CARLY SAYS:
Thankfully it is getting easier and easier to find natural and certified organic beauty products on the market. Acure Night Cream is made by Acure Organics—a family owned and operated company, founded to honor the family’s grandmother who battled breast cancer for over 10 years.
 
It was for these good reasons that Acure Night Cream stood out to me amongst the many wonderful organic beauty products there are to choose from.

I first tried the Acure Night Cream from a small sample that one of the BFF Beauty Blogs Founders, Jenni , generously gave to me to try. I tried it on an evening when my skin was looking particularly aged and in need of some emergency TLC. So I rummaged through my box of samples that I was saving up for this very situation and was allured by the Acure Night Cream Sample. I covered my face with the cream and noted the wonderful smell and texture and the way the cream seemed to immediately absorb. Then I went to bed.

The next morning I awoke and was quite amazed at how smooth and clear my skin seemed. I thought perhaps it was just a lucky coincidence—that maybe it was just a good night’s sleep, or all the water I drank the day before, or a random three days of good nutrition finally catching up with my skin…but I was curious enough to order a bottle from the Acure Organics Web site: http://www.acureorganics.com/NIGHT-CREAM-argan-stem-cell-2-chlorella-growth-p/006.htm and was shocked at how affordable it was. It was worth trying.

Acure Night Cream boasts “nocturnal miracle! Age-fighting Argan Stem Cells, shown to help the skin’s natural repair process, while 2% Chlorella Growth Factor fortifies collagen and elastin fibers.” 


I have been using it now for close to a month and have indeed seen quite a remarkable difference in my skin. I have to give the credit to the Night Cream (as well as Acure Argan Oil and the Acure Line Eraser which I will also review soon) because, otherwise, I didn’t change anything else in my beauty routine. The most drastic and dramatic results have been that all of my “splotchiness” and redness have disappeared and the deep lines in my forehead and around my mouth have smoothed significantly. My skin seems to glow and looks plumper and younger.

I have gained immediate, and lasting results from using this product (as well as two other Acure Products). I am sold, and will keep these products in my beauty line-up indefinitely. The packaging is calming and beautiful (you may have figured out by now, that I am easily sold by beautiful packaging) and it has a beautiful, natural smelling scent. I also really love that Acure Organics is family owned and operated and that their products are created with great conscience—no animal testing, no parabens, sulfates, phthalates, synthetic fragrances and harmful preservatives and artificial colors. Lastly, I love that my purchase goes to support a cure for breast cancer. What more can I say? 

Acure Night Cream is available at:
