Have you seen the commercials with SJP and that squishy ball?? I have and it really made me want to give this a whirl. Not only because I am constantly on the lookout for innovative skin care solutions that are affordable. Garnier Ultra-Lift Pro Wrinkle Roller is innovative in that it is packaged in a roll on type apparatus (kinda like roll-on deodorant). This serum (which is a great one, especially by drugstore standards) is made more interesting primarily because of the delivery method. You roll it on your face…cool right? I actually used my fingers a bit because obviously the ball can’t get everywhere, but it was only to spread the product around.
The main ingredient in the serum is Pro-Xylane which is known to rebuild the structure of your skin by increasing the moisture level (plumping it). The other inclusion that is great are Omega 3+6 fatty acids and vitamin A (these are both excellent for the health and defense of the skin) not many brands are using these at the moment, so to have it in a drugstore brand is kind of awesome.
Now is this a magic wand? Certainly not BUT it is an excellent and affordable serum that is a great preventative step in your skin care regimen. Garnier Ultra-Lift Pro Wrinkle Roller retails for $16.99 for a 1.7 ounce roller and is available at major drustore and supermarket retailers nationwide and drugstore.com.

I just turned 45 and have started to get wrinkles around my eyes and forhead from squinting.
Right now I am only using the MADE FROM EARTH – VITAMIN ENHANCED FACE FIRMING SERUM three times a week and my forehead seems so much better already after about a month.
However,I purchased the Face Firming Serum a while back and didn’t use it faithfully and only started using it a lot about a month ago because of some really bad acne I got from using avon ultimate cream. So I stoped using those and currently use ONLY the Made from Earth face serum and a which is really helping to fade the acne scars all over my cheeks and chin from scratching. And this is not causing me to breakout.
A little goes a long way. I’m pretty sure it’s pharmaceutical grade. It does not have a noticable frangrance and is absorbed quickly and not sticky. It’s not a very moisturizing item but I don’t use a moisturizer after but my skin is not really dry.
I found them cheaper online that in the Whole Foods supermarket – even with the shipping cost its cheaper online. .you can find them at http://www.madefromearth.com
