My Thoughts:

I received the Asana Retinol Hyaluronic Acid Collagen Cream 4 Oz. which is a very generous size that comes in a convenient pump dispenser also. Lots of times for reviews I've received small sizes of products such as 1 or 2 ounces, so this was a real delight to see such a large bottle that will last.

When your skin get older you start to show signs of some lines and wrinkles, like I have a few of... needless to say. I love trying out new beauty products, moisturizers and creams to help me keep on top of them and look my best. 

The Asana Retinol Hyaluronic Acid Collagen Cream includes some effective ingredients such as Retinol, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C which are all known to be good for anti-aging. Here is a full list of the ingredients:

 Organic Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera), Organic Helianthus Annuus
Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A), Tocopheryl 
(Vitamin E), Hyaluronic Acid, Glyceryl Stearate,Cetyl Alcohol, Stearic Acid, Kosher 
Vegetable Glycerin, Organic Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba Oil), Wildcrafted Camellia 
Sinensis (Green Tea), Wildcrafted Resina Propoli (Propolis), Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea 
Butter), Panthenol (Vitamin B5), Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexyl Glycerin, Xanthan Gum, 
Citric Acid

I've only been using the product for a short time and love how easy it is to apply. I use a couple of pumps to cover my facial skin area and like how it absorbs into my skin well. The directions on the back of the bottle says to apply two to three pumps twice daily before moisturizer. Since this product has retinol in it you may have some tingling if you have sensitive skin; however I haven't had any stinging or bad reaction to it in the time I've used it. I like how it makes my skin soft and hopefully will help with a few wrinkles in the future with continued use.




Overall, I am delighted with the product and am happy and also that it is made in the USA in an FDA lab.

You can find this product on Amazon and at the Asana Beauty website here.

Retseliney Advanced Retinol Moisturizer + Advanced Retinol Serum ~ #Review

Retseliney Advanced Vegan Organic Retinol Moisturizer + Advanced Retinol Serum ~ #Review



I love using organic and natural products, especially when they are going onto my skin. Who wants to put nasty chemicals with names you can't pronounce on your body? Not me, that's for sure. I've become so much more aware of the ingredients in products and definitely want what's better for my body. 

 Reseliney Advanced Retinol Moisturizer

 Reseliney Advanced Retinol Moisturizer is a product that has a high 2.5% concentration of Retinol (Vitamin A). As you may or may not know, Retinol is helpful in reducing the appearance of those pesky wrinkles and fine lines that seem to crop up. I'm all for that, because I've noticed a few of these in the last few years and want to ward them off as much as I can.


Some of the other ingredients in this moisturizer are Vitamin E and Green Tea. These are great antioxidants and have been known to reduce cell damage and and fight free radicals. Vitamin B5, which is also called Panthenol has healing properties that aid with skin problems. There is also Shea Butter, which makes your skin softer and smoother. Thankfully, I really don't get blemishes much anymore, but found out that Retinol can also help with this problem. This happens by unclogging your pores and removing your dead skin. It's also effective for eczema if you happen to have a problem with that. 

Here is  a full list of the ingredients:

Organic Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera), Organic Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower Oil), Isopropyl Palmitate (Palm Oil), Pentylene Glycol, Phospholipids, Retinol, Polysorbate 20, Potassium Phosphate, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Cassia Angustifolia Seed Polysaccharide, Glyceryl Stearate,Cetyl Alcohol, Stearic Acid, Kosher Vegetable Glycerin, Organic Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba Oil), Wildcrafted Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea), Wildcrafted Resina Propoli (Propolis), Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Panthenol (Vitamin B5), Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexyl Glycerin, Xanthan Gum, Citric Acid, (97% Natural/71% Organic), Nut free formulation

I love the pretty pink and white pump container of the moisturizer. The pump dispenser makes it easy to apply the product and so much more sanitary than dipping your finger in a jar. The moisturizer is a light creamy texture and really sinks into my skin quickly. I didn't really notice any scent to it either,  just a nice clean moisturizer. I've used it a few days and have noticed a slight improvement in my skin already. My skin looks a bit brighter and my complexion is not as dull looking. It also helps to keep my skin soft and smoother.

