Revisiting an Old Friend: Colbert MD Intensify Facial Disks

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

Five years ago I fell head-over-heels in love with Colbert MD skincare, and while I have loved many other brands since then, I keep returning to this wonderful line of dermatologist created products. From the first moment that I tried the Colbert MD Intensify Facial Disks, I was hooked– and that love persists unabated.

One of the key components to healthy luminous skin is the requisite amount of exfoliation. Too little and skin looks dull and listless, too much and skin becomes damaged and traumatized. Ideally, using an effective exfoliator on a weekly basis and judiciously using (and reapplying) an SPF 30 or higher will go a long way to maintaining healthy skin and the highly sought after youthful radiance.

I have regularly used various types of facial exfoliating pads for many years, and have to confess that my experience with Colbert MD Intensify Facial Disks was a real game changer for me all of those years ago. While most of the solution soaked exfoliating pads that I have used are thin and double sided, Colbert MD has reimagined its form and instead has opted for a very plush and thick single sided pad. The generously saturated pre-moistened disks include a small tab on the back that makes holding the disk easy, and allows one to maintain effortless control.

The combination of the mild microdermabrasion action from the surface of the pad coupled with the enzyme action of the solution immediately and effectively encourages cell turnover that aids in the promotion of collagen production. Skin, unobstructed by a proliferation of dead skin cells, is then able to effortlessly and effectively absorb skincare products. The end result is unbelievably soft, smooth, supple and luminous skin.

According to Colbert MD,

Plush, pre-moistened exfoliating discs encourage cell renewal and enhance the effectiveness of Colbert MD’s daily products.

With gentle microdermabrasion, Intensify Facial Discs assist in skin’s natural repair process by removing dead cells and providing a fresh new luminosity.

Apply to a clean, damp face in a gentle, circular motion, continuing for 30 to 60 seconds. Rinse immediately with water. Follow with Stimulate The Serum. Use morning or night, one to three times a week, as recommended for skin type.

*Intensify Facial Discs have been specially formulated for use one to three times a week, depending on skin type. Delicate skin use once a week or bi-weekly, as tolerated.

Key Ingredients:

Bromelain:A concentrated form of pineapple enzyme that eliminates dull skin, dryness and environmental toxins.

Lactic Acid: A gentle natural exfoliant that reduces fine lines, wrinkles, age spots and hyper-pigmentation.

Glucosamine: Increases production of hyaluronic acid, leading to better hydrated, “plumper” and more youthful skin.

Ingredients: Aqua, Glycerin, Decyl Glucoside, Bromelain, Allantoin, Acetyl Glucosamine, Gluconolactone, Chlorhexidine Digluconate, Potassium Sorbate, Phenoxyethanol, Parfum.

RINSE THOROUGHLY WITH WATER. AVOID EYE AREA. DO NOT USE ON IRRITATED OR DAMAGED SKIN. DISCONTINUE USE IF PROLONGED SKIN IRRITATION OCCURS.

Overall Assessment: Colbert MD Intensify Facial Disks offer very effective at-home mild microdermabrasion treatment with noticeable results. The innovative user-friendly design ensures efficacy and control over the disks themselves, and this makes using them truly effortless.

Colbert MD Uplift Eye Serum | Review

Purchased (Affiliate Links)

I have used, and loved, Colbert MD skincare for many years now, and yet I somehow neglected to feature Colbert MD Uplift Eye Serum. I have used this serum since about 2015, and I because have repurchased it a few times I thought that I should review it for you.

This is a lightweight and fast absorbing serum that is formulated to reduce puffiness, to treat dark circles, to soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and to moisturize the delicate skin in the orbital area of the eyes. It tightens and lifts the skin, without feeling taut or uncomfortable, and it does not leave behind an oily residue that interferes with your eye cream or makeup.

Colbert MD's patented Triad Delivery System effectively and efficiently, "delivers plant extracts to the dermis" and leaves the skin feeling refreshed, soothed and nourished. I apply a tiny bit to the orbital area, in the morning and the night, and then apply my eye cream for added moisture. I definitely see a difference is the texture and appearance of my eyes when I use it, and consider it one of the very best eye serums on the market (which is precisely why I keep purchasing it).

