Product Review: Tree of Life Rejuvenating Cream

Tree Of Life

Rejuvenating Cream

 

#1 Super Skin Rejuvenating Anti Aging Cream

****  Please Note:  I received this product for free in exchange for an honest review.  The thoughts and opinions expressed here, are my own.

First, I have to apologize to Tree of Life, I have had some familial obligations to take care of and unfortunately have been unable to do as I should and post timely reviews.  I've got several subscription boxes that I've not even posted about yet. 

I try to honor my commitments in a timely manner, so I don't like when life gets in the way.  It usually takes me no longer than a week to submit an honest review....

About the Product!!!!

I first had the pleasure and opportunity to try their Retinol Moisturizer.  I wasn't even aware at the time that their were "night-time" moisturizers.  Shows how little I knew.  With the Retinol Moisturizer (and most all their products) they send little samples (a months' supply!)  So, I had already had the luxury of trying out this fabulous Rejuvenating Cream!  

GETTING OLD SUCKS!!!

I was one of those 20 year olds that still looked as if she were 14 or 15.  I got carded all of the time, often to my deep frustration.  (Oh, what I wouldn't give to be carded today)....  One day it was like fifteen years had caught up to me.  My skin started appearing hallow and dry patches started appearing.  Lately, it seems as if my eyelids have suddenly formed little balloons right below the brow line...  What!  Where did that come from????  

That's why I've really had to start not only taking care of my skin, but being proactive. I used to pass the skincare by, heading straight to the "Fun stuff".  Now, I consider skincare a "fun thing", what my skin might have looked like had I started younger.

I honestly, have always considered skincare products a joke.  Just some scheme in order to make us pay more money for products we don't need.  However, I was wrong.  I don't mind admitting when I was wrong, I actually take pride when I'm wrong, because it so rarely happens :)  

I have noticed a huge difference since starting the rejuvenating cream.  The obvious signs that you notice right away, is the super creamy texture to the moisturizer.  It's so silky smooth.  I actually mix a bit of it with the Retinol Moisturizer, which tends to be a bit dry on my skin.  

One day I was passing by the mirror and caught a glimpse of myself and I honestly did a double take.  My skin appeared brighter, not loose. It was like looking at me in rewind.  Now, do I look like I'm twenty???  Absolutely not.  But I look a heck of a lot better than I did prior to using it.  I keep going back to Collagen. A year ago I didn't even realize we needed collagen, I thought that was the stuff they injected in those rich women that made them have funny smiles. I didn't know that our skin actually NEEDED collagen. However, I've since been educated!  In case your like me and have NO clue why we need collagen:  Collagen helps to keep your skin nice and tight (NO BALLOON EYELIDS) and when you get older your body stops producing collagen, making it ESSENTIAL for any skincare regime.

I still am no EXPERT, but I so would like to learn more about how to find the key to eternal youth, or at least to make my skin appear at least ten years younger.  If after only a few weeks of a regular skincare regimen, I can only imagine if I continue to be consistent with my skincare how great my skin will appear!

Skin Regimen:  We ALL need one!  Even in your teens and twenties!  I've even been teaching my son and my daughter to start now.  After all, it's our job as parents to try to keep our kids from making the same mistakes we made.

Products generally work better when you combine them with complimentary products so that they can I guess kinda communicate and help each other.  It's kinda like your car, your motor can be running, but if the transmission is missing, your not going nowhere fast....  This is what I'm currently doing for my skincare:

MORNING Routine:

1. CLEANSING: I use a cleansing oil, which is what I've found best for my dry skin.
2. TONER
3. EYE CREAM
4. Rejuvenating Cream!

NIGHT Routine:

1. CLEANSING:  Yes, AGAIN!  LOL  washing away impurities is essential
2. TONER
3. EXFOLIATE:  Twice a week I exfoliate to get rid of any dead skin
4. EYE CREAM
5. Retinol Moisturizer:  As previously stated I mix a bit of my Rejuvenating cream

Whatever products you choose to use, it's important to be consistent.  I've always struggled with consistency, my whole life.  But consistency is important to get the best results from any skincare program you choose.

TREE OF LIFE CUSTOMER SERVICE:

Luckily, I haven't had to contact "Customer Service", although I have been in touch with the company.  They have always been so nice and helpful.  They are also lightening fast to respond to any question or concern I may have.  I find this important information.  I've dealt with companies that it's like breaking into an armored car to get through to a "real person".  A lot of companies even respond with computer responses instead of an actual person writing you an email! (NOT talking about the standard, we'll get back to you)

This is my favorite product I've tried in awhile.  It's a definite 5 star!!  I was so thrilled that I was given the opportunity to review this product!

