I have talked about NeoCell here before and wanted to share my thoughts on another product I have been using from the brand. NeoCell Derma Matrix Collagen Skin Complex was something new to me when I was first given the product. But, with new inventions in the beauty industry each day – I was very interested to see whether or not this was a product I would like. I am constantly reminded that I am not getting any younger, so any product that I can use to try and slow down the aging process I’m experiencing, I’m all for.
With advanced ingredients designed to internally nourish the skin, Derma Matrix’s formula uses BioActive NeoCell Collagen which is created through a propriety micronization process. The product dissolves instantly in water, juice or your favorite smoothie and is standardized to be both bioavailable and bioactibe for maximum absorption and efficacy.
This product helps to promote reduction of lines and wrinkles, increases hydration by 21%+ and supports cell turnover & elasticity. After taking this product for about a month with my water or green juice, I noticed that my skin feels moisturized and hydrated, even before I add my normal moisturizing products. During the Winter months – this is key since my skin is very dry and needs the added moisture to keep my Eczema from having a flare up.
This product is Clinically Tested with 92% of people experiencing an increase in skin hydration and 65% of people experiencing firmer & softer skin. I have noticed my skin definitely is softer, more hydrated and in some places, firmer. This product includes some of my favorite ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C.
I’m quite impressed with this product and I love that it is so easy to take. NeoCell offers such awesome products for supplements and I have been liking this one. It doesn’t really have much of a flavor so mixing it with juice or your favorite smoothie will result in no flavor or taste you don’t like. I prefer to drink with my green juice, because I can slightly taste it when I mix it with water. It’s not completely flavorless, but not a bad taste, just my preference.
You can purchase this product and others at places like Whole Foods, Vitamin World, GNC and other locations that carry supplements Nationwide. For about $24.99 (6.46oz / 183g) you get to help your skin with great ingredients. I’m loving this and I know that this is one supplement that is not only easy to take, but something I’ll continue to use.

Have you tried anything like this before? If so – what are your thoughts?
There are so many products on the market today that offer a variety of benefits for our skin – including Organic ingredients and skin loving goodness. I…
With new inventions created daily in the beauty industry – it always amazes me when I see new products hit the shelves or online store fronts that help with things like anti-aging and wrinkles, acne scarring and overall appearance. There are so many products out there with so many price points and designs, it can be a challenge to know which will work best for your skin. Having worked in the medical industry – I have seen cosmetic surgery and laser treatment first hand and I am still blown away with how many technological items are now available to help combat the issues that required surgery at one time. The Bright Therapy Softlaser Plus has been an interesting tool to try and I wanted to share it with my readers. Is it something I got results from? Read on to see…
The Bright Therapy Softlaser Plus is said to be the No. 1 selling Light Therapy Softlaser in the world (information from the company). This laser is ideal for treating acne, wrinkles and spider veins, age spots and much more. With consistent use you should look years younger and have beautiful skin, a clear – radiant complexion and it’s easy to use in the privacy of your own home. The unit retails for about $140 to $239 – more or less depending on where you purchase your unit. You can find it for sale on the Bright Therapy website or via their Amazon store.
The unit features a 635nm Narrow Band, high power red laser light. It is made with a medical grade stainless steel aperture cover, CPO Technology (continuous power output) Anti-dimming light and can cover a large treatment area as it creates a 11mm wide beam. This unit is cordless and takes 2 AAA batteries (which are included with purchase) and a carrying case which makes it ideal for travel. The unit is small and lightweight so it makes treating areas a breeze as you are not required to hold up a product to your face, etc. for long periods of time that will be too heavy to hold.
Laser or light therapy is something that tends to freak many people out. This Bright Therapy Softlaser Plus does not cut or burn as surgical lasers may do and the unit does not hurt at all when applied to the skin. It has a light that penetrates into the skin to stimulate cellular growth so there is no discomfort from the treatment regardless of how often you use it. While applying the light to your skin, you may decide to have a continuous pulsing sensation or vibration or pulsing sensation which feel like a soft skin massage. The Bright Therapy Softlaser Plus produces a true laser light that has a super wide beam. It is the coherent and monochromatic laser light that stimulates skin cells to produce more ATP cell energy which is energized cells that in turn act like younger cells, producing more collagen, healing faster and fighting acne causing bacteria.
The Bright Therapy Softlaser Plus is effective for the following things:
helping to reverse the effects and signs of aging
reducing wrinkles and fine lines
stimulating collagen for help with skin tone
clearing acne and erasing blemishes and bruises
diminishing scars, stretch marks, cuts and burns
treating herpes and cold sores
helping to treat tennis elbow, tendonitis, arthritis, sinusitis / rhinitis
healing eczema, dermatitis, rosacea, burns, spider veins and more…
The wave length of power has been proven to be the most beneficial for skin rejuvenation. The Bright Therapy Softlaser Plus uses a proprietary system that creates 11mm wide beam so that a large area can be covered. And, instead of dimming when the batteries get low – the Softlaser will shut off automatically letting you know you need to replace the batteries. Using this unit is so easy – simply press the button on the top and select a constant vibration or pulsating one and treat the areas on your skin you desire. Make sure when treating places near the eyes that you tilt the laser away from your eyes and run the laser on your skin in a zig zag motion to cover the area you are treating. As with any laser, do not stare into the beam, point at your eyes or at anyone else’s and treat this as you would laser tool. Be careful and use as recommended and suggested.
