Apothederm Skin Care Review

September 19, 2013

I’ve been using two products from a skincare line called Apothederm.   When asked if I’d be interested in doing a review I jumped at the chance because I’m very interested in companies that have a lot of scientific research behind their products.  They use SmartPeptides in their products to address many different concerns that we have with our skin and it’s care.  Their products address Anti-Aging, Brightening & Acne and Body.  In addition they are all fragrance free and paraben free.  You can visit their website for information on all of their products.

I have been using the Brightening Cleanser and Hydrating Eye Cream.  I’ve actually completely used up all of the cleanser.  Does that mean I like it?  Actually, I love it.  I’ve had combination skin for the past year now along with occasional rosacea flareups.  When I want a reliable cleanser that’s going to really clean my skin and help to clear up any breakouts I immediately grab for this one.  I often use it with my Clarisonic and the delicate brush.  It is a clear gel like liquid that foams up nicely.

Key ingredients in the Brightening Cleanser and the actions of each ingredient include :
Malic Acid Alpha Hydroxy Acid:  Helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and hyperpigmentation.
Salicylic Acid:  This anti-inflammatory exfoliates and helps to reduce pore size.
Glycerin:  A humectant that draws moisture to your skin.
Cucumber Fruit Extract:  This moistures, binds and soothes.
Sage Leaf Extract:  This extract provides anti-inflammatory benefits.
Tocopherol Vitamin E:  This is an age-fighting antioxidant vitamin that protect the skin from free radical damage.
Vitamin C:  Also an age-fighting antioxidant that protects the skin from free radical damage.

6 oz bottle retails for $28 
The Hydrating Eye Cream was the second product that I chose.  I have very dry skin around the eye area need to hydrate often.  This product is a soft white cream that’s designed to moisturize the eye area and minimize puffiness and dark circles.  I applied this product both morning and evening to clean dry skin.  It applied beautifully and didn’t cause any creasing of the makeup that I applied over it.  It definitely provided a lot of moisture to the area.  I don’t really experience dark circles or puffiness so I cannot comment on it’s effectiveness in that area.
Key ingredients in the Hydrating Cleanser and the actions of each ingredient include:
Hexapeptide-21:  This SmartPeptide controls visible photoaging while calming and soothing the delicate eye area. It works to stimulate the skin’s own natural repair and regeneration system. Tests have shown that this peptide controls visible signs of photoaging while calming and soothing the skin.
Shea Butter:  This corrects dry, dehydrated skin, leaving it feeling soft and smooth.
Glycerin:  This humectant relieves dehydration by drawing essential moisture into the skin.
Squalane:  This emollient oil replenishes and protects the natural moisture balance of the skin.

The verdict:

These are excellent products!!  I would definitely purchase these Apothederm products again.  I will try additional products in the future and will let you know what I think of them when I do.

I’m demonstrating two new-to-me beauty products th I’m demonstrating two new-to-me beauty products that easily captured my heart. The first is a cheek stain (be careful - a little goes a long way) that can also be used as a lip stain. I adore a multi tasker!

The second is a super moisturizing lip gloss treatment. It has ceramides, shea butter and avocado oil for smoother lips. Wear it sheer or layer it on for more color payoff.

Both of these were sent to me as gifts from the brands in PR packages. Thank you!

I recently got my hands on a brand new product and I recently got my hands on a brand new product and I’m so excited about it that I could explode! I’m literally blown away by the science that went into this one. My only hint is that it’s “beauty from the inside” with a combination of ingredients that address the signs of aging from within. We’re calling it a Skin Revolution because it’s a total game changer and there’s nothing like it out there!

Let me know if you want VIP access to this product before it’s available to the public.😎

And if you want to get it NOW and be part of this incredible brand called LimeLife to earn extra income and join a group of supportive women, I can share those details with you too!🤩
