Spotlight | NeoCell Skincare Products + Giveaway!

A few months ago, I had the privilege of trying out some of NeoCell's best-selling products - the Beauty Bursts and the Keratin Hair Volumizer. Using them for weeks led to amazing results, hence I grew really fond of the brand. And so when NeoCell sent me a second wave of their new products, I was more than thrilled, and ready to be impressed all over again.

Today I'll be doing a capsule review of these three products - the Alpha Cell Exfoliator, the Hydra+ H.A. Serum, and the Refreshing Herbal Mist. I've been using all three for more than a month now, and I must say, NeoCell does exactly what it says it can do for your skin.

L-R: Alpha Cell Exfoliator, Hydra+ H.A. Serum, Refreshing Herbal Mist.

Made with natural fruit extracts, the Alpha Cell Exfoliator removes dead skin cells on the surface to make the skin look fresh and radiant. It contains green tea, a product that is rich in anti-oxidants, and has anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties.

Alpha Cell Exfoliator, $5.73.

To use, simply pour a moderate amount on a cotton ball, and apply it on clean, dry skin while avoiding the eye area. I use this every morning, before applying moisturizer on my face.

Clear liquid, comes in a clear plastic bottle.

I love how this product penetrates easily, and how it makes my skin bright and tight sans the redness and irritation. For those who detest heavily-scented skincare products, you'll like how this product has no scent at all, although I was kinda hoping for it to smell like green tea or something.

NeoCell details.

The Hydra+ H.A. Serum, on the other hand, is a 'penetrating time-release serum' that contains natural hyaluronic acid (H.A.). Hyaluronic acid plays a critical role in skin health with its unique ability to hold in moisture.

Hydra+ H.A. Serum, $25.17

When applied topically, hyaluronic acid forms an air permeable layer and penetrates into the dermis, thus boosting the elasticity and hydration of the skin. The protective barrier on the skin locks in moisture, which gives the skin a youthful appearance.

Time release serum.

NeoCell's Hydra+ H.A. Serum does exactly that - it makes the skin glowing, plump, and youthful-looking. My skin felt tight right after the first application, and with continued use, the fine lines under my eyes started to fade away.

Paraben-free!

This product has a nice, citrus scent - subtle and not overpowering at all. It comes in a pump bottle, which dispenses the product easily and hygienically.

Pump bottle.

The serum has just the right consistency - not too thick, not too runny, and is easily absorbed by the skin. One pump is enough to cover the face and neck, so just a little goes a long way. I use this product twice a day, morning and evening, in lieu of my regular moisturizer. I love what this product does for my skin, so I don't think I'll be going back to my old moisturizer anytime soon. :)

One pump is all you need.

Finally, there's the Refreshing Herbal Mist, NeoCell's 'on-the-go moisture complex'.

Refreshing Herbal Mist, $7.17

This cooling mist contains collagen, skin balancing herbs, and soothing aloe vera that makes the skin hydrated and revitalized.

On-the-go Moisture Complex.

It comes in a handy 30 mL spray bottle that fits even in my smallest purse. I love that I can take this product wherever I go, and use it whenever my skin needs a little 'pick-me-up' - especially on days when I'm busy running errands while going to and fro my son's school.

Paraben-free!

Light, non-sticky, and lightly-scented, this product dries easily and can be spritzed even with makeup on. So yeah, I love that I can freshen up my face without worrying about my mascara running or my foundation caking. :)

Spritz!

Spotlight | NeoCell Beauty Bursts + Giveaway!

Women usually experience the first signs of aging once she hits her 30's. During this period, our body starts to lose its collagen, and the elastic fibers in our skin begin to crumble. As a result, fine lines and wrinkles start to appear, and sallow, sagging skin become apparent.

This is the reason why I'm taking better care of my skin now, more than ever. Sure, aging is inevitable, but I certainly do not want to look old and wrinkly. Not when I'm only 32!

I have a skincare regimen that goes beyond the usual cleanser, toner, moisturizer. This includes an eye cream, a serum, a sleeping pack (which I use at least twice a week), a pore clay mask (which I use during weekends), and special mask sheets which I use as needed. And just recently, I've even added collagen supplements to my skincare routine.

Beauty Bursts from Neocell.

While most collagen supplements are either pills or lotions, Beauty Bursts come in a chewable, candy form. (Think Starbursts or Frutella.) They come in two different flavors, too - Fresh Mint Chocolate and Super Fruit Punch.

Check the label! :)

Manufactured by NeoCell - now the number 1 collagen brand in the world, these gourmet soft chews contain Collagen Type 1 and 3 (for firm, smooth skin, and strong hair and nails), Hyaluronic Acid (for skin hydration and renewal), and Vitamin C (which acts as collagen enhancer). These chews are made with an all-natural formula, and do not contain gluten, soy, palm oil, or artificial flavors.

Nutritional information.

One pack of Beauty Bursts contains 60 soft chews. That's good for one-month consumption, since the suggested intake is 2 chews per day. However, these chews taste so good, you'd be tempted to exceed the recommended dose. Lol.

2 chews = 2000 mg collagen.

Yum!

I've been taking these chews for a little over two weeks now. In that short period of time, I noticed the fine lines under my eyes slowly diminishing, while my cheeks look plumper than the usual. And to think the stress of the past two weeks (i.e. my son and I both got sick, plus tons of school activities now that the academic year is about to end) should have ultimately taken toll on my skin! Also, in the span of two weeks, I've clipped my nails about three times. Meaning, my nails grew surprisingly fast - because on the average, I clip my nails every other week.

Now if you're thinking of adding collagen to your own skincare regimen, these Beauty Bursts are a good (and yummy) way to start. They sell for about $17 a pack, and can bought at retail stores such as GNC, Whole Foods, and Better Health.

Here in the Philippines, NeoCell products are distributed by Power and Beauty. You can purchase the Beauty Bursts through their online store, or you can visit their shop located at Trinoma Ayala Mall, Level 1. Each bag is sold at Php 1200.

One of my readers, however, will have the chance to try the Beauty Bursts for free. Yes, free!
Our friends from NeoCell will be giving away one pack of Beauty Bursts plus a bottle of Keratin Hair Volumizer (will talk more about this product in a separate post) to one of my loyal followers!

As always, this giveaway will be done via Rafflecopter. All of the mandatory tasks should be completed for your entries to be valid. You can earn more entries by completing the optional tasks. That simple. :)
Giveaway runs until April 15th, and is open worldwide.
