Jurlique

Okay, now that my Strivectin chapter is closed, I decided to move on to a product by Jurlique. I received a blog about how the algae in some Jurlique products is supposed to be just as good or similar to Retinol, minus the irritation.  So, I decided to give it a shot and I purchased the Purely Age-Defying Facial Serum. I have just started using this product today, so no results to post yet, but the product is light and has little to no smell.  The product was $75.00, purchased at Sephora.  On Sephora's website, it states that the active ingredient is Blue Algae, "Blue Algae Extract: Helps firm skin like a natural retinoid without any of the irritation or sensitivity usually associated with retinols; this pure, additive-free active naturally boosts elasticity." I am very intrigued and will post my results in a few weeks, or as soon as I see change. 


Update: I have been using this product for awhile now, and I have not seen any significant change in my skin tone or wrinkles.  It is good to use as just a moisturizer if you have oily skin.  I would like to try another product from this brand though and see how it does.
