Hydroxatone Anti-Aging BB cream is a perfecting cream designed to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles while visibly lifting and firming. Claims to make skin look flawless instantly, by hiding uneven skin tone and minimizing the appearance of imperfections. Also supposed to brighten and moisturize. It contains Vitamin C to stimulate collagen and support skin health by promoting the skins own regenerative properties and helps to brighten the skin. It also contains a special blend of plant extracts to help calm and sooth irritated skin.

I have only used this BB Cream a handful of times, because even though it says it's moisturizing, it makes my skin feel a little dry. I also feel that it accentuates any dry patches that I may have on my skin. I do like the coverage it gives and I feel that it does a great job of evening everything out and making my face look flaweless. When I did wear this I used my ELF mist and set spray and that did help a little with the dry patches. I don't have any wrinkles so I cant' say if it truly reduces their appearance. If you have oily skin, this would probably work great for you.

Hydroxatone Anti-Aging BB Cream comes in five shades; light, medium, tan, deep tan and dark. The shade I received was medium. It retails for $39 at Ulta for 1oz of product.

Overall I think this is just an okay BB Cream. I personally would prefer the Olay or Avon BB Creams over this. The price is quite hefty as well, which also turns me away from this product.

Review: Hydroxatone AM/PM Anti-Wrinkle Complex Cream

Hydroxatone AM/PM Anti-Wrinkle Complex is a day and night cream that claims it will erase the appearance of fine lines around the eyes, reduce the appearance of deep wrinkles in the forehead area, reduce discoloration and uneven skin tone, hydrate skin, improve skins radiance, reduce the appearance of hyper pigmentation and increase skin hydration by over 20% 

Claims it's so effective because of three ingredients:

• Matrixyl 3000, which supports key building blocks needed for fresh youthful skin.
• Argireline, a unique anti-aging peptied designed to provide fast and visible results.
• Hyaluronic Acid, great for hydrating the skin because of it's ability to retain water more effectively than other substances, resulting in increased smoothness, softness and decreased appearance of facial wrinkles.

I have been using this cream for a few weeks now, but only at night because it is such a thick cream. I don't have any noticeable issues with wrinkles or hyper pigmentation so I can't say how this cream would work for those issues. I do however have some issues with dry skin and I feel like this cream works great for providing my skin with moisture and maintaining that moisture. I think I will get more use out of this in the winter since that is when I experience the most issues with dry skin. 

A little bit of this cream will go a long way, I made the mistake of putting on too much and it looked and felt like I had smeared Vaseline on my face, I had to go wash it off. Another thing that I have noticed with the cream is, to me, it smells like burnt plastic, which is still a little bit noticeable once I have it on my face, but it does wear off with time.

I like this cream for a night cream and I may like it more for a day cream in the winter when I do have those issues with dry skin. With that being said I would not purchase this product only because it is so expensive, $69 for 1 oz of product at Ulta.
