Embattle Free Radicals with Emblica! #RevivaLabs

Press Sample.  All opinions are my own.

Hello, Fireflies!

I have such an affection for Reviva Labs as a company, and for their products.  I really identify with their no-nonsense approach to providing the best products at a reasonable price.  Unique from their beginnings, they started in 1973 by sourcing the specialties of 12 labs in six European countries and bringing them all to the United States.  Since then, they've become experts in blending unique skincare for various targeted concerns - and this new Ultra-Potency Vitamin C + Antioxidant Serum is a product of that research and blending.  It not only combines many of my favorite skincare ingredients, it introduces a new one - Emblica!

We've been hearing about Free Radicals for years now - they are what is largely responsible for our skin showing age.  These particles bounce around in our skin like pinballs, damaging everything in their wake.  

Antioxidants are our weapon against Free Radicals, neutralizing them and preventing them from doing damage.  Emblica doesn't just work once, though - when it neutralizes a Free Radical, it converts into another form of antioxidant, and works a second time! Emblica works to neutralize more Free Radicals, over a longer period of time, and it also neutralizes both oxygen Free Radicals and nitrogen ones (typically from pollution.)  

Reviva Labs didn't stop with Emblica, though - they made sure this serum is all you'll need for your daytime serum - wear it alone or under your makeup to nourish, heal, and moisturize the skin with so many amazing, natural ingredients like squalane, sunflower, borage, and rosehip oils, cocoa butter, and Aloe.  There's also Vitamin E and CoQ10, and their formula is paraben-free, made in the USA, and never tested on animals.

There have been many days where this was all I used in the daytime.  It is light, creamy, and subtly scented of fresh orange.  It has a bit of dimethicone which gives it just the right amount of slip to easily spread over my skin, and then it soaks in without any residue.  My oily skin loves this serum! It doesn't break me out, and it lightly moisturizes without any greasiness or heaviness.  If you have dry skin, this would go on the skin, under your moisturizer.

Reviva Labs took me to the grove, so that's where I took my nailart! The base color is Mineral Fusion Blue Nile, and I stamped leaves over that with Hit The Bottle Absinthe Minded.  The fruit is dots of OPI Where Did Suzi's Man-Go with highlights of Revlon Tempting.

I can see how healthy, soft, and radiant my own skin is, and I believe in the science that Reviva Labs has been known for for over 40 years.  I definitely trust Reviva, and recommend them to anyone looking for science-driven, natural, reasonably priced skincare that is cruelty-free.  If you'd like more information or to purchase, please check out their Facebook page, Twitter, Pinterest, Google+, YouTube, or their website, where Reviva Labs Ultra-Potency Vitamin C+Antioxidant Serum with Emblica retails for $32.
