Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

Dr. Brandt Skincare has so many innovative and cutting-edge formulas in their product arsenal that it is hard for me to select a favorite from my collection. That said, the new XYY Xtend Your Youth Dual Fusion Water and XYY Xtend Your Youth Face Cream have definitely captured my attention, and are both getting lots and lots of use lately. XYY Xtend Your Youth is an antioxidant-rich, anti-stress and anti-aging collection that features highly effective products that produce real results, and they are a pleasure to use.
Dr. Brandt XYY Xtend Your Youth Dual Fusion Water is described as a "two-in-one antioxidant micellar water" that effectively traps oil, dirt, makeup residue and impurities. I am a longtime proponent of micellar water, and this fragrance-free version effectively removes makeup, including waterproof eye makeup, and it does so without irritating my sensitive eyes. The formula is ultra gentle, non-drying and it leaves skin feeling soft and refreshed. If you are obsessed with micellar water, as I am, then you really need to try this one– I am utterly obsessed with it, and think that you will likely feel the same way!

According to Dr. Brandt:

Gently and effectively removes all impurities and makeup (even waterproof formulas), trapping oil and residue in micelles (tiny molecules). This cleanser is a must-have for all skin types. Ophthalmologist tested. Safe for sensitive eyes & contact lenses wearers.

Most cleansers have a PH range above seven which weakens the skin’s acid mantle—the layer that protects skin from dehydration and bacteria growth. The PH range of Dual Fusion Water is between five and six, which promotes a healthy PH Balance.

Features:
  • Removes oil, impurities & make-up residue
  • Gently & effectively removes even waterproof make-up
  • May help support skin’s natural defense system against free radicals & external aggressors
  • Leaves skin purified & revitalized
  • Free of Parabens, Sulfates and Phthalates
Directions: Morning and evening, saturate cotton pads with Dual Fusion Water. Place and smooth over eyes, face and neck. No need to rinse it off. Finish your skincare ritual, with Xtend Your Youth Eye Cream and Xtend Your Youth Face Cream.

Selected Ingredients and Attributes:
  • Micelles (Tiny Cleansing Particles): Effectively dissolve and absorb dirt and makeup.
  • Lotus Extract: Removes impurities and the residue of pollution.
  • Derivative Of Hyaluronic Acid: Hydrates deeply.
Ingredients: Water, Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Benzyl Alcohol, Coco-Glucoside, Sodium Hydroxide, Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Rose Extract, Wine Extract, Capryloyl Glycine, Sucrose, Dehydroacetic Acid, Allantoin, Disodium Edta, Mineral Salts, Butylene Glycol, Grape Seed Extract, Nymphaea Lotus Flower Extract, 1,2-Hexanediol, Sodium Hyaluronate.

($32.00 for 6.7 oz. from dr. brandt, Ulta, Sephora, Birchbox, Macy's, Beauty.com, Beauty Bar, Skin Store and Dermstore)
Dr. Brandt XYY Xtend Your Youth Face Cream is a lightweight and fast-absorbing antioxidant rich anti-aging cream that offers skin long-lasting antioxidant protection and moisture. The proprietary formula utilizes a "new, innovative, and exclusive extraction process to create a blend of three potent antioxidants to shield the skin from free radicals and external aggressors all day long."

What is immediately evident is that my skin appears and feels ultra-hydrated, soft, smooth, supple and with an obvious luminosity when I use this cream. Furthermore, I note that my fine lines appear softened and lifted, and the overall texture of my skin appears enhanced.

The texture of the cream is luxurious and emollient, and feels utterly delightful against the skin, and it leaves behind no greasy residue.  It is free of synthetic fragrance, but it has a very faint scent from the Rosa Damascena Flower Oil and Rose Extract, but it is barely detectable, and it fades immediately. It is a really spectacular moisturizer, that is suitable for all skin types, and it isn't in the least bit surprising that it is an ALLURE Best of Beauty Award Winner!

According to Dr. Brandt:

This antioxidant-enriched moisturizer provides the skin with 12 hours of protection, unveiling a luminous, healthy and youthful complexion. Formulated with Dr. Brandt’s revolutionary A3 power technology, a dynamic shield boosted with anti-oxidant, age defying and anti-stress ingredients. Day after day, skin looks rehydrated, smoother & softer.

Features:
  • Helps smooth lines & the first signs of aging
  • Softens & hydrates
  • Moisturizes the upper skin layers
  • Free of Parabens, Sulfates and Phthalates
Directions: Apply morning and evening after cleansing your skin with Xtend Your Youth Dual Fusion Water. Dr Brandt recommends using Do Not Age Pearl Serum, a universal serum, before your moisturizer.

Selected Ingredients and Attributes:
  • Red Rose-Wine, Pro-Taurine, and Osmanthus Flower: Minimize stress and inflammation, detoxify skin cells, and protect skin from external aggressions.
  • Murmuru, Shea, And Kokum Butters: Hydrate and protect against moisture loss.

    1. Thanks, Ursula! I am so glad that you loved this review! These products are most definitely worth trying out. It takes me forever to use up full size skincare products, but I am sure that these will both be finished and purchased!

  3. I confess to being completely confused about the usage of micellular water. What's the big deal?

    1. Not everyone loves micellar water, or feels the need to use them, but I really love them and have been using them for a long time. I find them very refreshing, and such a nice and gentle way to clean the skin and remove makeup.

    2. So, they replace your cleanser? Somehow I thought they were a toner.

    3. I don't use it to replace my cleanser except when I am exhausted and don't have the energy to wash my face. On those nights, I just use a micellar water to remove everything and then fall into bed. When that isn't the case I either use it to remove makeup before washing my face (instead of a cleansing oil). Other times, I use it after washing my face as a toner, and I often use them on a cotton ball during the day if I want to refresh my skin, or remove makeup to test out other makeup. They also work really well to remove swatches. Micellar water is a nice-to-have multipurpose product.

    1. Hi Jo, I definitely think that it is. These are the only products that I have tried from the XYY range, but I definitely want to try the eye cream was well. The literature doesn't suggest a targeted age group, but it is an antioxidant rich, and moisturizing, line that is quite effective.
