As a confirmed skincare enthusiast, I have a ridiculously large stash of
potions and lotions- and there are a great many that seldom get reached
for. Each time I try a new product, I approach it with an open mind,
but I tend to temper my expectations with the reality that few products
really fulfill all of their promises made. That said, I was overwhelmed
with excitement when I began trying numerous products from Painted Earth
because the company seeks to produce healthier skincare and makeup
products in a time when the lion's share of mainstream cosmetics and
skincare companies maintain the status quo by utilizing so many
multisyllabic unpronounceable chemical compounds of questionable safety.
products are pure, natural, organic, non-animal tested and safe with
active ingredients. Painted Earth is a cruelty-free brand and is
committed to ending animal testing. We do not test our finished products
on animals, nor do we allow others to test on our behalf. Additionally,
we require our suppliers to certify that the raw materials used in the
manufacture of our products are not tested on animals.
Directions: Use dime sized amount for face, night and/or day depending
on the skin type. For optimal results, Painted Earth suggests using it
along with Vitamin C Wash, Vitamin C Serum and Vitamin C Eye Treatment.
My experience with Optimum 15% Vitamin C Face Lotion: After having used
this luxurious lotion exclusively for a month, I am very pleased to say
that I experienced no breakouts whatsoever. What I found somewhat
alarming was the fact that I saw results after just a single use, but of
course I needed to use it longer in order to determine whether the
results would be sustained, and/or cumulative. What I immediately
noticed was a healthy glow emerging. My skin seemed more vibrant,
stimulated, and healthy. To be fair, I have good skin that is healthy
and in good shape- partly genetic and partly the result of my commitment
to the consistent use of high quality skincare products. Nonetheless,
this potent Vitamin C rich cream clearly fulfills the promise made that
it "improves skin radiance and clarity, stimulates collagen
production..." This formula boasts tremendous antioxidant protection,
and when used in concert with a high SPF sunscreen it offers the skin a
very high level of protection against the the ravages of the
environment. After sustained use my skin continues to be vibrant with a
healthy glow, and there is a greater clarity and evenness of tone. This
is to say nothing of the fact that it delivers the perfect amount of
moisture to my combination skin that remains moist and hydrated
throughout the day. I honestly cannot think of a single negative thing
to say about this product. I love the simple packaging and the pump
dispenser guarantees to potency of ingredients- not to mention that it
keeps the lotion itself uncontaminated. This is a
really
spectacular face lotion (though it is a bit thicker than a very liquid
lotion and perhaps resides somewhere between a lotion and a cream), and
unquestionably rivals the efficacy of the high price tag luxury lotions
and creams that garner luxury price tags.
