Original Sleek Tightening Cream

· Leave a Comment

 

Sagging skin changes the structure of the face. One may no longer look or feel like themselves. Original Sleek Tightening Cream contains natural ingredients demonstrated to deter sagging for firmer skin. Read about this vegan-friendly formulation and our experience with Original Sleek Tightening Cream.

Vegan Skin Tightening Options

Vegan-friendly options for skin-tightening are limited.  

Most skin-tightening products contain animal based collagen. Plant-based collagen is less effective and requires other ingredients to get good results.

Original Sleek Tightening Cream combines:

  • plant-based collagen components (proline, amino acids, and peptides)
  • two deep penetrating forms of hyaluronic acid
  • Plantago Lanceolata Leaf extract

This combination of ingredients makes for a powerful trifecta against skin sagging. 

But what is Plantago Lanceolata Leaf?

 

What is Plantago Lanceolata Leaf Extract?

Plantago Lanceolata Leaf Extract is also know as narrow-leaf plantain or ribwort.

Plantago Lanceolata Leaf Extract is a low-growing perennial weed. It is rich in Allantoin, a powerful skin soothing agent that encourages cell growth.[1] It is a wound healing herbal agent in traditional medicine which has anti-inflammatory, anti-irritant, tissue regeneration, astringent, and antioxidant, effects.[2]

How does it help skin sagging?

Plantago Lanceolata Leaf Extract helps maintain the structure of the support network of adipocytes in the face, such as the facial contours like a firm defined jawline and taut cheekbones.

It limits the natural loss of lipids within adipose tissue which occurs as we age. This loss of adipose tissue density makes skin deflate and then sag.

In addition to Plantago Lanceolata Leaf, Original Sleek Tightening Cream contains helpful supporting ingredients. Let’s take a look:

 

Key Ingredients

Ginger Skincare Benefits

This seaweed is rich in beta-carotene, antioxidants zeaxanthin and lutein which protect skin from blue light (such as from smartphones).

It contains natural peptides and amino acids to keep skin hydrated by locking in moisture. Carrageenan provides defense against environmental stressors.

The Experience

PACKAGING

We like the one-pump dispenser design to keep the product fresh. There is a small plug for the dispenser nozzle to keep the product as air tight as possible. One pump of cream is enough for throat, hands or face.

It comes in opaque packaging with an airtight dispenser nozzle

 

PRODUCT

  • Color: white, creamy
  • Consistency: It is a dense texture, it starts a bit tacky and takes a bit to dry down, but then is smooth.
  • Scent: There is a slight scent upon application, dissipates upon dry down.
  • Experience: Makeup or lotion does not pill on top.
Original Sleek Tightening Cream

Original Sleek Tightening Cream Swatch: a slightly tacky white opaque cream

RESULTS

Most tightening creams leave an opaque film on the skin, this is transparent, so can be worn without makeup on top.

It is excellent for use on hands and throat to reduce age spots, firm and hydrate.

I particularly like how it works on my hands.  A regular lotion may make my hands look and feel soft, but doesn’t help signs of aging. Original Sleek Tightening Cream works great on my aged, discolored and wrinkly knuckles are now looking plump and younger.

Get your glow on with Ready to Glow

Ready to Glow gives a soft, supple look and feel to skin

Ready to Glow gives a soft, supple look and feel to skin

The Experience

One pump is enough for face and throat. Nicely emollient on my chapped lips. There is a very light, pleasant scent of fresh plums, perhaps a hint of apricot.

It absorbs and leaves a finish more like a cream than an oil, I am not greasy at all.  Sunscreen and makeup can be applied immediately without piling or running. Mixing a few drops of Ready to Glow with my foundation gives a soft, luminous look.

While intended for face AND body, there is such good ingredients, we use it primarily on face, throat and décolletage. It also works well on hands and dry cuticles. It absorbs exceptionally well. It is drier than hemi-squalene oil, so if you chose to use it on body and legs, you would not have to wait to dry down before getting dressed.

My skin looks supple after use, not “wet”.

TIP: Try it with your Gua Sha tools, it gives the perfect slip!

Haruharu Wonder Honey Green Brilliant Cream

· Leave a Comment

Haruharu Wonder Honey Green Brilliant Cream is a lightweight gel like cream that absorbs quickly with no tacky dry down.  It is lightweight enough for day use but packs the ingredients of a decadent treating night cream, including several synergistic fermented ingredients that promote collagen synthesis.

Haruharu Wonder Honey Green Brilliant Cream

Haruharu Wonder Honey Green Brilliant Cream decanted onto their custom spatula.

Why HaruHaru Wonder is Special

This Clean Beauty brand boasts 95% natural origin ingredients, including the highly effective Camellia Japonica is also known as Japanese Camellia or tsubaki.  It is the authentic Japanese Camellia seen in brands like Tatcha and SK-II.

It is chemical free, paraben free and cruelty free.

HaruHaru Wonder counteracts environmental stressors, brightens the skin and leaves it dewy and soft. This is done, in part, by the K-Beauty method of using fermented ingredients.

