NASSIF MD Nightly Restorative Serum, 2 Fl Oz

These are great skin products. Packaging could be improved on the pumps

It's pretty good seems to work

None of the products will give you overnight results. It takes time. I like that this is marketed to show how your face improves over time. It does take weeks to get a real good idea of how a product works. I put some of this on for tonight and I like the consistency and the feel after application.

I really like the NassifMD serums.As with NassifMD Daily Revitalizing Antioxidant Serum with 4x Antioxidant Complex, this Nightly Restorative Serum has a banana bubble gum scent. I detect every time I use this. This has added fragrance/parfum listed as an ingredient. Some people are sensitive to fragrance, many are not. This doesn't bother me at all, but I am disappointed to see it in the first third of the list before some good active ingredients- which doesn't that say that it has more of, or greater weight in a formulation? I give fragrance a pass when it is near or at or at the end.. but in the middle is concerning. Anyway, may not be an issue for you or the effectiveness, but I wanted to point it out.This brand was new to me when I first began using the Daily serum, and now I am much more familiar with it since trying the night serum. I am including bits from my Daily serum review as it is relevant. Being fairly new to me (and thinking it could be same for you) I had looked up more information. Not a lot of take away except as a Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon Dr Nassif created his own line of skin care, "NassifMD" and has something to do with the show, "Botched"."NassifMD Dermaceuticals™, a proprietary skincare line formulated to enhance, repair, rejuvenate and protect your skin’s health, at any age, inside and out. Trusted with Faces Worldwide®, all of Dr. Nassif’s products are Cruelty Free/Leaping Bunny Certified, made in the USA and strive to be Vegan and Gluten-Free."This Nightly Restorative Serum is part of a bigger line of products. Serums are put on after washing and if you use them, hydrating toners. Serums are concentrated ingredients that usually have something to help draw moisture in, such as hyaluronic acid. If you experience any stickiness with this, it is usually from that ingredient, but know that it dissipates. Just continue to gently tap/pat it in. After serum (and especially if it contains hyaluronic acid) you want to follow up with a moisturizer (and/or SPF) to hold it all in. Hyaluronic acid draws moisture- from air or from the skin. You don't want it to take moisture from the skin, so be diligent about following up with a moisturizer.This is very light, has a creamy look with low viscosity. It absorbs quickly, leaving the skin feeling soft but in my opinion.. still in need of a moisturizer. Like the Daily serum, it seems to play well with other products. I can use my hydrating toners, and lighter serums before, and I can add heavier creams on top. I like to take it down my neck, chest, and hands. I like adding a few drops to palm of one hand, distribute between both palms, then pat all over face, pressing product in. I've been using it just at night, but if you didn't have the daily serum, I think it would work then too.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088ZVDFH6/ref=pe_1098610_137716200_cm_rv_eml_rv0_dpI already use some good skin care products, and so I don't necessarily expect to see major improvement. But I am always looking for "better"-- because I am in my 40s, and despite having unlined fresh looking skin, I want to keep it that way for as long as possible. If you are new to serums and are looking to step up your skin care game, this one looks perfectly fine to try. Go for it! I had a little of the Daily Revitalizing serum left, and I really liked how using that in the morning then using this Nightly Restorative at night, as worked really well. The one aspect that keeps me wanting to use both are that 1. they work and 2. they allow for other products to be used. There isn't really anything that contraindicates- ie; I can use my retinol, vitamin c, copper etc..I like that it comes in an opaque glass jar with a dropper. It helps to keep the ingredients fresh, and away from light (which can break down ingredients).Key Ingredients & Benefits: (from webpage)--Formulated with Proprietary 4X Antioxidant Complex - Includes Vitamins C, A, E and F and supplies antioxidants to the skin that act as the first line of defense. to help fight free radical aggressors.--Contains Prodizia™, a Persian Silk Tree Bark complex, which has been shown to help a reduce the appearance of dark circles and to help brighten the look of a dull complexion.--Melatonin – Helps smooth and restore the look of tired skin.--Aesthigel - Provides essential hydration and skin smoothing benefits essential at night when skin can become dehydrated.--Works while you sleep for a more youthful-looking, rested appearanceHow to Use: Apply to clean, dry skin on face, undereye area and neck every evening.

NassifMD is a well known brand to many from its ongoing marketing on HSN. It has caprylyl methicone, an emolliating polymer, is its most prominent ingredient, and helps the serum to feel silky and easy to spread. What about Persian silk tree bark, also known as albizzia julibrissin? It is well regarded for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant qualities.The NasifMD Nightly Restorative Serum’s eighth most prominent ingredient, Phenoxyethanol, may be a concern to some. There have been reports of uncommon reactions to phenoxyethanol being quite rarely linked to eczema and strong allergic reactions. Phenoxyethanol use is often strongly discouraged by safe cosmetics advocates to be used around infants including those who are breast feeding. While the target market for this product is not likely to be young mothers, grandmothers love to hug their grandbabies and studies indicate this preservative should be avoided around the youngest of children. Those who wish to learn more and make the best personal decision regarding this ingredient may consider doing an online search for “phenoxyethanol safety.” Given this uncertainty, this is one reason why it is always important to consult your dermatologist first before embarking on any new regimen.

Edited to add: I've now begun using this as a booster serum. So I apply this serum, then my other face serum, then moisturizer. And I love how my skin has a soft glow in the morning. It's working for me. 😉Original review:Love this NassifMD nightly restorative serum more than I even thought I would! If you prefer cream based serums to oil based then you'll want this. I have oily skin, so oily serums make a mess on my face. This creamy serum sinks right in, no mess. I don't look like I just ran a marathon and forgot to wash the oily sweat off my face (I'm talking about face shine). I need more time to reap the benefits, but so far this is truly one of my favorite serums. I'll use every last drop of this and then order more, I like it that much.No skin reaction, either.

This arrives in a retail box with the dropper separate from the bottle which is safety-sealed. It is easy to assemble and all the ingredients are clearly listed on the side of the box. This is easy to use and feels good on your skin.

Dr Nassif MD has done it again with another impressive serum!! This serum, specifically for night usage, comes in a 2 fluid ounce glass bottle with a separate dropper, and is very lightweight with excellent spreadability, leaving a light, silky and smooth feel on the skin. It has a pleasant fragrance that is not overpowering or obnoxious.Ingredients list includes• Melatonin- which stimulates your body's natural production of antioxidant enzymes during the night when skin regeneration is naturally at its best performance.• Retinyl Palmitate- which converts to retinol, a powerful anti-aging ingredient that treats wrinkles by encouraging the growth of new skin cells.• Linoleic Acid (vitamin F)- strengthens the skin's protective barrier while providing excellent moisturizing and healing properties.• Maris Sal (Dead Sea salt)- contains many essential minerals for the skin.Lots of good for your skin ingredients contained inside this bottle. Applying this serum is easy as it absorbs into the skin quickly, then goes to work softening gently while I sleep. Used nightly, I’ve found my skin looks much more youthful and feels so much more supple. I’ve used it both alone or mixed into my night cream for extra hydration.This stuff is liquid gold.
