This Week’s Fave: RE9 Intensive Renewal Serum

Published by Grace | Filed under Arbonne

OMG I love this! I have to admit that when I used the NutriminC Serum, my skin did break out, so I stopped using it. Then one day, after noticing how much some of my acne scars had really bothered me, I started to use the new RE9 Advanced Intensive Renewal Serum. I had much better results this time. I used just the smallest amount on my chin where some of my stubborn acne had left a few scars. I was shocked at how smooth that part of my face felt, and how the little acne scar bumps started to minimize. So then I started to use small amounts on the rest of my face, and now I’m noticing smaller pores and more even skin texture.

Because it is exactly what it’s named, intense, I switched from morning/night use to just every other night use, and sparingly at that. The renewal serum is eager to dig into your skin and drudge up anything that doesn’t belong there, so if you have oily skin, DO NOT use twice a day. Just use a little bit every other night (or even just a couple times a week) where you feel you need some tightening and lightening, and then work your way up to every night and go from there. This is actually great for acne because of the Salicylic Acid in it, but like any other product for acne prone skin, you have to build up your skin’s tolerance to its intensity. Its initial reaction will be to make your skin oilier, and we don’t want that.

The only thing is that the dark spots left behind from acne are taking a while to go away, so I just started using the Revelage Age Spot Minimizer to treat that. The serum has done great things, it’s just the scars that leave me looking like I still have lots of acne when I’m not wearing makeup. I’ve got high hopes that the Age Spot Minimizer will be my next fave
