If I could only take one supplement, turmeric would be it.

Organic Turmeric Curcumin with Black Pepper - Best Turmeric Supplement Organic Certified on Amazon - Organic Turmeric Capsules 95% Curcumoids 120 Vegetarian Capsules By NativOrganics




I'm really glad that I started taking this- it helps with a MYRIAD of issues- all of which I seemingly have! LOL Turmeric is pretty much a miracle- it helps with joint pain and inflammation, it's an antioxidant, it improves cognitive function and staves off mental issues like dementia and alzhemiers and is also a known effective addition to cancer treatments. I've been so excited that I now have two friends that are all excited to start using it themselves. This contains the all important black pepper that helps with a higher absorption level than just straight turmeric. I'm now on my 2nd bottle and am starting to see real results. (coincidence? The tumors in my spine are not causing me the level of pain that i was experiencing previously....)

Time For A Label Update

I saw an immediate superficial difference on my first application; my pores were tightened as was my skin in general.
Fine lines were minimized though my deeper crevasses were still visible; from what I understand about retinols, after about a month of use I'll see a big difference there too.

In the morning my skin has a glow after absorbing this overnight. I've been using this over a serum and alternating using this under my eyes with an eye cream. After about 3 weeks use, I'm seeing a vast improvement in my skin's texture and evenness and the fine lines are really lessening across the board. My skin feels soft and plump and looks good even without makeup. The circles under my eyes are diminishing and tightening. To get the best out of this stuff, make sure sure your skin is super clean and exfoliated to really absorb the benefits, though this will help with exfoliating and getting rid of dead cells. You can also use this on areas that you feel need a youth treatment, like gnarly old lady hands! (guilty as charged!) I also recommend applying this to your neck and chest for an even look from your face down. These oft neglected areas are actually the worst for showing our age, so treat them well! This is a big jar, so don't be shy about applying this liberally.

My one suggestion to them would be to update the labeling. It takes away from the awesomeness of the product- this is spa quality and the label makes it seem less high end than it really is. So in this, DON'T judge a book by it's cover!

Joyal Beauty Vitamin C Serum

SO I go on and on about vitamin C serums and their benefits, but something I don't think I've touched on is how delicate this stuff is. Joyal Beauty took care of this problem for us! Not only is the serum in a dark bottle to keep the active ingredients from degrading due to light exposure, but instead of a dropper bottle where the serum gets exposed to oxygen and bacteria, it's in a BRILLIANT pump! You get the exact right amount without getting your grubby germs or simply the air that's going to start breaking it down. This ensures that you get the full effectiveness from the last drops that you did the first. Brilliant!

Something else they do I'll let them explain:

• ✔ CONTAINS MOST EFFECTIVE AND STABILIZED 20% VITAMIN C: STAY-C® 50 is our stable, cosmetic vitamin C. A powerful antioxidant and multi-talent active, STAY-C® 50 is an approved quasi-drug active ingredient for whitening products in Japan. 3D-skin-modelling and in vivo studies have demonstrated STAY-C® 50's intense skin lightening properties. Boosting collagen production and increasing elasticity and firmness. Help to counteract wrinkle formation by increasing collagen production. Reduce the number of sunburned cells as well as reverse age-related damage to skin. Protects against and repair UV damage like discoloration and fine lines

See? It's got cool pump action!
