ELLA K BEAUTY REVIEW

Paula’s Choice Resist Anti-Aging Eye Gel Review

Resist Anti-Aging Eye Gel is a lightweight gel-cream with a cooling metal applicator.  The formula features peptides, niacinamide, antioxidants,
anti-irritants, and lightweight hydrators.  The gel-cream glides easily over
the skin and absorbs to a soft matte finish.  The formula leaves the eye area soft, refreshed and hydrated, but it may not be emollient enough for dry skin types.  This product is fragrance-free. 

Paula’s Choice Hydralight Healthy Skin Refreshing Toner Review

Hydralight Healthy Skin Refreshing Toner is a hydrating water-like liquid. 
The fragrance-free formula is enriched with green tea, willow herb, grape seed extract, sodium hyaluronate, and other skin conditioners.  The toner absorbs without residue and leaves the skin clean, soft, and lightly hydrated. 

DerMend Alpha + Beta Hydroxy Therapy Moisturizing Body Lotion Review

Alpha + Beta Hydroxy Therapy is a nourishing body lotion for dull dry skin.  The formula features glycolic acid, salicylic acid, ceramides, niacinamide,
and other skin-soothing hydrators.  The lotion goes on easily and absorbs quickly, but it leaves skin slightly tacky.  The formula helps keep skin soft, smooth, and hydrated throughout the day.  This product is fragrance-free. 

iS Clinical Cleansing Complex Review

Cleansing Complex is a clear gel facial cleanser with a soft natural scent. 
The formula combines mild cleansing agents with skin-refining plant extracts and antioxidants.  The gel transforms into a silky-soft lather that cleanses
the skin gently yet thoroughly and rinses easily.  The formula leaves the skin clean, soft, and smooth.

Phyto Phytovolume Volumizing Shampoo Review

Phytovolume Volumizing Shampoo is an amber-colored gel shampoo with
a clean vegetal scent.  The sulfate-free formula features extracts of yarrow, tormentil, red algae, guarana, and other botanical ingredients.  The shampoo lathers well, cleanses the hair thoroughly, and rinses easily.  The shampoo gives the hair some body and texture, but the formula is slightly drying. 

SkinMedica Essential Defense Mineral Shield Broad Spectrum SPF 35 Sunscreen Review

Essential Defense Mineral Shield Broad Spectrum SPF 35 is a mineral sunscreen with a silky cream texture.  The fragrance-free formula combines zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, and antioxidants to protect skin from sun exposure. 
The lightweight cream spreads easily over the face and absorbs to a comfortable, non-greasy finish.  The sunscreen leaves the skin soft and hydrated with only a hint of white residue.

Replenix Gly/Sal 2-2 Foaming Cleanser Review

Gly/Sal 2-2 Foaming Cleanser is a clear liquid cleanser for acne-prone skin. 
The formula features mild cleansing agents, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, soothing plant extracts, zinc, and copper.  The liquid cleanser dispenses as a soft foam that removes dirt, excess oils, and impurities from the skin and pores.  The cleanser leaves the skin clean and refreshed, but it can be drying if used daily.
