This is my favourite face mask, with Juice Beauty's Green Apple Peel as an "in between" treatment. The mask isn't cheap ($67) but I buy it from Life Extension and so get a discount. To begin with, it smells like heaven. It's perfect for an aromatherapy bath. The mask is very light and looks like custard. I find my skin to be very well hydrated, smooth, and glowing after use.
Here's what Dr. Gary Goldfaden (the formulator) has to say about it:
Improves skin's elasticity, tone, and texture. The Anti-Aging Mask contains active, rejuvenating ingredients for healthy and youthful looking skin. The Mask fights skin aging by protecting the skin from free radicals. Regular use can help fine lines and has a cumulative effect on the youthfulness of skin.
Notable Specialty Ingredients: Argireline, Matrixyl, Jojoba Oil, Hyaluronic Acid.
Here's the complete list of ingredients:
Water, Argireline, Matrixyl, Antarcitine, Jojoba Oil, Apricot Kernel Oil, Hyaluronic Acid, Laureth-7, C13-14, Isoparaffin, Co-Enzyme Q10, Red Tea Extract, Squalene, Lipids, Polyacrylamide, Chamomile, Sage, Neroli, Phenonip.
Here's what I found out about Antarcitine:
Discovered in nature, it protects a bacterium found in the Antarctic against the inhospitable environment. The isolated glycoprotein reduces wrinkles by stimulating the regeneration of collagen I and IV, and elastin, as well as the growth of fibroblasts. In addition it plays a versatile role in protecting the skin against extremely dry and cold conditions. It protects the skin, preventing dryness and loss of elasticity, which are also major factors in the formation of wrinkles.
The mask, along with many other products, can be purcahsed from this website:

I see they have a few kits, hand and eye products, all of which contain red (rooibos) tea and HA. |
