Apple Stem Cells in Green Beauty Youth Boost Facial Serum


A vitamin packed serum, Green Beauty Youth Boost Facial Serum firms, illuminates, evens skin tone, and smoothes the appearance of fine lines.  Also contains Swiss apple stem cells, clinically proven to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.  Green Beauty was created created to be pure, authentic, beautiful, luxurious, natural and organic.  In a clinical trial over 4 weeks, 100% of subjects showed a visible improvement in wrinkle depth and crows feet.  This serum also makes a great primer as it left my skin silky smooth, a great canvas for foundation. 

Ingredient Benefits:
  • Apple Stem Cells reduces wrinkles.
  • Vitamin A&C enhance skin luminosity.
  • Amla fruit makes skin glow.
  • Green Tea contains antioxidants & protects against damaging free radicals.
  • Licorice root brightens skin and evens skin tone.

    PhytoCellTec Malus Domestica (Swiss Apple Stem Cells) protects longevity of skin stem cells, fights against UV Radiation, repairs DNA, protects against oxidation (prevents skin from darkening & physical signs of aging), and preserves the youthful appearance of your skin.  I find this serum is great for preventing physical signs of aging and I recommend for normal, dry, combination skin.  Acneic skin may break out.  As for fine lines and crows feet, this serum is a great pick me up!  This serum comes in a air tight pump, great for keeping ingredients fresh and active.

    • Propylene Glycol

    Created by Mesoestetic, Cosmelan has become the new breakthrough treatment for resistant hyperpigmentation.  Effective on Melasma, Brown Spots, Blotchy Skin, Hyperpigmentation, and preventing Hyperpigmentation post-laser/ post peel.  The  Professional treatment consists of 2 phases, followed by a maintenance cream (ensuring continued fading of discoloration and a luminous complexion) and follow up appointments with your dermatologist.

    Phase 1:  Cosmelan 1 Mask is applied in office and left on skin for 4-10 hours depending on severity of Hyperpigmentation and skin color.  

    Phase 2:  For at home maintenance Cosmelan 2, the mask is removed with Cosmelan Facial Gel Cleanser and followed by Hydra-vital Factor K Cream. 



    Advantages of Cosmelan:
    • Skin is rejuvenated and brighter with lightening of brown spots in 1-4 weeks.
    • Effective on all types of Melasma.
    • Can be used any time of the year.
    • Safe for all skin complexions.

    I am not promoting "skin bleaching".  This peel is for reversing hyperpigmentation to achieve a more even skin tone.