If you're looking for a great organic and natural moisturizer that is chock full of good ingredients with then you'll want to try it out. You can also wear it under your makeup and on your neck and decollete area! Retseliney Advanced Retinol Moisturizer is reasonably priced for $21.00 on Amazon.


Retseliney Advanced Retinol Serum 

As with the Retseliney Advanced Retinol Moisturizer, the Advanced Retinol Serum is made with  premium organic and natural ingredient ingredients with no  parabens, fragrances or sulfates. It is also safe for any skin types.

The Advanced Retinol Serum includes Vitamins E, A and Green Tea, which altogether are a great combination of antioxidants. The Hyaluronic Acid Serum helps to keep your skin from drying out and keeps your skin hydrated and moisturized. Vitamin A stimulates collagen and also improves your skin's elasticity.  


As with the Retinol Moisturizer, the Retinol Serum comes in a pretty pink and white container. It also has a pump dispenser which again, is so convenient and easy to use. 

Here is  a full list of the ingredients:

Organic Aloe Barbardensis Leaf (Aloe Vera Extract), Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel), Cassia Angustifolia Seed Polysaccharide (Plant Based Hyaluronic Acid), Thioctic (R Lipoic Acid), Canola Oil, Pentylene Glycol, Phospholipids, Retinol, Polysorbate 20, Potassium Phosphate, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Santalum Album (Sandalwood Distillate), Glycolic Acid, Hydroxyethyl Cellulose, Carrageenan Gum, Wildcrafted Salix Lucida (Salicylic Acid/Willow Bark), Organic Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba Oil), Organic Centella Asiatica (Gotu Kola), Wildcrafted Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea), Wildcrafted Resina Propoli (Propolis), Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Ethylhexyl Glycerin, Organic Equisetum Arvense (Horsetail Plant Extract), Organic Pelagonium Gravoleons (Geranium Extract), Organic Taraxacum Officinale (Dandelion Extract), (98% Naturally Derived /72% Organic), 1% Retinol

To use the Advanced Retinol Serum all you do is apply a small amount to your cleansed face with your fingertips. You can also use it on your face and decollete area. It is a nice clear unscented serum which dries very quickly and doesn't leave any sticky residue on your skin. My skin just drinks it up and I love the feeling of it. It helps to make my face firmer and brighter. It is recommended to follow up with the Moisturizer after using the Serum.

Right now you can get the Retseliney Advanced Retinol Serum at Amazon for only $18.00, which is a very reasonable price.

 I love how by using both of these products they really make my skin look brighter, healthier and more even toned so far. It makes me feel good that I'm using some natural and organic quality products, and that don't have harmful toxins in them. They also can be used by women and men alike.

Oz Naturals Super Youth Retinol Moisturizer ~ Review

Disclosure: I received free sample in exchange for a product review. However, all opinions expressed here are my own and yours may differ.


Oz Naturals Super Youth Retinol Moisturizer ~ Review


I've said it before, but will say it again. When you get a little older you begin to notice changes in your skin, especially your face. Lines and wrinkles appear and you may get dark spots. Yes, it happens whether we admit it or not. I have tried a number of Oz Naturals products in the past and have always been pleased them. They have a great skin-care line that helps me look my best.

For my review I got to try out the Oz Naturals Super Youth Retinol Moisturizer. This moisturizer comes in a large 4 fluid ounce tube with a grey and white label. Lots of other products come in a small container with a high price so this is a big plus right away. 


The main ingredients that this moisturizer includes is 2.5% retinol , vegan hyaluronic acid serum, Vitamin E & Vitamin B5.  Since it contains retinol you should wear sunscreen during the day while using it. If it causes your skin to get dry, it's recommended to alternate days with a facial moisturizer without retinol. 
I've been using the moisturizer at night after cleansing my face. You only need a small amount to smooth over your entire face. The cream is a medium thickness and goes on nicely, It doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy but sinks in after a bit. It's been about a week now and am liking how my facial skin feels and looks. It helps keep my skin smooth, soft and brighter.

I like that there are no harmful parabens or sulfates in this cream. It also doesn't contain any dyes, fragrances or fillers. It's made in the USA in a FDA registered facility.
