Mario Badescu Peptide Renewal Serum & Cream.

My number one skin care concern right now is aging, and everything that comes with it. I have sun damage and I am not getting any younger. I am concerned about my skin and do what I can do make it look as young as it can. Well, without turning to injections, botox, or plastic surgery. Though I am considering some botox. Soon.

In searching for some new skin care to try, I discovered this new Peptide Renewal Serum and Peptide Renewal Cream from Mario Badescu. After discovering how much I like their products last year, I couldn't wait to try this new age fighting duo.

This cream and serum combine peptides with youth-boosting botanicals to recover a firmer, contoured, more youthful appearance. I like the sound of that. They treat all those signs of aging skin that I am battling - wrinkles, sagging, uneven texture, and lack of hydration.

I have been applying both the serum and cream at night. I use a few drops of the Peptide Renewal serum and rub it over my skin and let it absorb. I follow that with the Peptide Renewal Cream. This cream is really thick and it was meant for those of us with very dry and mature skin. I am liking the way my skin is feeling with this combination. Of course it feels nice and hydrated as soon as I apply it, but I don't feel as though my skin gets as dry as it has been during the day since using. I also feel like I just look better when I wake up. I haven't used it long enough to pinpoint everything it does, but just the notice in feel and better hydration alone is enough for me to continue and keep it in my routine.

Mario Badescu Peptide Renewal Serum retails for $45, and the Peptide Renewal Cream retails for $35.00. They are available at Nordstrom and at mariobadescu.com now.
