Review (4/5): MBA Night Renewing Serum Helps Reduce the Appearance of Wrinkles Around My Eyes!
No, I'm not vain, but I don't won't to look old before my time. I'm a fifty-six-year-old Caucasian male who just retired after 34 years of government service. Fortunately, I still look as though I am in my forties. What is my secret? Simple. I don't smoke, I don't lay out in the sun, I drink plenty of water, and I moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. Lately, I've also learned the importance of using products, such as facial serums, that have retinol, which reduces wrinkles around the eyes. I don't believe in plastic surgery but I do strongly believe in using topical products that reduce the appearance of aging. Everyone I personally know who has had plastic surgery ended up looking like a clown with a lopsided mouth and huge, shocked eyes.
I've been using several Higher Education products as part of a facial cleansing and healing regimen. The products that I've been using are the NO BRAINER Gentle Skin Cleanser and the GOAL DIGGER Moisturizing Cucumber Crème. Both are excellent products; I am quite pleased with them. Thanks to them, my skin looks healthy and glowing. After I retired, I moved from Virginia to Tennessee and the change in environment caused my face to become badly dehydrated. I was waking up with dry, irritated patches of skin on my face that sometimes stung. Thankfully, with the help of the Higher Education products, I have been able to heal my skin and keep the dry patches away.
I also decided to use the MBA Night Renewing Serum from Higher Education as part of my nightly ritual. The MBA is to be used only at night. Also, the consumer is to use it only twice a week and gradually increase its usage as tolerated. Well, I've been using it every night for two weeks without any issues. However, I use it sparingly around my eyes. I've noticed a difference in the three weeks that I have been using it. Fewer wrinkles and smoother skin. The serum is light-green and doesn't have a distinguishable scent. It burns slightly when I put it on but the burning sensation quickly goes away. I use the MBA after applying my GOAL DIGGER, which moisturizes my skin, preparing it for the MBA. Like I stated earlier, I've been using the MBA for three weeks and I haven't experienced any ill side effects or allergic reactions such as acne, hives, blisters, or red, swollen skin.
The serum arrived in a 1.7 fluid-ounce pump bottle with a plastic, transparent cap. For some unknown reason, I keep forgetting that the tube has a pump. I want to squeeze the tube as though it were toothpaste. The cap prevents accidental leakage and spillage. I think it would be difficult to tamper with the tube. The tube arrived inside a sturdy, cardboard box, which contained company literature. The MBA is a good product. My only issue with it is the expiration date. An expiration date is provided on the back of the tube's crimp and on the bottom of the box. It reads as follows: EXP 09/20. This is not a good date, especially for a product that will probably be in usage for three to four months, if used sparingly. I expected it have about the same expiration date as the one I found for the NO BRAINER Gentle Skin Cleanser and the GOAL DIGGER Moisturizing Cucumber Crème, which is 09/21.
I wonder if Higher Education decided that giving products that would soon expire to reviewers from the Amazon Vine Program was a good means for disposing of aging products. Whenever I review a food or hygiene product, I always look for an expiration date. Not all hygiene products have expiration dates. I think they all should in order to let consumers know whether or not they are receiving safe products with fresh ingredients. I hope that customers who actually purchase the MBA Night Renewing Serum will obtain a product with a better expiration date. Nevertheless, I believe that MBA is good for lessening the appearance of wrinkles. MBA won't remove them completely. I don't think anything will. However, MBA will help to minimize them.
