Side by Side Comparison of: InstaNatural vs Cosmedica Skincare

You can only use at night it will stain your skin oarnge. besides that it works better than any thing ive for my oily face my skin looks younger firmer after only a couple weeks more so then any product ive ever tried. it burned a lil the first night when i put it on but your skin gets use to it quick. not meant to use during the day though is only draw back. also has helped even/brighten my skin reduce oil production and get rid of acne. smell is not very good but not unbearable.

When I was using this product, so many people complemented me and asked what products I was using on my face. No one product is a miracle worker. However, if you have a healthy diet and use this product then you should see glowing healthy skin. Healthy skin starts with a healthy diet and products simply help your skin get that extra boost. I would purchase this again.

Best product!!! I have been using this nightly for about two months and love this product. My skin tended to look dull and congested with occasional breakouts on my chin. I noticed a difference in my skin within the first few days of use. Two months in and my skin looks great. My skin looks fresh and healthy, fine wrinkles are much less noticeable, and my skin is calmer (always had a bit of redness before). Friends and family have actually noticed. My pores also appear to be smaller and I no longer need a separate moisturizer. Love this product!!!

This stuff is amazing. Unlike others, I didn't have the opportunity to have a discount but this is my holy grail product. I have mild acne and in combination with my tetrinoin .05% my face has improved dramatically. I use them both at night and on the weekends I'll apply the glycol if acid once again. Just make sure to wear sunscreen! I forgot to once and I got a small sunburn on my face. All in all 10/10. Not only does it clear my skin but it also helps to fade my scars 😁

InstaNatural has definitely rebuild my confidence and this is my honest feedback after 2 months of observation.I am a 31 year old female, 5"8, size 10 female. 6 years ago, I was diagnosed with Acne Vulgaris. I was on oral and topical medication and under observation every week. I watched what I consumed and though, the condition subsided, it left behind ugly marks, holes and scars as well as a huge inferiority complex. Every now and then, acne would flare up and my face would ache all over.For someone who never had any skin condition growing up, this was all very new to me. I had no idea what to do. Whatever I put on my skin, seems to just make it worse. A friend suggested applying baking soda on troubled spots. It worked, however, it made the skin on my face 3 shades darker than the skin on my neck. Bicarbonate soda does that. I was left with darker, dull skin and scars as well as the fear of having another major flare-up. I relied heavily on expensive foundation and sometimes would even go to bed with them if my boyfriend is visiting.Tired of it all, I did an extensive research on the Net and came across this product. After much mulling, I purchased it and it was delivered on time and well-packaged. I used it twice a day, after washing my face clean with a pH 5.5 Blyss facial wash and wiping it dry gently. The cream is orange in color, and has a faint smell to it. It blends well and is very easy to apply. I have never liked heavy products on my face.In 2 days, I saw improvements. My skin was brighter and more taut. In one week, the pores got smaller, even this one pore which I had since I was 14 due to a huge acne I decided to prick with a needle. InstaNatural Glycolic Acid fixed that too!1 month, and my skin tone is back to the same shade it was 6 years ago. Even, less wrinkles, smaller pores, taut skin and NO ACNE. It has been weeks since I have come across any acne. I do not use the Tretinoin gel prescribed my dermatologist anymore.2 months now, and I go out WITHOUT my foundation.

This product is amazing! My 21 year old son has had acne for several years and even when the acne is not in a breakout stage, due to his skin tone, there are always dark marks in the breakout area. He has been using it for 3 months now and his skin is not only breakout free but the dark marks from previous breakouts has faded to the point where you can not tell at all. He has an active social media following with 25,000 + followers and works as a model so a lot of pictures are taken of him. You can see the difference. It is a great product. You do have to be patient, but if you have struggled with acne, you are aware that often it takes a minute for your skin to reap the benefits of a new product. This is worth the wait!

I absolutely love this serum. I have noticed a huge change in my skin. The texture is smoother, my scars have faded, I have a good to my skin and go without makeup most days. I am a skincare junkie and I tried this looking to boost my moisturizer heading into fall/winter. I wash my face, use cucumber witch hazel I spritz my face with a collagen rose water mist and then apply this to my still damp skin I let it soak in then follow with Aveno night time cream and in the morning I use my sunscreen instead. I love it will be purchasing again.

First review I've ever written for a product goes out to this gem. Made such a difference in my skin! My forehead is no longer covered in those gross bump, my skin is smooth, wrinkles are less pronounced, and my skin looks glowy and feels hydrated. Will absolutely continue to use. Highly recommend!

I am loving this product! My skin has needed a pick me up for quite some time. As I have gotten older and had kids my skin is not what it once was, I am sure many can relate. My make up was not as smooth or flawless as it was before. I wanted to slow the aging process down and really focus on skincare.I use this twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening after washing my face. I use warm water, pat dry, then put the serum on. It is very thin but feels like it covers well. I use one droplet each time I put the serum on. I feel a slight pull or tug (very mild) on my skin - it really makes a difference almost instantly. My skin has never looked so good! I have a natural glow, I am evenly mosturized, and it's Works FAST!! I have already recommended my mother to buy this.My make up has looked much better as well! I am on week three right now and couldn't be happier!!

