Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

Graydon Berry Rich Probiotic Face + Eye Cream is my latest love from this innovative brand, and I have to confess that I am quite obsessed with this gorgeous blue cream! Whether used alone, or in conjunction with the Graydon Berry Rich Probiotic Face + Eye Cream, this face and eye cream is a wonderfully nourishing moisturizer that is a perfect way to pamper the skin during the cold weather. It has a rich, thick and emollient texture, but it is remarkable fast absorbing. It leaves skin feeling deeply moisturized, velvety smooth, incredibly soft and quite hydrated. It brightens the skin, leaves behind no grease or pigmentation and it has a delightful faint aroma that fades immediately. This multipurpose cream can be used for as a face and eye cream, a daily or nightly moisturizer and can even be used as a deeply nourishing sleeping mask. The vegan probiotic formula boasts an antioxidant-rich blend of the highest quality ingredients that will pamper winter-worn skin, and it is a perfect choice for dry or mature skin. However, I have neither dry, nor mature skin, and this delectable cream works wonders on my normal/combination skin. This has also become one of my favorite eye creams!

According to Graydon,

As the name suggests this luxurious, probiotic face cream is infused with a plethora of superfood actives.

This velvety-rich face and eye cream includes a vegan probiotic to nourish and boost skin health. The addition of blueberry seed oil is a dream come true for dry, dehydrated, tired or mature skin since it helps diminish the look of fine lines, while strengthening your skin barrier, resulting in a more youthful complexion.

Infused with blue-green algae (also known as Blue Majik®), it is a powerhouse of amino acids, vitamins and minerals to nourish your skin. Mixed with antioxidant-rich cacao, this cream will help boost skin hydration, prevent water loss, and visibly brighten your face. The vegan probiotic helps optimize, maintain, restore bacteria in skin and help strengthen the skin barrier which makes it ideal for mature skin.

TIP: Mix with one of our water-based products like Face Food for maximum absorption, or Fullmoon Serum for additional superfood active ingredients! TIP #2: Leave on a thick layer overnight for a super hydrating overnight mask!

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

TULA, which means balance in Sanskrit, has the enviable mission, "to help women feel more balanced, beautiful, and confident" through their products and their community. TULA Founder, Dr. Raj, "discovered that probiotics and other superfoods could help naturally balance and boost the health of the skin, and that’s how TULA got started."

TULA posits that, "each...product nourishes your skin with a balanced meal of good-for-you ingredients, the same way a healthy diet nourishes your body." Furthermore, their luxurious formulations are such a treat to use, and they encourage one to slow down and savor their delectable textures while caring for their skin.

I have already waxed poetic about TULA in my review of their TULA Exfoliating Treatment Mask and TULA Hydrating Day & Night Cream because of their ability to deliver real results, and now I can make the same claim about the TULA Multi-Spectrum Overnight Skin Rescue Treatment and the TULA Urban Defense Hydrating Mist.

TULA Multi-Spectrum Overnight Skin Rescue Treatment ($85.00 for 1.67 oz. from TULA, Space NK, Nordstrom, Dermstore, TULA Official Amazon Store and QVC): This is a highly effective nighttime anti-aging treatment cream that utilizes the power of probiotics and peptides to rejuvenate the skin while you sleep.

Furthermore, this cream softens the appearance of fine lines, improves collagen synthesis, and leaves skin soft, smooth, more even in tone, supple and radiant. This cream has a very light rather fruity aroma, but it fades upon absorption.

TULA Urban Defense Hydrating Mist ($28.00 for 1 oz. from TULA, Space NK, TULA Official Amazon Store and Dermstore): I am thoroughly obsessed with face mists, and was therefore thrilled to try this one from TULA. The mist stream itself is not ultra-fine, and therefore you will only need one to two mists to cover your entire face, neck and décolleté.

On My Radar: TULA Skincare Duo for Radiant Skin | Review #Tula #SpaceNK

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

TULA, which means balance in Sanskrit, has the enviable mission, "to help women feel more balanced, beautiful, and confident" through their products and their community. TULA Founder, Dr. Raj, "discovered that probiotics and other superfoods could help naturally balance and boost the health of the skin, and that’s how TULA got started."

TULA combines probiotics with ultra-effective and clinically-proven, high-quality ingredients like Alpha Hydroxy Acids, retinols and antioxidants to ensure that their products are both safe and effective. TULA posits that, "each...product nourishes your skin with a balanced meal of good-for-you ingredients, the same way a healthy diet nourishes your body." Furthermore, their luxurious formulations are such a treat to use, and they encourage one to slow down and savor their delectable textures while caring for their skin.

Given my penchant for glowing skin, I wanted to share two TULA products from which luminous skin is achieved effortlessly. TULA Exfoliating Treatment Mask and TULA Hydrating Day & Night Cream deliver real results, and they do so instantaneously.

TULA Exfoliating Treatment Mask ($54.00 for 1.7 oz. from Space NK): This detoxifying mask, formulated with bentonite clay, gently exfoliates dead skin cells, lifts impurities and aids in clearing congested pores without stripping the skin of its essential oils. Unlike many clay-based masks, this one neither strips the skin, nor does it leave it taut, irritated and dry. Instead, skin is left soft, smooth, radiant and with a pronounced clarity.

According to TULA,

This fan-favorite is essential for an even, glowing complexion. Bentonite clay provides gentle exfoliation to deeply purify skin and remove impurities without stripping essential oils. Targeted probiotic technology combines with an antioxidant complex to strengthen skin’s natural defense, revealing healthier skin and clean pores. Lactic acid resurfaces dead skin and debris, while plant-based, biodegradable beads allow for physical exfoliation and also release hydrating nutrients including Jojoba and Vitamin E to heal and calm skin.