Key Benefits:
- Combats signs of ageing in the delicate eye area
- Patented Triad Delivery System delivers plant actives to dermis
- Horse chestnut extract reduces puffiness
- Phytomoist retains moisture
- Reduces appearance of wrinkles

According to Colbert MD,

A powerful anti-aging eye serum. Formulated with a potent selection of active ingredients. Developed with unique Triad Delivery System for effective delivery of ingredients. Helps reduce the look of puffiness, dark circles and other signs of aging. Soothes and calms the delicate eye area. Unveils a firmer, softer, more vibrant and younger looking eye zone.

Directions: Gently massage onto eye area with ring finger morning and night.

Key Ingredients:
- Fucus Vesiculosus: An Algae extract that targets the enzyme heme oxygenase-1, a major cause of dark circles.
- Aescin: A Horse Chestnut extract soothes and calms the delicate eye area.
- Glycyrrhetinic Acid: A Licorice extract that is known for its brightening properties.
- Phytomoist: An incredibly rich moisturizer that binds water to the skin’s surface, protecting against dehydration.

Ingredients: Water, Butylene Glycol, Peg-12 Glyceryl Dimyristate, Peg-23 Glycerl Distearate Capryl Glycol, Xanthan Gum, Ascorbyl Glucoside, Carnitine Hcl, Sodium Acrylodimethyl Taurate, Phenoxyethanol, Glycereth-12, Glyceryl Cocoate, Isohexadecane, Caffein, Carbomer, Glycerin, Sodium Hydroxide, Potassium Sorbate, Algae Extract, Betaine, Sodium Benzoate, Hexylene Glycol, Glycyrihetinic Acid, Tremella Fuciformis Sporocarp Extract.

Overall Assessment: This is at least my third bottle, and definitely not my last. If you are seeking an effective eye serum, then this one is definitely worthy of your consideration.

Colbert MD Soothe Night Cream Revisited | Review

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

If you are seeking an ultra soothing and comforting face cream that is capable of working wonders on very irritated skin, then Colbert MD Soothe Night Cream is definitely worthy of your consideration. I have used this cream for years, and thought that I would revisit this effective nighttime treatment this fall and winter. It addresses a variety of concerns ranging from dry and irritated skin to particularly inflamed and reactive skin (post peel or post microdermabrasion), to Rosacea flareups. 

While my skin is decidedly normal to combination, it can be reactive, and the shift to colder weather can wreak havoc on my skin. When I want extra moisture, and a potent anti-aging night cream that works wonders on inflamed and irritated skin, Colbert MD Soothe Night Cream is one of my favorite moisturizers of choice. It is ultra-soothing, luxuriously rich in moisture, and exceedingly lightweight. It sinks into skin quickly and leaves skin luminous and deeply moisturized. Furthermore, fine lines are plumped and skin is left soft, smooth and supple.

Colbert MD Soothe Night Cream really excels in its considerable ability to combat inflamed, irritated and red skin. Each time that I have a peel or microdermabrasion, my finicky skin can become reactive and red, and Soothe Night Cream eradicates the irritation and redness almost immediately. Additionally, it leaves skin feeling soothed and comforted. While the results are nearly immediate, one really sees a noticeable difference the following morning.

The silky smooth texture of the cream is very emollient and luxurious to the touch, and it truly a decadent treat to use. If you love high quality skincare products that are luxe in every way, then this cream is definitely a worthy contender.

While I do not have Rosacea, a good friend of mine does, and this is her longtime cream of choice. She has been through countless jars, and wouldn't even consider using another night cream because her results are so pronounced. She claims that this cream keeps her Rosacea in check, and that when she uses this cream each night she is able to stave off flareups. I should also note that she uses a very short list of products, and does not experiment with lots of different products, and very seldom does she introduce new products into her skincare routine. She doesn't want to tip the balance that she has found by introducing new products that might cause a flareup.

