Youthful Essence

Youthful Essence® is an anti-aging skin care product. Unlike similar products which use peptides or antioxidants as principle ingredients, the Youthful Essence® line is based on microdermabrasion.

This practice, once availabe only in salons or at dermatologists works by applying a light abrasion to the skin to remove old damaged skin, lessen scars and eliminate dark spots.

Youthful Essence® is a personal microdermabrasion system designed to be used at home to exfoliate the skin and reveal the fresh radiant skin beneath.

The system claims to give you everything you need to reveal your skins natural beauty.

The system includes:

Resurfacing Cream. A vitamin rich cream to buff away old skin cells.
Facial Warming Cleanser. Featuring breakthrough warming technology this cleanser helps loosen dead skin and open pores.
Daily Protection Moisturizer. A hydrating cream with UVA and UVB blockers.
Skin Enhancing Serum. Designed to penetrate the skin and stimulate healthy cell growth.

Healthy Body Report’s unbiased research on Youthful Essence®:

Our research came up with mixed results on this product. The primary concern some people had is that the product has the ability to dry out the skin, so those with dry skin should be sure to ask around before trying it. On the other hand, those who did have good results gave glowing reports.

Verdict:

If you are looking for an anti-aging product and are not sure where to start, we would recommend trialing an peptide/antioxidant based system such as Reclaim® before microdermabrasion.
