So Nutra Lift is a new line for me to try. The company is strong on using all
organically grown ingredients so that was a plus for me. 

     The first product I will be talking about is the Herbal NonSoap Cleanser. This cleanser is designed to not strip the skin with any detergent and to leave your skin feeling hydrated and refreshed. This is also supposed to replace a toner by having which hazel in it. Side bar…I am not a fan of toners but that is for another day…Back to the review. The non-soap was a plus for me considering I live in the dry winter weather of the Northeast and tend to be more on the dry side right now.  Since it is a “non’ soap if you are a foaming cleanser guy or gal this might not be for you.
     The first thing I noticed was the amazing citrus scent when I squeezed it in my hand. This comes from the orange flower in it which has an added benefit of brightening the skin’s appearance. It is a gel like texture but like I mentioned does not foam up. The company recommends 2-3 drops which is defiantly more than enough. Massage all around the skin and allow to stay on for about 30 seconds and rinse off. After I used this my skin definitely felt refreshed and clean. 
     The company says it removes all makeup. With that being said it does not remove eye makeup so you would need a separate remover for the eye area. After using this cleanser for a week I had mixed feelings. The Pros for me was the amazing smell, it felt like a wake up call in the shower in the morning and my skin defiantly looked brighter for makeup application.. Also, the organic ingredients made me feel good about what I was putting on my skin. The cons were that my skin did feel a bit tight after. I was hoping that with it being a nonsoap this would not happen. Unfortunately for me it did. This also may be from the peppermint, orange flower and vitamin c. All of which can sometimes be a little harsher on a sensitive or drier skin type.
     All in all if you are looking for a good conscious organic cleaner to try and you are more combination this may be a fit for you. Or for someone like myself that is a bit drier switching it up every other day with another cream or oil based cleanser may give you a nice balance of brightening and hydration. 

     The second product I got to try was the Luminous Eye Serum. I was beyond excited to try this since my under eye area is my problem area like so many. This eye serum is supposed to tighten and brighten dark circles. And let’s be honest who doesn’t want that? The main ingredient that will be doing that is mighty peptides and Olive leaf extract. Olive leaf is creating quite a buzz lately for its natural anti aging benefits.
     Now I loved the texture of this serum. It had a very silky smooth application and glided right on. Most times I have to wait before applying concealer and this was not the case it absorbed immediately and I did notice an instance tightening effect. This could definitely be from the olive leaf or the vitamin c. I did bring this serum onto the eye lid up into the brow bone. This is also recommended by the company, which is a plus! 
     This product was great and I have continued to use it daily. Now, again if hydration around the eye area is a concern for you I would recommend using an additional more hydrating eye cream over it. This is fine since this is an eye serum and it is lighter in texture and not designed to really hydrate but more treat the eye area. Also, when trying any new eye product that has vitamin c do a quick allergy check for those sensitive guys and girls. Out of the two products I tried I really liked this a bit more. So if you are looking for a science meets nature type of skin care line I would recommend trying Nutra Lift. It may be just what your looking for. 

What is it?
     Great skin after a stressful week can sometimes be a case of irony.  Need a pick me up before the big date or having a stressful week that has wreaked havoc on your skin.  Whether it is only a spot or more, Apothederm's Acne Clarifying Treatment is formulated to help clean up sebum and minimize pore size.  It's gentle, yet effective, meaning it won't irritate skin.  Sometimes life brings a breakout and what you need is a problem solver. 

     I get breakouts every so often... a pimple here and there. So having something like this in my drawer puts me a little at ease knowing I can apply this to it after cleaning my face. I just cover the affected area with a thin layer. It says you can apply 1-3 times a day but I would start with just once a day since it may cause your skin to become a little dry. 
     With me, I didn't get any dryness but I still started with once a day and then gradually worked my way up to three times. It's lightweight and absorbs immediately which was nice because then I can go and throw my makeup on right after. It did calm down a few pimples I had and made them not so noticeable which is great! But I didn't notice any pore minimizing during my trial of this. I think I may just have unshrinkable pores since nothing seems to work on me for that!
