I am looking for a good "perfecting" or "anti-fatigue" moisturizer that has something in it to make my skin immediately look better.  Something for those days when I look tired after work but I still have plans to go out on the town. A lot of men's lines carry these products. I have tried Clarin's Mens "Anti Fatigue" moisturizer. I loved it-- it immediately brightened my skin and took away all my dehydration wrinkles right away! But it has 2 forms of non-moisturizing alcohol in the first 5 ingredients and tons of fragrance too, so I don't want to use it anymore. Does anyone have anything good they use for those nights out? |

I used the Valmont Renewing Pack regularly for some years and it is good for a quick pick up when you’re tired and need to go out that night.
Lately I’ve been using the Kimberly Sayer Hydrating Anti-Oxidant Facial Mask and I find it’s also not bad. Plus, it’s much cheaper than the valmont, around 1/5 of the price or less.

But I have been thinking of buying the Valmont again, just for old times sake. I’m so fickle ...  |

Hey appletini, how's the result after using the Kimberly Sayer Mask? Does it also give an immediate radiant look? TIA. |

Yes Amon I know! Elizabeth Grant serums make your skin looking brighter immediately. You must try. You would be doing yourself a disservice. Shes on NBC Shop later on today. |

luna - well in my case, I find it does seem to give a slight firming, skin maybe a little “brighter”, with perhaps a more even texture/tone. In fact I just tested it again a few minutes ago on my 49 year old skin, which only had 4 hours sleep last night, so “radiance” is probably too much to hope for at this point 
I think it’s a nice product at a reasonable price, but possibly the Valmont might be better for the radiant/glowing thing. It’s been a while since I used the Valmont so hard to compare. |

| I have a sample of Valmont Regenera II. Is this similar to renewing pack or totally different? |

I don't think the two Valmont products can be compared...
I have been using a couple of samples of Valmont Renewing Pack in the past and found it very nice. It's rich in mineral oil and I thought it gave my skin a somewhat refined and polished look.
Unlike appletini, I am not a big fan of Kimberly Sayer Hydrating Anti-oxidant Facial Mask. I have the full size bottle and have been using it once a week for some time now. The problem is that it leaves a matte, sticky layer on my face. I cannot use it when I want to look "refreshed". It's nice to hear that Kimberley Sayer has some fans, though, because I like the concept behind her products. |

It is different. Regenera 2 is a cream for a very dry skin and renewing pack is a mask that is less oily and should give you instant refreshing feeling in your skin. They both are very good. They just have different purpose. |

These 2 masks work for me:
Eyesential The Lift
Nu Skin Face Lift
They both involve mixing powder with activator and the Eysential is the pricier one. However, both will give you a result. |

I am reviving an old thread. I like Beauty Flash Balm by Clarins. It brightens and firms the skin immediately. There is nothing anti aging though, and the effect is gone the next day.
Does anyone have any new suggestions? |

Karin Herzog oxygen face creams or mask work really well for refreshing your skin and brightening your look.
Orlane has an anti-fatigue cream with anti-aging benefits I think. I've only used the anti-fatigue eye serum and it worked very well for refreshing the eye area so I imagine the face cream would work as well. |
