I will be
completely honest: I was not blessed with good skin. Acne and facial scarring runs in my
family, especially on my dad's side (his brother had
to get shots in the face to treat his acne). For
that reason, I have tried my fair share of skin care products, yet I’ve never
felt the need to purchase slightly expensive skin care products, even though they
could possibly be helpful.
A
lovely woman by the name of Sandie Hale reached out to me a few weeks ago asking
if I wanted to try some samples of the Rodan + Fields line of skin care products. I never heard of R+F
before and when I found out it was a skin care line, I was excited to sample
the product. Sandie Hale is a R+F consultant and she
has made it her mission to get the word out about these great products.
Here
is a short background on the company:
"Dr.
Katie Rodan and Dr. Kathy Fields founded Rodan + Fields®Dermatologists
in 2002 to extend their vision of bringing dermatology-based skin treatment to
everyone. Originally available as a top-selling clinical skincare brand in
high-end department stores, the company realized the Doctors’ vision could
never be fully realized when confined to the department store
counter."-R+F Website
I
was given a sample of the ENHANCEMENTS Micro-Dermabrasion Paste, a Night
Renewal Serum and the Lip Renewal Serum.
I
started the regimen
by using the ENHANCEMENTS Micro-Dermabrasion
Paste.
Texture
of The Product: The Paste
is similar to a sugar body scrub, so it may
cause a little redness if your skin is sensitive. Helpful Tip: If you
have sensitive skin (like I do), make sure that you dampen your face before
using the Paste. It helps!!
Smell
of the product: Non-fragrant, yet cool and refreshing! It is not overpowering as some medicated
products tend to be.
Results:
After washing my face, the blackheads on
my nose were gone completely, as well as the dead skin.
Next are the two serums.
I started of with the Night Renewal Serum.
Texture
of The Product: Surprisingly the serum was light
and non sticky. It practically
evaporated into my face, leaving my face feeling as
if I had not applied any product.
Smell
of The Product: No
smell
Results:
My face felt clean, cool, smooth, and ever-so
kissable (according to the Hubby).
Lastly the Lip Renewal Serum
Texture
of The Product: Identical
to the Night Serum.
Smell
of The Product: No smell
Results: This serum is pretty much like the Night Serum except the
serum doesn't evaporate into my lips. It leaves a slight gloss finish without
any stickiness!!
Would I Recommend This?
Yes, I loved how lovely my skin felt during the two days that I used the
samples. The full
regimen and products are expensive in comparison to in-store skin care
products, however this product worked better than any skin care product that I
used previously. Also, the products are
made by the makers of Proactiv.
*disclaimer
– I was given these products to sample and received no monetary compensation
for my review.
