I shall have to rate C0Q10 OliveVitale Age Recovery Night Treatment with a five star rating because I have finally found a high performance moisturizer that successfully completes the task of deep moisturizing.
I’ve used many products for moisturizing before switching to organic products and after experimentation I ended up using the Oil of Olay line for many years. However, their chemical content is high if you check the ratings and the makers of this product, Proctor and Gamble, still test on animals. Not good. Read more…

H A Hyaluronic Acid Anti-Aging Cream “Pure Elegance”
I would use one word to describe H A Hyaluronic Acid Anti-Aging Cream “Pure Elegance” by Organika Health Products of British Columbia. The word for this anti-aging cream is “luxurious”.
This product was purchased at my local natural products store. This is an excellent anti-aging cream, very luxurious in texture. It can be applied both night and day and can be worn under makeup. After applying, my skin felt very moisturized and the cream left a somewhat dewy look to the surface of the skin. On a “one to five star” rating, this anti-aging cream would rate five stars. It feels as good as any high end moisturizer you can purchase in the drug store or your department store. It is not classified as organic, but 95% of the ingredients are healthy. The only ingredient I didn’t like in the ingredient list is the Germaben II an antimicrobial preservative component which is rated as a “Moderate Hazard” chemical ingredient by the Environment Working Group Cosmetic Safety database (www.cosmeticsdatabase.com)
H A Hyaluronic Acid Anti-Aging Cream contains a high percentage of hyaluronic acid (0.2%). This is the substance in our bodies responsible for joint lubrication, eye lubrication (think of the dry eyes we experience as we age) and it keeps the skin moisturized and lubricated. The loss of hyaluronic acid as we age is seen by the loss of elasticity in the skin, the increase in the amount of time required to heal skin wounds and the development of wrinkles. One can also supplement this anti-aging cream internally by taking Hyaluronic acid capsules which are also made by Organika Health Products.
I’m loving their H A Hyaluronic Acid Anti-Aging Cream “Pure Elegance” cream and using it twice a day. I highly recommend it. Organika also makes an anti-aging Hyaluronic Serum which I am hoping to review in the future. Stay tuned.
