The Power Of Pomegranate

I was recently sent a sample of Naturaline Swiss Cosmetics Pomegranate Liposome Eye Cream. The cream retails at £8.99 for a 20ml from www.allcures.com. According to the information attached Pomegranates apart from tasting amazing have a number of benefits including cellular regeneration, anti-aging, boosting collagen, hydrating skin and acting as an anti-inflammatory.

  • Cellular Regeneration: – “Pomegranates protect and strengthen skin cells on outer layers (epidermis) and regenerate cells in the deeper layers (dermis) of the skin. In addition, it stimulates keratinocytes on the skin’s surface that encourages cellular regeneration.”
  • Anti-Aging: – “Packed with powerful antioxidants, this incredible super fruit is a natural anti-ager. A combination of Anthocyanidins, ellagic acid, and punicalagin work in synergy to help increase microcirculation that boosts cell renewal and antioxidant production to fight free radical attack.”
  • Collagen Boost: – “Pomegranates stimulate and extend the life of collagen producing cells called fibroblasts and contain the antioxidant ellagic acid that helps to reduce collagen breakdown. One pomegranate posses 48% of the daily recommended intake of vitamin C which is an integral part of collagen formation and its molecular structure helps to penetrate the skin to deliver hydration to the skin leaving it plump and radiant.”
  • Anti-Inflammatory: – “Inflammation of the skin can lead to an array of issues and can lead to premature skin ageing. Pomegranates contain polyphenol antioxidants and conjugated fatty acids that combat and heal aggravated and inflamed skin”.
  • Hydrating: – “Pomegranates are packed with omega-5 fatty acid, which helps lock moisture in to the skin. Pomegranate oil is easily absorbed and penetrates deep in to the skin to nourish, hydrate and protect.”

With this in mind I was keen to see what the Naturaline Swiss Cosmetics Pomegranate Liposome Eye Cream could do. I work two jobs and sometimes I feel this creates huge bags under my eyes that I could carry a week’s worth of luggage in. I wish I’d taken before and after pics as I really did notice a difference. It’s not like I have huge lines under my eyes, but I did feel after using the cream – it gave me a fresher and more awake look than when I didn’t use the product. I’m a convert and it’s now part of my daily and nightly makeup routine. I’ve even taken to carrying it in my handbag for a quick freshen up on days I go sans makeup.

Two of the other pomegranate beauty boosters include the Korres Pomegranate Moisturising & Balancing Cream Gel £19.00, 40ml and Korres Pomegranate Grenade Cleansing & MakeUp Removing Wipes £7.00, 25 wipes both from www.lookfantastic.com
