It's a new year, and I have kind of been jonesing for a transformation lately. I have been feeling like something needs to change. New makeup? A new haircut? Maybe a new hair color? I haven't decided yet. In the meantime, I thought I'd take a baby step and try shaking up my skincare routine. After a few weeks spent feeling under the weather, my face was left looking a little worn out and dull. Normally, I am not big on doing skin care reviews, but when when OZ Naturals asked if I wanted to partner with them to try some of their skincare, I figured why not? This may be the start of the change I've been craving.
What first drew me to OZ Naturals was the fact that they use only natural and organic active ingredients. As you know, it is a goal to eliminate as many nasty chemicals from my home care and personal care as possible. OZ Naturals is committed to the highest formulation standards. Their products are free of:
• Parabens
• Sulfates
• Mineral Oil
• Lanolin
• Gluten
• Cruelty
I received 3 OZ Naturals products to try: 5% Hyaluronic Acid Serum + Vitamin C, 20% Vitamin C + Amino Blend and Hyaluronic Acid, and the Super Youth Eye Gel.
The OZ Naturals Hyaluronic Acid + Vitamin C Serum works wonderfully at plumping and hydrating dry dull skin. It stimulates collagen, helping to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. It comes in a clear glass bottle with a dropper that makes it easy to access the product. The serum is not thick or greasy. It blends into the skin smooth and evenly, drying quickly. I did not notice any scent from this product. It definitely left my skin soft and hydrated. The Hyaluronic Acid Serum is safe for all skin types and is proven to plump skin and fill in fine lines. It's really affordable too, available for $16.45 on Amazon.
The OZ Naturals Vitamin C Serum is a clinical strength 20% Vitamin C serum. It neutralizes free radicals, increases collagen production and cell turnover, resulting in a smoother texture and even skin tone. Also in a glass bottle with a dropper for easy access. The Vitamin C is a little thinner than the Hyaluronic Acid, but still goes on smooth and evenly, leaving skin smooth and soft. If you are wondering about the difference in the two serums, the Hyaluronic Acid is more for hydration when the Vitamin C is more for evening tone and texture. I did notice a slight tightening feeling when using this product, but it was not unpleasant, and there was only a faint scent. You can get the OZ Naturals Vitamin C Serum on Amazon for $21.95.
OZ Naturals Super Youth Eye Gel is a clear gel that is designed to treat every major eye concern, from dark circles, to bags, to puffiness. Made with 100% natural and 75% organic ingredients, it is specifically formulated for delicate under eye skin to reverse the signs of aging. Available in a .5 fl oz pump bottle, it smooths easily around the eyes. It is not greasy or sticky, dries quickly, and leaves tired eyes feeling refreshed. I noticed a slight tightening shortly after application. I recommend using this product at night as it can affect the look of makeup when applied in the morning. They say it can be used on the forehead as well, but since it is available in such a small bottle, I stick to just using it on my eyes so I don't run out faster. You can purchase the OZ Naturals Super Youth Eye Gel for $17.45 on Amazon.
As with most products, you are not going to see overnight results, but I really started noticing a change about 2 weeks into using OZ Naturals. I tend to pick apart all of my flaws when looking in the mirror, but the other day I was studying my face and thought, "Wow! My skin looks incredible!" A little conceited? Maybe, but my skin looked firmer, tighter, and had an awesome glow to it. I truly love OZ Naturals Skincare and will continue to use them in my daily skincare routine.

What are some of your skin care concerns that OZ Naturals could help you address?
that Vit C serum will be perfect for my skin...since the winter and series of chemo that I have to go through, my skin has changed tremendously and it gets dry dull..thanks for the review, it's good to have references..
ReplyDeleteI think you would really like the Vitamin C Indah. It does a great job at perking up the look of dull skin!
DeleteI want to try that eye gel. I have these hideous bags under my eyes that appear from time to time that I need to cover up.
ReplyDeleteMe to Robin! My bags have always been so bothersome!
DeleteSounds like good ones to keep the dry skin away in the winter, hate that
ReplyDeleteDry winter skin is the worst!
Deleteeye gel sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteIt is! It's the first I have tried in gel form, and I really like it!
DeleteThose do look like wonderful products. I'm allergic to sulphates, so I like products like theirs that has no harmful chemicals.
ReplyDeleteI love how they don't have those yucky chemicals in them too! I know a lot of people who are allergic to sulfates, so it's nice they offer products without them!
DeleteI've never tried either of these, but I should. My skin has some problem areas that I'd like to take care of.
ReplyDeleteThese look like some wonderful products that I am in desperate need of! My face feels so dry and sadly wrinkly. I need to get my hands on some of this pronto!
ReplyDeleteInteresting! I've been noticing that my pores are larger than they used to be. I really need to work on that.
ReplyDeleteI NEED that Super Youth eye gel! I get chronic sinus infections, so my eyes pretty much stay puffy and dark. :(
ReplyDeleteWinter and sleepiness kills my eyes and skin. This would really help and make me feel more confident.
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem. Winter is harsh on my eyes and skin.
DeleteI'm always looking for good natural skincare products. Will definitely have to check out this brand. It sounds great!
ReplyDeleteMy wife has started using Vitamin C serum lately and says she really enjoys it! Me, I prefer to eat oranges. ;)
ReplyDeleteI definitely need to try these. I am nearing 30 and my skin isn't as great as it used to be. I can feel aging kicking in.
ReplyDeleteEver since my ophthalmologist has me putting on eye drops day and night I have notice bags under my eyes which were never there before! OZ Naturals Super Youth Eye Gel --maybe that will help!
ReplyDeleteSkincare is very important. Skin is our largest organ. We should only be using natural products on it in my opinion.
ReplyDelete2 Weeks you say? I am pretty sure I have 2 weeks to spare. I am going to be 40 this year and the only real significant change I have seen in my face is extra dryness and sensitivity along with the weight gain. But I want to battle fine lines and wrinkles before they get too out of control.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy oz naturals. I love love love the super youth eye gel! It's by far my most favorite of my newly created night time routine!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to check this stuff out!
DeleteSounds like a product that I need to use! I am going to check this out. Amber N
ReplyDeleteThese sound great. I could use this.
ReplyDeleteSounds like some great skincare products! I may need to try some for myself!
ReplyDeleteNice. I like how they are all natural and are goo for the skin.
ReplyDeleteI need to try these. My skin sure isn't getting any younger.
ReplyDeleteThat's great that you noticed a positive change after a bit! I don't use anything on my skin, but I probably should!
ReplyDeleteI am with mail4rosey I rarely use anything on my skin but over the last few years I have TRIED to get some kind of thing going cause i'm aging horribly and always dry! I'd give anything a go at this point!
ReplyDeleteSo happy to read about a skincare line with nothing but goo in it. Scary to have been putting on so many chemicals and nasty things directly on our face!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds wonderful. I am so glad you found a routine that you liked.
ReplyDeleteI just had a birthday which always has a way of reminding me of the importance of skin care! So great to learn about products that are free of harmful chemicals!
ReplyDeleteThat is inspiring to me that a company goes the extra mile to produce a product that is free of Parabens, Sulfates, and all that other stuff. I'm sure those with allergies appreciate it as well.
ReplyDeleteInteresting that these come in droppers - it can help you find the right amount if you mix them it seems.
