As many of you know, I am a huge fan of Instytutum, the amazing results-driven skincare line! As a lifestyle blogger and former editor, I've tried and tested so many products over the years and this brand just stands out from the rest. I find that the high-performance formulas in their products really work. They are truly some of the best I've ever used and have played a big role in improving my overall complexion over the past year and a half. Several products have been game-changing for me in terms of the overall quality of my skin's appearance and texture. Instytutum recently relaunched their line with even more active ingredients and have added some new products with super-packed formulas. I've been testing out these innovative products now for a few months and WOWED by the results.

One of the things I love most about the Instytutum skincare collection is that the brand is solely focused on achieving flawless skin and outstanding results for women of all ages. The products are all formulated without parabens, sulfates, mineral oils, synthetic dyes, or SLES/SLS. They contain extremely high levels of anti-aging and cosmeceutical ingredients such as Retinol, Peptides, Patented Stem Cells, Vitamin C, all types of Acids, plant extracts multi molecular hyaluronic acid and more. The proof is in the products-I personally noticed a significant difference after using them including a reduction in fine lines, wrinkles, pore size and spots!
This Transforming Melting Cleanser is my go-to every day facial cleanser. I love that it goes on as an oil-based balm that transforms into a silky milk when it touches water. It deeply cleanses my skin, dissolves all my makeup and hydrates at the same time. The cleanser is formulated with Retinol, Hyaluronic Acid, and natural oils that also plumps, and helps renew the skin. There is no other cleanser like this one as it removes all the make-up and debris from my face PLUS it always stands up to my white towel test (use a white towel to dry your face after cleansing and you will see how clean that towel remains).
I like to use the Resurfacing Glow Toner after cleansing my skin a few times a week to chemically exfoliate the surface. This product has a much thicker consistency than other toners (there is no need to use it with a cotton ball-you can pour it in your hand and directly onto your face). I've noticed a visible difference in the size of my pores, appearance of wrinkles, and a more even skin tone since using.
The new Anti-Wrinkle Brightening C-ERUM is one of my hero products from the line because it pretty much does it all. This is a super-packed antioxidant serum that goes on like a white silky emulsion and is immediately absorbed into the skin. It's formulated with 15% Vitamin C THD (a very powerful form of Vitamin C). It also contains Niacinamide which stimulates collagen production to reduce wrinkles and skin sagging. My skins appearance is brighter now because the serum actually reduces melanin production so dark spots and discoloration are treated at the source. It also repairs the harmful effects of UV exposure and has anti-inflammatory properties that have visibly diminished the size of my pores and improved the overall texture of my skin. There are so many benefits to using this multi-tasking product so if you were to start with one product from the line, this would be it!
The C-Illuminating 3D Moisturizer is perfect for the days when you are not wearing much make-up and want an immediate glow and dewy finish. This super packed anti-aging formula contains Vitamin C to brighten, reduce hyper-pigmentation, stimulate collagen production, and increase elasticity of the skin. It's also packed with Shea butter, Almond and Jojoba oil, Allantoin, Vitamin E, Vitamin B5, and polysaccharides for anti-inflammatory, anti-pollution, smoothing, calming, soothing, softening, regenerating, and moisturizing properties. You will see and feel an immediate change after use and your skin will feel supple, plump, and intensely hydrated!
The Triple-Action Resurfacing Peel is my favorite product for exfoliation and polishing the skin. I like to use it a few times a week but it's gentle enough to use once a day. The formula has a creamy texture with added micro-polishing beads that resurface the skin surface. It contains 10% Glycolic and Salicylic Acid, Papaya Enzymes, and Renewing Retinol, Hyaluronic Acid, Pro-Vitamin B5 and Vitamin E to moisturize, soothe, and regenerate the skin. Using this product is the closest thing to getting a professional microdermabrasion treatment (but much gentler on the skin) and also helps reduce the look of fine lines, wrinkles, and pores while diminishing the appearance of discoloration and spots for a brighter, smoother, and renewed complexion.
My every day go-to products include Instytutum's Xceptional Flawless Cream and the Truly Transforming Brightening Eye Cream. I think many of the products are great for men too. My husband Michael is a huge fan of the eye cream and uses it twice daily!

I'm proud to be a brand ambassador for Instytutum with my blogging partner Janet Gunn, a relationship that was sparked by our love for the products. Since I started using them for my overall skincare routine, my skin has become smoother, more even toned, radiant, and youthful! I look forward to continuing with the new reformulated line and beyond thrilled with the results. I hope you give them a try and let me know what you think. Bravo Instytutum!
