HYD For Men Review

I usually get products to review for myself, but this time, my significant other had the opportunity to test drive a few new products. iFabbo and HYD for Men gifted these shaving items and I am happy to share the results with you.

Let's go through all three items:

Shave Cream:

Description of Product from the HYD for Men website:

HYD For Men Shave Cream allows your razor to glide effortlessly across your skin, resulting in a comfortable, more precise shave.

Key Benefits:

Shave Cream hydrates and rejuvenates your skin by minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Our unique blend of natural oils and moisturizers allows your razor to glide effortlessly across your skin, reducing friction and irritation.

Our soothing low lather formula is designed to provide superior coverage while using less shave cream. As a result, your razor will perform better and your blades won’t clog from excess shave cream.

Ingredients:

Aqua (Deionized Water), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf (Aloe Vera Gel) Juice,Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine,Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Stearic Acid, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Sodium Polyacrylate, Isopropyl Palmitate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Leaf Oil, Olea Europaea (Olive) Oil, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Mineral Oil, Hydrolyzed Wheat Proteins, Hydrolyzed Wheat Proteins, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin-E), Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Camellia Sinensis Leaf (Green Tea) Extract, Dimethicone, Sodium Stearate, Citrus Aurantium (Orange) Oil, Sodium Hydroxide, Carbomer, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Aceteyl Hexapeptide-8, Titanium Dioxide, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin

Does It Work?:

For a clean, close shave, this is a great product. You will love the results whether your man uses it for his face or if you use it to shave your legs. However, if you are ingredient-wary like me, note there are products like Mineral Oil and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. As a result, it makes me give this a cautious review.

Cost: $12.99

Where Is It Sold?: If you go through the HYD for Men website, there's currently a 20% off your entire purchase code for you to use. Just plug in SAVE20.

Buffer Stick: 

Description of Product from the HYD for Men website:

HYD For Men Buffer Stick exfoliates and energizes skin, allowing for deep hydration, while preventing ingrown hairs.

Key Benefits:

Eliminate 50 million barriers to healthy skin with this one-step microdermabrasion treatment. Buffer Stick combines hydration and long-lasting, skin-enriching treatment with professional-quality microdermabrasion.

Buffer Stick offers instant results with no pain or irritation, increased absorption of your skin care products and minimizes the appearance of dark spots and fine lines. Add to your grooming routine to hydrate your skin and gently remove dead skin cells while fighting ingrown hairs.

Ingredients:

Propylene Glycol, Aluminum Oxide, Nonyl Nonoxynol-150, Water, Sodium Stearate, Dipropylene Glycol, Chondrus Crispus (Carrageenan), Retinyl Palmitate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Coffea Arabica (Coffee) Seed Oil, Camellia Oleifera Leaf Extract, Ferocactus Wislizenii (Cactus) Extract, Orchis Maculata Flower Extract, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Arctostaphylos Uva-Ursi (Bearberry) Leaf Extract, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Hydroxyphenyl Propamidobenzoic Acid, Caffeine, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Pentylene Glycol, Caprylyl Glycol, Lauryl Methacrylate/Glycol Dimethacrylate Crosspolymer, Mica, Titanium Dioxide, PVP, Trihydroxystearin, Fragrance, Phenoxyethanol

Does It Work?:

Again, I am hesitant when I see Aluminum Oxide on the list, so use with caution. This might be a good product to grab in a pinch if you need to soothe the bikini line area after waxing. Again, read the ingredients if you are worried about certain items in this product.

Cost: $24.99

Razor Shield: 

Description of Product from the HYD for Men website:

A proprietary formula that coats and protects razor blades, preventing oxidation and calcification to greatly extend razor blade life.

Key Benefits:

Razor Shield creates a liquid barrier, protecting razor blades from the corrosive chemical reactions that dull blades and make shaving uncomfortable.

Sharp blades coated in our proprietary blend of natural oils keep your face smooth and revitalized, making for a clean shave.

Ingredients:

Helianthus Annus (Sunflower) Oil, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf (Aloe Vera Gel) Juice, Petrolatum, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D), Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A), Isopropyl Palmitate, BHT, Simmondsia Chinesis (Jojoba) Oil, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Australian Tea Tree Oil)

Does It Work?:

I love this product, especially if you have bought an expensive razor. It helps keep the blade lasting longer and sharper for better use. It's probably not worth it on a disposable razor, but it's great for those nicer blades.

