Guest Review: Arbonne NutriMinC® RE9 REversing Gelée Transforming Lift
What They Say: "With Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, a stable form of vitamin C, is readily absorbed by the skin and promotes production of collagen, elastin and ground substance. Use this formula in the morning or on a special occasion for giving your skin a temporary “lift.” ( 1.5 fl. oz./44.36 mL )"
Jeannette's Experience: I was excited to try this lift. At age 51, I'm always anxious to find something that will perk up my skin.
The directions say to apply after cleansing and toning and then wait a few minutes before applying moisturizer. After a few minutes I did feel a tightening and firming. It really gave me a refreshing feeling. I was concerned that it might flake like others I have tried in the past, but it did not. The tightness did soften when I applied my moisturizer, but I was very impressed at the end result after applying make-up. This definitely is not a dramatic look. It just gave me a natural toned and more youthful look. I just kept noticing during the day that I looked more rested and refreshed than I normally do. My skin seemed toned.
This product has healthy long term benefits too, for production of skin collagen and elasticity. It contains a stable form of Vitamin C, and it is absorbed well by the skin. Most products with Vitamin C irritate my sensitive skin but this did not. It seems to last most of the day for me, and my skin felt very natural and soft. I think it would be a great product for days you wake up feeling tired, or for that special occasion you want to look your very best!