According to Colbert MD,

Improve the skin’s softness and pigmentation with Colbert MD Soothe Night. This skincare lotion is a highly effective anti-inflammatory that promotes the cells’ natural production of hyaluronic acid. Regular use will result in plumper-looking, hydrated and more youthful skin.

This rich, luxurious cream is applied to the skin to provide a healing environment that calms irritation and reverses environmental damage by encouraging the skin’s natural healing process. Hydration penetrates deeply into the skin to restore the natural radiance and encourage the production of new cells.

The unique Triad Delivery System carries essential nutrients in their active state deep into the skin. The cream works overnight, helping to establish supple, hydrated and youthful-looking skin.

Suggested Use Apply nightly to a clean face after Stimulate The Serum.

Claims:

• Deep hydration

• Triad Delivery System delivers nutrients deep into the skin

• Calms and soothes irritation

• Reduces hyper-pigmentation, resulting in a more youthful glow

• Reverses environmental damage by encouraging the natural healing process

Key Ingredients:

Purified Angelica Sinensis: A plant first recorded in 400BC, it’s been treasured for centuries as a highly effective anti-inflammatory.

Glucosamine: Promotes the natural synthesis of hyaluronic acid, leading to better hydrated, “plumper” and more youthful skin.

African Shea Nut Butter: Provides essential hydration. Calms irritation and visibly improves skin’s softness and pigmentation.

Colbert MD Illumino Anti-Aging Brightening Mask | Review

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

There is no question that sheet masks have become wildly popular in the last few years, and they are available for a wide variety of targeted concerns, and at an equally wide range of price points.  It has been my experience that  many of them do little more than just hydrate my skin– which is great– but there are a few that do far more than that, and that is precisely what I experienced with Colbert MD Illumino Anti-Aging Brightening Mask.

Colbert MD Illumino Anti-Aging Brightening Mask is a concentrated Bio Cellulose mask that was conceived to brighten, smooth and hydrate the skin while plumping fine lines, reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation, and by encouraging skin cell turnover. I definitely noticed that my skin had an unprecedented luminosity, that my skin had a pronounced clarity and that fine lines were plumped. I don't have a lot of hyperpigmentation, but I can attest to the fact that this mask gently exfoliates dead skin cells to reveal beautifully glowing skin, and after repeated use it should have no problem reducing the appearance of dark spots.

It is important to note that Colbert MD is exceedingly generous with the amount of serum used in each mask, and that you want to be mindful not to throw away the packet before using all of the serum that pools at the bottom of each pouch.

Whether you want your skin to look red carpet ready, or you just want to pamper yourself– this is a really exceptional quality mask that makes a pronounced difference in the appearance of your skin. To really take the glow to the next level, I like to use Colbert MD Illumino Face Oil (Reviewed HERE) in conjunction with the Illumino Mask, and my skin looks so dewy, refreshed and luminous that one might think that I had a professional peel to get these results.

According to Colbert MD,

Utilizes our unique Triad Delivery System™ to rejuvenate damaged, tired skin. Visibly reduces dark spots and skin imperfections, stimulates skin cell renewal and regenerates the skin. Ideal as a pre-treatment before makeup application and/or as post-laser recovery treatment.

Directions: Apply the mask day or night on cleansed skin twice per week. First remove the protective white film and place the mask on the face, starting from the chin. Gently peel off the mesh and adjust the position for the eyes and mouth. Press gently with both hands to adhere. Remove the mask after 15 minutes, do not rinse. Massage the remaining serum into the skin.

Key Ingredients and their Attributes:

• Niacinamide Influences skin pigmentation by down-regulating melanin production, reducing the appearance of dark spots and hyper-pigmentation.
• Swiftlet Nest Extract Promotes skin regeneration, and acts as skin barrier and prevents water loss.
• Lactic Acid A gentle natural exfoliant that helps to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, age spots and hyperpigmentation.
• Symcalmin® Calms and soothes the skin. Helps reduce blotchiness.
• Hyaluronic Acid Increases hydration and improves skin’s elasticity.

Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Propylene Glycol, Peg-12 Glyceryl Dimyristate, Niacinamide, Phenoxyethanol, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Tocopherol Acetate, Glycerin, Algin, Chlorphenesin, Butylene Glycol, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/Vp Copolymer, Olea Europaea (Olive) Husk Oil, Pentylene Glycol, O-Cymen-5-Ol, Fragrance, Sodium Hyaluronate, Ethoxydiglycol, Hydroxyphenyl Propamidobenzoic Acid, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Glucose, Lactic Acid, Swiftlet Nest Extract, Caprylyl Glycol, Caramel, Sodium Benzoate, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Potassium Sorbate, Caprylhydrocamic Acid, Bisabolol, Tocopherol.

Precautions For Use: Do Not Use On Irritated Or Damaged Skin. Discontinue Use If Prolonged Skin Irritation Occurs.

Overall Assessment: This is unquestionably one of the most effective sheet masks that I have tried, and it does so much more than simply hydrate my skin. If you are looking to try a sheet mask that takes the whole sheet mask experience to the next level, then I highly recommend trying Colbert MD Illumino Anti-Aging Brightening Mask. A+

Colbert MD Balance Purifying Cleanser | Review

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

Colbert MD is an ultra-luxe skincare line that is the creation of critically acclaimed dermatologist, and founder of New York Dermatology Group, Dr. David Colbert. I have been using Dr. Colbert's skincare for many years now, and it steadfastly remains one of my very favorite skincare lines. This carefully edited collection features the highest quality products that boast enviably efficacy, delectable textures, and they are a true joy to use.

Colbert MD Balance Purifying Cleanser is an antioxidant-rich gel-based cleanser that is ultra refreshing, and it neither strips the skin, nor is it left taut and uncomfortable. The gel is itself transformed into a light lather with the introduction of water, and it provides the skin with gentle, mom-irritating exfoliation without any gritty exfoliating particles. Instead, Lactic Acid gently removes dead skin cells, while Ginkgo Biloba purifies the skin and provides natural anti-bacterial benefits. Furthermore, Allantoin, an anti-irritant, protects the skin while Bisabolol soothes and calms the skin.

I use this cleanser one of two ways: I apply it directly to my face and allow it to sit as a mask for a few minuted to allow the Lactic Acid to remove and dissolve dead skin cells, and then I apply warm water and gently massage in a circular motion to my face, neck and décolleté. When I don't need extra exfoliation, I simply apply a modest amount to my hands and activate the light lather before massaging it into my damp face, neck and décolleté. With either method, my skin is left silky-smooth, supple and as soft as a baby's bottom.

According to Colbert MD,

A refreshing cleanser with anti-aging benefits. The perfect preparation for the Colbert MD regimen.

Gently removes oil and surface impurities while providing a daily concentration of anti-aging benefits. Leaves skin smooth, supple and clean. 

Directions: Apply in a circular motion to damp face. Rinse well with warm water and pat dry.

Key Ingredients & Their Attributes:

• Ginkgo Biloba: Purifies skin while providing anti-oxidant and anti-bacterial benefits.
• Lactic Acid: Provides gentle daily exfoliation.
• Allantoin: Acts as an anti-irritant and protector while enabling healthy cell growth.
• Bisabolol: Soothes, conditions and balances complexion.

Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocoamidopropyl Betaine, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Disodium Cocoamphodipropionate, Lauryl Glucoside, Polyquaternium-10, Phenoxyethanol, Aloe Barbadensis Gel, Sodium Chloride, Peg-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Ppg-26-Buteth-26, Lactic Acid, Capryl Glycol, Fragrance (Parfum), Sodium Levulinate, Chlorphenesin, Allantoin, Panthenol, Polysorbate 20, Sodium Anisate, Menthol, Ginkgo Biloba Extract, Camelia Sinensis Extract, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Disodium Edta, Retinyl Palmitate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Salicylic Acid, Sorbic Acid, Bisabolol, Capylic/Capric Triglyceride, Retinol, Bht, Limonene, Linalool.

Overall Assessment: Colbert MD Balance Purifying Cleanser is one of my favorite, most loved and used cleansers, to date. It is very concentrated– therefore this 5 oz. tube will last you a very long time! Another A+ product from Colbert MD.

Colbert MD Tone Control Facial Disks | Review

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

As I have stated numerous times in these virtual pages, one of the key components to healthy luminous skin is the requisite amount of exfoliation. Too little and skin looks dull and listless, too much and skin becomes damaged and traumatized. Ideally, using an effective exfoliator on a weekly basis and judiciously using (and reapplying) an SPF 30 or higher will go a long way to maintaining healthy skin and the highly sought after youthful radiance.

I have regularly used various types of facial exfoliating pads for quite some time, and have to confess that my experience with Colbert MD Intensify Facial Disks was a real game changer for me. Most of the solution soaked exfoliating pads that I have used are thin and double sided, Colbert MD has broken this mold by opting for a very plush and thick single-sided pad. The generously saturated pre-moistened disks include a small tab on the back that makes holding them very easy, and it allows one to maintain effortless control.

While I thought that I had achieved exfoliating pad nirvana with the Colbert MD Intensify Facial Disks, I discovered that Colbert MD Tone Control Facial Disks are a whole different level of paradigm shifting exfoliating pads. Not only do these pre-moistened disks provide effective, and gentle, microdermabrasion from the surface texture of the pad, but they also encourage cell turnover that aids in the promotion of collagen production. Skin, unobstructed by a proliferation of dead skin cells, is then able to effortlessly and effectively absorb skincare products. The end result is unbelievably silky soft, smooth, supple and luminous skin. Additionally, Colbert MD Tone Control Facial Disks are saturated with ingredients that even out skin tone, lighten dark spots (hyperpigmentation), soothe redness and brighten the complexion. 

Key Features, Ingredients and Their Attributes:

• SkinBright TDS™(Triad Delivery System™) a highly effective tyrosinase inhibitor, lightens dark spots and evens skin tone.
• Inflacin An anti-inflammatory molecule which soothes irritation and redness by blocking the PLA2 enzyme.
• Phytomoist QuSome A moisturizing agent which is 400 times as moisturizing as Sodium Hyaluronate.
• Environment Protective Complex A trio of defenses against environmental stressors: Coenzyme Q10 protects skin from UV damage, Genistein blocks free radicals and Lipoic Acid Omega 6 Oil replenishes essential fatty acids.

Directions: Apply to a clean, damp face in a gentle circular motion for 30 – 60 seconds. Do not rinse off. Follow with Soothe Night Cream or Nutrify & Protect Day Cream.

Ingredients: Water (Aqua), PEG-12 Glyceryl Dimyristate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Butylene Glycol, Glucosamine, PEG-23 Glyceryl Distearate, Phenylethyl Resorcinol, Glycerin, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Glycereth-12, Glyceryl Cocoate, Fragrance, Sodium Benzoate, Betaine, D-Limone, Lipoic Acid, Linalool, Ubiquinone, Glycyrrhetinic Acid, Genistein, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Tocopherol, Potassium Sorbate, Tremella Fuciformis Sporocarp Extract 

Precautions for use: Avoid eye area. do not use on irritated or damaged skin. Discontinue use if prolonged skin irritation occurs.

Overall Assessment: Sometimes it really does take a world renown dermatologist to create the perfect at-home exfoliating disks, and the Colbert MD Tone Control Facial Disks are proof positive of this. If you not only seek to exfoliate dead skin cells, but also want to fade dark spots and improve the overall texture and radiance of your skin, then you owe it to yourself to try this product. It is definitely an expensive luxury skincare line, but I know people who cut these disks in half and make the box last twice as long.

Colbert MD Illumino Body Oil | Review

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

If you have experienced the wonders of Colbert MD Illumino Face Oil (Reviewed Here), then you probably found yourself so in love with this beauty oil that you wanted to use it from head to toe, and thankfully Dr. Colbert did create Colbert MD Illumino Body Oil.

According to Dr. David Colbert, "Oils are naturally more gentle than most anti-aging products because they deliver the active ingredients deep into the skin without irritating the surface, and they create a dewy glow that lasts all day."

