Regen Ceutic Skin Recovery Cream Review

I love this time of year… the birds wake me up in the morning and it’s lovely to be able to feel the sun on my skin. My skin does not feel the same way. Change of season wreaks havoc on my skin as it is not sure if it wants to be oily or dry and it becomes super sensitive. Regen Ceutic Skin Recovery Cream by Dermaceutic has proved to be a miracle worker over the past couple of weeks.

Regen Ceutic is a cream that is recommended for sensitive skin and for use after superficial and medium peels to aid in the recovery process.

It contains an array of high performance ingredients:

  • 3% Peptides Complex: A synergy of 2 of the most efficient peptides, which stimulates collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin production to induce an anti-wrinkle effect from within.
  • 3% Hyaluronic Acid Gel which moisturises the skin and improves firmness.
  • Stabilized vitamin C & E which combats and limits the signs of photo-aging and has an anti-inflammatory action.
  • Shea butter to hydrate and nourish
  • Leontopodium which has a soothing effect on the skin

In short, this cream is said to soothe, lift, nourish and firm.

I haven’t been using it for long enough to really comment on the anti-ageing effects of this product, but I highly recommend it to anyone who has sensitive skin. My skin immediately feels nourished and calmed when I apply it and it works wonderfully at combating any redness. My skin soaks it up and instantly feels smooth and supple. I was a bit worried that the cream may be very heavy (as that has been my experience with other ‘after-peel’ moisturisers), but it is extremely light-weight. This makes it ideal for all skin types. The only negative for me was that it on some days it proved to be a bit too light-weight. On those days I would just add an extra moisture boost. Dermaceutic also gets bonus points for not adding any fragrance, the simple yet elegant packaging and, most importantly, it comes in a airless pump bottle.

RRP R535.

Naturals Beauty is a thing of beauty!

Facial oils are a necessity during the colder months, especially if you have dry skin or you feel you need a little assistance in the anti-ageing department. I have two oils that I love, but when I read about the Sweet Orange Wrinkle Banisher from Naturals Beauty I had to get it ASAP.

With my purchase the lovely Tanya from Naturals Beauty also included the Avocado Night Treatment and a Lip Balm for me to try out.

The Sweet Orange Wrinkle Banisher is my new favourite oil. It contains ingredients that soften and moisturise the skin, eliminates toxins, supports collagen formation and it contains AHA to rejuvenate. The orange scent of this oil is just fantastic and immediately makes you feel pampered. It’s just lovely. The oil feels a little thicker than my other oils, but it still absorbs completely. My skin feels soft and pampered when I apply this oil. My face is left with a radiant glow that is noticeable on application and the next morning. The directions say to apply the oil to the areas around the eyes and mouth (to target the areas that usually start to show signs of ageing first), but I also like to apply it to my whole face and neck when my skin feels particularly dry and dull and it needs a little extra TLC. I will most definitely buy this product again. R55 for 10ml.

Tanya warned me that the Avocado Night Treatment is very rich and is suitable for more mature skin, but I am so glad I tried it. It is an amazing cream and perfect when my skin needs an extra boost of moisture and more TLC than usual. My skin goes from slightly (sometimes more) oily in summer to very sensitive and dehydrated with dry patches in winter. This cream contains avocado oil which assists in the regeneration and rejuvenation of the skin. It will assist in healing sun damage, scars and reduce age spots. It also contains geranium oil that has antiseptic, refreshing and astringent qualities which will help to balance oil (sebum) production in the skin. Even though this cream is very rich, my skin absorbs it beautifully and I love it. I have also been using it on my hands and it is a brilliant treat for dry, sensitive and even eczema-prone skin. I love applying it to my hands just before going to bed. I will definitely buy this cream for myself. R55 for 50ml.

Another little treat was the lip balm. To be honest, I wasn’t too excited to try it as a lot of natural lip balms just don’t do it for me. Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner! The balm is beautifully scented, light on the lips but very moisturising. Lovely. R20 for 10ml.

During the time I tried the above products, I remembered that I had a milk cleanser sample that I received at a BloggersWhoBless meet earlier in the year. It was still very hot then so I was happy with my foaming cleansers that I was using at the time.

The cleanser is thick, creamy and gentle. I have been using it as a cleanser in the morning and I love it. It cleanses well without stripping my skin. My skin feels smooth, soft and clean after use. I highly recommend it. R80 for 125ml.

I am so impressed with Naturals Beauty. The products are of superb quality and you can be assured that it doesn’t contain any ‘nasties’. The packaging is also pretty and the products are very affordable.

Naturals Beauty gets two thumbs up! I can’t wait to try more from this brand. The baby range also looks brilliant. Visit their FB page to check out the special on the baby range that is running this month.

Naturals Beauty can be very proud of the brand and products they have created.
