available Vitamin C boosting collagen production and increasing elasticity and firmness. It is also enriched with vitamin E, ferulic acid, pure vegan hyaluronic acid and many anti-aging formulas to plump skin cells and restore cells. You will see positive results after 4 weeks of continual use.  Your skin will glow, sun spots will fade, wrinkles will be reduced, your skin will be more moisturized.

Review:  I have tried several different types of Vitamin C Serums.  Some with and without the hyaluronic acid.  I must be allergic to that.  Almost every product I use with hyaluronic acid in it, my face breaks out big time.  Despite that, I do know that the other ingredients in Joyal Beauty's serum are great for skin.  This is a newly launched product on Amazon.

#PROVCS1
This is the first Vitamin C Serum that came with a spray pump, rather than a dropper.  I personally do not like the spray pump.  I can't spray it directly on my face without it going everywhere I don't want it.  I do spray it into my palm and then rub on with my fingers.  I also noticed that this serum is thinner than the other serums I have used, and I just figured it was to get it to go through that pump spray without clogging it up.

Despite those cons, I find I don't like to use this on my face, but applying it to my hands and feet where I have spider veins has been helpful. I have noticed a reduction in the sun spots on my hands. I also don't need to apply lotion as often to my hands.

Pros:  If you prefer a spray pump vs. a dropper this one is for you.  Has other added ingredients that benefit skin.

Cons:  I personally do not like the spray pump.  Don't like how thin the product is, compared to other Vitamin C serums I've tried in the past.

My Rating:  Thumbs Up & Down.  Biggest complaint is the spray pump.

#arganoil
UNi-Argan Oil is fast absorbing and light weight, smooth, and non greasy.  It is cold pressed and unroasted.  Contains Vitamin E and Omega 6.

Review:  I have naturally curly hair which means my hair is also naturally dry and frizzy.  I also color treat my hair which doesn't help.  I've been doing a lot of research lately to find the perfect product that will help my hair become soft, smooth, silky, shiny, and not frizzy.  When I had the opportunity to review UNi-Argan Oil, I was excited.

When using Argan Oil on your hair, make sure your hair is damp.  I washed my hair, towel dried it, then applied the Argan Oil per instructions.  My hair felt really soft the first day.  The second day my hair felt greasy, and by day 3 my hair was dry feeling.  With curly dry and frizzy hair, I don't wash my hair everyday. Needless to say I was very disappointed on how the Argan Oil reacted on my hair.  I did apply per instructions on bottle.  A little goes a long ways.  I have hair down to the middle of my back and used just 4 drops.

On the other hand, I did like how my skin felt by using the Argan oil.  My hands and feet were softer.  I would recommend using this at night, as I felt greasy after using it.  Despite rubbing the oil in my feet very well, I still left little foot prints on my floor. When applying to body, warm up the drops in your hand first.  It spreads and seeps into skin much better this way.

 Overall, I was disappointed how the oil reacted to my hair and the greasy feeling I felt after applying to feet and hands.  None-the-less, I do not mind using this as a night time routine for hands and feet, but think I'll just leave it off my hair.

Pros:  Hands and feet were softer after using.

Cons:  Felt greasy and oily after rubbing in hands and feet.  Hair only felt soft the first day.  Was hoping hair would feel soft for 3 days.  Surprised my hair felt greasy the 2nd day and dry the 3rd day after use.

My Rating:  Thumbs Down.

Advanced Formula Vitamin C Serum

Details:  Foxbrim's Advanced Formula Vitamin C Serum puts the Highest Quality all-natural and organic ingredients to work for you.  If you are looking to achieve that Youthful Glow, have soft smooth supple skin, want to soothe and hydrate under-nourished skin, reduce and diminish fine lines and wrinkles, then this is the product for you.
#foxbrim
It is made in the USA.  It not only has an advanced formula Vitamin C, but it also contains Amino Complex and Hyaluronic Acid to provide a complete and comprehensive anti-aging solution.

Using Vitamin C topically can be 20 times more effective than taking it orally.  It helps stimulate and boost collagen, thereby reducing fine lines and wrinkles.  It brightens and smoothes skin. It evens out  your complexion by fading sun spots and discolorations.

This product comes with a Risk Free Money Back Guarantee.  Currently it is on sale, which is much cheaper than most.

Review:  I have tried various Vitamin C Serums, and BHA Hyaluronic Acid products, and have mixed results.  The Vitamin C Serums I have found are great.  My biggest mistake was thinking I didn't need to use a moisturizer after applying it.  Hint:  Wash face. Tone Face. Apply Vitamin C Serum. Apply Hyaluronic Acid. Apply Moisturizer.

Despite the lack of additional moisturizer for a few months, I have seen great improvement.  However, every time I use the Hyaluronic acid my face breaks out.  So I was anxious to try this product out with the combination together to see what would happen.

Foxbrim's Advanced Formula Vitamin C Serum contains Aloe, Witch Hazel, Kosher Vegetable Glycerin, Organic Jojoba Oil, and other wonderful ingredients.


After using this for several days now, I've been impressed that my face hasn't broken out, and my skin truly feels more supple and smooth before I even apply moisturizer.  I've also been applying this product to my spider veins on my ankles, as Witch Hazel is a good product for that. I have seen improvement in just the short time I've been doing this.  I also apply the Vitamin C Serum to my hands, and they are also a lot softer, which is a good thing since my hands are constantly being washed. I'm impressed by the results I have see thus far.

Pros:  Hands and face are soft, smooth and supple.  My spider veins are also disappearing, and that's a great bonus for me.

Cons:  None.

My Rating:  Thumbs UP!!!

Nutraviva's Turmeric Supplement

Details: Nutraviva's Turmeric Supplement is a patented blend of Curcumin C3 Complex with Bioperine.  This has proven to increase the absorption of Curcumin making it more effective than standard Turmeric supplements.  Nutraviva's Turmeric comes with a 100 day full money back guarantee.  If you don't get the results you desire then you will get a full refund no questions asked.  Their Turmeric is made in the USA in GMP-certified facilities and is non-GMO.


Review:  Turmeric is listed as one of the world's healthiest foods.  Some of the issues it helps with is flatulence, jaundice, menstrual issues, bloody urine, hemorrhaging, toothaches, bruises, chest pain, colic, rheumatoid arthritis, improved liver function, help with various cancers, weight management, diabetes, lowers cholesterol, immune booster, and the list goes on.

Bioperine is derived from black pepper.  According to LiveStrong, the most established effect of bioperine is its effect on absorption of nutrients from the intestine.  It has anti-depressant and anti-tumor effects.

I have taken various forms and brands of turmeric before.  Each leave my stomach in upheaval.  I've had to stop taking turmeric all together as it is very harsh on my stomach.  Turmeric should be taken with meals.

The first day I tried Nutraviva Turmeric Curcumin, I had a slight sensation in my stomach that was not good.  Fortunately, it didn't last more than a couple of minutes, and I haven't experienced any side effects.  The second day, (only one capsule per day which is a huge plus) I didn't experience anything.  This may be a more potent and more readily absorbed turmeric, but it is so mild on my stomach I can actually take it.  If you are like me, and avoid Turmeric because it is harsh on your system, then be sure to try Nutraviva Turmeric Curcumin.

Pros:  Only need to take 1 capsule per day, not 2 three times daily.  Not harsh on my stomach.

Cons:  After the first couple of minutes of taking it, my stomach didn't feel so great, but that hasn't happened again.

My Rating:  A Thumbs Up!!!
