Mesoforce Mat

New from Vie Collection - MÉSOFORCE MAT HYDRATING REVITALIZING CREAM-GEL.

MESOTHERAPY FOR OILY AND COMBINATION SKIN.

VIE Collection once again bolsters its anti-aging skin care reputation by rounding out its line for oily and combination skin. A cream inspired by mesotherapy facial techniques.

Mesotherapy is a preventive anti-aging treatment that uses very fine needles to inject hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, and other revitalizing ingredients just under the skin. The sub-cutaneous injections quickly and efficiently revitalize skin and stimulate collagen and elastin production. The technique delivers an overall anti-aging effect that plumps, smooths, revitalizes, and brightens the skin.

VIE Collection has taken the primary revitalizing ingredients used in mesotherapy and paired them with a special, purifying ingredient. The preventive skin care solution for oily and combination skin types hydrates, revitalizes and plumps skin, then leaves it with a matte finish.

MÉSOFORCE MAT’s gel-cream texture has been specially formulated to instantly refresh oily and combination skin types. The mattifying powder included in the formula leaves the skin with a non-oily, no-shine finish.
Non-comedogenic formula.
pH : 5.5

A POOL OF BENCHMARK INGREDIENTS:

HYALURONIC ACID - Hyaluronic acid, a natural component of young skin. It helps maintain an optimum level of hydration by trapping water in the deeper layers, in the same way as a sponge. It also helps to strengthen skin cohesion and firmness. Over time, the amount of hyaluronic acid contained in the body decreases by half. The skin becomes dehydrated, thinner and begins to slacken.
Hyaluronic acid is an essential ingredient in fighting against these signs of aging.

VITA B5 - a constituent of Coenzyme A, plays key roles in cell metabolism.

VITA C - highly stable derivative with an excellent skin penetration. It reactivates the biological functions of the skin and revives its radiance.

VITA E + COENZYME Q10 - vital enzyme that regulates cell energy production, E is known for its free radical-fighting properties.
It also acts as a stabilizer for concentrated Coenzyme Q10, the substance’s most potent form.

LIPOAMINOACID - An active ingredient, this multi-purpose complex targets all causes of skin imperfections.

Sandalwood Soap

We have a new Pré de Provence soap scent in stock!

Sandalwood. And, it's heaven.

Each 250 gram bar is carefully made by dedicated soap makers in Provence.

Creamy, Soft, Smooth.

For centuries, the luxury of French-milled soaps has remained the gold standard of excellence. Each time you begin to lather a Provence made soap, you enter a time and place where quality and craftsmanship have stood still. Traditional French soap is triple-milled to produce a completely uniform and smooth soap, without impurities, thus lasting longer. Pre de Provence soaps are quad-milled, to be even smoother, and have a richer lather and a more luxurious feel.

Using all pure, natural ingredients enriched with shea butter, you can feel the difference in this unique quad-milling process. Aromatic fragrances transport you into a moment of calmness, vitality, dreaming, or well-being.

Not all French Soaps are Created Equal and you'll feel the difference the very first time you use one.

Juicy Pomegranate formula has been given an update as well.

Vie Collection CHRONO EYES fights chronological signs of aging and fatigue using the most powerful cosmeceutical ingredients. Drawing inspiration from eye-rejuvenating treatments carried out in esthetic doctors’ offices, CHRONO EYES works to smooth wrinkles, reduce puffiness and dark circles and revive tired eyes. Hyaluronic acid fills deep wrinkles while a Botox-like peptide relaxes expression lines. Other ingredients including phytosterols and fatty acids reduce puffiness and Vit C and B3 combat dark circles. This targeted cream has an ultra-soft, slightly pearlecent finish with a high tolerance, fragrance-free formula, opthalmologically tested and suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.

Directions for use: Apply morning and evening. Gently pat onto the eye contour. Smooth under the eyes and crow’s feet.

Key ingredients:

• Hyaluronic Acid - high molecular weight hyaluronic acid is encapsulated and released deep within the skin. It swells and fills deep wrinkles in the eye area.
• Botox-like peptide - works within the skin to block the force of muscle contraction to relax frown lines and crow’s feet wrinkles.
• Phytosterols + fatty acids - stimulates the elimination of fat deposits that cause under-eye puffiness.
• Vita C + Vita B3 - ultra-stable Vita C derivative limits the amount of melanin produced while Vita B3 stimulates microcirculation by increasing blood flow.

Liquid Green

Don't panic!

Intelligent Nutrients has only repackaged and renamed their
Renewing Oil Serum, now called, LIQUID GREEN RENEWING OIL.

The oil is such a pretty color and they wanted to show it off - so now it's in a new, clear bottle.

We have a couple bottles remaining of the Renewing Oil Serum.

Liquid Green is the perfect oil and instant addiction. Quick absorbing oil smooths and illuminates for a youthful and radiant glow. Made only of clean oils like argan, blue tansy, acai and active essential oils, it instinctively delivers what any skin needs. Miraculous–kind of like nature itself.

Deep moisture in winter yet light in summer, it perfectly aligns with the body's sebum. If you buy nothing else, buy this. Feel skin awaken, cell by cell. FOR ALL SKIN TYPES, ESPECIALLY DRY.
