i’ve been giving my skin a little break from using retin-a so i’m using this time to give a few new products a try! the first one is nuxe’s nuxellence jeunesse youth & radiance revealing anti-aging fluid. birchbox offered to send me this product to review and OF COURSE i said yes! “youth & radiance” AND “anti-aging” in the name? SIGN.ME.UP. i’ve been using it for four days now and have to say…so far….it is pretty fabulous. it’s one of those creams that feels so great on (and by that i mean you can’t feel it at all) and instantly leaves your skin looking smoother. as i’ve mentioned before, i have a very oily t-zone so sometimes a product will just be too heavy/thick to wear under makeup. this cream is VERY light and soaks right into your skin. i’ve worn it alone as well as with my normal cerave moisturizer on top of it. i usually use specific products for problem areas (like all of my eye serums/creams) but this is an all over treatment (face & neck). i’m really looking forward to seeing what the long term benefits are for me. oh, and for some reason i find the twist/up down pump really fun to use. no loss of product or drying out! have you tried any of the nuxe products? i’d love to hear your thoughts!

according to a study conducted by researchers at nuxe, day after day, our skin cells de-charge themselves. to function properly and produce all elements essential to the skin, they need energy. this is where nuxe’s nuxellence jeunesse comes in. this new hero product helps re-charge and rejuvenate the skin with extracts from three flowers – passion flower, anchusa and poppy. these three flower extracts help protect and repair skin cells, helping to diminish and smooth wrinkles and fine lines, and restore the skin’s plump appearance. by using this product after your cleanser and before your regular moisturizer, you can expect to see results after only 28 days. 

the nuxe nuxellence jeunusse youth & radiance anti-aging fluid is coming to the birchbox store soon! in the meantime, please feel free to visit  http://us.nuxe.com/en to learn more. you can also shop nuxe products in the birchbox store here.

*as i mentioned previously, birchbox provided me with a sample of nuxe nuxellence jeunesse. all opinions are my own. oh, and don’t mind the age spots on my wrinkly old hand in the pic up there. clearly i need a cream for that too. =)
