HH Science Green Tea Cleanser Review

Press Sample (Unaffiliated Links)

I have used quite a few products from HH Science, and I am consistently impressed by the quality of their skincare. I have been using the HH Science Green Tea Cleanser, and think that it is an excellent choice to gently and effectively exfoliate dead skin cells. It is formulated for all types of skin, including sensitive skin, and it cleanses and exfoliates without drying and irritating the skin. It contains no harsh exfoliating particles, but this lactic and fruit acid-infused cleanser removes dead skin cells without scratching and irritating the skin. The clear gel forms a very satisfying lather, and it rinses clean without stripping the skin. The Aloe Vera juice, its first ingredient, effectively hydrates the skin, and prevents it from becoming dry and irritated. HH Science states to avoid direct contact with the eyes and mouth, and that is important since the lactic and fruit acids should not be used in those areas. I only use this cleanser once or twice a week for my normal/combination skin because I do not require more exfoliation than that provides.

According to HH Science,

Cleanse, exfoliate, calm, and soothe even the most sensitive skin with this gentle, soap-free cleanser. Infused with green tea, natural honey lactic acid, aloe, and natural fruit acids. May help clear acne, redness, discoloration, dullness and dryness while leaving your skin exfoliated and clean.

Formulated to improve the appearance of:

  • Dryness
  • Dullness 
  • Discoloration
  • Redness
  • Acne 

Directions: Apply a moderate amount of cleanser morning and evening to wet skin on the face and neck and massage gently, avoiding direct contact with mouth and eyes. Rinse the face clean with lukewarm water and towel dry.

CAUTION: For external use only. Do not ingest. Avoid direct contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.

Ingredients: Aloe Vera Juice, Cocamidopropyl Betaine (from Coconut), Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate Honeyquat, Lactic Acid, Soy Milk Powder, Green Tea Extract, Honey, Ethylhexyglycerin, Phenoxyethanol, Tetra Sodium, and Dead Sea Salt.

Overall Assessment: This is a very nice, and gentle, exfoliating cleanser.

Press Sample (Unaffiliated Links)

HH Science Lip Stay Matte Liquid Lipstick is a lightweight and highly pigmented matte liquid lipstick formula that is comfortable to wear, and that I don't find drying on my lips.

HH Science Effortless Perfect Cover Plus Concealer Review

Press Sample (Unaffiliated Links)

I have been using HH Science skincare, and I really love the high quality of their products. What I had not tried until very recently is their makeup, and I am so please to share some of these products with you. The first product that I tried was the HH Science Effortless Perfect Cover Plus, which is a hydrating concealer that can also be used to contour. It has a creamy and emollient consistency, but it is very lightweight. It glides across the skin effortlessly, deposits pigment perfectly and it doesn't highlight pores. It offers highly pigmented coverage, but with a light hand it offers minimal coverage. The twist up applicator requires no sharpening, and it can be applied directly to the skin, or you can use a brush for more precise application. It also blends to perfection.

It is available in a limited range of shades: Fair, Beige and Medium Deep, and therefore people with lighter and darker complexions won't find a shade that works for them. The formula is so great that I really hope that they expand their range of colors.

According to HH Science,

Conceal, cover, correct, and contour with these lightweight, easy-to-blend pencils that conveniently twist up and don’t require sharpening.

Claims:

Protect: Infused with Iron Oxides and Titanium Dioxide to naturally protect skin from UVA/UVB rays.

Perfects Antioxidant Infused Formula: perfects skin for a flawless finish. 

Soothes Skin: Infused with Vitamin E- known for its calming and antioxidant properties. 

Highlight+ Brighten Highlight: Light diffusing minerals naturally highlight.

Brightens Under Eyes: Natural Skin Brightening Plant Extracts instantly reduce the appearance of under-eye darkness and help brighten the under-eye area over time.

Hydrate: Glides on Smoothly: Shea Butter provides a creamy, emollient texture that glides on smoothly without tugging the delicate under-eye skin. 

Moisturizes and Comforts: Vitamin E helps soften skin and boost hydration for comfortable all-day wear.

Conceals: Undetectable Full Coverage: Weightless, high pigment concealer covers any imperfections on the face. 

Blurs Imperfections: Spherical Blurring Powders optically blur imperfections and smooth the appearance of skin.

Contour: Add flawless definition effortlessly.

