M2 Skin Refinish 12% (sensitive) Bundle Review and Giveaway (Closed)
Even if you find that your skin cannot tolerate strong or exfoliating skin care ingredients, M2 Skin Technologies recently released the Skin Refinish 12% formulation that is specifically targeted for those with sensitive and rosacea-prone skin. When used in conjunction with the Exfoliating Cleanser and Skin Recovery Moisturizer, it completely renews the skin without being harsh.
M2 Skin Refinish 12%was created by leading dermatologist, Dr. Mark Taylor, and formulated with a rejuvenating formula of concentrated Mandelic and Malic Acids. Together, these two specialty ingredients work to provide powerful antioxidant protection and refreshment. Great for those with acne-prone, aging, or hyperpigmented skin, it’s the perfect path for the softest, smoothest skin around.
The products contain both Mandelic and Malic Acids that offer beneficial anti-inflammatory properties and skin-protective qualities that will make a noticeable impact on your complexion. Mandelic Acid is naturally antibacterial, making it a must-have for acne-prone skin. Malic Acid is a natural humectant and antioxidant, and keeps the skin protected throughout the day. The three products work together to comfortably promote an even skin tone, reduce breakouts, fade acne scarring, and smooth fine lines and wrinkles by resurfacing the skin – without causing further irritation and stress.
I was too nervous to try this. I do have acne and I could benefit from any help with hyperpigmentation, but with the holidays coming up, I was just too scared to jinx myself! you can see my before and after acne pictures here and understand why.
Sooo, I let a friend with rosacea have the bundle. I didn’t get words for the review at first, but more like excited squeaks. She was so thrilled that the M2 line was so gentle she couldn’t form words! I think she traded her voice for Alvin, from Alvin and Chipmunks when she said, “my skin has never looked better, flawless, redness from my rosacea faded in less then 10 days!”
My friend is 40 and of course is battling the signs of aging. She is more on the fair skinned side of things and has never had any luck using anti-aging treatments. She complains they either broke her out with acne or more rosacea and this is the first treatment she plans on purchasing after giving it a trial run!
I call that a smashing success!

Seabuckthorn International Review and Giveaway
Seabuckthorn is a very hardy plant which grows well in the Central Plains of North America. Its botanical name is Hippophae Rhamnoides L. which means “bright shining horse.” Seabuckthorn contains 194 known nutritional compounds in the seeds, fruit and leaves. While each of these compounds is effective on its own, it is their synergies which make Seabuckthorn such a powerful nutraceutical. Seabuckthorn berries can stay on the branches throughout the winter providing nourishment for birds and small animals.
Skin conditions are a nutritional deficiency and Seabuckthorn International’s products represent 192 of the 194 known nutrients in a near perfect balance all from the same plant source and certified organic.
The nutrients work synergistically with each other and the Omega 3 and 6 are at a natural one to one ratio. Science shows they self check each other on thousands of metabolic functions to create energy and new cells all in a non-inflammatory environment, therefore these new healthy cells operate at their best efficiency. This includes improving the body’s ability to produce, Hyalauronic acid, Glutathione, Alphalipoic, Coenzyme Q10, etc, which all support all the healing processes of the body. Seabuckthorn also contains Omega 7 and 9.
Seabuckthorn berries derive their bright orange color from the 15 plus carotenoids they contain. Among the carotenes found in Sea Buckthorn are alpha carotene, beta carotene, delta carotene, gamma carotene, lutein, lycopene, beta cryptoxanthin, zeaxanthin, taraxanthin and phytofluin.
Sea Buckthorn reduces levels of protein associated with inflammation, diabetes and heart diseaseand it may even help the functions of the liver!
SBT Single Source Capsules represents both the seed oil and fruit oil combined to be the most effective nutritional product on the market. Please take note that Seabuckthorn International does not add any fillers. No olive oil or sunflower oil, OR the sweetener maltadextron to any of their capsules.
Also note, they do not do double packaging, which creates immediate garbage and will eventually be phased out by all conscientious companies. I really can’t express how important this is. I receive tons of products, and the immediate is to take something out of a box, then take it out of the packaging box. It really is terribly wasteful.
Seabuckthorn International carries numerous products, ranging from cleansing bars, skin creams, acne line, rosacea line, teas, oils, 3 kinds of capsules, newly introduced salves and even hair care.
Craig and I both really enjoyed the cleansing bars. They lather up nicely, but do not strip the skin, yet leaves you clean, and with a slight berry scent, the scent would not be able to be noticed by anyone else, but is a nice little pick me up in the morning shower. The Cleansing Bars contain seabuckthorn seed oil with its valuable Omega 3 and Omega 6, and Omega 9 and seabuckthorn fruit oil with Omega 7 or palmitoleic acid which is similar in structure to the fatty acids in our skin. I have noticed a dramatic decrease in body breakouts since I have been using the bar, and also noticed a decrease of sensitivity in Craig’s skin since using.
I have been taking the SBT Capsules for a couple of months now. Because I use so many skin products to try and help my facial acne, it is hard to say if this is the one supplement has done the deed, or if it has been a combination. I can say that my skin does not seem nearly as dry as it normally is. I do know one thing, my lips are usually so dry (lip balm addict) and this is the first time I can remember not putting it on, first thing in the morning and last thing I do at night. I know it has been working on AT LEAST that, b/c I haven’t been using anything else.
The After-Sun Cream, really seemed to help Craig one day. He had went to an Indian’s baseball game (our minor league) and gotten way too much sun on his arms and nose. I actually applied the straight oil to his nose and the next day it seemed much better. The cream really took the sting out of his arms too. Craig is pretty fair skinned, so this was a major feat!
I do have 3 prizes to give away to 3 different winners! And since Seabuckthorn International is a Canadian company, I have it opened up to both the US and Canada!
Three Winners will receive their choice of one of the following:
SBT Seabuckthorn Rosacea Starter Package
SBT Seabuckthorn Acne Starter Package
SBT Seabuckthorn Berry Essence package
SBT Seabuckthorn Tea Essence Package
SBT Seabuckthorn Single Source capsules.
To enter, please head over to Seabuckthorn International, and tell me one product, not reviewed here, that you would like to try. Or tell me a fact about Seabuckthorn that isn’t mentioned here.
