A few months back the lovely ladies at Pink Ink started a skincare love blog series where they talked about what 'good skincare' entails. You can view the start of the blog series here.
Cole's Notes version is based on Pink Ink experience and research a good skincare regime recommends you cleanse daily morning and evening, that you exfoliate regularly depending on skintype, freshen or tone your skin daily morning and evening, moisturize daily morning and evening and finally protect your skin from the damage of the sun.
They than reviewed Mary Kay, Seacret, Luminesce, Arbonne, Aloette, Enjo and Skincerity to see the results of these products on their skin during the trial period and gave readers feedback on the pros and cons. In the final installment they compared how the various lines met that criteria as well as their effectivenss at doing so, the value for ones budget and the ease of finding the ingredients on the packaging and so forth and created the cool little infographic based on their experience in their final blog entry "who sells the best skincare products" which can be read in its entirty here.
This is what they had to say about Aloette on their blog:
What everyone should know about Aloette -
Well, as the name indicates it is made with Aloe!!! Aloe is actually
the number 1, 2, or 3 ingredient in the products in the skin care line
(if you look on the ingredients list of any product, the first listed
product is the primary ingredient, the second listed is the secondary
product etc...) We spoke with a representative from Aloette and did
some research. We found out that Aloette's aloe based delivery system
allows it to be categorized as a medical grade skin care line as
opposed to a cosmetic skin care line. The aloe in combination with
other natural ingredients has properties to replenish, renew and repair
damaged skin!
The other interesting fact that you should know is that Aloette features a "farm to jar" philosophy, meaning that they grow their own Aloe Vera specifically for their products. It is certified organic, paraben free and clinically shown to be three to ten times more potent than any other traditionally grown Aloe on the market - NICE!!
So if you read our last blog you know our feelings about companies saying that they are organic or natural. Although there are quite a few ingredients in th eAloette product line, the first, second or third ingredient IS ALOE. This is a really good thing. Why? Aloe has been cited as an amazing healing agent for the skin. Many use pure aloe to help heal topical burns. Aloe Vera also speeds the recovery of skin wounds and stimulates cellular rejuvenation. Again - NICE.

| Aloe Pure 8pc Skincare Line |
Gentle Foaming Cleanser - This cleanser
gently removes oils and impurities while restoring the skin's natural
moisture balance. It has chamomile and green tea extracts for a clean
feeling and aloe vera (of course) to soothe irritation.
We tried this cleanser and loved it!!!
After using it, our skin did not feel tight but more refreshed and
clean. We both used the cleanser with a cloth for optimal cleansing.
We also noticed a citrus smell to this cleanser. Retails: $22
Essential Cleansing Oil - So although this product has various oils in it's ingredient list (safflower, evening primrose, sunflower seed and avacado) it is not oily! It cleanses and removes makeup amazingly well while plumping lashes and leaving skin refreshed. The product is water soluble, does not leave a residue and moisturizes the skin as it cleanses!! You use this product in the evening while using the gentle foaming cleanser in the morning. LUV this product. Truly loved it, truly works, truly love. Did we say we love this product yet? Retails $23.50

Skin Refining Toner - After cleansing,
the skin refining toner is used to remove any remaining traces of
makeup, dead surface cells and any pore clogging impurities. It does
this without drying the skin. It has ingredients to nourish the skin.
We honestly felt that this toner definitely helps to refine pores and leaves the skin feeling that much cleaner after cleansing.
Retail: $21.00
Time Repair anti-wrinkle serum - Serums absorb past the first layer of skin and when fortified with vitamins and healing properties, will repair damage and protect new skin. This particular serum reportedly diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. How? Let's explain the real cause of wrinkles. Lack of moisture can cause skin to wrinkle like a prune. A build up of dead skin cells on the skin's surface can cause shadows on the skin making it appear like you have deep wrinkles. So when you add moisture, vitamins, aloe vera and certain types of acids (alpha and beta hydroxy acids) together on your skin you are accomplishing the goal of diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Aloette's Time Repair Serum is formulated for all skin types, non irritating, and is lightweight which absorbs quickly into the skin.
After using this product, I can not say I've seen diminishment in the appearance of any fine lines and wrinkles BUT I have seen a difference in the texture of my skin and my skin feels so smooth!
Retails: $50
Nutri C Moisture Creme - I love when I use a moisturizer and my skin feels like it's taking a tall drink of water. This moisturizer hydrated and did not feel greasy at all. It soaked into my skin within seconds of application. Love it.
Retails: $25
Nutri Hydrating Mist - It is truly a
mist that you spray on when you complete the above steps. Leaves skin
hydrated and fresh. It has vitamins A, E, C and B5 complex that work to
increase cell regeneration and reduce visible signs of aging. The aloe
vera and silk amino acids increase the skin's moisture levels and is
good for all skin types! Very nice product - very nice!!
Retails: $24
Pink Ink's thoughts: The Aloette product is wonderful. It is nourishing, hydrating and definitely has improved the texture of our skin. The one downfall is that there are so many steps! The nice thing is that after a few days of using the products, you get accustomed to the steps and it does not take long. Loving the Aloette - Pink Ink approved!

I just love the honest and unbiased review they have done on the lines they experienced ... in my experience it is so true that there are many amazing products on the market and everyone's skincare experience is unique. As a result what one person may find works well another person can get even better results with another line. I myself tried many different lines before finding the amazing results I have with Aloette for my sensitive and challenging skin to truly get not just clean skin but skin that is replenished, renewed and REPAIRED which was my goal.
I did want to point out that while you can buy the pieces reviewed 'individually', for the cost quoted above for the 5 preferred pieces they enjoyed, there are several skincare lines available in Aloette depending on your budget and the results you want to see. When you bundle into one of our Value Packages you can see even more significant savings to get you the best results for the best price!

Plus I promise that while yes there are 8 amazing products in the total skincare line to ensure you get those amazing healing results it honestly takes only 3 minutes in the morning and in the evening to complete all the steps they are quick and easy AND if you are concerned you might be overwhelmed you have your consultant available to answer questions and give you tips and tools on how to remember ~ I personally loved that Jennifer my consultant suggested when I starting out to buy pretty basket for on my vanity and take a sharpie and write on products 1, 2, 3 and so forth to help me remember the best order for the best results ... AND she made a pact with me to use them daily for 28 days faithfully so I had a little calendar I would 'check off' that I had done it to create my new habit of investing in myself and my skin ~ easy peasy and now i cannot imagine 'forgetting' to wash my face.
Also the products lasting 3-4 months is a VERY conservative time line depending on the product and how much you use ... with Aloette a little can go a very long way and still get you amazing results. So for example I go through more of my morning cleanser and Hydrating mist because I use it on more of my body than just my 'face' so am more likely to relace those every 3-4 months however my other products in my line I have been able to see more of a 6 -9 months use from such as my anti-aging serums I am currently heading into month 10 and still have a few more applications in there. Aloette really does give a lot of VALUE for the amazing healing results that you can see from our product line.
If you are in the London Ontario area and would like a personal skincare consultation to see how you Aloette can get you amazing results for your skin too please give me a shout via email or phone and I would love to let you try before you buy.
