InstaNatural Stretch Mark and Scar Cream Review


Stretch marks and scars plague many people. Some people wear stretch marks like a badge of honor, while most people are self-conscious of them, preferring to keep them covered with clothing. I’ve tried several oils and creams promising to reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks and haven’t seen much in the way of results. I’ve been using InstaNatural Stretch Mark and Scar Cream and was both curious and hopeful about the potential results.

I’ve been skeptical that creams or oils can make scars or stretch marks disappear. I think some may help decrease their appearance. Using cream or oil may particularly help fresh scars or scars that are more toward the upper layer of skin, rather than ones that go to deeper layers. Pregnant women may find it helps to rub the cream on their growing belly to make their skin suppler to prevent stretch marks.

About InstaNatural Stretch Mark and Scar Cream

InstaNatural Stretch Mark and Scar Cream is supposed to diminish the appearance of scar and stretch marks. It is also supposed to prevent new ones from forming. It is made of 25% natural oils. The cream delivers nourishment and hydration to skin to improve elasticity.

This does seem to be a quality product with some great ingredients, like vitamin C, cocoa butter, rosehip oil, mango butter, grape seed oil, evening primrose oil. I’m in love with the scent, and have found that it moisturizes quite well. It is greasy feeling at first, but it does absorb well and the greasy feeling does not linger long.

To use the cream: apply it to clean, dry skin and massage the cream in a circular motion. Apply it to targeted areas with stretch marks or scars or to areas that are prone to developing stretch marks. Massaging the area can increase circulation and using the cream can increase skin’s moisture and elasticity. For better results, exfoliate skin two to three times per week to help shed the old skin cells.

I’ve been using the cream for about four weeks. It is recommended by InstaNatural to use the product twice a day, consistently. I’ll admit that I have not necessarily applied it twice each day. As far as its performance for reducing the appearance of scars or stretch marks, I haven’t made any conclusions.  My skin is softer and smoother. The company does advise that it may take two months of regular use to see results. I’ll keep using the product and see what happens. It is important to note that regular and continued use of the product is recommended.

Adovia Intensive Anti-Wrinkle Cream Review


I’ll admit that I’m a sucker for a great face cream. One of my new favs is Adovia Intensive Anti-Wrinkle Cream. This facial moisturizer is rich and creamy. The best part, aside from the classy-looking glass jar and luxurious feel, is the fact that this cream provides excellent hydration and makes my skin feel firmer.

The cream is supposed to prevent the formation of new wrinkles and fine lines, as well as reduce existing wrinkles. It contains almond oil, Dead Sea minerals, seaweed, aloe vera, vitamin A, silicon, and other ingredients.

After using the cream for about a month, here is what I found:
  • Not oily or greasy
  • Absorbs quickly
  • Makes my skin feel firmer and smoother right away
  •  I saw less pronounced lines across my forehead.
 I’ve used it both in the morning and at night. I like it best as a night cream. I wake up with firmer, smoother skin that looks fresh and ready to start the day. When used in the morning I find that it’s thicker consistency makes it harder to blend my foundation in. After using the cream, primer, foundation, and concealer, there is a heavy feeling on my face and the makeup under my eyes gets clumpy. The Intensive Anti-Wrinkle Cream is great for days that I don’t wear makeup, but I do really like it for using just before bed.

Adovia Intensive Anti-Wrinkle Cream is available from amazon.com.

InstaNatural Vitamin C Toner Spray Review


I love facial mists and sprays because they are so refreshing. I recently became hooked on InstaNatural Vitamin C Toner Spray. I’ve reviewed other InstaNatural products, and I’ve been impressed with all of their products that I have used. InstaNatural uses quality ingredients and has excellent customer service.


About

The Vitamin C Facial Toner Spray renews, hydrates, and restores. It contains witch hazel as an astringent with vitamin C to tighten pores and refresh skin.  It also has aloe vera, MSM, along with other ingredients. It is supposed to penetrate pores and help skin better absorb serums and moisturizers. The toner comes in a bottle, which sprays a light mist.  It has a refreshing grapefruit-like scent.

I absolutely love the spray bottle that it comes in. It feels refreshing, and after using it my skin feels great. It has been a boost to my complexion and kept the oiliness away. The toner seems to be gentle and non-drying. I spray it three or four times, and it drys quickly. I like using it to tone my face after washing, and sometimes I  also like to use it after applying my make up for a more natural looking, dewy appearance.

InstaNatural Vitamin C Facial Toner spray is available from amazon.com.

Adovia Natural Sulfur Soap Review


My son has recently entered the awkward teenage stage and is getting oily, acne-prone skin. We’ve been at odds in our house over soap. He doesn’t like the soap my husband and I use, so it’s time for separate soap supplies. I can definitely say his skin has different needs from mine. When I had the opportunity to review Adovia’s Natural Sulfur Soap, through a Tomoson promotion, I was pretty happy.

box for Adovia Natural Sulfur Soap

The Natural Sulfur Soap can be used on both the face and body. This is great for people, like my son, who are not fond of separate products and taking extra steps. He likes to use the minimum amount of products and get finished in that shower as quickly as possible.

About

Adovia Natural Sulfur Soap is enriched with minerals and sulfur from the Dead Sea. It has a 3% sulfur content. Sulfur can be a good treatment for mild acne. Sulfur acts as a keratolytic, which helps the outer layer of skin to shed and helps unclog pores. Sulfur also has some antibacterial, anti-fungal, and antiseptic properties.

This Natural Sulfur Soap also contains olive oil and aloe vera extract. It removes dirt and oil, unclogging pores. It is non-irritating, but it can make skin dry. This soap isn’t recommend for dry or sensitive skin, and is intended for oily and acne prone skin.

The Results

Before getting the soap, I thought the scent might be unpleasant. It turns out that there is only a subtle sulfur smell. The soap works quite well to control oiliness. The acne on my son’s face has decreased, and overall he is happy with the soap.

Adovia recommends starting to use the sap slowly to allow your skin to adjust to the sulfur. Adovia Natural Sulfur Soap is available from Amazon.com.
