Cosmedix Review & GIVEAWAY

Although I have never had many facial/skin problems as a teen I feel like I am not taking proper care of my skin now and it is showing. I have very small lines forming on my forehead and around my eyes.  My body is just not what it used to be after having three kids and I also have a lot of small stretch marks on my legs and a few on my sides. I was very excited when offered the chance to review some Cosmedix products.  I have wanted to find great skin products and my search is already over!! 

The first Cosmedix product I have been using is the body shape firming lotion.

A concentrated body-firming treatment suitable for all skin conditions, Body Shape utilizes astaxanthin—an antioxidant 500 times more powerful than vitamin E—in a powerful peptide-antioxidant blend to help tighten, smooth and repair sun-damaged and aging skin.

This product is part of the Body Revolution line which was developed to treat cellulite, stretch marks, signs of aging caused by sun damage and sensitive skin conditions.  This is an anti-aging product that is for more than your face. 

Although I have not been using this product for very long I really like it!  It is a decent sized bottle and as with all Cosmedix products, a little goes a long way.  This lotion rubs right in and leaves my skin feeling very smooth.

This product does not just create soft skin on the outside, it "creates a physiological change in the skin"

I also had the chance to try the pure enzymes exfoliating mask.

This gentle, exfoliating mask harnesses the natural power of cranberry enzymes and lactic acid to tenderly scrub away facial impurities and decongest blocked pores. As active ingredients exfoliate, protect and revitalize the skin, potent, oil-free moisturizers add a dewy softness to blemish-prone skin

This is my favorite mask out of every product I have ever tried. I was curious how it would be when I put it on as it seemed to be a really thin consistency.  Once again, a little goes a long way.  I put this on my face and it gave me the nice tight feeling you look for with a mask.  It does have an odd smell to it but nothing horrible.

You apply this mask on clean skin and rinse off after 3-10 minutes.  I actually enjoy leaving it on the full 10 minutes.  My skin feels extra smooth and hydrated after using this.  It is very gentle yet scrubs away dirt and excess oil all without clogging your pores.

This product is ideal for all skin types-including acne-prone, hyperpigmented, and sun-exposed skin.

My favorite product from Cosmedix is the Opti Crystal Chirally Correct Eye Serum.

With liquid crystals to replenish damaged, thinning skin around the eyes and growth factors and alpha lipoic acid to dramatically diminish the appearance of eye lines and wrinkles, Opti Crystal is the ultimate tool in anti-aging eye care. A chirally correct blend of protective, corrective and cell-stimulating ingredients, this powerful eye serum actively revitalizes delicate skin for a radiant, younger-looking finish.

This is such an amazing product!  It is irridescent and takes very little.  All you do is gently pat this on around your eye and/or lip area.  This actually works to reduce fine lines and wrinkles!  This helps to nourish dry and dehydrated skin and also stimulates collagen and elastic production.  This eye serum really firms your skin and is also non-irritating. 

I really loved the way this felt.  It was not oily and seemed to rub right in.  This is an awesome age-defying product I would recommend to everyone.

I love that Cosmedix products work so great and you don't have to worry about skin irritation or down time as with conventional treatments.  It is such a great feeling to find a skin care company that is actually worth it!
