Dr. Lewinn by Kinerase Lift & Resculpt Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream
Thursday, December 8th, 2011
The most age fighting eye cream in the world is no good if it stings your eyes. Dr. Lewinn by Kinerase Lift & Resculpt Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream is for all skin types, even sensitive. What we liked the most about it is that we could apply generous amounts to the eye area without irritation. And no overpowering scent! The directions state that this should be applied during the evening. However, we found that we could use during the day under makeup as it’s non-greasy. This gave our skin great texture and as promised improved the appearance of lines around the eyes. The product main ingredients include kinetin, which is an antioxidant plant complex that keeps cells healthier longer and snap-8 peptide which is said to relax the look of wrinkles. Click here for our reviews of other Dr. Lewinn products, which are sold at Walgreens, Duane Reade, and Wal-Mart.

La Roche-Posay Mela-D Dark Spots
Friday, October 28th, 2011
It used to be that most skin lighteners contained hydroquinone. However, in 2006 FDA proposed a ban on the over the counter sale of cosmetics with this ingredient that was so popular to reduce age spots and blemishes. So why the ban? Studies showed some evidence that hydroquinone had some cancer causing properties. 2010 studies also showed that there was a link between hydroquinone and ochronosis, a condition where the skin gets dark and thick. Skin care companies have since found alternate ingredients to use for skin lightening. For example, La Roche-Posay’s Mela D Dark Spots contains Kojic Acid and LHA. You can use this as a daily moisturizer for age spots, sun spots, liver spots, and freckles. It’s also safe for sensitive skin. We tried this for a week and noticed a difference. We really liked that since it’s non-greasy we could use it in the morning beneath our makeup and at night. We noticed a nice improvement, but found that their other product, Mela-D Serum, gives faster results. If you haven’t heard of La Roche-Posay it is a skincare company that bases its products around healing thermal spring water. Their products are all designed not to irritate delicate skin so they are fragrance free and tested on sensitive skin.
Here is a resource for those who have a passion for beauty and want to learn more.

Lumene Excellent Future Deep Repairing Serum
Thursday, October 6th, 2011
In terms of getting the job done with fighting aging, serums are the way to go. Many people ask what the point of using a serum is when you can always use a moisturizer with anti-aging ingredients. But the anti-age ingredients aren’t as potent when mixed with a product that is also tasked to moisturize your skin. So what goes on first, the serum or the moisturizer? You put the serum on first, and then the next layer is your moisturizer. When you have oily skin, sometimes a serum is a great way to have something to protect your skin and you can skip the moisturizer. We found that Lumene’s Excellent Future Deep Repairing Serum gave skin great texture and as promised reduced the depth of existing wrinkles. But what we liked most was that it’s fragrance free and 90% natural. We tried it on sensitive skin and didn’t see any irritation. If you haven’t heard of Lumene before, it’s a Finland based company that makes skincare from Artic berries and plants which are said to be very resilient.

Dr. Lewinn by Kinerase Wrinkle Repair Daily Lotion SPF 30
Friday, September 9th, 2011
It’s good to see that more anti-age lotions that are lightweight enough for oily skin are coming on the market. One of them is Dr Lewinn’s Wrinkle Repair Daily Lotion SPF 30. Protecting your skin against the sun is key, and this moisturizer has an SPF of 30. But what we liked the most was that the formula quickly absorbed into our skin, and wore well under makeup. We expected a greasy look since this product emphasizes moisture but we got great results, even on our testers with more oily skin. Wrinkle Repair Daily Lotion SPF 30 is said to work by restoring skin structure so the surface holds on to more water. We saw younger, more dewy looking skin. But if you have deep wrinkles or creases you may want a heavier product.

Zinn Beauty Collection Contest
Wednesday, August 3rd, 2011
Most likely, you’ve noticed that a lot of beauty products seem to have argan oil these days. The Zinn Beauty Collection is one of the first U.S. cosmetic brands that contains argan oil that is pure enough to use on the body, hair, and face. Argan oil has actually been used in Europe and Morocco for centuries for skin and hair, but did not catch on in the U.S. until 2009. All of you naturalists will also be happy to know that Zinn products are free of preservatives, artificial colors, parabens, and sulfates; and there is no animal testing. We tried their products and put what we think below. You’ll be able to find the Zinn Beauty Collection in beauty salons, drug stores, and major retailers later on this summer with prices between $24.99 and $29.99. However, Zinn Beauty Collection is providing the entire collection (Velvet Cleansing Milk, Revitalizing Anti-Aging Cream, Smooth Body Milk, 100% Moroccan Argan Oil) to three lucky Free Beauty Events readers. To enter to win, just comment on this post with your favorite use for argan oil!
Organic Moroccan Argan Oil – This is the most versatile product. You can literally use this to care for your entire body. Beautifully packaged, you can use it for hydration, reversal of premature aging, stretch mark fading, scars, age spots, acne, dry cuticles, and damaged hair. A little of this goes a long way! You only need a small amount when using it on the skin. It didn’t weigh our hair down as we expected. Our favorite way to use this was to use it to boost our regular daily moisturizer.
Revitalizing Anti-Aging Cream – This is our favorite product of the entire collection. We were skeptical when we saw that this cream had a host of oils in the ingredient list (sunflower oil, jojoba oil, argan oil, etc). So we thought, won’t this clog our pores or lead to greasy skin? Actually it was quite the opposite! Our combination skin was clearer after just two days of use, and our skin looked less greasy with this than our regular moisturizer. And no more dry patches! This cream does a terrific job in balancing the skin, our dry spots were perfectly moisturized and our t-zone was clearer and more matte. This cream is also designed to refine lines and wrinkles, restore elasticity, and boost collagen. We found that the anti-aging quality of this cream was just as good if not better than any department store brand. This cream truly does everything it claims.
Velvet Facial Cleansing Milk – This is a must for people with sensitive skin. Since there is not much foaming action, you can cleanse your face and take off makeup without taking out moisture. This product also has oils, but even those who suffer from acne will benefit from this cleanser. This product has astringent properties (i.e. tea tree oil is an ingredient) that help with acne, rosacea and uneven toned skin. If you have a Clarisonic cleanser or an Olay Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System Cleanser, you may want to try the Velvet Facial Cleansing Milk. Since these electronic cleansers do the exfoliating they work best with gentle cleansers. We tried this with our Olay cleanser and loved it.
Smooth Body Milk – Great body moisturizers aren’t very difficult to find. But what makes the Smooth Body Milk different is that it helps even skin tone as well. We found this to be a great moisturizer and it was very light weight. So if you like thick or heavy lotions
or body butters this product may not be for you.
Three winners will be chosen by 8/10/2011 and notified by email 8/17/2011. U.S. residents only.

Dr. LeWinn by Kinerase Instant Dermal Wrinkle Filler
Friday, July 15th, 2011
If you are impatient with skincare results you’ll like Dr. LeWinn by Kinerase Instant Dermal Wrinkle Filler. It has kinetin which promotes long-term wrinkle reduction over time, but it also smoothes wrinkles in ten minutes with osilift. Osilift is made of oat kernel sugars and creates an invisible film on the skin. This formula is also rich in anti-oxidants, a must for any anti-age product. Of course, this product doesn’t give the same results as injectables, but we thought it worked great for wrinkles.
