Finding the latest and greatest skincare products is one of the best parts of my job! The world of skincare is always evolving and while it can sometimes be tough to find what works best for you, it is exciting to try products with the latest breakthroughs in technology. 

The skincare market can be an overwhelming place and I hope that by sharing my experiences with you, it will help you make an informed decision on your skincare purchases.


Robin is a best-selling author of Inside My Heart: Choosing to Live with Passion and Purpose, which debuted at #1 on The New York Times bestsellers list. She is also a daily presence on her husband's television show, Dr. Phil

Robin launched Robin McGraw's Revelation Luxury Skincare Collection in 2016 and products from her line were recently named Beauty O-Ward winners in O, The Oprah Magazine Spring 2017 and Fall 2017. Robin’s products have also been featured in The New York Times, Redbook, Allure, Los Angeles Times, People Magazine, and more. 

So, what makes Robin McGraw's Revelation stand out? Well, for starters, her products are free of sulfates, mineral oil, parabens, and chemicals. They do not test on animals and use the highest quality of natural components and active ingredient formulations for truly incredible results.

For the last several weeks, I have been using three products from Robin McGraw's Revelation skincare line. I have summarized my thoughts and reactions to each of the products below:

1.   Robin McGraw Revelation® Dot Your EYES  - Science has proven that peptides can help manage wrinkles and reverse the signs of aging, so it should come as no surprise that Robin created a Power Peptide Eye Cream. Its unique 5-peptide complex reduces the appearance of puffy eyes, dark circles, and fine lines while assisting in natural collagen production to tighten sagging skin. The peptides are combined with apple fruit extract to gently remove dead skin cells and boost the skin with Vitamin C. It's a win-win for your skin!

I absolutely love this eye cream. Dot Your EYES goes on silky smooth and quickly absorbs into my skin. It is an instant pick-me-up for tired eyes and I use it every night and prior to makeup application in the morning.  
   
2. Robin McGraw Revelation® Live Life LIFTED™ Firming Neck & Decollete Cream - The neck and decollete are the first areas on our body to show signs of aging. Robin's Live Life LIFTED Firming Neck & Decollete Cream not only provides thirst-quenching moisture to the delicate area, but visibly firms and lifts. It delivers a potent blend of five skin-smoothing, anti-wrinkle peptides and hyaluronic acid deep into the skin to hydrate and smooth skin’s appearance for a more sculpted silhouette. 



This luxuriously lightweight cream features jojoba esters with moisturizing vitamins A, D, and C, plus free radical blocking, vitamin E-rich sunflower seed oil to provide intense healing and hydration without the sticky after feel. That’s right, this baby does all the heavy lifting, so you can go on living life lifted.
It is a luxurious treat to apply this cream before bed every night. I can feel it tightening and it makes my skin feel oh so buttery soft and smooth.
Note: The directions say to dispense 2-3 pumps of the cream, but I find one pump does the trick. The moisturizing formula is creamy and smooth and easily smooths out over my skin. A little goes a long way and, if you end up loving it as much as I do, you will want the product to last as long as possible    

3.  Robin McGraw Revelation® OMG! Is this really ME?™ Instant Face Shaper -  I must admit I have had a love-hate relationship with Robin's Instant Face Shaper from day one. The product consistency isn't right. When dispensing the shaper product onto my fingertip, it comes out of the tube stringy and feels as if it was supposed to be a gel and is drying out. Before I apply it to my face, it breaks apart and I'm left picking up small pieces and pressing it into my skin. After application, I have also noticed a light, dry film on my skin. Nothing terribly noticeable, but it is there.

To correct the issues above, I found shaking the bottle well and applying a light moisturizer prior to application helps the dry residue problem. The formula, however, is still dry and difficult to apply. I am wondering if the formula broke down in the 90-degree plus heat during shipment? It's certainly possible. I feel the gel is simply too dry to have been formulated this way. Overall, it does minimize the appearance of fine lines and tightens my skin, which is why I still use it, but the formula itself is much too dry.   

Overall, I would definitely recommend Robin McGraw's Dot Your Eyes and Life Life LIFTED. Both diminished wrinkles and softened my skin.

  11. My issue with beauty creams is that you have to keep it up forever or you don't see results, and my skin tends to get "tired" of the same stuff so I'm always having to switch. I'll keep these in mind.

    1. Hi Andi, If you are not seeing results, you might want to try an exfoliator from time to time to remove dead skin cells and allow products to penetrate the skin. I didn't start exfoliating until I was in my 40's and wish I would have started earlier. Don't get sucked into thinking you have to spend a lot of money. A good old gentle cleanser with a wash cloth (exfoliates) and a moisturizer every single day and night, will yield good results. My grandmother used to order a beauty cream from the back of a catalog and her skin at 80 years old was amazing, so I'm sold that beauty creams DO work. You just have to find what works for you and do it every day.