Complete System Includes:
The Bright Therapy Softlaser Plus, Instructional DVD, User Manual, 2’AAA’ Batteries and Travel Case.
All Bright Therapy Softlaser Plus are covered by a 1 Year Warranty.
So what are my thoughts on this product now that I have given you the very LONG low down on the product? Well, first – let me say that it is so easy to use, you even get batteries with the product so it makes it quick to try it out of the box. I like that because it allows you to try out the product immediately once you have read the directions. It is easy to use, you have one button to control the whole unit. Press the button once and it will turn it on with a continuous vibration, press the button again and you will get a soft pulsating vibration and press the button again and it will shut the unit off. It does not hurt, burn or irritate my skin at all – major bonus. For anyone with sensitive skin like I have, it doesn’t affect my skin in any way and feels like a soft massage on my face or body.
So does it work? Well, I have used it on my face but didn’t notice any extreme results and I have been using it a month. I have also been using it on my wrists to help with some pain with my bilateral carpal tunnel and while I have been getting some relief, again – nothing quite extreme. Though, I’ll be honest, it has gotten my attention some since I notice I can type for a longer period of time without issue. The thing that I have notice a difference in is my spider veins. After holding 11 pounds worth of twin babies in my tummy a few years ago, I developed spider veins on my calves on the outside and they are not very nice looking. Normally I ignore them but I figured I would try and treat those areas. After just a month, I noticed that my spider veins are appearing to be a lot flatter, not so much 3D or sticking out and they are lighter. Now – again, having worked in medical and I know Sclerotherapy can be painful as is laser treatment so if this helps to alleviate at least some of the issue – count me in. The Bright Therapy Softlaser is painless in comparison to other treatments, so I will continue using it and try to share the results with you.
Oh – sorry, I bet you wanted to see those nasty spider veins? Well, not today… not today! lol Overall – I think with consistent use (I use mine 2-3 times a day when time permits) you can experience some form of results, even if only a little at a time. With continued use and over time, I am excited to see how this will help. My goal is to try this out on my Eczema flare ups to see if it works or on a break out here and there. I’ll be sure to update and let you know how it does when I’m able to try it out for those purposes.
One quick note… make sure to not get serums, creams, etc. on the unit and if you do – a little alcohol wipe should help clean it up. Use on dry skin and the unit is not waterproof so do not use in the shower.
So – have you heard of something like this before that is handheld and can be used in the comforts of your own home? If you have, what are your thoughts, if you haven’t – do you think you would give it a try. Also, have you tried it? If so – what kind of results did you get?

With technology increasing and new and innovative products hitting the shelves often, I am always impressed with the things we see on the market today. Recently I have had the opportunity to try the Ionic Infusion Wrinkle-Eraser Wand & Under-Eye Massager. I wanted to share my thoughts on this product and how it worked for me.
This interesting looking tool has an ionic flow that uses gentle, negative-ion technology with micro-electric pulses that gently push your favorite essential oil, cream or serum treatment deeper in to the skin. Now, I’m not gonna lie, when I first laid my eyes on this tool, I really thought it was interesting – to say the least. All thoughts aside, I was intrigued to try it. With consistent use, this will help deliver noticeable reduction in appearance of fine lines, eye-bags and lines around your mouth.
This product is super gentle and is easy to use. Simply put in the batteries (included) and touch the silver piece to your face in the area you want to treat, while placing your finger or grip the silver bar on the side of the unit. It will not work unless contact is both on the top (silver) area and strip are both touched at the same time. The pulsations are gentle and the ultrasonic therapy helps to promote increased circulation to reduce puffy eyes, promote deeper, effective eye treatments and even helps to reduce dark circles. In just two weeks, I noticed that my eye creams and gels were working faster than before and since I use my Foreo Luna’s Anti-aging side once a week or less, I love that I can pull this tool out and get similar treatment without pulling out my Luna. The Ionic Infusion tool is convenient, great for travel and easy to use. Using the tool is very easy and you would touch it to your skin for the ionic pulsations after applying your favorite serum.
The device is FDA registered (reg #D233185) and is small enough to fit in your purse or carry on for trips. I love using this tool all over my face, forehead, around my lips, brow area and the normal areas as well to help my creams and serums have deeper penetration. What I enjoy the most is the price – this product is less than $35 and right now is on sale for under $19. After using this for a month, I’m really enjoying it as a part of my skin care and beauty regimen.
So what about you? Did you look at this product and giggle a bit and do you think this is something you could add to your skin care routine? These are one of those products that you must try yourself to see if it works, I noticed results and I think you may too. I also love the massage I got after using it each time and enjoy the product.

