Review: Acure day cream: gotu kola stem cell & Acure Night Cream

I was excited to be able to work with Acure Organics. They have SO many different NATURAL products that have so many health benefits, yet smell and WORK well too. I love how they researched every single product they make and insert the perfect ingredients to give the perfect results.

This is the standard that they make for each of their products:

  • Vegan
  • Paraben free
  • Sulfate free
  • Cruelty free
  • Gluten free
  • No Synthetic Fragrance
  • For normal to dry skin.

This time I want to tell you about the Acure Day Cream: Gotu Kola Stem Cell + 1% Chlorella growth factor and the Acure Night Cream: Argan Stem Cell + 1% Chlorella Growth Factor.

The Day Cream

So, I’ve been putting this on my face every single morning since this came in the mail. I’ve always had oily skin in some parts, while other parts can become dry in the winter. This was perfect for my skin because it helped with the dryness while not making my “oily” skin more oily. It was perfect.

I was absolutely delighted by the packaging. All their packaging is just SO unique. The designs on the box have the same designs on the outside with just about every single product they have, I love it.

I loved the smell and the texture of this day cream. It has such a light and refreshing scent. It goes on very smoothly and leaves my skin hydrated and  nourished. My skin is always so soft after using this, which can be very addicting. Winking smile

The best thing about it is that I needed something lightweight that wasn’t going to clog up my pores. I needed something that could easily be put underneath makeup. This helps with both. It’s lightly scented and refreshing, which is a huge change from overwhelming smells from a moisturizer.

This not only has helped my skin with texture problems, but it makes my skin seem more calm. It just has a balance now that wasn’t there before. My makeup doesn’t cake up or get too greasy, my skin is clean and clear.!

I LOVE this product! It works efficiently while also being vegan and containing absolutely no chemicals or anything harmful. My skin glows with perfection now, and I was absolutely astonished with the results.

I want to keep immaculate skin. I don’t want the signs of just pop up on me one day and wonder how it happened. I want to take a stand NOW before I get into my 30s and 40s and see crows feet, wrinkles, and fine lines. I love that this has ingredients to help with the aging process. To help maintain a fresh and beautiful complexion.

it features gotu kola stem cells to moisturize and 1% chlorella growth factor, along with specialized plant stem cells, probiotics, organic argan oil, olive leaf and CoQ10. CGF is clinically proven to protect collagen and elastin fibers from enzymes that destroy them.

BUY IT: You can buy the Acure Day Cream: Gotu Kola Stem Cell + 1% Chlorella growth factor  for $18.99 for 1 oz.

 

The Night Cream

This is nature’s miracle night treatment. My skin feels so rejuvenated when I wake up in the morning! This actually helps the skin’s natural repairing process and helps to firm and moisturize the skin in the process.

This actually feeds, improves, and mends the skin cells. My skin has been in need of some extra TLC here lately. With winter here my skin has definitely been begging me for more moisture. The cold and bitter winds have chapped and dried my skin out.

Since I’ve been using the Acure Night Cream my skin has definitely done a 180, Where my skin was beginning to dry out, I noticed immediate results in the moisturizing department. My skin just started feeling so nourished and healthy.

I love the packaging, the smell and texture of this as well. There is nothing like having beautiful bottles sitting on your vanity or nightstand just waiting for you to use. These are made with actual glass bottles, so it adds a sophistication and classiness that plastic will never give.

This also has a natural, beautiful smell that isn’t overwhelming. It immediately soaks into my skin. My skin devours and just drinks this in. I use it right before hitting the sheets, and wake up with clear moisturized skin.

The best thing about these items are that they are available at Whole Food Stores if you have one near you. I don’t, but I still think that these items are affordable because not very much is needed. A $20 bottle will last for a VERY long time, so you can think about how long it lasts rather than just the cost.

BUY IT: You can buy the Acure Night Cream: Argan Stem Cell + 1% Chlorella Growth Factor. for $19.99

Review: Acure Organics- Lemongrass + Argan stem cell Shampoo & Conditioner

image

I have tried many many different natural shampoo’s. Most of them didn’t really “clean” my hair. I’d wash it and then an hour later it would look like it had never been washed. Hardly any of them actually gave me a clean that I could handle.

I know it’s because I have naturally oily hair, but I want even a natural shampoo to clean my hair the way I want it. I had never really been happy with a natural shampoo because they didn’t lather up and make my hair feel “clean”.

The natural shampoos do not lather up nicely, they feel more like putting lotion on the hair. My hair was always easy to tangle WHY the shampoo was in my hair and after it was dry even if I wore conditioner. I wasn’t happy with natural shampoo’s until NOW.

Acure Organics have some amazing choices with natural shampoo’s and conditioners. I ended up getting a chance to review their Lemongrass + Argan Stem Cell Shampoo and Lemongrass + Acure Stem Cell Conditioner.

This is a clarifying shampoo that is safe for everyday use. If you aren’t sure what a clarifying shampoo does- it cleans the hair from all the build-up from hair products and conditioners. Hard water, mineral deposits, and even your other shampoo can also cause buildup. Clarifying shampoo strips the hair of all those unwanted products that build up on the hair leaving it lifeless, dull, and greasy.