REVIEW + Special COUPON: Tree of Life Beauty

Tree of Life Beauty Retinol Moisturizer

A special chance available to become a member of Tree of Life VIP Review club!

Disclaimer:  I received this product in exchange for an honest review.   My thoughts and opinions are my own.

Tree of LIfe Retinol Moisturizer

The Product:

Ok so anyone who has read this blog, is aware that I am really new to the whole beauty thing. A year ago my idea of skincare was washing my face in the shower (If I thought about it).  I am ashamed to admit that I thought that my skin would forever remain supple and problem free.  Dang aging!  I now am quite aware that I wasn't blessed with eternal youth.  I only wish I had begun a beauty regimen way earlier.  Perhaps I wouldn't have started to lose the elasticity that I have, had I been combating old age at a young age.

Lately, I have had the misfortune of having extremely dry skin.  It has caused my foundation

to cake up and not be able to go on smoothly at all!  It's really been a struggle.  It honestly hasn't been quite as dreadful since winter is long over, but it's definitely still an inconvenience.  

Just in the past six months, I've probably tried at least five different brands of moisturizers. While a couple of them were ok, I still struggled with dryness.  Luckily someone in one of the groups I am a part of on Facebook, posted a link to be a part of a VIP program for Tree of LIfe beauty products.  I am so glad I was one of the lucky ones chosen.

When I received my package, I was pleasantly surprised to find more than just the moisturizer that I had ordered (the company sent a coupon for my purchase).  With all purchases, buyers also receive four deluxe sized samples of three other products.  I've only been using the products for a little over a week, but have already noticed some dramatic changes in my skin.

For starters, the Retinol moisturizer, is a nighttime moisturizer.  It has ingredients that help to moisturize and repair your skin.  One of the great things about the Retinol moisturizer, is it has ingredients that work to help restore the collagen (which we all know by now is what keeps our eyes from sagging and our skin nice and tight).  Man do I miss the days when I was clueless about why elasticity and collagen are so important, oh well, since I wasn't blessed with the foundation of youth.  I will have to rely on products...

The first time I used the moisturizer, I was wondering why in the world it seemed to be flaking, however I found that it was a nighttime cream and mix it with a little regular moisturizer or the rejuvenating cream (the sample that is included along with a purchase) and I could tell a difference.  As with all products, to simply use the moisturizer alone isn't going to be enough to combat the signs of aging.

I found that it worked best when I used it as a part of a full beauty regimen.  This is the routine that I used myself:

1. Cleanse: I have an orange oil that I use to cleanse my face (I have found oil works better than other forms, because of my dry skin)
2. Toner
3. Moisturize:  I mix a bit of the Retinol formula moisturizer with a touch of the Rejuvenating cream

When used the correct way, I have noticed a major difference in my skin.  It looks brighter, more alive.  My make-up hasn't been caking up (even in this Alabama humidity), and has looked more flawless than it has ever looked!  

While, I can't rewind the years I wasted not having a good skin routine, I can move forward by making smarter choices.  I am really glad that I was chosen to take part in reviewing this product.  Prior to receiving this product, I didn't even know that there were moisturizers just for night time use.  The size of the full size moisturizer is 2.0 oz., which may not sound like much, but it really is a lot!  I was shocked by how large it was and how little product it actually takes.

NOTE:  I forgot to mention:  The retinol moisturizer had no scent, which I know is important to a lot of consumers I've spoken with over time.  I, personally, don't mind scent.  I know, however, that this is an important factor for many when purchasing skincare.

Customer Service:  A good company goes beyond providing a good product

For me, you can have the BEST product in the world, but if you have shoddy customer service skills I don't want to give you my money.  It is one of the reasons why despite having a few hiccups with Birchbox, I still give them my money every month, because they truly seem to care about me as a customer.  

While I didn't have to get in touch with customer service, I was in touch with the company over the course of a couple of weeks and they were very quick to answer any questions and were very helpful and extremely nice.  They never made me feel as if I was hassling them and never once did they ignore me.  They provided prompt and courteous service!  This gives me faith that if I were to purchase something from them and had any issues (which we always hope there are none, but you never know when you might have to call Customer Service) that they would be quick to respond.  

OVERALL:  

I would definitely give them 5 stars on all points.  The product was head and shoulders above other moisturizers I have tried and the fact that they give their customers good sized samples of their other products, says a lot about how they understand how important it is for a customer to be able to try their products as a part of a whole routine and the confidence they have that you will be back for more.