Key Benefits:
• Lifts off dead skin, draws out impurities, and promotes cell turnover to reveal a more even skin tone.
• Tocopherol (Vitamin E) and Camelina sativa seed oil have antioxidant actions that protect the skin and provide anti-aging effects.
• Patented probiotic technology protects against harmful bacteria and restores skin’s natural balance and texture.

Directions: Apply a thin layer of the Mask to clean, dry skin, avoiding the eye area. Leave on for five to ten minutes. Dampen your fingers and gently massage the product into your skin. Rinse off the entire mask using cool water. The mask is suitable for use two to three times per week. Suitable for oily, normal, combination, sensitive, mature skin.

Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Glycerin, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Bentonite, Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Kaolin, Octyldodecyl Neopentanoate, Sorbitan Stearate, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil, Camelina Sativa Seed Oil, Beeswax (Cera Alba), Vegetable Oil (Olus Oil), Ascorbic Acid, Lactic Acid, Lactose, Milk Protein, Bifida Ferment Lysate, Hydrolyzed Rice Bran Protein, Yogurt Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Cichorium Intybus (Chicory) Root Extract, Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract, Vaccinium Angustifolium (Blueberry) Fruit Extract, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Butylene Glycol, Volcanic Sand, Tocopherol Tocopheryl Acetate, Retinyl Palmitate, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Xanthan Gum, Decylene Glycol, Caprylyl Glycol, Polysorbate 20, Polysorbate 80, Pentylene Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Disodium EDTA, Tetrasodium EDTA, Bulnesia Sarmientoi Wood Oil, Cananga Odorata Flower Oil, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Oil, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Oil, Juniperus Mexicana Oil, Fragrance (Parfum), Sorbic Acid, 1,2-Hexanediol, Phenoxyethanol, Ultramarines (CI 77007), Chromium Hydroxide Green (CI 77289).

Formulated without Mineral Oil, Petrolium, Phthalates, Parabens, Gluten, Propylene Glycol. NO ANIMAL TESTING.

TULA Hydrating Day & Night Cream ($52.00 for 1.7 oz. from Space NK): This is a remarkably lightweight, and fast absorbing, cream that effectively delivers deep hydration to the skin instantaneously. Leaving skin soft, smooth, supple and radiant, TULA Hydrating Day & Night Cream plumps the skin and softens the appearance of fine lines, improves clarity and noticeably nourishes and moisturizes the skin. Dull, listless complexions give way to smooth and radiant skin, but since this formula actively aids skin cell turnover, and does not include an SPF, TULA suggests pairing it with a physical sunscreen (not chemical). This cream has no discernible fragrance, and therefore will not pose a problem for people with fragrance sensitivities.

My great discovery was pairing TULA Hydrating Day & Night Cream with TULA Exfoliating Treatment Mask because the mask effectively removes dead skin cells, which allows greater absorption of the cream, and therefore greater results are achieved with greater efficiency.

According to TULA,

Experience a breakthrough in the fight against dry skin. This lightweight day and night moisturizer harnesses the power of TULA’s patented, clinically-proven probiotic complex to deliver deep hydration and soothe dull skin, instantly revealing an even, glowing complexion and improving the signs of aging over time. Combined with Vitamin E, retinol, nutripeptides, and other antioxidants, this multi-tasking powerhouse promotes skin renewal and collagen synthesis while nourishing the skin’s microbiological layer with protective probiotics.

Key Benefits:
• Harnesses the power of probiotics to help balance the skin’s ecosystem, resulting in nourished, hydrated and healthy skin.
• Absorbs instantly and lightweight for daytime wear, but formulated to deliver regenerative hydration overnight as well.
• Helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines, even skin tone and improve skin’s suppleness.

Suitable for: oily, dry, normal, combination, sensitive, mature skin. This moisture cream does not include sunscreen. We recommend pairing it with a physical sunscreen, not a chemical one, and applying the sunscreen as the last step in your skincare routine.

Directions: Apply morning and night to cleansed skin or after serum. When used on a daily basis, this moisture cream visibly reduces fine lines and improve skin’s firmness.

Ingredients: Aqua/Water/Eau, Butylene Glycol, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Squalane, Glycerin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Dimethicone, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Lactose, Milk Protein, Bifida Ferment Lysate, Yogurt Extract, Hydrolyzed Rice Protein, Cichorium Intybus (Chicory) Root Extract, Vaccinium Angustifolium (Blueberry) Fruit Extract, Olus/Vegetable Oil/Huile Végétale, Camelina Sativa Seed Oil, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract, Tocopheryl Acetate, Retinyl Palmitate, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Tocopherol, Ascorbic Acid, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Citrullus Lanatus (Watermelon) Fruit Extract, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract, Lens Esculenta (Lentil) Fruit Extract, Sodium Lactate, Sodium PCA, Polysorbate 80, Polysorbate 20, Cera Alba/Beeswax/Cire d’abeille, Carbomer, Sodium Hydroxide, Disodium EDTA, Pentylene Glycol, Caprylyl Glycol, Bulnesia Sarmientoi Wood Oil, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Oil, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Oil, Juniperus Mexicana Oil, Cananga Odorata Flower Oil, Parfum/Fragrance, Ethylhexylglycerin, Phenoxyethanol, Sorbic Acid, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Hexyl Cinnamal, Linalool.

Formulated without Mineral Oil, Petrolium, Phthalates, Parabens, Gluten, Propylene glycol. No animal testing.

Overall Assessment: Amazing separately, TULA Exfoliating Treatment Mask and TULA Hydrating Day & Night Cream are holy grail, game-changers when paired together. They earn an unmitigated A+ for radiant, healthy skin! I am so impressed by these two products, that you will definitely be seeing more TULA on LSBB!
