Product Obsession: Eminence Organics Review Part Two - Eight Greens Youth Serum & Moisturizer

I recently did a review of Eminence Organics Oily Skin Starter Set (see review here), and now I am moving on to a few of their anti-aging products.

When it comes to what I use on my face, I really need to be careful. My skin has a tendency to break out without logic or reason at times, so I usually need to give a product at least a week to see if the breakouts go away or get worse.

That being said, I've been a fan of Eminence for a while, and I can honestly say that everything I have tried by them has only made my skin happy. :-)

The Eight Greens Youth Serum  is an energizing serum for dehydrated, oily, hormonal, dry or devitalized mature skin types. In addition to Eminence's signature Biocomplex formula (antioxidants, vitamins, CoQ10 and Alpha Lipoic Acid), it contains Yucca Extract (anti-oxidant and phytoestrogen), Flaxseed/Linseed Extract (Omega 3's and anti-oxidant), Hop Extract (anti-oxidant), Vitex Agnus Castus (source of anti-oxidant biofavanoids) and Paprika to invigorate and rejuvenate the skin. It also contains Lavender Oil to calm, soothe and replenish moisture.

Price - $42.00 for 1oz
Full Ingredients List - Yucca Juice, Lavender Extract, Glycerine, Linseed Extract, Yucca Extract, Chasteberry Extract, Hops Extract, Horsetail Extract, Paprika Extract, Biocomplex (Vitamin A, Ester C, Vitamin E,Coenzyme Q10, Alpha Lipoic Acid), Spring Water, Glycine Derivative, Lavender Oil, Red Clover Extract.

The Eight Greens Whip Moisturizer - is a "facial rejuvenator to help the skin look and feel younger by maintaining a normal hormonal balance, increasing collagen production and elasticity, and improving skintone, firmness and hydration." This powerhouse moisturizer contains most of the same ingredients as the serum, but also has Stone Crop (hydrating and nourishing), Thermal Water (source of minerals to soften skin), Red Clover (anti-oxidant and isoflavone), and Chlorophyll (bioflavanoid which helps to rejuvenate skin's surface). The texture is rich, but is actually mattifying to my oily skin and so far has not broken me out. :-)

Price - $62.00 for 2 oz
Full Ingredients List - Yucca, Horsetail, Hops, Red Clover, Paprika, Linseed, Stonecrop, Lavender, Bioflavonoids, Yucca Juice, Corn Germ Oil, Natural Cream Base, Biocomplex (Vitamin A, Vitamin C Ester, Vitamin E, Coenzyme Q10, Alpha Lipoic Acid), Salicylic Acid, Glycine Derivative, Glycerine.


My overall thoughts on these two products is that while they state they are primarily for mature, hormonal skin, I feel they will be just as beneficial to younger, oily and acne prone skin as well. They are both hydrating, yet seem to keep oily shine at bay, which for me is a HUGE win! I also find the scents to be quite intoxicating, which may explain why I keep reaching for them in my cabinet. ;-)

As with all really pure products, you only need a very small amount to benefit, so again, these products are very cost effective. So far, these are my absolute favorite Eminence products that I've tried and I will definitely repurchase!
