Garden of Wisdom Concord Grape Antioxidant Serum: This is amazing! Garden of Wisdom is an etailer that sells a plethora of ingredients for those who dabble in mixing their own skincare. They’ve also created a line of finished products that is just out of this world! I’ve been using this religiously every morning and the results are obvious. There’s a definite glow that wasn’t there before. It contains a chockfull of the latest and greatest antioxidants, including Resveratrol, which is the super antioxidant that is responsible for the anti-aging benefits of red wine. Like many of their products, this serum has ZERO fillers. The texture is light and watery, absorbing readily with zero residue. The price is totally right at $16.85 (there’s even a travel-size version for $5.25!). I wasn’t able to take a picture of my bottle, but the picture above features their different travel-sizes (I just love their containers- very DIY-esque). This line is perfect for oily and acne-prone types who are looking for anti-aging and antioxidant skincare. More reviews to come for this amazing brand!
Juice Beauty Green Apple Antioxidant Serum: This is another great antioxidant serum for oily skin types. The light gel serum is packed with good ingredients from beginning to end. I love reading potent ingredients, like Ubiquinone and Milk peptides, on the top of the ingredient list. I’m very impressed! Instead of using water, they incorporated antioxidant-rich, organic fruit juices as their first ingredients. This also has Willowbark Extract, which means it’ll help treat blemishes and exfoliate while providing antioxidant protection. I rarely break out anymore, but this helped clear up some clogged pores I had around the jaw line. I even use this on my neck and décolleté for a more refined neckline.Here’s my disclaimer: I write extremely researched reviews after extensive, self-conducted testing. I do not review products I dislike; it's a waste of time and typing skills. This review contains both products I purchased and company gratis. I was not paid to write this review. My first priority is to my readers; company gratis does not guarantee placement. Affiliate and non-affiliate links are provided to inform readers of where to purchase products. All in all, you can be sure that items seen on my website are the very few products that qualify for recommendation after rigorous testing.

these sound perfect for my skin, how come i've never heard of them before? great to know!
great review!
Do you have any recommendations for sunscreen?
These sound like the sorts of products I need! I'm prone to breaking out when my hormones fluctuate and it would be nice to have a topical product to help even this out. Thanks!
Hi there!
Thank you! For my extremely finicky skin, I've had great luck with 100% Pure Fruit-pigment Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20. I top it off with a light dusting of self-made mineral SPF powder for extra protection. If you can provide your skin type, I can make a rec based on that :)

Hi New England Girl!
Serums like these are a must for every skin type, let me know how it works out for you :)

I have combination skin, mostly toward normal/dry, in my late 30's.
I'm looking for sunscreen that doesn't leave my skin greasy and if it doesn't have the typical sunscreen smell that would be a definite plus.
Hi Anonymous :)
If you can use chemical sunscreen, I recommend the following:
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 30 or Peter Thomas Roth Uber Dry Sunscreen SPF 30.
If you are allergic to chemical SPF and can only use physical/mineral SPF, I recommend the following:
100% Pure Sheer Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20, Fancl Sunguard SPF 30 or Nia 24 Sun Damage Prevention 100% Mineral Sunscreen.
Hope this helps!

These sound like a fantastic alternative to Ole Henriksen's Truth Serum. =)
Hi Catherine!
I haven't tried Ole Henriksen before but I've heard good things. I don't think I'll ever get around to trying them though, there are so many serums I want to try from Garden of Wisdom- already plotting my next order ;)
