ELLA K BEAUTY REVIEW

Paula’s Choice Resist Retinol Skin-Smoothing Body Treatment Review

Retinol Skin-Smoothing Body Treatment is a nourishing lotion enriched with retinol, shea butter, plant oils, and antioxidants.  The formula feels silky going on and it absorbs without a greasy residue.  The lotion provides instant and lasting relief to dry skin, leaving it velvety soft and hydrated.  The retinol in the formula helps to smooth the skin without redness or irritation.

Replenix Serum CF Review

Replenix Serum CF is a lightweight gel-serum with a caramel tint. 
The fragrance-free formula features a high concentration of caffeine and green tea polyphenols, along with sodium hyaluronate and anti-irritants.  The serum quickly disappears into the skin without stickiness or shine.  The formula soothes the skin and calms irritation, but it provides little moisture. 

Supergoop! Skin Soothing Mineral Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 40 Review

Skin Soothing Mineral Sunscreen is a silky lotion that combines mineral zinc oxide with a chemical sun filter.  The fragrance-free formula also includes a touch of antioxidants and natural oils.  The lotion goes on easily and absorbs quickly without a heavy feel or white residue.  The lotion leaves the skin a bit shiny, but the shine diminishes within a few minutes of application.  The formula feels surprisingly light and comfortable for the level of sun protection it provides.

Algenist Complete Eye Renewal Balm Review

Complete Eye Renewal Balm is a lightweight yet emollient eye cream.  The fragrance-free formula includes shea butter, meadowfoam seed oil, alguronic acid, antioxidants, peptides, plant extracts, and other 
skin-friendly ingredients.  The balm feels rich going on, but it quickly absorbs to a soft, non-greasy finish.  The formula instantly hydrates and softens the eye area, creating a smooth base for concealer.  

Dr. Dennis Gross Ferulic + Retinol Triple Correction Eye Serum Review

Ferulic + Retinol Triple Correction Eye Serum is a clear eye gel-serum. 
The formula is enriched with retinol, ferulic acid, licorice, caffeine, and other skin-benefiting ingredients.  The serum absorbs readily into the skin, adding lightweight hydration.  The formula softens and smoothes the eye area, but it can cause redness and irritation when used daily.
