InstaNatural Retinol Moisturizer Nighttime Face Moisturizing Cream, Brightens and Reduces Signs of Aging, Wrinkles, Lines and Discoloration, with Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid, 3.4 Fl Oz

As a man in his mid 40's I'm sure I represent something of a rare breed for a product review such as this. I'm comfortable in being a bit of an anomaly here because I feel a much broader issue needs to be addressed; there is awareness to be promoted. A chance to do something meaningful, for my fellow man, presents itself with this product because it works and it works well. The way my skin is, I've always had to use lotion anyway, just to keep from drying up. This stuff would be great if that's all it did because it goes on lite, absorbs quickly, is not greasy and a little goes a long way but, further than that, this product has other benefits, profound benefits.Independent of the basic need for preventing dry skin, at the age of 44, I suddenly found myself searching for... something else. Like most sensible people finding themselves in their mid 40's, who then become aware of their own aging, I began to panic. Seeing that I could not truly justify the expense of a 1977 Corvette Stingray and a leather jacket and because the traditional toupee just looks ridiculous on me (I still have all my hair) I set about looking for a more pragmatic solution to the problem of reality. That quest, mostly conducted on the search bar at the top of the page here, lead me to this.While nothing can truly turn back the clock, this product has the ability to help. I've found it subtle but effective at mitigating the truth about all that mileage piled up on my metaphorical odometer. In fact, what I've found here is not merely a lotion or some silly wrinkle cream; No, No. What I've found is the opportunity to help untold numbers of men who may be at a similar point in their lives, who would like to join me in stark denial and know the joy, once again, of being carded at the liquor store.To you men, presently confronted by a grizzled visage in the mirror more akin to an elephant's posterior than the epitomic pinnacle of male virility that we've all known ourselves to be, I say - Cast off the monetary yolk of mid-life crisis oppression! Spend not on corvettes and Def Leppard CD's! Buy this instead and save the rest of your money for better things! ...like tools or maybe a boat or an ice fishing shack where no one is going to bother you. Speeding tickets aren't as cool as you remember them anyway. Better yet, get revenge on your children and use all that money to spoil the #$^& out of your grandkids! That's what I'm going to do.It's a brave new world of wondrous and magical possibilities. :)

I've been using the Vitamin C & Retinol Serums the Retinol Moisturizer and the Vitamin C Cleanser since January 2018. I am iNsAnE about these products!I am 54 and according to my husband (who also uses the same products and looks FABULOUSLY younger) now look 44. My skin is smoother, brighter, tighter and fresher looking!I wash with the Vitamin C cleanser in the morning and then apply the Vitamin C serum. I use it all over my neck (including the sides), my chest and tops of my shoulders. At night I wash again with the cleanser and apply the Retinol serum the same way and once it dries I apply the Retinol moisturizer. I only use the moisturizer maybe twice per week at night because honestly, the wash and the serums alone have done so much for my complexion I don't feel I really need it every night.I would like to add a little background on myself and how I came to use these products...2 years ago I started following The Primal Blueprint because I wasn't taking care of myself like I should have. I was always very thin (5' 7" and around 120 lbs.) but started eating all the wrong foods and skyrocketed to 154 lbs. I felt horrible about myself. My skin was looking awful and I felt I was aging way before my time.Years of being a sun lover was starting to show in a really bad way with deep lines down the center of my chest and I was always really red (which I later learned was due to inflammation from eating all the wrong foods) on my chest and neck area. My face was looking old, my hair was looking bad and I just felt all around crappy about myself.So I knew I needed to make some changes, fast! I searched for an answer and came across Mark Sisson and his Primal Blueprint.I purchased several of his cookbooks and 1 week later I went Primal. I purged my kitchen cabinets of $200 worth of groceries I had just purchased and started my new life. Long story short, I lost 36 lbs. in about 5 months and now weigh 119 lbs. Instead of junior's size L/XL (size 14-16) I wear juniors size XS (0-2)! The transformation not only in my weight/size but overall general appearance is REMARKABLE!Every wrinkle on my chest, sides of my neck and tops of my shoulders, from sun damage, DISAPPEARED because the thickness of my skin has completely changed with the loss of so much fat. Along with the fat went the ugly sun damage/deep wrinkles!The skin over my entire body has completely changed from dry in some areas, oily in others, wrinkly, sun damaged, ruddy, thick and inflamed to baby smooth from top to bottom and sun damage free! It's truly astounding what a change in diet can do for your skin and overall appearance!As for my hair? When I started the Primal way of life my hair was dull and lifeless and WAS NOT GROWING AT ALL! It was several inches above my shoulders and now it's growing like crazy and is almost down to the middle of my bad. Not only does it grow like crazy but it's thicker and shinier and sheds 99% less.I should add that along with the Primal way of life for 2 years I have also been taking Brain Power Omega-3 Fish Oil for 2 years which I purchase every 90 days here on Amazon and believe much of my overall improvements are a direct result. Living a natural and organic lifestyle has done more for me than I could ever write about here. It was THE BEST THING I have ever done for myself. Everything in my life is organic down to my mascara, the products I clean with and even my mattress! I was just missing one thing....a natural/organic skincare regimen. The one final thing to take the improvements in my skin and make them even better!So here I am reviewing these InstaNatural products which I have to say have only added to and enhanced the wonderful changes that had already taken place in my life.I research EVERYTHING I purchase now and have become a serious ingredients label reader. It's incredibly time consuming but in the end it's worth it. I looked at numerous natural skin care lines here on Amazon and in the end I chose InstaNaturals. After using these products for only 2 months, the improvements in my complexion are SO INCREDIBLE & SO OBVIOUS, I will NEVER use anything else! ( ( I pray they never stop making this stuff).My husband tells me at least 10x a day how great I look and how I have reversed my age and how he can't believe the changes but the other day he said something that I will never forget. He looked at me and said..."You look so good you're actually starting to scare me!"Ladies, if you're thinking about purchasing a new skin care regimen, STOP HERE and try InstaNatural's line of Vitamin C and Retinol. I promise you will not regret it but I need to reiterate that, for me personally, my skin and overall appearance improvements have only improved because of a combination of things. I believe that had I started using this skin care line back when I was eating a horrible diet, it would not have made a difference in my face.You must take care of yourself all around, not just the outside, and that means eating the right foods. Stop putting poisons in your body with the foods you eat. Put the right things in your body and the results will show on the outside. Once you do that, everything you add to your exterior will only enhance your overall health. An overall healthy appearance starts from the inside NOT with what you put on your face!I will purchase these InstaNatural products for life. In fact, Because I use these products on my neck, chest and shoulder as well as my face I will probably reorder more frequently. It is money very well spent. So THANK YOU INSTANATURALS for the MOST AMAZING products ever! I love you but most importantly I love me!
