A few weeks ago, a handful of Circ-Cell formulas arrived at the doorstep and before I describe our instant connection, can anyone tell me how I missed this brand? Covered from Allure to Vogue, this luxurious lineup is out-of-this-world spectacular.
What’s it all about…?
A hybrid of circle and cellular, Circ-Cell emphasizes the harmony of nature and science. Maya Crothers, a beauty enthusiast who earned an MBA, created the range after relocating to Wyoming where a drier climate and high altitude required a professional grade solution. Results oriented and free of fillers, artificial dyes and fragrances, every treatment elevates your skincare regimen with seriously indulgent textures and aromas. Below are three impressive complexion perfectors, I’ve had in rotation over the last month or so.
Mandarin Cleansing Milk
For skincare to sound edible, it has to be something citrusy. Am I right or what? The Circ-Cell Mandarin Cleansing Milk features zesty notes of Orange, Grapefruit and Mandarin Peel Oils to revive the senses. The real magic happens courtesy of Licorice Root, Seaweed Extract and Vitamins C and B5, all of which brighten, condition, and firm the skin. While enzymes and fruit acids gently exfoliate, Soothing Aloe Vera makes this low to no foaming face wash a great fit for all complexion types.
Can this Cleansing Milk double as a makeup remover? Absolutely. While I avoid wearing full on war paint, my tinted SPF and undereye brightener melt away in seconds. Use it on a dry or damp face. After giving yourself a stimulating massage, rinse it off and admire ultra clean, soft, and smooth skin. Deliciously remarkable. $45 (4 oz.)
Red Algae Clarifying Masque
My borderline addiction to face masks had me shaking as I slathered this Circ-Cell Red Algae goodness over my forever congested face. If anyone’s skin needs to be purified, it’s mine. I noticed the smooth and creamy texture immediately. It applies like a dream. The pump dispenser is extremely handy and ensures easy application of the thin layer that is recommended. The cooling sensation never approaches a tingling territory and the minty herbal aroma is a welcome addition. My skin did look pink after removing the mask ten minutes later, but the hue quickly morphed into a radiant glow.
Known for its purifying properties, Red Algae is the hero ingredient here. Blended to perfection with various clays and plant oils, the refining formula also nourishes and brightens rough, uneven tone. If you find it too strong to use over your entire face, focus on the T-zone or apply it as a spot treatment. It’s potent without being aggressive; this one doesn’t play around. I’m loving it. $70 (50ml)
ABO +|- Eye Serum
Unique, superb, dramatic – just a few adjectives that come to mind when describing the Circ-Cell Rejuvenating Eye Gel. Infused with more oxygen than is carried in human blood (if you haven’t picked up on the ABO +|- part), this innovative treatment awakens the delicate eye area that can be prone to fatigue, loss of firmness, and elasticity. The added Algae Complex stimulates collagen production, which tones and tightens the skin over time.
Extending beyond the standard gel texture, Circ-Cell eye remedy’s cushiony slip provides immediate moisture. Infused with Radish Seed and Argan Oils, Shea Butter, Plumeria Flower, Wild Yam Root and Lilac Leaf Extracts, this exotic blend feels posh and delivers notable results. It works great under a concealer during the day, but those struggling with dark circles will notice significant improvement as well. Apply day and night! I began using eye cream at twenty. For me it continues to be the best preventative anti-aging step in my arsenal. $118 (.5 oz.)
