SkinEnergizer.com recently announced a new group of products for dry skin…just in time for windy, cold winter weather!
The Dry Skin and Face Kit contains three of their best-selling products for addressing severe dryness of face and body tissue. This particularly helpful to those of use who experience flaking, dryness, and severly dry skin when the temperatures and humidity drop.
The Dry Skin and Face Kit consists of three products:
- Dry Skin Face Mask
- Dry Skin Toner
- Dry Skin and Face Mask
I recently tried the kit on our annual family ski trip. Being from the south, there is something about being in the mountains that dries-out my skin – severly. Maybe because I’m getting older or because of the altitude and low humidity, but either way, my hands and face go into a bout of severe dryness making may hands (especially) look like they have been immersed in powder – and they are sore too.
I tried the new kit for week and was very satisfied. I used the dry skin wash daily – not just on my face, but in the shower as a body wash. It worked very well…but like many washes and soaps, it’s designed to clean…so, there was some drying but not as much as I had.
The dry skin toner works very well. I had a few blemishes and they were knocked out quickly, and the non-alcohol formula was pretty gentle.
The dry skin face mask was probably the product I liked the best, but its impractiacle to use on a daily basis. The company, SkinEnergizer.com, recommends weekly use. I agree. I used it on my face and hands. I can tell you it works great. It felt like I had a moisturizer applied after I washed it off, but no greasy or oily feeling.
Personally and professionally, I would recommend these products for those with medium-to-severe dry skin. The wash and mask, especially, would be very effective and useful for those folks over 50 – when skin begins to dry and thin. All the products are rich in nutrients and minerals, and the mask has anti-oxidant properties as well. For normal or daily use, I’d take a look at their moisturizers. They come in a number of varieties from focus on deep moisturization to antioxidant protection to anti-aging, to firming lotions that tighten skin and remove wrinkles.
The price on the kit (at this writing) is about $40 – and I know it is currently on sale as a promotion. This compares favorably to other products we have reviewed – in fact, it is less than many of the moisturizers we have tested. But this is not uncommon for SkinEnergizer®. They are both a distributor of name brand products, but they also manufacture many of the products themselves – selling them at wholesale and discount pricing – you know, “direct from the manufacturer”.
All-in-all, I think there new products for dry skin are great skin care for cold, wind, low humidity weather and for those with severly dry skin. Used with a daily moisturizer or moisturizing complexion cream, this may be the best new solution for drying, flaking, and cracking.

November 30, 2011 – Atlanta, GA – Nourish Products, a leading manufacturer of skin and hair products based in Atlanta, GA, announced this week a new product to their line of herbal and natural products – Herbal Skin Toner.
We were able to get a sneak peak and trial of this new facial toner that compliments Nourish’s Herbal Face Wash. We weren’t disappointed. As toners go, we think its one of the best we have tried…it worked its wonders on those of us with oily skin, and its “no alcohol” formula was welcomed by those of us who have sensitive skin.
As the name implies, this is an herbal extract and natural oil based formula. Though the product has some synthetics such as Panthenol, it is rich in ingredients such as witch hazel, Melissa leaf, aloe, nettle leaf extract, and black willow – all carefully formulated (per the manufacturer) to clean pores, reduce bacteria, and reduce oiliness of oily-prone skin and facial tissue.
Natural, Herbal Formula for Oily Skin Problems!
Like many of the Nourish products, its not only natural-based, it contains no alcohol – a key for those using this toner to help clear acne. Many acne products – especially medications like Accutane – have a tendancy to severly dry skin in an effort reduce oil production – a main cause of acne. The active ingredients in Herbal Face Toner work to compliment each other and the aloe barbadensis and water base work well to naturally hydrate.
No Alcohol – And it Works!
When used with the Face Wash, Herbal Skin Toner should be applied lightly with a clean cotton swab or cloth after washing and rinsing your face. Generally there is no need to apply a moisturizer unless your skin becomes especially dry. One thing we do like about this product in particular is that you can use it several times per day. If you are like me, my skin becomes oily around lunch time and then again before I finish work. I tried it a couple of times a day and was pleased with the results. In all fairness, I doubt I’ll be carrying around a bottle all day, but it is great for a quick clean-up and refresh when I get home.
In fact, I have my son using it this week (who is sufering from a 16 year old breakout) and he applies in the morning, when he comes home from school and at night before he goes to bed. He hasn’t needed to moisturize his face and the acne looks measurably better.
Price-wise, Nourish’s Herbal Skin Toner is certainly in the range of similar products. In fact, I’d say it is on the low side considering it is a non-alcohol formula. In comparison, many products with similar ingredients are in the $20+ range. You can buy at SkinEnergizer for $16.75 and they generally discount to $14.99. When I checked the SkinEnergizer.com site today it was listed in their Deal of The Day section for $9.99…a bargain for this toner.
If you are looking for a face toner that does not have alcohol but is effective at cleaning oil, dirt, and bacteria, you should definitely give the new Herbal Skin Toner a try!

A favorite anti-aging product of skincare enthusiasts everywhere, Skinceuticals Serum 15 not only claims to create a visible difference, but also makes tissue healthier and livelier as well.
What’s more, it doesn’t just conceal imperfections or slowly erase dark spots; it also replenishes your skin so that it could gain a healthier, more natural sheen to it. That’s because this product not only treats skin conditions, it also reverses the skin aging process as well through it rejuvenating ingredients.
Skinceuticals Serum 15
Other products may claim to remove blemishes in only a few weeks, but Skinceuticals Serum 15 goes a step further by making your skin look younger as well as flawless (REVIEWER NOTE: similar products – Anti Wrinkle 55 and the Obagi C serum have similar if not better results at very good pricing.)
Besides which, it also stimulates collagen creation, defends against environmental damage, and neutralizes free radical formation. Indeed, it serves as many a beautician’s beauty secret when it comes to reversing the effects of any damage or malady.
This article has repeatedly emphasized Skinceuticals Serum 15′s revitalizing properties. In any case, its ability to make facial tissue healthier is the primary factor to its effectiveness.
The true secret to the elusive fountain of youth lies inside the cells of your skin, and this product’s Duke-patented Vitamin C technology enables the delivery of 15% L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C) to the skin, which improves the condition, texture, tone and smoothness “from within”.
More to the point, the product cannot be rubbed or washed off once it’s absorbed by your body and remains active for up to four days, which further underlines Skinceuticals Serum 15′s mode of operation when it comes to stimulating and fortifying your skin’s defenses against the elements. It even acts as an excellent addition to sunscreens to boot.
The fact that it’s ideal for both oily and normal skin-types serves as the icing to a very refreshing and skin renewing cake. However, its anti-aging properties aren’t quite as instantaneous as one would expect. Results may vary, of course, and Skinceuticals Serum 15 won’t make a 50-year-old look like a twenty-something young adult at the drop of a hat.
What it can do is improve you pliability, elasticity and damage resistance through AOX and advanced antioxidant technology (that is, combine L-ascorbic acid with ferulic acid to boost your skin’s antioxidant production as well as hydrate tissue in the best way possible). After everything is considered, it’s still an overall satisfying product. Without a doubt, it has earned its 8.75 out of 10 stars rating.
