I recently had the chance to try a few of the Kinerase products. If there name sounds familiar it might be because their spokesperson is Courntey Cox Arquette and they have a long list of celebrity fans. I have heard a lot about the Kinerase products and the awards they have won but you always wonder how well a product actually works.

I started using the Day & Night Moisturizers and the Pro Therapy C6 peptide lotion a little over two weeks ago. With the first use I noticed it was unscented which I like and it seemed to go on smooth and absorb well. I have been using specialty anti-aging creams for awhile so I wondered how different it would actually be. Over the next few days of use I noticed my face was less oily during the day, I am usually really shiny by the afternoon and my face was still smooth and oil free at bedtime. I don’t know if that is even supposed to be a side effect of use but anything that makes my face not shine is great in my opinion.

Of course the big reason for using Kinerase is their promise to reduce the signs sun damage and aging. My face is still fairly wrinkle free I just hit the big 30 but I am starting to get little crows feet and laugh lines. Over the last few weeks they have been softening though and I have noticed the last few nights they are barely visible. My skin feels so smooth and I have even noticed my pores have gotten a little smaller. I really like this product it delivered on what it promised and more I am hooked!

I have listed a little more info about the three products I tried they have many additional products at their site to meet different skin types.

Kate showed up at Glamour’s Reel Moments premiere looking amazing! I did a little searching and found Kate’s skincare secret for keeping her skin smooth and wrinkles at bay.

Kate is a fan of ReVive Intensitê Volumizing Serum. This anti-aging breakthrough serum gives you powerful antioxidant protection while it plumps up wrinkles and fine lines, and battles blemishes and dark spots due to the rapid cell turnover that it promotes! It’s key ingredient, Keratinocyte Growth Factor, has been touted as the closest thing to the fountain of youth.

ReVive Intensitê Volumizing Serum

Wrinkles are not the enemy of youth. More insidious is the subtle loss of facial volume that dramatically ages a face. Volume loss could never be managed with a skincare cream…until now. RéVive introduces its most potent molecule yet, KGF (Keratinocyte Growth Factor). Intensité Volumizing Serum with KGF augments the subtle loss of facial volume and plumps trouble areas (i.e. puppet and frown lines). KGF halts the aging process by turning over dying skin cells 8 times faster and hinders DNA fragmentation. Skin is immediately dewy and vibrant. KGF’s dynamic activity allows for a molecular dialogue with underlying layers of skin that contributes to increased volume after several weeks. Whitening Tri-Complex depigments the skin eliminating blemishes and dark spots associated with aging. Powerful anti-radical defense system shields against pollution, stress and damaging UVB rays. Intensité Volumizing Serum is the optimal solution before considering or in preparation for a surgical procedure.

SKIN TYPE: Intensive repair and volume enhancement for mature skin.

So I recently had the chance to try the new ThermaClear acne clearing device. I was a little skeptical at how well it would work it seemed a little to easy to be true. There are a few rules as to what type of acne it works on and I don’t have many breakouts so I decided to test it on my husband. Bonus with using him as a guinea pig if anything crazy happens it’s his face not mine, I know I’m not a nice girl.

So he tried it on his acne the first night and said there was a slight sting but it wasn’t too bad it felt like a pinch. So we went to bed wondering what we would find in the morning. I was happy to find by the next day his blemish was much better and barely noticeable and by the second day it was gone. Most of his blemishes were gone completely within two days and he didn’t have to smear any chemicals on his face and hide out from the sun. I have to say for anyone who is plagued by adult acne I think this product is worth the splurge.

The ThermaClear Difference

ThermaClear puts you in charge of your skin again, with safe, effective, powerful, pimple-fighting technology that defeats pimples at their source. Lotions and cleansers can take up to 8 weeks to work and they don’t get rid of the pimples you already have. And let’s face it. Those are the pimples that really matter.

