Vitamin C Moisturizer Face Cream, Brightens and Reduces the Look of Fine Lines and Wrinkles, Moisturizing Lotion for Dry Skin, with Hyaluronic Acid, 3.4 FL Oz

I've been using the Vitamin C & Retinol Serums the Retinol Moisturizer and the Vitamin C Cleanser since January 2018. I am iNsAnE about these products! I am 54 and according to my husband (who also uses the same products and looks FABULOUSLY younger) now look 44. My skin is smoother, brighter, tighter and fresher looking! I wash with the Vitamin C cleanser in the morning and then apply the Vitamin C serum. I use it all over my neck (including the sides), my chest and tops of my shoulders. At night I wash again with the cleanser and apply the Retinol serum the same way and once it dries I apply the Retinol moisturizer. I only use the moisturizer maybe twice per week at night because honestly, the wash and the serums alone have done so much for my complexion I don't feel I really need it every night. I would like to add a little background on myself and how I came to use these products...2 years ago I started following The Primal Blueprint because I wasn't taking care of myself like I should have. I was always very thin (5' 7" and around 120 lbs.) but started eating all the wrong foods and skyrocketed to 154 lbs. I felt horrible about myself. My skin was looking awful and I felt I was aging way before my time. Years of being a sun lover was starting to show in a really bad way with deep lines down the center of my chest and I was always really red (which I later learned was due to inflammation from eating all the wrong foods) on my chest and neck area. My face was looking old, my hair was looking bad and I just felt all around crappy about myself. So I knew I needed to make some changes, fast! I searched for an answer and came across Mark Sisson and his Primal Blueprint. I purchased several of his cookbooks and 1 week later I went Primal. I purged my kitchen cabinets of $200 worth of groceries I had just purchased and started my new life. Long story short, I lost 36 lbs. in about 5 months and now weigh 119 lbs. Instead of junior's size L/XL (size 14-16) I wear juniors size XS (0-2)! The transformation not only in my weight/size but overall general appearance is REMARKABLE! Every wrinkle on my chest, sides of my neck and tops of my shoulders, from sun damage, DISAPPEARED because the thickness of my skin has completely changed with the loss of so much fat. Along with the fat went the ugly sun damage/deep wrinkles! The skin over my entire body has completely changed from dry in some areas, oily in others, wrinkly, sun damaged, ruddy, thick and inflamed to baby smooth from top to bottom and sun damage free! It's truly astounding what a change in diet can do for your skin and overall appearance! As for my hair? When I started the Primal way of life my hair was dull and lifeless and WAS NOT GROWING AT ALL! It was several inches above my shoulders and now it's growing like crazy and is almost down to the middle of my bad. Not only does it grow like crazy but it's thicker and shinier and sheds 99% less. I should add that along with the Primal way of life for 2 years I have also been taking Brain Power Omega-3 Fish Oil for 2 years which I purchase every 90 days here on Amazon and believe much of my overall improvements are a direct result. Living a natural and organic lifestyle has done more for me than I could ever write about here. It was THE BEST THING I have ever done for myself. Everything in my life is organic down to my mascara, the products I clean with and even my mattress! I was just missing one thing....a natural/organic skincare regimen. The one final thing to take the improvements in my skin and make them even better! So here I am reviewing these InstaNatural products which I have to say have only added to and enhanced the wonderful changes that had already taken place in my life. I research EVERYTHING I purchase now and have become a serious ingredients label reader. It's incredibly time consuming but in the end it's worth it. I looked at numerous natural skin care lines here on Amazon and in the end I chose InstaNaturals. After using these products for only 2 months, the improvements in my complexion are SO INCREDIBLE & SO OBVIOUS, I will NEVER use anything else! ( ( I pray they never stop making this stuff). My husband tells me at least 10x a day how great I look and how I have reversed my age and how he can't believe the changes but the other day he said something that I will never forget. He looked at me and said..."You look so good you're actually starting to scare me!" Ladies, if you're thinking about purchasing a new skin care regimen, STOP HERE and try InstaNatural's line of Vitamin C and Retinol. I promise you will not regret it but I need to reiterate that, for me personally, my skin and overall appearance improvements have only improved because of a combination of things. I believe that had I started using this skin care line back when I was eating a horrible diet, it would not have made a difference in my face. You must take care of yourself all around, not just the outside, and that means eating the right foods. Stop putting poisons in your body with the foods you eat. Put the right things in your body and the results will show on the outside. Once you do that, everything you add to your exterior will only enhance your overall health. An overall healthy appearance starts from the inside NOT with what you put on your face! I will purchase these InstaNatural products for life. In fact, Because I use these products on my neck, chest and shoulder as well as my face I will probably reorder more frequently. It is money very well spent. So THANK YOU INSTANATURALS for the MOST AMAZING products ever! I love you but most importantly I love me!