Fermented ingredients such as fermented green tea and Saccharomyces Ferment both protect the skin and rejuvenate. Fermented ingredients also enable better ingredient absorption as they break down ingredient molecules into smaller molecules easier for the skin to absorb. In this regard, Saccharomyces Ferment is a superstar.

Check out this ingredient lineup:

Key Ingredients

Flowering Camellia Sinensis

Flowering Camellia Sinensis AKA Green Tea

 

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Camelia Sinensis is the leaves of green and white tea. It is gentle yet powerful. This green tea is fermented for extra skincare benefits.

It contains phenols and EGCG which evens the skin tone, and is an anti-inflammatory antioxidant. It reduces redness and inflammation around the delicate eye area.

EGCG enables the production of new cells in the epidermis [1] . It contains phenols to strengthen collagen and elastin. This gives skin a bouncy, younger look while delaying wrinkles.

 

Honey

Honey is a natural antibacterial and moisturizing humectant.

Raw honey is a gentle spot acne treatment and anti-aging antioxidant. Honey is a pore clarifier and a moisturizer.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide is a Vitamin B3 derivative.

An effective brightening and lightening tool all own its’ own, when paired with Vitamin K results in brighter and firmer skin. It decreases sebum production, [4]  fine lines and enlarged pores. It inhibits melanin production in hyperpigmentation. [5]

Niacinamide reduces the impact of environmental damage because it improves skin’s barrier and Ceramide levels [6] .

Saccharomyces Ferment

A moisturizing, skin- soothing, nutrient rich yeast ferment that stimulates cell renewal with amino acids and peptides. It is well tolerated even by sensitive skin types.

Saccharomyces Ferment is a probiotic yeast obtained by fermentation. It is considered a postbiotic. [10]

Fermentation increases nutrient density like a skincare ingredient “power level up”.  In Saccharomyces Ferment, it adds nutrients to a formulation as it produces amino acids and peptides. Amino acids and peptides can be easily absorbed by the skin to promote collagen synthesis and nourish our skin cells.

Saccharomyces lysate extract neutralizes toxins such as trace heavy metals and pesticides. [11]

It increases oxygen flow to skin cells. The better the oxygen flow and consumption, the better vital skin components such as collagen and elastin are maintained.

 

Lactobacillus Ferment

A probiotic to maintain the microbiome for a healthy skin barrier, reducing skin issues such as acne.

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic Acid retains moisture and increases the effectiveness of other ingredients.

Hyaluronic acid holds its’ weight in moisturizer, plumping the skin, making fine wrinkles and mild sagging disappear temporarily. It also drives active ingredients to deep skin layers for better results.

Beta-Glucan comes from oats

Beta-Glucan

Derived from oat, Beta-Glucan is a polysaccharide sugar derived from yeast or oats. It is an antioxidant and skin-soother especially helpful for calming red, irritated skin.

Glycerin

Glycerin is a natural vegetable-derived humectant. Glycerin helps the skin to retain moisture.

Glycerin fills in gaps in dryer skin which makes skin look better and keeps the outer layer of the skin intact.

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Hydrogenated lecithin is a phospholipid that is produced by controlled hydrogenation of the skin-restoring ingredient lecithin.

Palmitic Acid

A fatty acid that is a natural emollient found in a variety of palms.  Helps skin retain moisture longer, and is particularly soothing to sensitive skin conditions such as eczema.

 

Glycine Soja (Soybean) Sterols

An emollient and an anti-oxidant. Soybeans are rich in Vitamin E which softens and reduces inflammation.

 

Jojoba Seeds

Jojoba Seeds

Simmondsia Chinensis

Jojoba Seed Oil removes impurities and flakes, reduces inflammation, and soothes skin. Jojoba oil is an emollient, made of 98% monounsaturated fats.

Jojoba gives elasticity and softness to the skin without causing acne or clogged pores.

Caprylyl Glycol

One of the “good” alcohols that binds to moisture.  A humectant.

Caprylyl Glycol is skin-conditioning. It is an alcohol derived from caprylic acid. Caprylic acid is a fatty acid found in milk, coconut and and palm oil

Tocopherol

Tocopherol is a form of Vitamin E derived from vegetable oils.  It is a moisturizing and skin softening antioxidant.

Olives benefits the skin

Cetearyl Olivate and Sorbitan Olivate both use the fatty acids of olives

Cetearyl Olivate

Cetearyl Olivate is a combination of the ester of Cetearyl Alcohol and the fatty acids from Olives.

It is not drying because Cetearyl Olivate is moisture attracting and retaining. Olive oil fatty acids have skin-enhancing Omega-3s and polyphenols. These make skin glow! Cetearyl Olivate will not clog pores.

Sorbitan Olivate

Sorbitan Olivate is a combination of the fatty acids of olives and a fruit-based sugar alcohol. It is commonly paired with Cetearyl Olivate to lend a creamy consistency. Quite moisturizing.

The Experience

We love how it counteracts the irritation of aHAs or Retinol without feeling greasy or sticky. It goes on well underneath sunscreen with no pilling. Not heavily scented. And it comes in a generously sized container with this adorable little scoop!

We have been using it for a long time and still can’t get over how effective and decadent it is!?

TIP: spread the cream out from the inside of the face outward and upward. After a moment, tap the skin lightly to enhance absorption.