Oils tend to penetrate the skin deeper than traditional lotions and creams because they are lipophilic which allows them to pass through the lipid layer of the skin unobstructed, and this delivers moisture deeper and prevents water loss while simultaneously plumping the skin. Since oils offer a better delivery system than traditional creams and lotions, those with active ingredients (vitamins, retinols, anti-inflammatory ingredients, etc.) are delivered more efficiently and without irritating the surface of the skin. Additionally, oils create a protective occlusive barrier, and are said to protect the skin's acid mantle which means that by bolstering the skin's lipid barrier the skin is more protected against external environmental assaults. The essential fatty acids found in face oils replenish moisture levels, deliver deep hydration, and give skin a healthy glow while offering additional protection. 

Colbert MD Illumino Body Oil is an antioxidant rich and ultra nourishing body oil that is neither too watery, nor too thick in consistency. When applied to warm, damp skin it sinks in immediately, and visibly bolsters hydration. Skin is left velvety soft, supple, hydrated and deliciously luminous. In addition to the pronounced radiance the skin experiences from this outstanding oil, it also improves its overall texture. 

The oils selected by Dr. Colbert create a perfect cocktail that aids in cell repair, improves skin tone and texture, improves elasticity, improves suppleness, improves hydration, bolsters skin barrier function, and deeply nourishes. Illumino Body Oil has a light pleasant scent, that appears to be a fusion of the natural oils used, but it does fade quickly, and therefore won't pose a problem for people with sensitivities to fragrant skincare products.

According to Colbert MD,

A nourishing body oil that penetrates deeply to instantly hydrate and calm the skin. Visibly improves elasticity and suppleness while instantly hydrating and nourishing skin. A uniquely weightless formulation that soothes and softens the skin and provides a distinct glow.

Key Ingredients:
Marula Oil Infused with Oleic Acid: which aids in hydration and skin barrier function.
Argan Oil: A deeply penetrating antioxidant rich in Vitamin E.
Yangu Oil Improves skin’s elasticity, suppleness.
Passion Fruit Oil: Improves skin’s elasticity while acting as an antioxidant.
Borage Seed Oil: A rich source of Gamma Linoleic Acid (GLA) which aids in cell repair and improves skin’s overall tone and texture.

Ingredients: Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Passiflora Incarnata Seed Oil, Calodendrum Capense Seed Oil, Peg-12 Glyceryl Dimyristate, Borago Officinalis Seed Oil, Fragrance, Retinyl Palmitate, Ascorbic Palmitate.

Overall Assessment: Illumino Body Oil is among the most exquisite body oils I have ever used. It really is that amazing. A+

Colbert MD Soothe Night Cream | Review

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

I have recently received a large number of requests for the recommendation of an ultra soothing and comforting face cream that is capable of working wonders on very irritated skin. The variety of concerns ranged from dry and irritated skin from the recent cold weather, to particularly inflamed and reactive skin (post peel or post microdermabrasion), to Rosacea flareups. 

While my skin is decidedly normal to combination, it can be reactive, and the shift to colder weather can wreak havoc on my skin. When I want extra moisture, and a potent anti-aging night cream that works wonders on inflamed and irritated skin, Colbert MD Soothe Night Cream is my moisturizer of choice. It is ultra-soothing, luxuriously rich in moisture, and exceedingly lightweight. It sinks into skin quickly and leaves skin luminous and deeply moisturized. Furthermore, fine lines are plumped and skin is left soft, smooth and supple.

Colbert MD Soothe Night Cream really excels in its considerable ability to combat inflamed, irritated and red skin. Each time that I have a peel or microdermabrasion, my finicky skin can become reactive and red, and Soothe Night Cream eradicates the irritation and redness almost immediately. Additionally, it leaves skin feeling soothed and comforted. While the results are nearly immediate, one really sees a noticeable difference the following morning.

I would be remiss if I didn't convey the extent to which this cream is a joy to use. The silky smooth texture of the cream is very emollient and luxurious to the touch, and it truly a decadent treat to use. If you love high quality skincare products that are luxe in every way, then this is an absolute must-try cream.

