Algenist is Unique: Discover Alguronic Acid!

The key ingredient in Algenist's products is a new beauty breakthrough discovery: Alguronic Acid. 

Algenist's own research claims that Alguronic Acid is more effective than Retinol, Vitamin C, and Hyaluronic Acid! Wow! This is both a bold claim and promising news. There is a lot of potential for skin improvement with Alguronic Acid products! 

Here is a cool story about how Alguronic Acid was discovered:

A team of biotechnology scientists in San Francisco, California, focused on developing microalgae-based renewable energy solutions, unexpectedly discovered Alguronic Acid, a powerful compound responsible for regenerating and protecting the microalgae cell. When scientifically tested, Alguronic Acid demonstrated significant anti-aging properties, increasing elastin synthesis by up to 32%* and cellular regeneration by up to 55%*.

So, now lets get to my review! You may remember that I felt that Algenist's Regenerative Anti-Aging Moisturizer was just a tad too heavy for my use during the hot summer months? Well, as you can imagine, I was very excited to hear about them coming out with a new lightweight facial sunscreen! How perfect for summer!

My Skin Background: 

I generally have normal-dry skin (note: *usually* normal to-dry...since I just had a baby, my hormones are a bit whacked and I have been getting oily breakthrough too). My skin rarely breaks out. But, if I am not careful in product selection, I can get a stray breakout here and there. My pores are somewhat large throughout my t-zone region. My skin is very sensitive to product ingredients. I do not have any lines or wrinkles. But, I can get some very fine lines (mostly around the eye area) when my skin is dry/dehydrated. So, with all that said, my skin is generally in very good condition. But, I would love a more refined texture and less "congestion" in my trouble areas.

How did my skin like this luxurious Anti-Aging Moisturizer with SPF 20 by Algenist? Keep reading to find out!

The Newest Thing in Skincare: Alguronic Acid (Algenist Skincare: Complete Eye Renewal Balm review)

It is so exciting for me to try out new skincare products. I always have high hopes that each new product that I try will be the "one" that I have been searching for. Many skincare lines have big claims for anti-aging. In the vast sea of skincare products on the market, it can be hard to decide upon what works for you! One of the main reasons that I started blogging was to chronicle my skincare testing online. It takes me awhile to test out skincare products. So, I am always excited when it is time to actually sit down and write my review. 

When I first heard about Algenist Skincare, I got very excited! This brand has something new. Yes, an exciting new product ingredient: Alguronic Acid.