Cost: $17.99

Perlier Lemon Sorbet Crackling Body Water Review

This might be the best product I have seen all summer. I had no idea what I was in store for when I opened the box from iFabbo and Perlier. Normally, I would just write about the product and give you my insight on how well it works. This time, I shot a video since you have to see it to believe it...and you have to hear it, too. Perlier's Lemon Sorbet Crackling Body Water has its own "Snap, crackle and pop!"

Own Firming Silk Concentrate

Last month, I was given the opportunity to try Own's Lifting Eye Cream. Now that I have had another four weeks to test drive the product, I have definitely noticed more hydration and less lines around my eyes.  With all the travel that I do, it's easy for my skin to dry out, so this has definitely helped.  

This month, iFabbo and Own gave me a complimentary serum to try out: Own's Firming Silk Concentrate.  This product might be a personal favorite.  I've been looking for something to use for my face and neck to no avail until I used this product.  Here's a breakdown of the product:

Description of the Product:

Visibly reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles for more vibrant skin. The naturally derived and patented CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) formula in Own Anti-Aging Firming Silk Concentrate works with your body to treat all three layers of skin through a power-packed serum that’s proven to absorb easily without leaving a residue. Own Firming Silk Concentrate works with your own body’s chemistry to reactivate healthy processes and rebuild the skin’s structures for brighter, taut, and genuinely younger-looking skin. 

Product Details

● Retinol-free formula 

● Does not cause irritation, redness or flakiness 

● Dermatologist-tested 

● Fragrance-free 

● Paraben-free

● Sulfate-free

Ingredients

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Coco-Caprylate, Conjugated Linoleic Acid*, Tocopherol

Does it Work?:

Again, the Own line is free from so many chemicals that are on my definite NO list: Parabens and Sulfates. I noticed a huge difference in my skin almost immediately.  Unlike the eye cream where I needed a few weeks to notice the change in my skin, my neck area responded within a few days.  The serum isn't greasy or oily and the tautness it promotes is enough to make me repurchase this item.  

Cost: $24.99 which is totally reasonable for a serum.

Where is it Sold?:

The product began selling at Ulta locations on March 1.  You can find the product here to go directly to the site.

Own Lifting Eye Cream

From time to time I'm given products to test drive. This month, it is Own Lifting Eye Cream which happened to be great timing since I was looking for something to help battle the dryness of winter around the sensitive eye area.  I have been really picky with ingredients when it comes to skin and hair products because the FDA approves too many sketchy ingredients.  I think we all need to become more aware of what we are putting in and on our bodies.  So, the good news is that Own products eliminate some of the ingredients I am concerned about.

Description of the Product:

Own Anti-Aging Lifting Eye Cream is formulated to lift and smooth wrinkles while brightening skin with clinically proven CLA technology. CLA technology lifts and firms, restores and hydrates so your eyes can look as good as you feel.

Own Anti-Aging Lifting Eye Cream has been clinically proven to:
● Reduce the appearance of crow’s feet by 61%
● Decrease in the total number of wrinkles around the eye area by 30%

Product Details
● Retinol-free formula
● Does not cause irritation, redness or flakiness
● Dermatologist-tested
● Fragrance-free
● Paraben-free
● Sulfate-free

Does it Work?:
From my experience, nothing gets rid of lines completely unless you are going under the knife or hit the Botox, but this product does reduce fine lines, especially if your skin is dry.  Since I have been traveling between Chicago and LA all winter, my skin has been suffering from the winter climates.  This product has helped moisturize the delicate eye area.  The fine lines become less noticeable and the skin is plumped up by hydration.  There is no scent for people who are sensitive to fragrance and the elimination of possible cancer-causing Parabens makes it a product definitely worth checking out.

Cost:
The price is $23.99 for .5 fl. oz, but as you know a little dab will do you on eye cream so this should last you a long time.

Discount for YOU!:
Click HERE to order the product and make sure to enter CLAIFABBO1 at checkout for 30% off your first purchase of Own products.  That brings the eye cream down to about $16.80...not bad at all! The code expires on 4/01/13.