Most clarifying shampoos can only be used once a month or maybe twice, not more. This is gentle enough to take on as an everyday shampoo. It’s also fine to use on color treated hair, which I have. I needed a clarifying product but not one that would wash my hair color out as well.

This really does leave my hair not only soft and manageable, but tangle-free and SO shiny. This takes it up a notch on the amazing level though, because of all the other “corresponding” ingredients.

Avocado Oil provides vitamin B12 and moisture. Organic Argan Oil Argan Stem Cells CoQ10 help support hair keratin and strengthen the follicle connection. The lemongrass cleanses and clarifies. So all of these ingredients work together to make an AMAZING smell and product! I LOVE it!

I love the refreshing, invigorating scent of lemongrass. I love that they have a quirky saying on the back with the directions “Feel free to belt out some horrible 80’s tune that you listen to when nobody’s around.”

The conditioner is very moisturizing and just adds to the silky shine that the shampoo gives me. It’s gentle enough that I can use it on my 3 year old daughter with no complaints. Winking smile

You can buy the Lemongrass + Argan Stem Cell Shampoo and Lemongrass + Acure Stem Cell Conditioner. for $10.99 each on the Acure website.

Review: Acure Organics- Argan Stem Cell + CoQ10 Dry Shampoo & Leave-in Conditioner

I was sent Acure Organics new Argan Stem Cell + CoQ10 Dry Shampoo  &  Argan Stem Cell Leave in Conditioner to try out for review.

The Dry Shampoo

I have horribly oily hair, so I am always trying to find something to kill the greasiness. I can wash it one day, and the VERY next day it is already oily and looking like it hasn’t been washed in a week. This dry shampoo is like an answered prayer for me.

I’ve tried other dry shampoo’s (the kind that you spray in) and I could NEVER get the white spots out.  No matter how far away I sprayed it from my hair, the whiteness would still be there.

WP_000559

That’s the reason I love that this is a powder. I can sprinkle as much or as little as I need into the palm of my hand, rub my hands together and apply it straight to my roots. I can do this to the sides, back, AND top of my hair without the white spots.

I love that it INSTANTLY soaks up the oil. The texture is very much like baby powder because it’s made with corn starch and french white clay. It doesn’t smell overpowering, too strong, or like I’m rubbing (spraying) lemon air freshener on my head.

This is the perfect sized bottle to slip in your purse and take with you to the office. All you have to do is sprinkle whatever amount you need into your hands, rub your hands together and rub into hair, and brush it out. Wa-lah. Instantly clean hair!

This is perfect for women AND men both. It’s all natural- so there aren’t any parabens, sulfates, gluten, sodium chloride, phthalate, or animal cruelty. So if you’re looking for a way to keep your hair looking FRESH and clean without having to shampoo it every single day (which can be harmful for the hair), I would definitely suggest that you try this!

Ingredients: Organic Corn Starch (non GMO), French White Clay (Kaolin), Oat Flour,  Slippery Elm Bark Flour, Argania spinosa (Argan) Stem Cells,Ubiquinone (CoQ10), Lavender essential oil, chamomile essential oil

BUY IT: You can buy the Argan Stem Cell + CoQ10 Dry Shampoo for only $12.99

 

Next up is the Argan Stem Cell Leave in Conditioner. My hair long, which requires some extra TLC. Thanks to the Blow-drying, dying, straightening, and curling- it has its share of damage. I love this leave-in conditioner because it helps heal the damaged bits of my hair without weighing it down and making it oily.

I just spray a little on my hands, and rub it through my hair (NOT my roots). It really moisturizes, hydrates, and nourishes those split ends, damaged strands, and reduces the frizz that usually comes after I’ve dried my hair!

My hair feels so much thicker, smoother, and there wasn’t even a hint of dryness. I have been spraying my hair every morning after getting out of the shower, and WOW- I LOVE it! It’s my new must HAVE leave-in! Usually leave-ins are too oily, but this is hydrating without the oiliness.

This helps strengthen the hair, so it’s not just hydrating the dry, damaged, split ends- it’s actually going STRAIGHT to the source of the problem. It smells amazing, and I give thanks to the acai berry, pomegranate, and blackberry that are in it. Nothing but gorgeous, great smelling hair from my end!

Ingredients: Organic Euterpe oleracea(Acai) Berry, Organic Rubus fruticosus(Blackberry), Organic Rosa canina(Rosehips), Organic Punica granatum(Pomegranate), Organic Fair Trade Certified™ Rooibos, Organic Aloe BarbadensisVera Leaf, vegetable glycerin, 100% natural betaine(from sugar beets), capric/caprylic triglycerides (fractionated cocos nucifera (coconut) oil),hydroxypropyl starch phosphate (from non-gmocorn starch),  d-panthenol (provitamin b5), sucroselaurate (from sugar & coconuts), fair-trade certified organic olea europaea (olive) fruit oil (extra virgin), ethyl lauroyl arginate (from natural amino acid), & natural sclerotiom gum (fermented sugar),Ubiquinone (CoQ10), spinosa (Argan) Stem Cell, Organic Argania spinosa (Argan) oil, Arganiaspinosa (Argan) Stem Cell Culture, CymbopogonSchoenanthus (Lemongrass), Lavendula Dentata(French Lavender), Evernia Prunastri(Oakmoss), & Rosmarinus Officinalis(Rosemary) Essential Oils
