Recently I received a sample kit of éclos Skin Care   to try for a week.  These products feature apple stem cells to help aging skin behave like younger skin.  This technology can help to minimize the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and tired skin.  The products are based on plant resources.  These ingredients (such as green tea, chamomile, and willow bark) have anti-inflammatory properties, hydrate skin, firm the skin and encourage cell turnover, and boost collagen.  I always like to use products that are plant-based because my sensitive skin seems to work better with those.
In my sample kit there was one sample size of each of the following:

• Facial Cleanser Skin Prep
• Cellular Activator Face Serum
• Moisture Therapy Regenerative Cream
• Restorative Eye Cream
• Instant Radiance Facial Scrub
• Skin Renewal Clay Mask
• eclos Terry Cloth Head Band
• Coupon for $3 off Eclos skin care purchase

Other products are available from Eclos, including body cream and puffy eye cream.  That would have been nice to try, too.  I do need help with the crow’s feet and laugh lines around my eyes and mouth.  Another product I’d like to see would be a lip cream or balm to help get smoother lips.
I used the sample products in the morning as part of my regular skin care routine.  I was nervous at first because I have very sensitive skin that is easily irritated.  My skin must like Eclos because I didn’t have any problems!  The cleanser is very gentle, with little to no scent.  It didn’t have the drying effects of other anti-aging products I’ve tried.  Also, it was very light and easily absorbed by my skin, so there was no greasy feeling after using it.  I liked the product line and would purchase it if I needed a basic skin care line to use.
Eclos is formulated without parabents, sulfates, or synthetic fragrances/dyes.  Also, you don’t have to worry about petro-chemicals as an ingredient because they’re not in there!!  Eclos products are Made in the USA.

Here’s a before picture:

And the after picture:

The first picture came out rather dark, but I felt that my skin looked smoother after using Eclos.  I didn’t use any foundation in the second picture, so that you could see that my skin wasn’t as splotchy.  It looked a little brighter and fresher.  Dare I say younger?  Who doesn’t want more radiant skin?!  The deep lines around my mouth seemed to be less defined.  This is after one week of use; I’m interested to see what the results will be after a month or more.  I might have to start taking a daily bath in Eclos.
