Canyon Ranch Spa "Your Transformation"

Product review: Canyon Ranch “Your Transformation” anti-aging skin care.

 

Now, I call it “anti-aging” because of the repair and restore skin properties.

In the desert, you need all the sun damage repair and restoration of skin elasticity you can get!

Below are facts and the three top activating ingredients in the products that I have tested.

Though, as usual, I have my experience test and review to report on plus the company’s side.

 

I tested three products, 2 in the skin care line and one in the body care:

·         Age Transforming Concentrate Serum

·         Restore Intensive Moisture for the face and neck

·         Elasticity Body Balm

 

The treatment goes first. So on my clean face; I pumped out two pumps of the Age Transforming Concentrate Serum. It has a light, silky texture, with good spread ability that absorbed quickly into my skin.  I used to pumps because I always slather everything down my neck in upward strokes and on the front of my chest which has severe sun damage from decades of the beach with no sunscreen!

 

The Serum is concentrated, so a wee bit will go along way as I found out after I pumped out two squirts and had ample left over for the backs of my hands after finishing, face, neck and chest.

This product contains the highest percentage (5%) of the ProNAD which is a bioactive vitamin B3 to do the most stimulation and strengthening of the epidermal layer of the skin.

 

The 1 oz. air tight packaging is recyclable, retails for $150.00 at the Canyon Ranch Spa properties, online at www.saksfifthavenue.com and your local Saks stores. (Like the Biltmore here in Phoenix!)

 

I followed with the moisturizer, though there is a second step available called the Hydramist, which I think is one of the beauty items you need to have on hand for freshening your face at the office, spritzing before moisturizer to help the skin absorb, you have recently been boating or at the beach, or if you have had too many martinis and you know your skin is going to pay for it.

 

The moisturizer is a rich, emollient textured, botanical smelling tub of goodness. It’s 1.7 oz, and retails for $95.00.  I like that I experienced a “picking” up of my skin after patting and tapping the product on and then massaging in.  Nothing says satisfaction with a product like seeing a quick return on application.  My skin felt good, looked plump, and had a smoother texture to it. 

 

The moisturizer has a 3% concentration of ProNAD the most active ingredient. This combined with the age transforming serum and I’m up to 8% of anti-aging skin repairing and restoring action. That’s more than my investment account return.

 

I also tried a 5 oz. tube of the Elasticity Body Balm which retails for $55.  I put this on everyone who came in my path in the past 24 hours.  The five ladies and one man who tried it all had the same general comments:

            “Smells great, not sticky, absorbed right into my skin, I can see the difference between which arm is wearing it and which isn’t”.  And about an hour later I asked one of the ladies to compare her arms again, and the one with the Elasticity Body Balm was notably smoother and hydrated looking.

The Body Balm also has 3% ProNAD in it along with Ceraplex, Antiox03, Shea Butter, Borage Oil, Camellia Oil, Almond Oil and Sunflower Oil.

KEY

INGREDIENT:           ProNAD™ is a unique, multi-patented molecule[1] that enables a bio-active form of Niacin (Vitamin B3) to be delivered deep into the layers of skin, rebuilding and reconditioning it from the inside out. ProNAD™ helps stimulate DNA repair by encouraging the skin’s natural healing process, strengthening and protecting skin against further damage.  Because of its strengthening properties, this miraculous molecule was selected by the National Cancer Institute for study as a potential skin cancer prevention agent.