Ingredients: Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate, Polyethylene, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Nylon-12, Silica, Phenoxyethanol, Tocopherol, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii Butter), [+/- (May Contain): Mica (CI 77019), Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499)].

Overall Assessment: I really like this as a concealer, but Beige is a little dark for my complexion and think that a mixture of Beige and Fair would be a better match for me– especially under my eyes, but the formula is excellent.

HH Science Clinical Strength + Clean Instant Eye Lift on Sale!

Press Sample (Unaffiliated Links)

HH Science Clinical Strength + Clean Instant Eye Lift on sale! Normally $119.00, it is currently on sale for $59.99. HH Science was gracious enough to include Lola's Secret Beauty Blog in their most recent catalog (pictured above).

With over 40 years of experience in both medical and cosmetic dermatology, board-certified dermatologist Helen M. Torok, MD, who is the Medical Director of the Trillium Creek Dermatology Center in Ohio and co-founder of HH Science, has launched a new eye cream.

According to Dr. Torok, "Using a dermatologist tested fragrance-free eye cream with clinical strength + clean anti-glycation ingredients like green tea, hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, and skin firming peptides is key to achieving ageless eyes.” explains Helen M. Torok, MD, Medical Director of the Trillium Creek Dermatology Center in OH and co-founder of HH Science.

She asserts, "The skin is naturally thinner around our eyes and as a result this is where we tend to show our age first. Glycation is a natural process that occurs as you age, starting around the age of 20. Excess sugar in your body begins to bind with fats and proteins, creating compounds called advanced glycation end products, or AGEs. Even though aging is a natural process, there are some external factors that accelerate the process like diet, sun exposure, smoking, stress, and lifestyle choices. AGE’s tend to gravitate and latch on to proteins like collagen and elastin which are key to keeping skin firm, plump and supple. Over time, this creates fine lines, wrinkles, and makes the skin appear dull, dry, and uneven which can be combated with daily use of an eye cream with clinically effective and bioavailable anti-glycation ingredients.”

HH Science’s Clinical Strength + Clean Instant Eye Lift is formulated with optical diffusers and Peptides since they firm, brighten, and smooth fine lines. This formula contains powerful skin firming peptides coupled with anti-glycation ingredients, and potent antioxidants. Together they make skin appear more firm, smooth fine lines and wrinkles, and visibly reduce the appearance of dark circles. Furthermore, this gem of an eye cream provides essential hydration while the optical diffusers brighten the delicate skin around the eyes. This cream formula is lightweight, ultra-emollient and it melts into the skin with ease. It neither contains fragrance, nor does it have any sort of aroma. Therefore, it causes no irritation to my sensitive eyes.

According to HH Science,

Powerful, skin-firming peptides pair with anti-glycation ingredients and potent antioxidants to help restore skin firmness, smooth fine lines, and wrinkles and visibly reduce dark circles. Delivers essential hydration while optical diffusers immediately brighten the delicate skin around the eyes.

Features & Benefits:

  • Hydrates, plumps, and visibly reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and crow's feet

  • Supports healthy elastin and collagen production

Hypo-allergenic, Non-Comedogenic, Fragrance-Free, Paraben Free, Gluten Free, Oil-Free, and Cruelty-Free.

Directions: Apply AM/PM after cleansing, gently patting on the orbital bone and the area around the eyes.

Ingredients: Purified Water, Isohexadecane, Beeswax, Dimethicone, HDI/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer, Glycerin, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone, Hexyl Laurate, Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate, C18-21 Alkane, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Dipeptide-2, Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Arbutin, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate.

HH Science Needle Free Serum Review

Press Sample (Unaffiliated Links)

HH Science Needle Free Serum is formulated to soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by plumping and softening them. I cannot compare its efficacy to that of fillers– because I have never sought out fillers– but I can say that this serum does temporarily plump the skin and therefore decreases the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Hyaluronic Acid plumps fine lines and offers serious hydration, and HH Science asserts that regular use improves/reactivates collagen and elastin synthesis. Niacimide is known to help reduce inflammation and the appearance of hyperpigmentation, as well as improving the overall texture of the skin, and therefore it works quite well in conjunction with Hyaluronic Acid. 