Great face moisturizer and it’s really helps me with soft skin and also very smooth skin, I have been using this product for more than 2 years and never feels to change it

No one paid or offered any discount for any of my opinions and I have turned down offers. I have only had this product for three days and as a moisturizer alone I give it two thumbs up. I am 59 and never really needed something like this until the last two years when dry days would cause the skin on,my knuckles to crack. Which is about where I was last week. In three days of twice a day use it reversed the process and my callouses are softening. I have been using a brand name "skin relief" hand cream and hyaluronic acid three four times a day and just keeping the skin from opening up. I stopped all that to try this. The redness in those areas is now fading as well. But should I really be surprised as the primary ingredient is aloe. I have used a spray-on Hyaluronic acid that I liked the feel it left behind but it is not an efficient means of delivery. This is! I compared the two and the after drying they feel identical; smooth and hydrated. But this keeps he skin hydrated longer with the added sunflower oil, shea butter and jojoba oil. I love the feel so much it begs me to put it everywhere. Interestingly though what drew me to this product originally was the retinol. Obviously I have not had time to really assess this yet so I will have to write more later. But with twice a day use I think I am feeling it again. Let me explain. Five months ago I started using a retinol product on my face and though it had a decent effect on my complexion and some minor thinning of lines. I tried another product and the last month with it was not good in the facial area. I felt things were going backwards and jumped at this as my next purchase. I had intended to continue using the other product in the extremities but now I am not so sure. Time will tell but so far if moisturizing is all I get out of this I will be getting it again and might even make it a christmas gift. If using this twice a day on my face results in better or equal to my original retinol product then this is a homerun. If that is true then as a maintenance program this would be a good once a day solution.

Being a 22 year old male, I'm probably not the most traditional user of this type of product. I have dry, sensitive skin and have always had problems with acne and razor bumps. I used Dove Mens+ Care lotion for my face after shaving or showering to keep my skin from drying out which was the main culprit for my acne. It was a good lotion but I wanted something more natural and something that would attenuate all the sun damage I've done to my skin at the beach, i.e. something with retinol. And if you can do anything to keep your skin looking young and health, why not? I gave the Instanatural moisturizer a shot and I'm so glad I did. After using it for about 4 months now, I can't say for sure whether it has diminished any skin damage, but it definitely has improved the appearance of the wrinkles I have on my forehead. Regardless, it takes about 12 weeks for retinol to be activated in your skin and repair any existing damage so only time will tell. I also think it has diminished my pore size and when people say that this moisturizer makes your skin glow, they're totally right. It's best to use it in the morning, right out of the shower. And I can totally tell, about an hour after applying this moisturizer, the Vitamin C and hyaluronic acid just wake up my skin. The consistency of this moisturizer is somewhere in-between that of a serum and a lotion but it absorbs very easily and doesn't leave my skin greasy. Retinol has also been shown to improve acne and I definitely think it has reduced outbreaks and improved the appearance of old acne scars. Some people complain that this product doesn't contain a sunblock ingredient but this fact is one of the reasons I chose this product. Although retinol can cause increased sun sensitivity and protecting your skin from the sun slows down the aging process, chemical sunblock ingredients used in Neutrogena and a lot of other products are actually bad for your skin and can speed up the aging process. In other words, it's better to use a natural product like this, sans SPF, and use a natural sunblock when you need it. And all summer long I never experienced any sun sensitivity due to this lotion at all so no need to worry about that. Overall I look forward to using this for a long time and keeping my skin young and healthy.

I am a big fan of InstaNatural skin care products. I am a woman of a certain age and the products I use on my face must be gentle, effective & have the right ingredients to keep my skin fairly wrinkle free, toned, soft and plump. Gentle is important because as one ages the skin thins. I have tried many of the company's products, i.e., their emu oil, eye gel, toner and now their Retinol Advanced Action Moisturizer. After a month of using this product I noticed a big reduction of puffiness and wrinkles around my eyes. When I was younger I use prescription Retinol and it worked very well to keep my skin young and healthy. Retinol increases cell production in the top layer of skin, so it helps to pep up the skin. Cells look smoother and skin looks younger. It also has a positive effect on collagen production. Now, with my aging skin, I find this prescription product too strong. It really stings when I apply it. InstaNatural's Retinol Advanced Action Moisturizer has almost the same effect on my skin as pure Retinol but without the sting. There is a slight tingling sensation right after I apply it but the sensation goes away in a moment. The tingling makes me feel like the moisturizer is working. This advanced action moisturizer really reduces wrinkles, blemishes and fine lines. I can actually see the results. This product contains an alpha hydroxy acid, (AHA), that may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun and particularly increase the possibility of sunburn. Use a sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure while using this product. A number of such compounds are used in skin-care preparations for their exfoliating properties. The tingling sensation comes from both AHA and Retinol. InstaNatural's Retinol Cream also contains maximum strength retinol - with a 2.5% concentration of Retinol, (Vitamin A). InstaNatural’s restorative cream also contains an effective formula of handpicked ingredients designed to improve one's complexion. Vitamin C & Green Tea strengthen skin to protect against external aggressors that cause damage. In addition, Hyaluronic Acid, Jojoba Oil & Shea Butter deeply moisturize the skin to provide long-lasting hydration. As I wrote above, I am a fan of InstaNatural products and this moisturizing cream is my favorite. I use it at night and also on days when I am not going outdoors - when my face will not be exposed to the sun. Highly recommended. Also, if you are interested in this product, you may want to check out InstaNatural's other products. Btw...I do not work for InstaNatural nor do I receive free products from them. I just thought I would pass this tip along. JANA

