Kiehl's Acai Berry Damage-Repairing Skincare

SUPER BERRY TO THE RESCUE!

A little bird told me that a new superhero will be in town soon to combat environmental aggressors and stimulate skin's natural renewal process to improve and maintain healthy, glowing skin. Can you guess which superhero is this? it's the super berry called Acai Berry which is a fruit that has high antioxidant levels to help reverse and prevent oxidizing free-radical damage to skin cells arising from environmental and lifestyle stress. I'm salivating already!!!

Super Berry Acai [pronounced as Ah-Sah-E]

The Story of Acai

• The Acai is a palm tree that grows in the North of Brazil and is known by the people as "içá-çai", which means "fruit that cries.” For hundreds of years, Açaí has been a traditional food of the native people of the Amazon and used for its superior health benefits. To this day, Açaí is still revered in Brazil, and increasingly throughout the world.
• Acai is a powerful “super berry”. A “super berry” is a fruit considered to have exceptionally high levels of nutrients, antioxidants, and potential health benefits when compared to other foods.
• Acai has high antioxidant levels to help reverse and prevent oxidizing free-radical damage to skin cells arising from environmental and lifestyle stress.
• Among the highest in ORAC value (antioxidant capacity) of any edible fruit (15X higher then red grapes)
• Acai is a broad spectrum antioxidant, especially effective against superoxides and peroxyl free-radicals which produce oxidative damage on skin.
  

When mention Acai, some of us would say hey isn't this for slimming? well well now you can use for your face as damage repairing skincare! muahahaha!!! I tried the range and it smells like a herby lavender-ish kind of formula. Will put up some pictures soon! I'm so into anti-oxidant skincare products now. The thought of being youthful and having that plump glowing cheeks makes me scream like a girl (not that I am that old but hey the sun is bad nowadays in Malaysia).

Kiehl's Acai Berry Organic Skincare

I read that its developed by Kiehl's chemist using high concentration of super-antioxidant Organic Acai Berry from the Brazilian Amazon, in combination with Aloe Vera, Lavender and Rosemary Essential Oils to help skin repair the visible effects of both physical and environmental damage (now that explains for the herby scent). Now don't go rushing to Kiehl's to get samples! This super berry range will only be launch in January 2010 (and maybe you will get a chance to attend my Kiehl's Birthday Party with a superhero bang!).

The Acai Damage-Repairing Skincare Collection includes:

• Acai Damage Repairing Serum 50ml RM180
• Acai Damage Correcting Moisturizer 75ml RM170

Acai Damage-Repairing Serum

I am so leeming for the ultra-concentrated Açaí Damage-Repairing Serum which contains 10% extract of Açaí berry (an unusually high level of antioxidant protection that with daily use helps to restore skin’s tone, texture, and tightness due to environmental oxidation, sun exposure and other external skin stressors).
