Rosehip Oil, Rosehip Oil with Vitamin C and cellular radiance serum - [A'kin]

The idea of 'pure' ingredients may not seem like something you’ve thought about, or if you have, it might sound like a fanciful dream, but we here at The Amazing Blog have found the reality. [A’kin] is a brand which defines itself by its dedication to “the power of purity.” Their products undertake a unique process to ensure that their ingredients are: properly researched for their health and beauty benefits, extracted in their purest and most beneficial form, and selected and tested for synergy and skin compatibility. As such we had high hopes and expectations for the two oils and one serum we tried.

Both of the [A’kin] Oils we tried used Rosehip as the basis of the products, but both achieved different results. Rosehip is rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids which help to give skin a youthful and healthy glow. Rosehip is also full of Omega 3, 6, and 9 which help to restore moisture as well as nurturing and rejuvenating the appearance of skin. The first Rosehip based oil we tried was the Brightening Rosehip Oil with Vitamin C, and we can honestly say it did everything it said and more! Our skin felt brighter and clearer, as the Vitamin C in the oil acts as a powerful reviving antioxidant helping to neutralise free radicals, clear up the skin, all the while keeping it hydrated and fed! While the Brightening Rosehip Oil with vitamin C is suitable for all skin, the Pure Radiance Rosehip Oil is better suited for dry and or sensitive skin types. This oil left our skin feeling smooth and deeply hydrated. The oil is enriched with pure active botanicals and contains only two ingredients: rosa canina seed (rosehip) extract and rosemary leaf extract. [A'kin] Pure Radiance Rosehip Oil has a concentration of Omega essential fatty acids that is no less than 80%!! This award winning Rosehip oil helps to restore moisture and helps reduce the visible signs of aging. The result is vibrant, glowing and healthy radiant looking skin.


The [A’kin] Revitalising Cellular Radiance Serum was a fantastic anti-aging serum that completely rejuvenated our skin, restoring youthfulness. The powerful serum combines 6 organic and certified extracts: pomegranate amaranth, seabuckthorn, rosehip, calendula, and chamomile. All of which help to moisturise skin, while firming it up. It’s no wonder, therefore, that in a recent study on 32 women aged 50 and over, the serum was shown to improve skin texture by 84%, skin radiance by 69% and reduce wrinkles by 22% over a three month period. What more could you want from an all natural anti-aging serum!

So Pure Skincare – Rejuvenating Body Elixir

rachels wednesdayI’m sure many of you can attest to the fact that the unpredictable weather we face in London truly takes a toll on skin.  The girls here at The Amazing Blog have recently been on my case in regards to regularly using body oil to yield my skin from the damage of the weather.  I took their advice (they’re beauty experts after all!) and tried a body oil we had sent to us by So Pure Skincare.  The Rejuvenating Body Elixir by So Pure Skincare is packed with the rich oils that have nourished and replenished my skin in no time!

Rather than using chemical filled creams, So Pure Skincare founder, Geeta Sood sought to relieve the eczema of her 6 month old son by developing 100% natural and organic oil.  Her success sparked her study of Holistic Skincare and the creation of So Pure Skincare.  Housing items for the face and body, the organic prickly pear seed oil is the key ingredient used in all So Pure Skincare products. Prickly pear seed oil is a highly-sought, expensive oil because of its anti-aging abilities.  The nutrients of the oil also reduce scars and dark spots.  The So Pure Skincare range also contains zero health-hazardous ingredients and is vegetarian and vegan friendly.

Like all So Pure Skincare items, The Rejuvenating Body Elixir contains prickly pear seed oil as well as vitamin E.  The Elixir is ideal for dry skin, scars or stretch marks and blemishes as it refreshes and hydrates skin tissue.  One of the reasons I selected this oil in particular is its striking scent.  It came as no surprise when I realized the contains extracts of the Tiare Flower, Neroli, Jasmine, Rose Otto and Sandalwood; combined these extracts make for an exotic and sensual fragrance.   As suggested by So Pure Skincare, I have found using 4-5 pumps of the oil to best for my entire body, while targeting the driest areas.   Since only a few drops are necessary at a time, the oil can last for months!  Rejuvenate your skin by purchasing the So Pure Skincare Rejuvenating Body Elixir oil here for £30.
