LaNouvel Cellular Hyaluronic Acid Nutri Serum with Collagen / Elastin, Resveratrol, Peptides, Dragon's Blood & Vitamin C





LaNouvel Cellular Hyaluronic Acid Nutri Serum with Collagen / Elastin, Resveratrol, Peptides, Dragon's Blood & Vitamin C, 1oz


Update: I did a chemical peel a few days ago and this serum was the only thing that I could use- it was like using a fire extinguisher! I was amazed at how the redness and stinging disappeared IMMEDIATELY after I applied the serum and I had NO redness the next day - normally after a peel my skin is red for at least a few days. And I forgot to mention that it smells AMAZEBALLS. 

You see your skin becoming plumper, more hydrated and visibly more youthful with the first application. You don't want to use this in lieu of a moisturizer (serums are meant to be applied underneath serum). Instead this makes your moisturizer more effective and allows your skin to retain moisture; one reason why you should apply it on slightly damp skin. make sure your skin and pores are clean to readily absorb the vitamins in the serum; it's always best to exfoliate at least once a week for the best absorption of serums. The vitamins in this are ideal for promoting skin cell turnover and diminishing free radical damage so you really want to take full advantage of that by prepping your skin. I did a comparison of my moisturizer using this on one half of my face and none on the other, and the serum side definitely looked fresher and the skin looked firmer with fine lines temporarily filled in.

This is the third product from this company that I've used, and they are consistently high quality!


  • Contains Resveratrol, Collagen, Elastin, Peptides & Silk Aminoacids
  • This luxury serum delivers impressive hydration in a bioavailable solution directly into your skin cells. Hyaluronic Acid makes up fifty percent of this high quality formulation. Rich in antioxidants: CoQ10, Dragon's Blood
  • Promotes fresher, younger, firmer, brighter complexion
  • Non-comedogenic, penetrates deeply, and activates collagen production for a fresher, younger, firmer, brighter complexion. Loaded with potent antioxidants, peptides, amino acids and free radical defenders, this miracle serum will give you the boost, lift and smoother, happier and truly vibrant skin.

NeoCell Beauty Bursts - Edible Skincare Treats

NeoCell Laboratories Beauty Burst, Chocolate Mint, 60 Count NeoCell Laboratories Beauty Burst, Chocolate Mint, 60 Count


I have used these before, but only sampled through beauty subscription boxes. I finally needed to get my own big ol bag. They come in  number of flavors, I got the chocolate mint. Now they aren't going to replace Thin Mints on your dessert anytime soon, but they are pretty nummy for a supplement! They contain collagen, hyaluronic acid and vitamin C in an edible form that is more readily absorbed by your system than in a pill form so you actually reap more of the benefits (plus they're great for people who hate swallowing pills!) These all are amazing for your skin so you get your pretty and your snacking on at the same time!

BeautyFusion Anti-Wrinkle Cream

  • Hyaluaronic Acid called "Fountain of Youth" attracts and holds onto water making this Anti Aging Cream with Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C the ideal Facial Moisturizer that combats age-related dehydration
  • Vitamin C & E powerful antioxidants in this Anti-Wrinkle Cream have a crucial role in the production of Collagen. It promotes skin tone and elasticity, decreases inflammation, protects and repairs sun damage and skin discoloration , renews, hydrates and restores the skin
  • Vitamin B in this Vitamin C Cream for your face helps to retain moisture and metabolize food sources, providing nutrients to the whole body including skin. It prevents aging, reduces fine lines, it is essential for maintaining the texture, resilience, firmness and radiance of the skin

This is the 3rd product that I've used from BeautyFusion and once again I'm thrilled with the results. So many skincare products rely on one ingredient to do all of the work, and this is a powerhouse combination to address just about every anti aging skincare concern under the sun. It's a rich cream that absorbs well, though since it's summer and my skin can get oily, I use it as a night cream. When I wake up in the morning my face is baby soft and my foundation goes on much more smoothly. The texture of my skin with a month's use is extremely smooth and plump. Not bad for someone who's physical health is on the border of serious hospitalization! (you might have seen my fundraiser at the top of my blog page that a friend set up for me) 

My one complaint is that I wish they'd update their labeling. They make fabtastic products and I think they are losing business with outdated labeling. Everybody has to start somewhere, but I think that investing in a good designer would bring the appearance up to the quality of the product inside. Let's face it, the package is what draws the eye and a classy label would boost their business tenfold.
