Think the path to great skin has to come at great costs? Think again! For less than what it costs for about a week’s worth of lattes, Reviva Labs, a brand you can find at your local vitamin store, has skincare products in their lineup that can rival many brands at department stores and even contains similar ingredients.
Take a look at five and what they can do for your skin.
1. Alpha Lipoic Acid, Vitamin C Ester & DMAE Cream. Alpha lipoic acid and Vitamin C Ester are both powerful antioxidants that help to fight free radicals and future skin aging. Add in DMAE, a substance found in salmon and sardines that helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and you’ve got yourself a pretty effective night cream that only costs $23. Use this at night and over time it can help tighten and firm the skin, give the skin a healthy glow, and it’s great to begin using this now to help fight against aging.
2. Non-Chemical Light Skin Peel. If your skin is dull and can use a boost, chances are its because you have a build up of dead skin cells on your skin that’s preventing you from shining. Most notice a difference in the skin after just one use. To use, apply the peel to clean skin, allow it to dry for 3-5 minutes, and rub off gently with a paper towel or cotton pad. Light Skin Peel can be used once a week. $20
3. Brown Spot Skin Lightening Night Cream. It’s a vicious cycle: you get a pimple, it finally goes away, and then a brown spot pops up that takes forever to fade. If you can catch the spots while they’re still “new” an over the counter treatment like Brown Spot Skin Lightening Night Cream that contains 2% hydroquinone can be effective in fading them and revealing a more even skin tone. $11
4. 10% Glycolic Acid Night Cream. Glycolic acid helps to reduce fine lines & wrinkles, acne scarring, hyperpigmentation. Glycolic acid is known for its exfoliating as well as anti-aging properties. Use this at night. $29
5. Skin Lightener Day Cream with Kojic Acid. If you prefer a non-hydroquinone treat to fade dark spots, try this cream formulated with kojic acid that also has SPF15 (but be sure to reapply a separate SPF if you’ll be in the sun for prolonged periods of time). Kojic acid doesn’t work as fast as hydroquinone, but is available for those who prefer a more natural approach to a more even skin tone. $13
