Review (4/5): Not just for your face
I bought this product because I am in love with their toner and figured if the ingredients were so awesome in that, they must be great in this too. BUT, like I said in my toner review, I have extremely oily skin and it has taken me years to nail down my facial product routine so I was not about to mess with it. I bought this product to try to deal with the sun damaged skin on the backs of my hands. Many brown spots (from too much sun exposure), wrinkles, dry skin, and crepe like skin. I did get some filler in my hands as they were starting to look like skeletons, and that made them look years younger, but the skin still needed a lot of help. I couldn't wait for the bottle to arrive so I could read the ingredients and I wasn't let down: Organic Aloe Vera, Cucumber Distillate, Botanical Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C, Organic Sunflower Oil, Tamanu Oil, Organic Borage Oil, Organic Flax Seed Oil, Organic Evening Primrose Oil, Organic Rosehip Oil, Vitamin B5, Wildcrafted Arnica, Organic Lavender, Organic Calendula, Organic Chamomile, Macadamia Nut Oil, Kosher Vegetable Glycerin, Glycolic Acid( to give a very slight peel with each application), Organic Coconut Oil, Squalane, Palm Oil, Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Cocoa Butter, Organic Beeswax, Organic Jojoba Oil, Coenzyme Q10, Phytic Acid, Phospholipids, Grapeseed Oil, Wildcrafted Oregon Grape, Wildcrafted Green Tea, Camellia Oil, Avocado Oil, Wildcrafted Eyebright, Helichrysum Essential Oil, Organic Licorice, Lemongrass, Vitamin C Palmitate, Tocopheryl (Antioxidant), Pyrus Malus, Citrus Medica Lemon, and Sugar Cane. WOW! I was more than impressed. I started by using my Clarisonic on the backs of my hands with a gentle cleanser and patting them dry and applying a small drop of this moisturizer to each hand while it was still moist.The first result I noticed was around days 3-5 yhe dryness was just about disappearing, my skin was soft and smooth. Brown spots took a bit longer, about 2 weeks, to really start to fade, but that is probably because the skin on your hands is so different from your face, and these were some bad brown spots. The wrinkles were the last to respond. While I could see mild improvement at 2 weeks, it took 4 weeks to see significant results. Now I am not hesitant or embarrassed when I have to shake someone's hands. I know my hands look and feel good. Now I use an SPF 85 and I can't wait to see how much better they will look after I've been using the product for 6 months!
