I know that many of you continue to incorporate more and more healthy skincare products into your daily beauty routine, and therefore I wanted to introduce you to a Juice Beauty product that I have been using recently. Before I began testing it, I thought that I would probably like Juice Beauty Green Apple Age Defy Moisturizer, but for some reason I didn't expect to love it as I do. Despite the fact that I have normal/combination skin, I tend to switch to richer and more moisturizing formulas during the colder months of the year, and I initially thought that this moisturizer would not provide me with the level of moisture and hydration that I seek during this time of the year, but instead that it would be perfect for my skin during the warmer months. However, I was very pleasantly surprised to see that this moisturizer not only provided my skin with ample moisture and hydration, but in fact that this potent antioxidant-rich, anti-aging cream did a remarkable job nourishing my skin and leaving it soft, supple, dewy and luminous.
One of the great strengths of this cream is that the Malic Acid gently evens skin tone while the Peptides, Hyaluronic Acid, DMAE, Alpha Lipoic Acid smooth and plump the skin, and noticeably reduce the appearance of fine lines. The formula is lightweight, fast-absorbing and very concentrated– therefore a very small amount is all that is needed.
It has a light and clean natural aroma that delights the senses, but it fades away soon after it is absorbed.
Directions: After cleansing the face, massage this moisturizer into face, neck and décolleté. Use morning and night.
According to Juice Beauty,
Create a brighter and smoother looking complexion with this clinically proven age defy moisturizer that combines certified organic botanical juices with a powerful antioxidant cocktail of alpha lipoic acid, CoQ10, Vitamin C, peptides and DMAE for optimum age-defying results.
The Juice Beauty GREEN APPLE® Age Defy Moisturizer is designed for all skin types (except sensitive skin), 20's and up and is effective for dark spots, discoloration, uneven skin tone and texture. NOTE: the Juice Beauty GREEN APPLE® Brightening Collection is not designed for very sensitive or rosacea skin due to the alpha/beta hydroxy fruit acids--if you have this type of skin, see the Daily Essentials Collection.

I'm glad to hear the scent is light and natural... green apple as a scent can scare me a bit!
ReplyDeleteIt really is, there is no trace of the artificial green apple that you are referring to– otherwise I would really hate using this on my face!
DeleteOoo! I love a good, hydrating moisturizer that brightens, too! I need to check this one out.
ReplyDeleteIt is such a nice moisturizer, and definitely well worth checking out, Erika!
DeleteFrom your wonderful description, this lovely moisturizer might even suit my dry skin. I like Juice Beauty and this moisturizer has been on my 'to try' list for sometime.
ReplyDeleteI definitely think that it is worth checking out, and I think that you would like this moisturizer a lot.
DeleteJuice Beauty has been around for a while but it seems to be having a resurgence in popularity. It uses excellent ingredients.
ReplyDeleteThey definitely have been, and I agree that they are enjoying a resurgence in popularity. They really do use such great ingredients, Marcia!
DeleteGreen apple?! Sounds totally yummy!
ReplyDeleteIt is yummy, but it's not an artificial type of cloying green apple at all.
DeleteI used to use this in the past, it's actually nice
ReplyDeleteIt is nice, and I love the level of hydration that it delivers!
DeleteI've used this in the past and really liked it. The SPF lotion from this range is great as well.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried their SPF lotion, but if it is as good as this– then I definitely want to try it!
DeleteI had a sample of this moisturiser - can't remember where I've put it. It sounds luscious!
ReplyDeleteIt really is luscious! I would definitely try to find that sample to see if you like it! I am very happy with it!
DeleteYou had me at "fast absorbing"! I have a pet peeve with creams/serums/etc that sit there. I need that fast absorbing action because it seems I'm always in a hurry haha
ReplyDeleteI love that aspect of it since it doesn't slow down the following skincare and makeup steps! It's definitely worth trying to find a sample to see if you like it!
DeleteAh, I love when something has a light scent. I haven't used anything from Juiced Beauty in a while.
ReplyDeleteMe too. I am very pleased with this moisturizer!
DeleteI really want to love this brand, but I had a bad allergic reaction to their serum once (made my face swell) so I stay away now :(
ReplyDeleteYikes, I don't blame you! Were you able to isolate the ingredient(s) that you were allergic to?
DeleteSounds alright but then when I look at the formula I don't think it's for me. My skin doesn't handle citrus and citrus-y extracts well.
ReplyDeleteThen you definitely want to pass on this, Melissa!
DeleteI've always wanted to try their Green Apple line, and that price is great for such a big jar!
ReplyDeleteI really like this moisturizer a lot. It is definitely worth checking out!
