Anti-Aging Dream Cream

Who doesn't love a good anti-aging treatment? It's almost too good an offer to pass up when it doesn't break the bank, too. I'm happy to share a WONDERFUL lost-cost treatment for some serious wrinkle reduction. If you saw the post on Instagram, you might know what I'm referring to...

That treatment... No.7 Protect and Perfect Intense Advanced Serum! This stuff is no joke. I've been using this product for one entire month, just to make sure I'm actually seeing results. I'm happy to share that I  certainly have!! 

You can find this at Ulta!
My problem areas are my smile lines, and around my eyes. I have a few deeper set wrinkles, and some forming crows feet. This is all a natural part of life, of course - but I'd like to keep my skin as firm as possible for as long as possible. I also wanted to use the serum to try and prevent any other problem areas from forming. This stuff you guys... this stuff.

A little goes a long way. A dollop about the size of a nickel will meet your needs. The directions suggest applying twice a day - once in the morning after washing, and before moisturizer - and once at night in the same fashion. I've been following those exact steps since I bought the product. Naturally, as with any brand they recommend using their own moisturizer in the same line, but I didn't want to put too many new products on my skin at once. With the results I've seen thus far I'm wondering if using their moisturizer would make an even greater impact.

I didn't see immediate results with this, and didn't expect to. I did however start to see noticeable results at a little under two weeks. The results continuously improve too. I had very very very minor wrinkles on my forehead that are now completely gone. It looks like I've never had a crease on that part of my face. The wrinkles around my eyes have also DRASTICALLY improved. I've pretty much seen improvement on every part of my face that I've put this on.

There is a down side to this that I've experienced. The effects of this product don't seem to be too long term. As an experiment I stopped using the serum for almost a week. My skin hasn't retained that firmness as much as I would have hoped. I suppose that could be expected from a low cost serum like this, but I was really hoping that there would be more of a permanent effect. Maybe once the bottle is empty and I've had more time to use it, the effects will be more noticeable over time.

For the $30 I spent, this product was definitely worth the test. If you have minor fine lines and wrinkles, but don't want to break the bank I highly suggest this. This is also good for sensitive skin. I personally have very dry / sensitive skin and this didn't have any negative affect on me whatsoever. If you're just starting an anti aging regime - I would definitely suggest this as a jumping off point. It definitely gives results, and it certainly doesn't break the bank.