I took a look when I ordered it and realized I have been using it for 6 weeks and that enough time has passed to warrant a review. I use it just at night, after letting their Vit C serum soak in. The next day I make sure to use sunscreen. This moisturizer is a very light cream. It feels nice on the skin, and a little goes a long way- though I usually slather it on my face, neck and chest. After 6 weeks, I can't tell one way or another if this is helping me. I'm in my early 40s with clear, mostly unlined skin. It is a little sensitive, leans dry, and has non acne Rosacea (just pinkness with veins- telangiectasias). I figure I was over due to add in a retinol product into my skin care routine. I read that the percentage seems low (not that I know what the percentage is) but that since I am just starting with retinol that this may be a good introduction to it. My rating of "3" is not at all indicative if anything wrong with it, per say. It is just middle of the road experience for me. I don't note any improvement, but I don't think it has hurt any. I need more moisturization than what it offers. Sometimes I add some rosehip oil after this has soaked in, to help. I kept going with it because I wanted to use it for 6-8 weeks or until the bottle ran out, whichever came first. For me, I still have plenty left at the 6 week mark of using it nightly (I think my first week I did every other night). I like many of the ingredients, and if I was just rating it based as a moisturizer, it..well.. would still be a 3 as I need something more moisturizing than what this offers. My skin feels a little more dry with using this item. Maybe that is the retinol, maybe other ingredients.. but the addition of hyaluronic acid should make my skin feel more plump and supple. I think it might be a great contender for those with acne prone skin, maybe oily skin especially due to the addition of Centella Asiatica Extract extract . Plenty of nice ingredients.. just not quite for me at this time, especially at night. I may relegate this to day use, not sure yet.

As a man in his mid 40's I'm sure I represent something of a rare breed for a product review such as this. I'm comfortable in being a bit of an anomaly here because I feel a much broader issue needs to be addressed; there is awareness to be promoted. A chance to do something meaningful, for my fellow man, presents itself with this product because it works and it works well. The way my skin is, I've always had to use lotion anyway, just to keep from drying up. This stuff would be great if that's all it did because it goes on lite, absorbs quickly, is not greasy and a little goes a long way but, further than that, this product has other benefits, profound benefits. Independent of the basic need for preventing dry skin, at the age of 44, I suddenly found myself searching for... something else. Like most sensible people finding themselves in their mid 40's, who then become aware of their own aging, I began to panic. Seeing that I could not truly justify the expense of a 1977 Corvette Stingray and a leather jacket and because the traditional toupee just looks ridiculous on me (I still have all my hair) I set about looking for a more pragmatic solution to the problem of reality. That quest, mostly conducted on the search bar at the top of the page here, lead me to this. While nothing can truly turn back the clock, this product has the ability to help. I've found it subtle but effective at mitigating the truth about all that mileage piled up on my metaphorical odometer. In fact, what I've found here is not merely a lotion or some silly wrinkle cream; No, No. What I've found is the opportunity to help untold numbers of men who may be at a similar point in their lives, who would like to join me in stark denial and know the joy, once again, of being carded at the liquor store. To you men, presently confronted by a grizzled visage in the mirror more akin to an elephant's posterior than the epitomic pinnacle of male virility that we've all known ourselves to be, I say - Cast off the monetary yolk of mid-life crisis oppression! Spend not on corvettes and Def Leppard CD's! Buy this instead and save the rest of your money for better things! ...like tools or maybe a boat or an ice fishing shack where no one is going to bother you. Speeding tickets aren't as cool as you remember them anyway. Better yet, get revenge on your children and use all that money to spoil the #$^& out of your grandkids! That's what I'm going to do. It's a brave new world of wondrous and magical possibilities. :)

This is my favorite moisturizer. It spreads and absorbs easily and has a natural citrus smell that dissipates after applying. It is worth its cost. I'm a 55-year-old male with bad wrinkling from years of sun damage (tanning was something we were all supposed to try to do when I was going to high school in the 80s). The moisturizer does not make my wrinkles disappear by any stretch; on the other hand, I look (and feel) better when I've applied the lotion. The moisturizer also does not completely moisturize my skin, which may be more a testament to how bad my skin has gotten than a flaw of the product. The only thing that could make this any better is sun-blocking ability, but for now, I mix this with Eucerin Age Defense spf 50, and the combo is perfect, as the two products mix well and the Eucerin bothers my eyes far less than most other facial sunscreens.
