Alegenist Concentrated Reconstructing Serum

Alegenist, a Alguronic Acid* based line of anti-aging skincare packs a serious punch. 

The line, developed by a team of biotechnologists from San Fran is loaded with the acid that does so many good things, it's like the Mother Teresa of ingredients (read below!). When I tested the Concentrated Reconstructing Serum, I did my very best to stick solely to the serum for a few weeks to test out its claims of brilliance with as much purity as possible.

I found that I needed a moisturizer on top of the serum to infuse my skin with some much needed moisture. It's chilly here in L.A. (what 70 degrees? Brrr!!) and my skin is as dry as ever. So, I mixed up my daily moisturizer from brand to brand to see how the serum did under my usual routine of, well, mixing it up. I will say, that besides a little boost of Xeomin two weeks ago and a brilliant Lamprobe session with Tina K or Belle Visage, my skin does look and feel taught, very radiant and a bit softer in the wrinkle dept. I imagine it's a combo of all these things and the Alegenist Alguronic Acid doing its thang.

I am psyched to keep going with my serum until I use every last drop and I think I will order (asap!) the  Regenerative Anti-Aging Moisturizer SPF 20 to apply on top of it to get the full one two punch from the product, as they suggest.  

I'm inspired!! 

*Alguronic Acid® is the tradename for a never-before-seen biotechnology discovery from a team of scientists in San Francisco. Alguronic Acid is a powerful regenerative compound produced by a specific and unique strain of microalgae that functions to protect and regenerate the single-celled organism in the harshest environments and conditions on the planet.

Tested for its potential anti-aging skin benefits, Alguronic Acid demonstrated the ability to significantly increase cell regeneration and renewal as well as elastin synthesis.  Furthermore, when applied to skin tissue models, Alguronic Acid demonstrated a significant inhibition of melanin production and significant protection from UV cell damage and DNA damage.
