Leave-on Sleeping Mask of your Dreams!

Dr. Brandt wins again with this super refined, incredibly elegant overnight solution…the HYDRO BIOTIC Recovery Sleeping Mask!

💚 Exceptionally light gel cream

💚 Strengthens skin barrier

💚 Reduces redness & calms irritation

💚 Proprietary Biotic Balancing Complex features pre & postbiotics to help balance the skin’s naturally-occurring microbiota.

MY EXPERIENCE:

My dry skin adores this soothing, cooling gel cream because it so capably locks in moisture. When I awake, my skin is super hydrated & glowing. Created for all skin types, it is especially helpful to dry and/or dehydrated skin.

This incredibly unique formula glides on like a  dream with a subtle hint of lavender & Rose. While I massage in it starts to transform into a delightful oil-like texture that completely absorbs and leaves my skin feeling amazingly soft, smooth & hydrated…

This beautifully crafted leave-on mask works perfectly over my toners, serums & Retinols, as the last step in my nighttime skincare routine.

Dr. Brandt's No More Baggage eye gel is a Must Have!

Needles No More “No More Baggage” eye de-puffing gel from Dr. Brandt Skincare! [gifted]

What is it, what does it do?

▪️Lightweight under eye gel cream

▪️Tightens & smooths 

▪️Depuffs the look of under eye bags

▪️Brightens the look of dark circles 

How does it work?

▪️By utilizing an innovative Filmatrix Technology...This skincare tech consists of algae and the extract of a South American shrub which creates an invisible “second-skin” film to tighten the under eye area for almost instantaneously smoothed skin!

Who should use it?

▪️Those of us looking to improve under eye bags, puffiness and dark circles.

Retail cost:

▪️Dr. Brandt creates Dermaceutical skincare products backed by cutting edge science and the price point reflects that. This innovative eye de-puffing gel costs US $42.00 for .5 oz

My experience:

▪️This has a lightly tinted, peach toned color which combats the blue tones often prominent in those pesky dark circles. This actually acts as a very nice non-concealer concealer. I can just wear this or layer on my fave under eye illuminator plus concealer.

▪️I find the consistency to be sorta semi-dry gel that’s quick to absorb so I like to layer it over a rich eye cream and sometimes add that same cream on top as a moisture seal.

▪️The peptides, caffeine and Japanese knotweed in this formula help my under eye contour achieve a smoother look and definitely reduce puffiness!

▪️I’m happy to report that this does not sting or burn my eyes!

My tips for best results:

▪️Since I have dry skin, I like to apply this after using my favorite moisturizing eye cream. I let it soak in then add a small dot of this de-puffing gel to the palm of my hand. With my ring finger I warm up the gel a bit by rubbing into my palm and then very gently tap directly onto under eye bags and puffy areas.

Thanks so much to @drbrandt for sending this to me... I’m so pleased to be able to share all the information with you! *kindly gifted by brand!

Dr B Primer

Get Primed! I’m talking Primers today featuring my Pore Refiner Primer sent over from Dr. Brandt Skincare...

The Pores No More Pore Refiner Primer is a definitive cult-favorite which combines a pore refiner with a makeup primer! Created for all skin types - but since it was designed to mattify and control shine with oil absorbing spheres, I use mostly on my t-zone as I have very dry skin.

I would definitely highly recommend for normal to oily skin types who I think would really love this one!

Velvety texture ✔️

Peachy-tan color ✔️

Fragrance-free ✔️

Lightweight, silky ✔️

Smooth, flawless finish ✔️

Reduces pore size & improve skin texture ✔️

Can be worn alone & as a quick fix throughout the day ✔️

Dermatologist & Clinically Tested ✔️

US $45.00 for 1 fl/oz. ✔️

Instant gratification - I love that this primer provides immediate help in reducing the appearance of the pores all over my t-zone! And, better yet, over time I’ve noticed that my pores are less visible as this is also a skin treatment featuring ingredients like Salicylic Acid, Red Clover Flower Extract & Tea Tree Oil (I love this stuff!) to clean, unclog + shrink my pores! Yay!

👉 My Tip: This creates the perfect canvas for makeup but I really adore how it looks all by itself, so I use as the very last step in my morning routine.

* FYI: you can find a mini size of this gorgeous primer at Sephora for $22.00 

Thanks again to Dr. Brandt for kindly gifting this to me!

Do you use makeup primers??

Dr B Sun Shield

New Product Launch from Dr. Brandt Skincare 

Today I’m celebrating the recent launch of Liquid Sun Shield from the one and only Dr. Brandt!

They sent me their new SPF 50 Daily Brightening Sunscreen

to try out and I’m so glad they did! 

For me, I’ve struggled to find a mineral sunscreen (AKA Physical screen that deflects the suns rays) which wasn’t white, thick & sticky, so difficult to absorb with a kinda gunky finish...

So, this 100% mineral sunscreen was a pleasant surprise- it’s a new type of sunscreen for me because it’s a lovely, lightweight, milky serum consistency that’s not at all greasy or sticky and provides a totally invisible finish. I think the finish is my favorite part - so soft and almost a powdered satin finish if that makes sense.

