At The Amazing Blog, we can't resist luxurious skincare not just with the branding but for the ingredients too. As regular readers will know, discovering new formulas is our passion, and today we have an Australian skincare that has a new ingredient that we want to introduce.

Fuishena Skincare comes all the way from beautiful Byron Bay. Founded by two sisters Fiona and Lucia Berwein. They took their inspiration from their parents, who asked them to join them in their supplement and lifestyle business. The two sisters have taken the leading role in creating a new brand and developing the existing formula into a super antioxidant skincare line in collaboration with Canadian and Australian laboratories. They teamed up with formulators who helped them with proven clinical trials as the effectiveness of their advanced formula VitaNova™ This super-antioxidant ingredient interacts with the skin on a cellular level. There are two lines of skincare Divine Ambrosia and Divine Nektar. Divine Nektar, is designed for brightening dull complexions and ideal for those with sensitive, oily/ combination skin, who live in warmer climes.  The Divine Ambrosia is for normal to dry skin, again it's also for those with sensitive skin but who live in a colder climate and have fine lines and wrinkles. Fuishena is a skincare where science meets nature and wherever possible, they only use organically grown products from the region. It claims to have remarkable anti-ageing properties with this patented VitaNova™ antioxidant, which is designed to return skin back to its natural, glowing beauty. They are cruelty-free brand, have packaging without plastic and support recycling with their glass bottles..

 We were sent the Divine Ambrosia Serum with 8% VitaNova™This serum is a rejuvenating, anti-ageing serum which nourishes and regenerates helping to counteract the ageing process. This looks and feels luxurious, presented in an elegant frosted recyclable glass bottle with a dropper;  we love the branding with its white faux leather embossed pouch (to store this serum out of sunlight). They are the first Australian brand to utilise the VitaNova™ ingredient, which was originally introduced into Asian skincare over ten years ago. It is made up of a carbon allotrope called fullerene, where its antioxidant power is unlocked by emulsifying with a blend of amino acids and vitamins. They produce their products in small batches, in darkness, to ensure all ingredients are kept fresh and active. The VitaNova™ has excellent versatility and can detox, brighten, moisturise and be used as an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-ageing formula. How does it work? VitaNova™ is a super antioxidant that can find, bind and remove free radicals and other toxins from your skin. It is over 100 times more potent than vitamin C. It rejuvenates the skin by converting free radicals into water and oxygen. Its anti-inflammatory properties deal with redness, irritation and impurities, which is especially helpful after laser or other invasive treatment. The antimicrobial function eradicates infected areas and helps to reduce noticeable pores size. This serum has the highest concentration of VitaNova that will make it a firm but also be a gentle rejuvenator. The other ingredients here are vitamin E, which can also block free radicals, and replenish lipids and in turn slows down the signs of skin ageingThe sweet almond oil improves your skin's overall appearance and luminosity. It also contains some vitamin A, also known as retinol, which evens out skin tone and texture, brightening the complexion. Vitamin C promotes collagen production as well as prevents premature ageing. It also has properties that suppress aggressive melanin production in the skin, which can cause skin discolouration, dark spots or hyperpigmentation. The aloe vera will act as another antioxidant; it contains enzymes and vitamins, aiding inflammation, acne or dry skin. The avocado and pomegranate oils will shield and offer protection from UV damage. Finally, the white tea extract has further antioxidants that reduce oxidative stress on the skin’s surface. I used this serum for two weeks and loved how it was hydrating enough, to use alone. The honey-coloured liquid has a soft floral/white tea scent. The serum's velvety texture glides evenly with its abundance of active ingredients that left a delicate and protective layer on my skin. I did notice my complexion was less dehydrated and fine lines were plumped up too, although I would need to use the serum for a longer period of time, to give a proper conclusion. Yes, I would buy more… to purchase your  30ml Divine Ambrosia Serum for £79.00 see here.

Nephria - Jade Serum

  blog

We’ve been hearing about The Nephria Jade Serum  for quite a while and those that we spoke to alluded to it being one of the beauty industry's best kept secrets. So we at The Amazing Blog wanted to try it out for ourselves. It’s a highly concentrated serum that absorbs deeply into the skin for an apparently more intensive effect. The Serum is a multi-vitamin for the skin - nourishing, enhancing and balancing the texture. It is definitely designed to soften lines and wrinkles and also has some astonishing testimonials with before and after photos.

Everything is sourced from the Orient and there are some truly extraordinary ingredients in The Nephria Jade Serum:  Nephria Mineral Water (from the reservoir 400m under the Jade Mine in South Korea) which is unique and a very special Mineral Water;  Nephrite Jade (this simply is a micronised jade powder that helps to improve the appearance of skin by making it brighter); Natto Gum (which is the fermentation product of soy protein and has strong antioxidant properties); Hyaluronic Acid, Squalane, Glycerin, Olive, Apricot and Jojoba Oils, Myrrh, Green Tea Extract, Amino Acids and Vitamin E.  However, I’m afraid that we do have some negatives on the ‘other’ ingredients as this Serum also contains a few of our personal bugbears such as: Alcohol and Parabens as well as Butylene and Proplylene Glycol – which is rather disappointing with something so very special.

This Serum is beautifully packaged in a wonderful eau de nil coloured glass bottle and coordinating box and will make a very elegant addition to any stylish bathroom or dressing table. The packaging was the first thing that caught our eye.  We pumped just a small amount of serum onto our fingertips and we instantly noticed that it had a fresh scent that was not too over powering. The white serum had a very light texture that spread easily onto the skin and is absorbed quickly. Additionally, this Jade Serum with all its ingredients will help to stimulate collagen production and thus penetrate deeper into the skin. You can purchase Nephria's Jade Serum on their website for £45 which may sound like a lot but trust me, even with regular use a little will go a very long way.
