I'd like to start out by apologizing for why this entry is so late. I wanted to do Riversol justice.

Riversol is a fabulous anti-aging skin care line by internationally-recognized dermatologist Dr. Jason Rivers. It is run locally in British Columbia, Canada.
Let me tell you something about skin care. It can be tricky. There are so many products out there that claim to do this and that and they don't. So its rare for me to come across a skin care line that does what it claims to do. Riversol is one of them.
The nifty thing about Riversol is, their whole product line contains an antioxidant called : thujaplicin (thoo.ya.pli.sin). Thujaplicin is an extract of the Pacific Red Cedar tree. It is a potent anti-oxidant that has both anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties.
Riversol's full line of products is about simplicity. There are only 7 products in the T Plus line. 2 cleansers, 4 moisturizers and 1 serum.
Riversol is a great choice for people with common sensitive skin conditions such as rosacea, eczema, and acne. The entire line is fragrance-free as well as hypoallergenic. It is also extremely gentle and can be used after most anti-aging skin care treatments as well as laser treatments. Now THAT is something!
Now, I take pretty good care of my skin. I do everything Im supposed to do and more. Imagine the surprise when my skin started looking even better!!
I sampled 4 products.
Each one is fabulous. The Gel Cleanser is perfect for all skin types. It is a gentle cleanser that gives you that clean, fresh-faced feeling after washing.
The Daily Moisturizing Cream is equally wonderful. You need so little yet it does so much. Your skin won't feel oily or sticky. It feels as though you have nothing on at all, yet your skin is soft and supple.
The Revitalizing Eye Cream does exactly what it claims to do. It reduces the appearance of dark circles and under-eye puffiness. The cream is so gentle and creamy and dissolves in right away. It is super hydrating and it instantly refreshes around your eye area.
Now the kicker for me was the Serum. It, in one word, is DIVINE. I have tried many a serums before. Some did good, some not so much. With this one my skin was ridiculously brighter. It felt soft to touch immediately upon application. It is just FANTASTIC. It is extremely gentle and is used to help prevent premature aging but because it has Vitamin C, it brightens up the skin as well. Really, really divine.
Another big plus for me was that all Riversol products made my makeup applications so much easier. Sometimes some skin care products take too long to absorb or can alter the way makeup goes on. None of these products did. It allowed for a smooth application and kept the skin hydrated all day long. And any makeup artist will tell you, that first and foremost, we need products on our clients skin that will not only stay on but will not affect our application.
I would highly recommend Riversol skin care products. You get what you pay for, which is a luxury skin care line made simple that works beautifully. You can view and order the full line of Riversol products at www.riversol.com or at selected physician offices.