This clear serum has a watery consistency, it has no aroma, and it melts into the skin immediately. While I do not have deep wrinkles, I do I have some expression lines, and I definitely note a softening and plumping effect in those areas after using this serum for about 1 1/2 weeks. I apply it to my face and neck once a day, and as directed I avoid the eye area. My skin is left plumped, hydrated and luminous.

According to HH Science,

This advanced formula contains a powerful proline lysine copper complex, Hyaluronic Acid, and Niacinamide to fight against visible signs of aging and may improve the look of youthful skinThe revolutionary combination of ingredients delivers equivalent results to one injection of collagen filler in just two weeks of regular use by reactivating collagen and elastin synthesis.

Claims:

  • Reduces wrinkle appearance and volume by 15% in only 2 weeks
  • Firmness increased by 13 times in 15 days
  • A painless, topical alternative to Injectable fillers and toxins
  • 190% Increase in elastin production after 11 days
  • 179% Increase in collagen I production, and 194% Increase in collagen Ill production after 11 days
  • 85% increase in hyaluronic acid synthesis
  • 50% decrease in skin laxity after 28 days
  • Improvements sustained after two months of treatment
  • 80% inhibition of MMP enzyme activity (types 1 and 2)
  • Improves the skin's barrier function and shows a reduction in the appearance of rosacea over a 12-week period

Directions: Apply 4 to 5 drops onto your fingers and smooth over the face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Allow absorbing before applying additional products that can be used twice a day or as directed by a physician.

Ingredients: Water, Glycerin, Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), Sodium Chondroitin Sulfate, Methyl Glucoside Phosphate Proline Lysine Copper Complex, Glycosaminoglycans, Bambusa Vulgaris (Bamboo) Leaf/Stem Extract, Pisum Sativum (Pea) Extract, Glucosamine HCl, Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid), Panthenol (Pro-vitamin B5), Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Polysorbate 20, Disodium EDTA.

Overall Assessment: I really like the way that this serum plumps fine lines and leaves my skin hydrated and luminous. As noted, I can't compare its efficacy to that of fillers since I have never tried fillers, but I like the way my skin looks and feels after using this serum, and I assure you that I will use this bottle down to the last drop.

It melts into the skin, leaves behind no white residue, it leaves skin luminous and it works well with makeup. While it is an effective sunscreen, that is only true if you reapply it as recommended.

        HH Science Clinical Strength + Clean Instant Eye Lift Review

        Press Sample (Unaffiliated Links)

        With over 40 years of experience in both medical and cosmetic dermatology, board-certified dermatologist Helen M. Torok, MD, who is the Medical Director of the Trillium Creek Dermatology Center in Ohio and co-founder of HH Science, has launched a new eye cream.

        According to Dr. Torok, "Using a dermatologist tested fragrance-free eye cream with clinical strength + clean anti-glycation ingredients like green tea, hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, and skin firming peptides is key to achieving ageless eyes.” explains Helen M. Torok, MD, Medical Director of the Trillium Creek Dermatology Center in OH and co-founder of HH Science.

        She asserts, "The skin is naturally thinner around our eyes and as a result this is where we tend to show our age first. Glycation is a natural process that occurs as you age, starting around the age of 20. Excess sugar in your body begins to bind with fats and proteins, creating compounds called advanced glycation end products, or AGEs. Even though aging is a natural process, there are some external factors that accelerate the process like diet, sun exposure, smoking, stress, and lifestyle choices. AGE’s tend to gravitate and latch on to proteins like collagen and elastin which are key to keeping skin firm, plump and supple. Over time, this creates fine lines, wrinkles, and makes the skin appear dull, dry, and uneven which can be combated with daily use of an eye cream with clinically effective and bioavailable anti-glycation ingredients.”

        HH Science’s Clinical Strength + Clean Instant Eye Lift is formulated with optical diffusers and Peptides since they firm, brighten, and smooth fine lines. This formula contains powerful skin firming peptides coupled with anti-glycation ingredients, and potent antioxidants. Together they make skin appear more firm, smooth fine lines and wrinkles, and visibly reduce the appearance of dark circles. Furthermore, this gem of an eye cream provides essential hydration while the optical diffusers brighten the delicate skin around the eyes. This cream formula is lightweight, ultra-emollient and it melts into the skin with ease. It neither contains fragrance, nor does it have any sort of aroma. Therefore, it causes no irritation to my sensitive eyes.

        According to HH Science,
