Amara Organics Hyaluronic Acid Serum - heavyweight hydration! (review)

*DISCLAIMER - Item(s) sent by company for the purposes of testing and review.  All words and opinions are my own.  I am not being financially compensated for this post.*

As my quest for better looking skin continues, I had the opportunity to try a serum that is natural, organic and packs a huge punch of moisturization...

Amara Organics are a small, family owned business that brings to you skincare containing carefully chosen natural and organic ingredients.  Their line has 5 products, for skin and eye areas, with ingredients ranging from vitamins C and E, hyaluronic acid, fruit stem cells, peptides and more.  What I have for you today is the Amara Organics Hyaluronic Acid Serum with vitamins C and E.

Amara Organics Hyaluronic Acid Serum is a clear, semi viscous liquid contained in a clear glass bottle.  You get 1 fl. oz/30ml. of liquid product.  This serum retails for $17.95 USD.

"This serum is a concentrated delivery system for the highest quality botanically derived hyaluronic acid, with powerful antioxidants Vitamin C & E, for beautiful skin".   - Amara Organics
Hyaluronic Acid is known to be a powerful hydrator in products.  In this serum, coupled with vitamins C and E and other essentials, it becomes a super boost of hydration for plumper, moisturized skin.

Benefits:
 - plumps and hydrates skin, reducing fine lines and wrinkles
 - locks in moisture, giving skin a dewy, supple glow
 - boosts collagen production, restoring skin's natural elasticity
 - softens and smooths for a more even skin tone
 - leaves skin looking radiant and youthful

This lightweight serum quickly absorbed into my skin, leaving it soft, cool and super plump!  I did not experience any stickiness afterwards which made for other skincare and makeup applications issue free.  There is a slight herbal scent to the serum that quickly dissipates after application.  I have been using this for about a month and I wake up to softer skin, a more clearer complexion, and a hydrated look.  I have only recently brought it down to my neck, followed by my neck cream to see if I can improve the area there.  A post with photos of before and afters will come soon.  What I really love about this serum is just how much light hydration is has brought into my skin.  I am a habitual skin treatment user, everything from masks to peels to scrubs, and this serum has allowed for those treatments to go to work, but not dry me out as others have done in the past.  Perfect summer hydration for those looking for moisture but not the added heavy feel of a cream.

This serum is natural, vegan and cruelty free as well :)

InstaNatural Skincare

With winter upon us, I decided to change up my skincare routine to add some power products to punch up my defenses during these cold and dry months.  This is where InstaNatural comes in.  InstaNatural is a company committed to bringing you products that are organic and pure, without the use of parabens, harmful alcohols or sulfates.  They produce a wide range of products for skin, hair, body and even supplements!  Here, I have three of their most powerful players...

InstaNatural Hyraluronic Acid Serum

You had me at the word serum.  There is an otherworldly love I feel for serums.  I find them to be an extremely essential part of any skincare regime.  "InstaNatural's Hyaluronic Acid Serum contains Hyaluronic Acid along with a perfect blend of antioxidants, such as Vitamin C + Jojoba Oil + Green Tea.  With a capacity to sustain up to 1000 times its weight in water, Hyaluronic Acid is a great natural hydrator by helping the skin to retain moisture." - InstaNatural

The first unique feature of this serum is that it has some heft.  The serum is on the thicker side, but melts into the skin beautifully.  What I love is how plump my skin looks afterwards.  Hyaluronic Acid Serum quickly sinks into the skin and I did not experience any film or stickiness on my face afterwards.  There is a slight herbal scent that is quite apparent upon first application, but fades once serum melded with the skin.  I have been left with skin that looks and feels plump, is very smooth and I cannot wait to see what this will do for my fine lines after continued use!

Find this quickly on Amazon.com HERE.  To see ingredients, benefits and more, visit InstaNatural HERE.

InstaNatural Youth Express Eye Gel

"Youth Express Eye Gel provides absolute care to the eye area.  It is enriched with plant stem cells, Hyaluronic Acid, Matrixyl 3000, Vitamin E and Jojoba Oil to help with dark circles, wrinkles, puffiness and sagging skin.  This blend of powerful ingredients increases elasticity and enhances the tone of your skin to provide a firm, plump appearance."  - InstaNatural

This is not your basic eye gel.  This gel has a fantastic texture that is that of a gel and bouncy cream.  

Youth Express is cooling upon application, which has helped decrease puffiness, but its thick texture helps to not only moisturize but plump up my undereye area.  Once blended onto the skin, the gel never feels wet...it is almost creamy.  There is a few seconds of a dry down time that this needs, but once you pass that, you have a plumped, refreshed, soft undereye area that looks more alive.  This does have a slight scent, not at all chemical, but fades within seconds of application.

InstaNatural Pore Tightening Vitamin C Facial Toner

Another integral part of any skincare routine is a toner.  For someone like me with combination/oily skin, it is essential in maintaining balance for my skin.  "Pore Tightening Vitamin C Facial Toner is an all-in-one hydrator infused with anti-aging ingredients to leave your skin feeling refreshed and balanced with each pump of its formula.  Vitamin C in the mist helps renew skin by neutralizing free radicals and UV-related damage to protect and strengthen the epidermis.  Witch Hazel's astringent properties purify oily skin and tighten pores, all while the sulfur drives deep penetration of these ingredients to increase skin elasticity.  With each spray, your face is restored to natural pH levels and is in prime condition to absorb serums and moisturizers effectively." - InstaNatural

 This facial toner comes in a pump bottle and is refreshing way to start your skincare.  This has a strong scent of orange zest upon application which does fade after a few seconds.  Once absorbed, I was left film free and ready for my serum and moisturizer.  This has been a godsend now as we are in winter.  I find myself reaching for this for an extra boost under and over the rest of my skincare, as well as an additional step in my makeup application.  This tones down any overly powdery look.  I really like how this did not make me oily and only added a pretty, subtle glow!

InstaNatural's products are available on Amazon.com, and various spas around the US!  To learn more about this company and their commitment to healthier skin, go HERE.
