“I strived to raise the bar in skincare with plant-derived, toxin-free actives, eco-conscious packaging, and proven science. 37 Actives maintain 100% antioxidant activity up to six months after opening the jar and maintains all its actives to three-years after manufacture, while using mainly plant-based preservatives. No other brand goes to the lengths of post-market testing of 37 Actives. Our science is unprecedented.”, Dr. Macrene Alexiades. The 37 Actives skin care collection is free of parabens, phthalates, plastics, sulfates, mica, talc, animal and human-derived ingredients, and propylene glycol; in recyclable glass and paperboard using USDA-certified organic plant-derived ingredients; with post-market testing showing full activity and stability out to three years; and 100% Made in the USA with US-sourced ingredients.

I have been using the 37 Actives High-Performance Anti-Aging Cleansing Treatment and 37 Actives High-Performance Anti-Aging & Firming Serum for over two weeks. I know it might be a few weeks and months to come to the conclusion but I have my initial thoughts and impressions which I wanted to share with you guys.

37 Actives High-Performance Anti-Aging Cleansing Treatment

37 Actives High-Performance Anti-Aging Cleansing Treatment is formulated to cleanse and treat your skin, the 37 Actives Cleansing Treatment is an organically plant-derived cleanser.  It is designed to keep the skin blemish-free, it proved to improve redness, pigmentation, sun damage, and wrinkles.

The Key Anti-Aging Actives include 

• Pentavitin –  100% natural, plant-derived active that ensures deep hydration and generates a moisture reservoir that lasts for 72 hours. Strengthens skin barrier function
• Vitamin B7 – Biotin helps to regulate sebum, which controls the skin’s moisture balance
• Provitamin B5: Panthenol stabilizes the skin barrier function, reducing the amount of water lost through the skin, and acts as a natural skin healer and protectant. It also offers relief from itchiness and reduces redness
• Vitamin B3: Niacinamide increases production of ceramides and fatty acids, two key components of the skin's outer protective barrier. Helps soothe, moisturize, and even skin tone, reducing the appearance of acne
• Glycerin: With wonderful cleansing, emollient, and soothing properties, glycerin acts as a humectant, attracting water to the skin to restore suppleness
• Organic Spearmint Extract: Mint contains high levels of salicylic acid which helps loosen dead skin cells to prevent them from clogging pores. Anti-pruritic properties help soothe and calm infected or itchy skin
• Organic Peppermint Extract: Known for its anti-acne properties, peppermint is also helpful in increasing blood flow to improve dull skin

• Organic Green Tea: This powerful ingredient has significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, with studies suggesting green tea extracts can help prevent ultraviolet radiation damage
• And, Organic Pomegranate: High in vitamins and antioxidants, pomegranate also has anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging properties
• Organic Aloe Vera: This desert plant is packed with active compounds that benefit the skin such as mucopolysaccharides, which fight bacteria and help to rebuild new tissue, along with flavonoid antioxidants to protect skin cells from damage
• Also, Organic Olive Leaf: Extracted from the leaves of the olive tree, oleuropein is a superb antioxidant for cleansing skin; Proven to reduce reddening of the skin and dehydration as much as 35 percent better than vitamin E
• Plant-derived surfactants: Sulfate-free gentle foaming based on shea and cocoa to gently cleanse and nourish

This is a nice second cleanser for evenings and a great first cleanser for the mornings. The texture is creamy and applies well to the skin, it has a mild spearmint scent which is very uplifting. I apply it to damp skin, lather gently, and rinse with lukewarm water. It is gentle, does not irritate, my skin looks and feels pure and clean without being dry or stripped.

37 Actives High-Performance Anti-Aging & Firming Serum

37 Actives High-Performance Anti-Aging & Firming Serum provides over 37 anti-aging ingredients in one lightweight serum formulation for firming and toning the facial skin. Featuring high concentrations of peptides, hyaluronic acid, and anti-pollution and anti-glycation anti-oxidants, 37 Actives serum is designed for those with oily or acne-prone skin who want to fight skin aging. May also be applied on top of your regular cream to areas that need extra tightening such as the eyes, jowls, or to the entire face for extra firming.

Fortified with 37 anti-aging ingredients, including Peptides, Hyaluronic Acid, and Organic Coffee Seed, the silky serum absorbs quickly into skin to moisturize and hydrate, whilst delivering toning and tightening properties to reveal a youthful-looking visage.

Antioxidant Resveratrol helps to defend against the damaging effects of pollution and environmental aggressors. It is ideal for acne-prone or oily skin types that are showing signs of aging, you can expect a plump, revitalized complexion with restored bounce and resilience.

Fo my mid-30s combination skin, my first concern is congested acne-prone skin, so I have to be very picky for my anti-aging products as they tend to be so rich for my combination skin that they sometimes break me out. When I saw that it is suitable for acne-prone and oily skin types, it made me more interested in testing this out. I apply it twice daily to clean the face and around the eyes and gently massage it into the skin until fully absorbed. The product absorbs completely into my skin leaving no residue, there is a natural glow underneath my makeup without looking shiny or greasy. There is no detectable smell to the serum. I did not experience any irritation or breakouts but do notice healthy skin which looks supple and radiant.