Some details:

☀️ Lightweight 

☀️ 100% mineral (non-nano Zinc Oxide)

☀️ Provides broad spectrum UVA & UVB, HEV/Blue Light, infrared radiation and pollution protection!! WOW

☀️ Promotes radiance with Clary Sage ferment, a natural ingredient 

☀️ Protects against further discoloration, damage & photoaging!

Packed with great ingredients in a very elegant formula, this one is a splurge for those of us on a budget but sunscreen is definitely an ideal category worth the indulgence! I find that the Liquid Sun Shield is ideal for daily use for inside or just out & about, then for longer term outdoors activities switch to an active wear sunscreen which will make both last longer 😁😁 Of course, I field-tested this sunscreen on a hike and it performed perfectly, did not burn my eyes & protected my fair/quick to sunburn skin! A total WIN!

Thanks Dr Brandt for kindly sending this to me! [Gifted/PR]

Dr. Brandt Product Review: Serum

C-Scription Brightening Serum from Dr. Brandt Skincare: Full Product Review!

I’ve been on a mission to achieve smoother skin, reduce wrinkles & fine lines while also brightening my complexion...so when I received the C-Scription serum from Dr. Brandt I knew it was a match made in heaven - exactly what I was looking for!

What I really love about this Vitamin C serum is the uniquely creamy + moisturizing, non-sticky & non-irritating formula so different from all the other Vit C serums I’ve used. It was created to brighten, smooth & firm - just what I wanted!

And... it’s clinically studied, tested & proven to be effective, offering meaningful results...

🌟25% active ingredients

🌟Fast Absorbing 

🌟Ultra-concentrated

🌟Brightens Skin Tone

🌟Fades Dark Spots

🌟Boosts Collagen

🌟Protects against Free Radicals

🌟The Gold Standard of Vitamin C

Clinical info: this serum was expertly formulated with 20% TSD Ascorbate for potentially less irritation to your skin. It’s proven to also be more potent than L-ascorbic acid because it penetrates deeper into the skin!

I use this highly effective serum in both my morning & evening routines and thrilled to report that my skin is looking much firmer & feels so smooth!

Thanks so much to Dr. Brandt for kindly sending me this amazing product to try! *Gifted

Dr. Brandt Product Review

Let me introduce The Microdermabrasion Age Defying Exfoliator from Dr. Brandt  #Gifted

Dr. Brandt calls this an “Age-defying Exfoliator, with a Heart” ❤️ because for every unit sold $1.00 will be donated to support mental health programs via the Dr. Brandt Foundation

If you love physical exfoliating then you will absolutely fall head over heels for this pro-level microdermabrasion exfoliator! It’s a lightweight cream which targets texture, lines & wrinkles, and uneven skin tone. This cult-favorite exfoliator combines pro-grade aluminum oxide crystals + lactic acid to polish, remove dead skin cells and soften skin! 

Since this offers such a deep exfoliating formula, I recommend (especially for sensitive skin) that you use no more than 1x per week on damp skin using a very cautiously gentle, methodically slow massage.  After each use, I’ve definitely experienced impressively radiant skin that’s truly baby soft. I follow up this treatment with an array of gentle, soothing & calming products but no acids or Retinols, etc.

❤️My Tip: use this on the back of your hands, gently massage in with slow circular motions to reveal super soft skin.

Thanks so much to Dr. Brandt for kindly sending me this amazing product to try!

Dr Brandt - Needles No More!

Needles No More - Wrinkle Smoothing Cream from Dr. Brandt

I’m so excited to share with you my experience with this wrinkle smoothing cream. As someone who has acquired a nice bit of wisdom on her face ☺️ and is actively focused on healthy, positive aging...I’m so encouraged by brands like Dr. Brandt who have delved into science-backed products and at-home topical solutions that mirror the effects of wrinkle relaxing injectables! 

I’ve always been completely happy with my expressive face and would not want to take back the years of joy & happiness reflected there - but recently I’ve noticed the the expression lines between my brows have started to appear as if frowning...

Enter this fabulous bottle of Needles No More - a lightweight cream that smooths out expression lines & wrinkles by utilizing Neuropeptides to deliver skin-relaxing ingredients where most needed - for me that’s the dreaded “11’s”!!

Noteworthy ingredients:

🌟Tri-blend of neuropeptides, magnesium & adenosine - to soften & relax.

🌟Glycolic & Lactic Acid - to reduce fine lines, promote brightness & stimulate collagen.

🌟Lavender & Chamomile Oils - offer antioxidant, anti-inflammatory properties.

The way this cream smooths out the wrinkles between my brows has really increased my confidence, giving me that little boost I needed! I enjoy the light lavender scent & subtle cooling effect. I particularly enjoy the noticeable results & know that with continued use, this cream will help defend against future lines.

🌟🌟 Needles No More is ideal for targeting forehead wrinkles, frown lines & crows feet! Made for all skin types.

I’m so thankful to have the opportunity to try this genius product, kindly sent to me from Dr. Brandt... and so thrilled to be able to share it with all of you!

xoxo -Kate
