Juice Beauty uses scientific technology for organic innovations and has formulated a lightweight gel serum packed with potent ingredients called Stem Cellular Repair Booster Serum ($75 in the shop). I’ve been using the serum for almost a month now and have discovered that organic stem cells are indeed effective. I previously noted that I love Skinmedica’s TNS Recovery Complex, and while I still love it, Juice Beauty’s organic stem cell serum has found a place in my heart.

The Booster serum employs fruit stem cells derived from organic apple buds; grape buds & lemon bark. The proprietary blend improves cell recovery and regeneration, as well as protects skin from UV damage. The serum is rich in antioxidants including: vitamin C derivative, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate (MAP) and resveratrol. Studies have shown that resveratrol is truly effective in the fight against wrinkles when applied topically. There are a bevy of organic fruit juices, all rich in vitamins, phytonutrients and flavonoids that promote skin rejuvenation. Phytonutrients are antioxidant compounds that combat the visible effects of aging beneath the surface of the skin. Flavonoids are powerful antioxidants with anti-carcinogenic, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties.

The formulation also includes shea butter along with jojoba, sunflower seed and borage oils, which prevent trans-epidermal water loss and have anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing benefits. There is also hyaluronic acid and vegetable glycerin, which attract and bind moisture to skin, resulting in smoother-looking skin with decreased wrinkles. Vegetable glycerin is also a lubricant, which is ideal in a gel serum as it provides the kind of slippery feel of a primer without the use of silicones.

The Booster serum has a faint, citrus scent that doesn’t linger, much like the serum itself; which easily absorbs into skin. There is actually a slight tightening sensation when it’s first applied. The serum not only leaves skin feeling soft and hydrated, but also gives skin a smoother appearance that truly lasts until you wash it off. It’s ideal skincare for wearing under makeup. Juice Beauty’s Booster Serum is formulated to prep skin for the enhanced benefits of the Stem Cellular Repair Moisturizer – which I didn’t use. However, I’ve found this lightweight gel serum layers perfectly over my antioxidant and under sunscreen. Even when used with other products, it really does give the look and feel of fresher skin.

My approach to skincare has always been to protect during the day and regenerate at night. Thanks to Juice Beauty’s stem cell serum, I can now do both during the day. Stem Cellular Repair Booster will definitely be going into regular rotation but as for now, I’m not planning to go a day without this lovely, organic serum.
