I'm always a bit skeptical of trying out new skincare products; anything labelled "anti-aging" usually sets in motion the fear of monstrous breakouts and oily eruptions. But I was recently pleasantly surprised when I discovered Jouviance, a Canadian dermatological skincare brand. I was especially intrigued by Jouviance's 3-in-1 anti-aging concept, which encompasses a day, night and eye cream in one product – the EcoRejuvenation Anti-Aging Cream. The idea of using one cream is definitely a novel idea and one which I can totally get behind (hello, beauty time-saver!). And it turns out I'm in love with the EcoRejuvenation Anti-Aging Cream. It's packed with all manner of peptides and skin-friendly omega fatty acids, but contains nothing harsh that could inflame delicate skin, such as parabens, fragrances or colors. It also doesn't have any retinol or AHAs, which can be public enemy number one for sensitive skin types. The EcoRejuvenation Anti-Aging Cream is available in two formulations: one for normal to dry and one for oily/combination skin, which is the one I'm currently using. More like a lotion than a cream, it lightly moisturizes without feeling heavy, and I've been using it for the last week or so, with no breakouts in sight. This cream promises smoother and brighter skin in four weeks, and while I'm not expecting miracles, I will report back on my progress in the weeks to come. One caveat: Jouviance doesn't contain sunscreen (a bit of a drawback for me, since I don't want to have to put on two creams in the morning), so don't forget to slather on the SPF before you step outside.

Anti-aging gives me the shivers. Maybe mid-twenties are not yet qualified as an 'aging' group cause whenever I use any anti-aging products, there's this never-ending cycle of breakouts.
This brand seems interesting. Still, I'm hesitant as I'm still nursing my wounds from my recent battle with Olay.
How do you do it? You always make me want to try stuff.
I love that this has no AHAs and no retinol -- those ingredients work well on skin that needs it, but for younger folks, it can actually make skin look older (until the user freaks and switches to something more appropriate for her youth).
This sounds like something I can use with my AHA (glycolic acid) toner, which I need to keep my skin clear, without turning my complexion into parchment paper!
Everyone's got to start worrying about aging sooner or later. Starting younger and taking precautions such as applying anti aging cream, sun screen, anything that will make your skin rejuvenate will stand out in your later years while many others around you are faced with dozens of wrinkles and more.
