Patricia Wexler M.D. - The Skin Regenerating Serum

In another attempt to reverse the damages on my skin from my younger years of excessive tanning, this product was not the answer. Patricia Wexler's Skin Regenerating Serum was introduced to me from Bath and Body Works as a free sample. And of course I was extremely excited to go home and use it since products that I have purchased before from Bath and Body Works such as the Superfill Speed-Plump worked- I saw results and it was effective. However, I was in for a disappointment.

The only real results I found was that my skin felt softer in the morning when I applied on at night. I still had the harsh leathery, discolored skin that resulted from my tanning. It didn't regenerate my skin's tone nor did it give my skin that healthy glow.

I'm not a big fan of this product because it requires you to apply it on twice daily and this product was not something you would want to apply to your skin before you head out of the house. The serum has a very thick feel to it and when you apply onto your face, it does not absorb right away. In fact, it kind of feels like I'm applying a layer of play-doh to my face.

On top of that it also leaves my skin feeling sticky, greasy and shiny. Thus it wouldn't be a great product to use to if you plan on putting on makeup which I have tried once. Since this product is so thick, I couldn't apply my make up on smoothly. My bronzer looked caked on and uneven because of the product.

This product runs at a whopping $65 and was originally $150 for only a 3.4 oz bottle! Yikes! Talk about over priced!...

So stick around and found out products that are cheaper but get the job done!

Gettin Rid of those Dark Circles... Part 1

As I get older I begin to see those dark circles forming under my eyes and it is not attractive! It makes me look old, and at the age of 22 who is already been using anti-aging products, looking old is a something I cannot endure or gracefully accept. I'm even dreading turning 23 in the next couple months.

So what is a girl to do? How do I get rid of this under eye issue? What product works and don't? Do cucumbers really do the trick?

In my desperate need of finding a solution I have ran across a lot of products that don't work, including L'oreal Skin Genesis Eye Serum.

If you're looking something to get rid of dark circles this is not the trick. I'll but it on day and night and I just see the same dark circle under my eyes just sitting there refusing to budge. However, this product is not a complete waste, it does help with other eye issues that I've noticed.

If you've started to see very small premature wrinkles around your eyes this might do the trick. There are times when I wake up and I see a tiny wrinkle under my eyes, and yes I do freak out, but I've noticed if I put the eye serum right before I got to bed the tiny wrinkle disappears or is less visible. The only problem is when I do put this product on before I go to bed I end up waking up with crust all over and around my eye. And it is disgusting. It clings to my lashes and sometimes hard to wipe off without irritating my eye.

So in the end I wouldn't buy this product again, it was too expensive and the negatives out weighed the positives.

What products works or doesn't work for you? Feel free to put your two cents in!

Other than that, stayed tuned for part 2!