How ThermaClear Works
ThermaClear treats the pimples you already have. During the TWO SECOND treatment time, the device delivers a controlled burst of healing thermal energy that reaches deep beneath the surface of your skin, neutralizing the bacteria causing the pimple. This speeds the healing process, so you get CLEARER SKIN FAST–up to four times faster. So, if you typically find a pimple lasts a week, with ThermaClear it might take only two or three days to heal.

Why You Need ThermaClear

ThermaClear’s HEAT technology is similar to laser treatments dermatologists use for mild-to-moderate acne–but you don’t have to have acne to use ThermaClear. Sometimes that one pimple can be just as annoying as a full-on breakout–and you want to get rid of it, ASAP. With this kind of powerful technology in the palm of your hand, YOU’RE IN CHARGE of your skin again.

ThermaClear is an FDA-cleared acne treatment device that offers an innovative solution for clearing mild-to-moderate inflammatory acne (i.e., pimples)

Lucy Lui always looks absolutely radiant!  She opened up to InStyle recently about her beauty secrets - and I thought I’d share it with you! 

What’s your earliest beauty memory?

I used to watch my mom put makeup on, and we would go to the five-and-dime store and experiment with whatever makeup was there. It was basically L’Oréal lipstick — which is funny, because I still use it.

So is your mom your beauty guru?

No, now she’s coming to me for tips. She sees how amazing my makeup looks, but it’s not me. It’s the people putting it on. I really like to keep my skin clean. I use just a little concealer. I don’t even put on sunscreen, but I don’t sit in the sun either.

No sunscreen! How do you keep your skin so young and smooth?

I drink a lot of water, and I’ve never had coffee. I think caffeine can be really bad for your skin. And I don’t get facials, ever.

Why don’t you get facials?

I think they damage your skin. People are getting peels and dermabrasion, and anything with the word “abrasion” doesn’t work for me. I also think a lot of plastic surgery hurts your skin.

Do you always carry around two different eye liners?

Yes. The liquid liner is for above the eye, and the pencil is for inside the eye. But I rarely use the pencil unless I’m going out. If you put liquid liner on during the day and then add pencil to the inner rims at night, it glams it up.

What about your hair? How do you keep it so shiny?

I alternate between Dr. Bronner’s All in One soap, Davines and Prawduct for shampoo and different conditioners like Pantene. I love herbal scents because I’m a little bit allergic [to fragrance]. If I walk into a store and it’s all perfume, it’s too much. And I let my hair air dry. I rarely blow-dry — I don’t have time.

You sound very low maintenance. Do you have any beauty indulgences?

I splurge on acupuncture. It’s preventative medicine: You go in once a month, and you get a little checkup so you’re regulated. It keeps you healthy. My parents used to get acupuncture. It has been a part of my culture and my life for a long time, and it really, really works. It can help you lose weight, it can help your skin stay young — and I’ve found it helps with jet lag. [Acupuncturists] look at your tongue and will say: “All right, you’re drinking too much” or “You’re emotional, aren’t you?”

How else do you stay healthy? Do you still practice martial arts?

I just trained for the movies. But I love going hiking, and now because I’m [filming in New York City], I go biking. People can see me on the street — I’m not biking that fast. It’s just good exercise, and you get around quickly. It’s like being on a horse or a motorcycle because you’re outside.

What about Aquaphor? I’ve heard you’re obsessed.

I use it for everything. It’s not too glossy, so I wear it when I do movies because it looks really natural. I always carry a mini with me. And if I fall, which I do a lot — I generally skid — I’ll put it on my [scrapes]. When I was shooting a movie in Montreal, it was freezing. If you take a little bit of Aquaphor and dab it on your face, it keeps your skin looking fresh. I dubbed it Aqua for Everything.

Here is Rachel Bilson at the Chanel Fashion show during the Paris Fashion Week in Paris, France, October 5th.

Of course she wants to keep her dazzling dermis as flawless as it is, which is most likely why she’s obsessed with this entire collection. As one of the product first lines created specifically for younger skin, Beaute Initiale aims to prevent the aging of skin, while targeting everyday problems like puffy eyes and dullness. Rich in vitamins C and E, it also boosts skin’s natural defense system and cell regeneration.
