Product Description: M2 Skin Care introduces their NEW Body Refinish. It is designed to smooth and even out skin tone, and reverse the signs of aging. Its unique blend of antioxidants, humectants, and exfoliants transforms dry, sun damaged skin and works wonders on problematic skin conditions like eczema and keratosis pilaris (those pesky bumps on the back of arms). How does it work? Malic acid, derived from apples and pears, and Mandelic Acid, derived from almonds, are effective at treating multiple skin issues- from fine lines to pigmentation and improving overall skin texture. And they are gentle and suitable for all skin types. M2 Body Refinish helps controls the oil in the skin, and protects from redness and irritation. Malic Acid keeps the skin hydrated while fighting the skins’ free radicals that contribute to skin damage and pigmentation. Mandelic & Malic acids also contain collagen-producing properties that repair and rebuild tissue, softening fine lines and wrinkles by maintaining the elasticity and strength of the skin

Mandelic Acid is naturally antibacterial so it fights of acne- causing bacteria. Ideal for chest and back break-outs.

Malic Acid moisturizes the skin. Features Vitamin E to protect skin from damaging free radicals.

Sun Flower Seed Oil has powerful moisture retention properties with high concentrations of Vitamin E. It is used clinically due to its ability to strengthen the skins barrier helping to combat irritated skin conditions and infection.

Chlorella Vulgaris has known contents of glycoprotein (basic energy molecules that help in the tissue building process) and has shown to stop the development of potentially hazardous, damaged cells as an anti inflammatory.

Atemesia Vulgaris Extract is a potent natural source of antioxidants that scavenges nitric oxide (one of the most potent free radicals that harm cellular tissues) and has also been shown to increase levels of glutathione and ascorbic acid which are two of the five natural forms of antioxidants found in human skin. Increasing their concentrations is a challenge and M2 has been able to do so. Ascorbic Acid is Vitamin C.

Hyaluronic Acid helps the skin retain moisture (less prone to wrinkling) and serves as an efficient "carrier" of other anti-aging ingredients to cells

Aloe soothes and moisturizes

Co Q10 energizes cells and prevents free-radical and environmental damage to the skin, as well as improves tone, texture and firmness.

Joi's Thoughts: I have been using this like an all over lotion. It sinks it fast, but it does leave my skin a bit sticky and tacky feeling. I have continued to use it because I like stays a bit smoother longer with the lotion, especially my legs. Tip: Do not use immediately after shaving, wait a day or two. It's a bit pricey, but if you have problem skin that could use a little more than traditional lotion try this product. I don't have keratosis pilaris, but I could imagine it's more than just a pesky little problem especially during the summer months, if this can help it's worth a shot. Plus, the packaging is pretty cool, with it's clinical white look with a touch of modern cooper accenting the bottle.
