Time to review some more of my Acure Organics purchases, once again, sorry for the lack of post's. Almost immediately after I orderded this lot, Acure came out with some new products that I am hoping to try soon, particularly the Cell Stimulating Facial Mask and the Leave-In Conditioner Argan Oil & Argan Stem Cell.
I'll start off by reviewing the Radical Age Reversal Treatment and the Day Cream. I used the Day Cream in the morning after washing my face, then the Radical Age Reversal Treatment at night over rosehip oil. I especially liked the Day Cream purely for the smell, it smells incredibly yummy alhtough I can't quite put my finger on the scent, almost like bubblegum, and did a good job of moisturising my skin for the day. The Radical Age Reversal Treatment was not a favourite I have to admit, not because of any negative effects, but the smell wasn't very nice and I found it wasn't really moisturising enough. I do understand that it doesn't claim to be a moisturiser, but personally I don't see much point in applying 4 products at night when I can use 3. I do think that this would be good for someone who doesn't need the extra moisture. Other than that I didn't mind using it, my skin did seem to look nicer in the morning.
The only downfall with these bottles is it is ridiculously hard to get the last bit out of the bottom, im not quite sure what to do with it as my finger doesn't fit in there.
Overall, I would purchase the Day Cream again but probably not the Age Reversal as I have no real use for it at the moment.

I am currently using the Line Eraser as a night cream for around my eyes and mouth and it seems to be doing a good job. It has gone a little bit grainy in the pot, which im not sure why, but it smooths out and melts once ive patted it into my skin. I like using a balm type eye cream as I don't have to worry about mass waste from liquid pumps that squirt out too much product. The Line Eraser smells delicious too, the lavender really stands out. As for the Balancing Rose and Red Tea Facial Toner, I hadn't been using this until recently as it dried my skin out too much and the Radical Age Reversal Treatment wasn't putting enough moisture back in. It's from my own impatient stupidity though, I didn't want to wait for the cream cleanser to come back in stock so I ordered the Gel Cleanser, so this toner on top of that was just too much for my skin and stripped it of all moisture. Anywho, Now that I have started using a more nourishing/hydrating night cream (review to come), I have started using this toner again and I can see the difference. I think I will at some stage switch back to my beloved Pukka Herbs Rosewater because I love spraying fresh rosewater on my face, and I don't particularly like the smell of witch hazel, but this is good for now.