While I do not have Rosacea, a good friend of mine does, and this is her longtime cream of choice. She has been through countless jars, and wouldn't even consider using another night cream because her results are so pronounced. She claims that this cream keeps her Rosacea in check, and that when she uses this cream each night she is able to stave off flareups.

Colbert MD Nutrify & Protect Day | Review

 Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

My love of Colbert MD skincare products has been well-documented in these virtual pages, and truth be told, I have never tried a single product from the line that I did not absolutely love. I have lots and lots of skincare products to choose from, and yet I use a few from Colbert MD on a daily basis. 

My latest Colbert MD obsession is the Nutrify & Protect Day, and what a sublime daytime moisturizer it is. It is an ultra silky smooth lotion that is lightweight, fast absorbing, and leaves behind no greasy film. It is remarkably nourishing and hydrating, and is well-suited for all skin types. This is an antioxidant-rich anti-aging powerbroker that fights free-radical damage, softened fine lines, and deeply hydrates even the most dehydrated skin. 

I have, without exaggeration, used this daytime moisturizer every single day since having opened it because the results are so impressive and visible. My skin looks and feels indescribably soft, supple, hydrated and luminous. My fine lines are softened and the texture of my skin is even with a beautiful radiance. I love that the texture is light without sacrificing any of the moisture associated with heavier creams, and that its very lightness leaves skin feeling comfortable without feeling burdened by a lingering heavy cream. It offers more than enough moisture for my normal to combination skin, and should for normal to dry skin types as well.

For a truly luxurious treat, that maximizes the benefits of Nutrify & Protect Day, I love to use it in conjunction with Colbert MD Stimulate the Serum (reviewed here) and Colbert MD Illumino Face Oil (reviewed here). This combination offers a level of moisture, nourishment and luminosity that I find difficult to achieve from most products, and the results last all day long. 

According to Colbert MD,

A nourishing daily moisturizer that protects skin against environmental damage. Utilizing QuSome™ technology, Nutrify & Protect Day performs at the cellular level of regeneration, delivering nutrients in their active state to the dermis as vibrant new skin is revealed.

Directions: Apply to a clean face once a day, or after using Stimulate The Serum. Use with sunscreen.

Attributes of Key Ingredients:

Tremella Mushroom: A hydrating, natural source of hyaluronic acid, Tremella extract plays a strong role in collagen synthesis.

Environment Protective Complex: A trio of defenses against environmental stressors: Coenzyme Q10 protects skin from UV damage, Genistein blocks free radicals and Lipoic Acid Omega 6 Oil replenishes essential fatty acids.

Tibetan Goji Berry: A rich source of vitamins, nutrients and anti-oxidants to prevent the premature signs of aging, this extract also aids in reversing sun damage.

Ingredients: Aqua, Neopentyl Glycol Diheptanoate, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Glycerin, Urea, C20-40 Pareth-3, Peg-23 Glyceryl Distearate 4, Silica, Oenothera Biennis Oil, Steareth-2, Chlorhexidine Digluconate, Caprylyl Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Hexylene Glycol, Peg-12 Glyceryl Dimyristate, Cetyl Alcohol, Tocopherol, Stearic Acid, Betaine, Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate/ Acrylamide, Copolymer, Isohexadecane, Polysorbate 80, Lecithin, Steareth-21, Carbomer, Panthenol, Linoleic Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Parfum, Phytosteryl Canola Glycerides, Potassium Sorbate, Palmitic Acid, Oleic Acid, Tremella Fuciformis Sporocarp Extract, Ubiquinone, Triolein, Glycyrrhetinic Acid, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Soy Isoflavones, Thioctic Acid, Lycium Barbarum Fruit Extract, Citral, Eugenol, Limonene, Linalool.

Overall Assessment: This is an extraordinarily high quality luxury daytime moisturizer that is as pleasant to use as it is effective. If you are seeking a new daytime moisturizer that really does what it claims to do, and delivers real results, then Colbert MD Nutrify & Protect Day is definitely worth your consideration. This is one of the very few moisturizers that I will definitely run out and purchase before I finish this bottle. I should also note that the sanitary pump dispenser is a brilliant means of protecting your investment from contamination, and it likewise makes it easy to travel with in an overnight bag.