One type of serum I can’t get enough of is Hyaluronic Acid and it’s something I include in my daily skin care regimen without skipping a beat. Since I naturally have dry skin and I’m Eczema prone, this particular serum helps to keep my skin hydrated and moisturized so that I have less flare ups. I have tried many many serums including this ingredient in the past and I’m constantly trying new ones. Recently, I added the CSCS Advanced Face Serum with Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C to my regimen. I’ve been using it the last month in combination with other products I currently use and I wanted to share my thoughts with you on this product.
CSCS Advanced Face Serum – Hyaluronic Serum + Vitamin C (1 fl.oz.) retails for $24.99 and comes in a very bold blue bottle which makes it easy to find among my other skin care products. The Vitamin C Serum is made with 100% natural ingredients – formulated with natural, plant based ingredients including Hyaluronic Acid and polypeptide Vitamin C. Like most serums with similar ingredients, it helps to restore the skin with antioxidants, UV protection and moisturizing nutrients that penetrate deep into the skin strengthen and defend the skin against damage from free radicals and unfavorable environmental conditions. This product is a skin safe anti-wrinkle moisturizer that is free of chemicals like parabens, phthalates, sulfates and alcohol and it is also free of artificial scents, colorants and preservatives. This serum is formulated and produced in the USA in small quantities using renewable resources and is manufactured in an eco-friendly, cruelty-free environment. No animal ingredients are used and this product is not tested on animals.
Now that I have broke it down for you – here are my thoughts on this product. The actual serum is semi clear where the liquid looks a little transparent white. It is very much like a liquid – not gel like and applies easily to the skin. It soaks into my face and neck quickly which I absolutely love and doesn’t leave my skin feeling sticky once it is set and has soaked in properly. A little goes a long way with this product due to the liquid like texture. I never use a full dropper and can apply the product directly to my entire face, neck and decollete area in half a dropper or less. It has a light citrus scent, but very light so I can use this at night if I feel the need though it is a part of my daytime routine.
After a month of using this product, I’m quite impressed. It helps to keep my skin hydrated through the day without leaving my skin feeling dry or sticky. The price point is awesome and spot on considering the amount of product you receive and I do like the packaging. The dropper tool makes it easy to use and I love that I can move on with my skincare routine without waiting for the product to soak into my face. I definitely suggest this product and would recommend it to anyone looking for a serum at a reasonable cost. You can purchase this product here.

I have been reading and watching reviews on Tatcha products now for quite some time but never got around to trying anything from the brand until recently.…
I’m always interested in trying out new and innovative devices and technology when it comes to beauty or skin care. Let’s face it, our world is constantly evolving and that includes devices that can help with all kinds of beauty related issues. I also enjoy a product that is easy to use and will assist in your daily beauty needs. I was given the opportunity to try the Swiss Ultimate Labs Sonic-Ionic Infusion Wrinkle-Eraser Wand & Under-Eye Massager and here are my thoughts on this little gadget.
First off, the shape of this massaging tool is definitely interesting. It retails for under $30 and currently on sale for $16. It’s a cool little tool that comes ready to use right out of its packaging – battery and all. What does it do? Using gentle, negative-ion, micro-electric pulses it gently pushes your favorite essential oils, creams and serums deeper into your skin providing a noticeable reduction in appearance of find lines, eye-bags and lines around the mouth. This little unit has ultrasonic therapy that promotes increased circulation to reduce puffy eyes, promotes deeper, effective eye treatments and reduces dark circles. Within 2-3 weeks you will noticeably see or feel firmer skin in the areas you have treated.
This product is light weight and portable which makes it easy to take with you during travel. It can be used on the forehead, around the lips and brow area and under the eyes. It is also an FDA registered device. Another cool thing is that the company offers a 100% Money Back Guarantee.
So here is how I used it and my results from the product. I am a serum addict so I found that it worked well with any of the serums I loved to use. After applying my serum or cream to my under eye area, I would start to use the Ionic Eye Device. By lightly applying (touching) the device to the skin in which I want to treat and pressing softly on the silver button along the length of the device, the device will automatically sense the contact electronically and go to work. This unit encourages absorption of the treatment to your skin and also provides a light massage. You will continue massaging on each section that you want to treat for 30 seconds and you can do this each night before bed when doing your beauty regimen.
The companies claim is that in 4-6 weeks, your fine lines and puffiness are visibly reduced and the area under eyes appears significantly younger. I have definitely noticed a difference in places I apply my serums and treat. The puffiness under my eyes have decreased enough for me to take notice after just a few short weeks. At the price point, I think it is definitely worth a try.
There are so many devices on the market today with a wide range of price points, but while some will offer you a little bit of improvement when it comes to your skin, others may not work at all. I have fairly good skin and so when it comes to trying out new products and devices, I tend to see results or not if something works or doesn’t. In this case, I can definitely say this product does offer some form of improvement if even just a massage for my tired eyes and facial lines. I think it’s worth the try especially at the price.
You can purchase this product via their Amazon store here.
