A little over a week ago, four of your favorite beauty bloggers (plus me! heehee) hauled up in the uber posh Beverly Hills Medical Group (totally different from the Beverly Hills 6750 along Ayala Avenue) for a hearty brunch and launch of the hottest and most controversial anti-aging product line, REVALÉSKIN™.

In a nutshell,

• REVALÉSKIN™ is Stiefel Laboratories Inc.’s first and only professional line of Organiceutical, anti-aging skin care products exclusively formulated with the potent, natural antioxidant CoffeeBerry®

• In clinical trials performed by David McDaniel M.D., Director for the Institute of Anti-Aging Research in Virginia and Zoe Diana Draelos M.D, Primary Investigator for the Dermatology Consulting Service in North Carolina, REVALÉSKIN™ with CoffeeBerry® was proven to be ten times better than its vehicle in improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

• REVALÉSKIN™ is a simple three-step system: a Facial Cleanser to thoroughly cleanse the skin, a Day Cream with SPF 15 sunscreen to protect and moisturize, and a Night Cream to revitalize and rejuvenate.

• REVALÉSKIN™ is available only through dermatologists.

Can you picture how giddy I was when I was handed a loot bag containing all three REVALÉSKIN™ products? *wink* I couldn’t wait to snap and share with you gals how this line fairs!

Over the next few weeks, you’ll see an entry or so from me and my mom as we road test and see if this line actually works in turning back time, skin appearance wise. For now, let me run you down with my 1 week’s observation:

Product: REVALÉSKIN™ Facial Cleanser

Ingredients: Active Ingredients: 1% Coffee Berry, Octinoxate 7.5% (sunscreen), Oxybenzone 4% (sunscreen), Glycerin, Glycine Sojo (Soybean) Protein.

Wallet Damage: PhP 2700

The Swiper’s Verdict: B

While the cleanser isn’t strong enough to melt your waterproof mascara, I love how it leaves my skin super soft and light after. It doesn’t lather (it’s a plus that it’s soap-free) so you need to have moist hands, face, and neck to work it.

I am absolutely in love with this product simply because it hasn’t broken my skin out and it’s kept me oil free for 16 hours! No product’s done that so far. My pores have definitely shrunk as well (WOW).

Wallet Damage: PhP 4000

The Swiper’s Verdict: A

I’ve been waking up with clearer, softer, and oil free skin (don’t you just hate how some night creams leave you with a gunk of oil in the morning?) for the past seven days. I’ve been skipping on my eye cream too as it looks like I don’t need a dedicated product for my under eye area as this night cream’s already taming down my lines.
