Venox

 

What is Venox?

Venox is an advanced blend of age-defying ingredients formulated to provide the ultimate skincare experience without cosmetic surgery. Since Venox is infused with Botox®-like SYN-AKE® peptides, it helps reduce muscle cell contractions to promote smoother skin while decreasing the visibility of surface wrinkles. Effective as both a short- and long-term solution, results become more and more apparent with continued use.

SYN®-AKE, a manmade version of viper venom helps to gently relax facial muscles and ultimately diminish the appearance of even deeper lines and wrinkles, while helping to prevent knew creases from forming. This effect is similar to Botox®, but without the potential side effects, pain, or bank account drainage.

Other ingredients help mimic the effects of collagen injections and other dermal fillers. SYN®-TC is formulated to help increase the formation of stable, healthy collagen that can help beautify and support skin for a firmer, more youthful look and feel. SYN®-TC even contains Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, a peptide whose collagen-stimulating abilities are so powerful, they can help contribute to a “filler effect” that could replace injectable fillers.

How does Venox work?

Much like Botox®, Venox smoothes skin by hindering the muscle contractions that create lines and creases – without the injection. Four powerful ingredients make this possible:

  • SYN-AKE®, a synthetic snake venom that inhibits wrinkle-causing muscle contractions while increasing skin elasticity;
  • Aloe Leaf Extract, which contains several antioxidants that help replenish aging skin’s moisture and improve its natural firmness;
  • Palmitoyl Peptides which aid in activating the synthesis of skin-plumping collagen;
  • Extracts from the Ginkgo Biloba Tree which contain antioxidants that help slow down the aging process by protecting against free radicals.

But SYN-AKE® isn’t the only reason Venox is an excellent anti-aging product. Venox combines the strongest anti-aging and skin-protecting ingredients available to deliver maximum results. These peptides and compounds work together to create a visible result that is dramatically superior to using any of its ingredients individually. In addition, since the advanced technology in Venox helps to boost collagen levels, fill in wrinkles, and improve skin elasticity over the long term, these dramatic results will last instead of fading at the end of the day like less advanced products.

 

KORRES WILD ROSE FACE AND EYE SERUM

September 4, 2014

Korres Wild Rose Serum

 

I have been pretty obsessed with KORRES since it hit big on the scene here several years back.  The line just gets better and better with every new product debut.  The Wild Rose Face and Eye serum has been my morning go-to since receiving it a few weeks back, and I am loving the serum, over thicker creams, for my “around the eye” nutrition.  What’s great is that you can just sort of rub it all over your face as well.  Unlike other serums which can leave you feeling sticky or like you have glue on your face, this is weightless.  It also doesn’t cause whatever you put over it, to ball up or flake off.

What it is:
An ultra-concentrated vitamin C face and eye serum that is clinically proven to brighten skin, smooth the look of fine lines, and improve skin texture. 

What it is formulated to do:
Brighten skin, smooth fine lines, and even the skin texture with this potent natural serum. Ultra-concentrated vitamin C found in wild rose helps to repair skin discolorations while boosting skin’s brightness and radiance. Baobab tree extract, in combination with a wheat proteins agent, provides an instant firming and line-smoothing effect and has been clinically proven to considerably reduce the number, depth, and length of wrinkles. 

What it is formulated WITHOUT:
– Parabens
– Sulfates 
– Phthalates 

What else you need to know:
This product is dermatologist tested and free of mineral oil, silicone, propylene glycol, and ethanolamine. For optimal results, follow with your favorite moisturizer. 

Research results:
Clinically proven results after 60 days: 
– 100% of women showed improved skin brightness and radiance 
– 100% of women showed improved skin smoothness

With roots in the oldest homeopathic pharmacy in Athens, Greece, Korres is committed to developing natural skincare, color, and body products that provide maximum results. Their formulations are among the most environmentally friendly and skin compatible available today, utilizing active natural extracts with antioxidant and skin-transforming benefits for clinically proven results.
