Natural Beauty: Aveda Green Science Firming Face Creme

Who doesn't want a eco-friendly, firmer face? Now that I am approaching my late thirties, I see the need for facial firmness, but I have to stick to my natural values. Last week, we reviewed
Aveda's Green Science Lifting Serum. The
Green Science Firming Face Creme is another great product in the Green Science line. Made from lady's thistle, organic argan oil, cactus, glucosamine, anti-oxidants and peptides, this creme improves visible skin firmness, moisturizes, smooths fine lines, and strengthens skin's barrier function to keep toxins away.
One thing I love about Aveda besides their involvement in community projects is their comittment to eco-friendly packaging. The Green Science Firming Face Creme container is made from 100% post-consumer PET and is recyclable. It is hypocritical to not use responsible packaging for natural, organic products, and Aveda had developed guiding packaging principles:
- Considering the lifecycle analysis of packaging options
- Reducing the size, weight and production processes of packaging
- Offering packaging that can be recycled whenever possible
- Using the most environmentally sound materials and as much Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) content as commercially possible
- Using renewable energy to manufacture and fill our packaging
- Challenging our packaging partners to meet these standards as well
I wish every company would put as much thought into packaging, like Aveda, as they do their products.

My skin is looking nicer each day I wear the Vitamin Enhanced Face Firming Serum from the Made from Earth skincare line. It did take a few weeks to see the change. My fine lines are disappearing and my skin is smooth and glowing. Also, the Made from Earth Vitamin Firming product lasts a long time, it does not take much to apply all over your face and neck.
RESULT after 1 month:
Nearly all my saggy neck skin has tightened. plus - I've received comments from three different people who commented, "you look great - what have you done to your face and neck!"
I really like it as a face cream too. It smells really nice and goes on easily and absorbs quickly. Soft skin is the result. Love it.
My skin has always been very finicky; it's sensitive yet acne prone so I've had a lot of trouble trying to find a moisturizer that works for me.
Over Christmas 2008, my fiance bought me the MADE FROM EARTH Vitamin Enhanced Face Firming Serum. I was skeptical due to how my skin tends to react to different products. Well, I fell in love with "Made from Earth" immediately.
From the texture, to the way it melts into your skin and doesn't leave that greasy feel, and the fact that it keeps my skin pretty much shine-free all day long.
I'm now 7months pregnant, and I was worried that my skin would completely breakout from the hormones, but Made from Earth's "Green Tea Toxin Cleanser" face wash and "3 Berry Face Serum" have kept my skin breakout free and wonderful.
I love the Vitamin Enhanced Firming Serum - and a little bit goes a very long way, so it's worth the money!
When I first saw the Vitamin Enhanced Face Firming Serum (from the Made from Earth skincare line) I thought, you have got to be kidding. $50 for face cream!!?? But after reading some reviews on the internet - i decided to give it a try - I have tried everything! The site promised it would help my dry, irritated, acne-prone skin with wrinkles.
I LOVED it. For the first time, my skin was not irritated by this wrinke treatment . I have very sensitive skin especially under my eyes. And, no more zits. None. A bottle lasts me almost 6 months, and it helped my skin more than ANY $200 facial I ever got! Just makes your skin look as good as it possibly can look, and I think it's worth every penny. I am on my 4th bottle (that means using it for almost 2 years now). I also have use their Olive Night Creme, which is about $40, but I don't think that is anything special to be honest with you. Not anything like the Vitamin Enhanced Face Firming Serum. Definitely recommended for women seeking a firmer face who have sensitive skin.