With 4,000+ reviews I can't add much except to say yes it really works.I am 50+ with large pores and in the winter my face becomes rough looking with age lines around the eyes. After a few days of using this I just looked in the mirror and yes, my face now appears unlined and smoother, with an interesting glow...no kidding. I can't wait to see what this looks like in the summer when the air is more humid. Obviously this doesn't 'remove' lines...but plumps the skin slightly to obscure them...but does the 'How' really matter? NOTE: I have also used real Retin-A and glycolic acid and find this better than either.We all have our regimen, here's my new one with this product: - Use a scrub like Olay Regenerist Microdermabrasion in the shower. - Right after the shower I use the Hyaluronic acid, 2 drops are enough to cover the entire face and forehead. - After a few minutes of drying I apply my favorite moisturizer over top.TIP: when you scrub do your entire face out to the jawline and forehead. Don't just concentrate on cheeks and nose.The 1st photo is before I began Hyaluronic acid, the 2nd photo after. The photos are not a fair comparison...as the 1st taken when it was cold outside and the 2nd one inside in a different light. But its a good illustration of how moisturizing can really help plump the skin.

I mix this with both day and night face creams. I swear by it! 1.5 yrs away from 60 and still hanging on.

Most recently I was using a hyaluronic serum that costs $80.00+ by Elk Grove medical spa for a mere ounce. You can imagine my delight when I tried Cosnedicas hyaluronic acid at $13.00+ for 2 ounces! I must mention that the Cosmedica is just as good and effective as what I was previously using, only more for less money. Thanks, Cosmedica, You rock!

Like it

havent seen any improvement yet

great natural way to keep your acne prone skin under control. I like that it reduces oils if you apply a few times a day. It doesn't dry the skin as much and seems to work if you wash your face everyday and apply cream at least two times a day to keep the oils at bay. It does have a slight scent but it fades with time. It does come out orange but when rubbed into the skin fades into the skin. I like it because it natural and doesnt bother my skin to much. Good product

I had been treating my adult acne-prone skin with drying topicals like 2.5% benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid toner, which in turn dried out the surrounding skin and caused visible flaking. No amount of moisturizer on top of that was correcting the problem. The first application of this glycolic acid cream stopped the flaking overnight. I now apply bp on top of this cream. The scent is wonderful; so natural and refreshing. The pump system is easy to use and sanitary. I can't give 5 stars, however, because the orange color is detectable on my fair skin - no matter how well I rub it in. I look like I've eaten an over consumption of carrots and carotene has accumulated in the skin. Tip: Keep and reuse the plastic insert that fits into the dispensing hole - don't throw it away!

After using a hole can I can say it helps to remove and fade away dark sun damages. Skin tone feels firmer then before. So that I have recommended this product to my friend. I hope scent need to be improved but keep the quality same as it is.

I've had this product a few weeks, and so far I really like it. It does have an orange tint when applied which I could do without. Initially, the prodcust caused more breakouts, but now it seems to be managing my breakouts. I haven't noticed any reduction in pore size or fewwer wrinkles, but what this does do for me is reduce acne! I have oily skin so pores get clogged and then....acne. I've noticed less acne and for that reason, I'll continue to use this product. If your skin is oily or acne is an issue, consider this product.

I have only used for two weeks, but I think it is helping with the fine lines. I think I need to use a bit longer. It seems as if I have to use a little more than directions suggest because it does dry instantly before I get a chance to smooth it over my face and neck.

My mom loves this so I thought I'd try it. I'm 33 without much skin damage or discoloration. I think it's working, but I'm not totally sure... My mom however is confident it's reduced her sunspots.

I have tried many skincare products, and so far this one is the best one used. To anyone wondering if this has the thickness or consistency of oil, it does not! It feels like you're putting water on your face. The hyaluronic acid doesn't feel sticky or or tacky, butreally does make the skin glow. I combination skin and this product doesn't make me break out or make my skin an unusual texture when I put my makeup on over it. I would recommend this product.

I have extremely dry skin and suffer from psoriasis. I'm thankful that I don't have it on my face, but I find that my skin is frequently parched. I was looking for a product that would revive my skin, make it look healthier, and also help it retain a bit more moisture, and I found it in this serum. The price can't be beat and I've only been using it for a couple of weeks, but my skin feels more supple and hydrated. I apply this product after I have cleansed and toned my skin, right before I moisturize at night. There is no harsh smell, it's quickly absorbed into the skin, and leaves your face looking plump and youthful. This is a great product! I couldn't recommend it more.

I have a very sensitive skin and after reading articles about hyaluronic acid decided to order this product. I have been using this for more than a week now and I do see the change in my skin. The product is suppose to retain the moisture in the skin but my skin feels dry after applying it and it could be the alcohol content in it. After reading a lot online I decided to apply it while my face is damp and still makes it dry but I do apply my regular moisture right after and that helps a bit. It still itches every time I apply but have not seen my skin breaking out or rashes so far. I would have given five stars if it did not dry out my skin so much.

Okay let's get to it. I purchased this product after hearing raves about how great hyaluronic acid is for your skin. A little background info for those who don't know what hyaluronic acid (HA) is, HA is a substance that is naturally present in the human body. HA retains 1000 times its weight in water so it is suppose to be very effective for hydrating the skin. Okay now that we got formalities out of the way let me tell you about my experience. From first use I found that the the HA actually made my skin feel drier! I would wash and dry my face, then apply the HA serum afterwards. But then I found out that I was actually applying it incorrectly. Experts recommend you apply HA to damp skin then after it dries, seal it with a good hydrating moisturizer. (I use cetaphil moisturizing cream for dry skin nothing fancy). After I've started following those direction I noticed a remarkable difference, my skin was plump, hydrated, and it was glowing! The HA does have a smell that takes some getting use to, but luckily the smell dissipates after a couple of minutes so no worries about your face smelling bad. The dropper allows for easy application, and the consistency of the serum is a tad bit thicker than that of water. Overall I am happy with my purchase. I took away a star because the directions don't really explain how to apply it well, and that caused my skin to dry up. I paid FULL PRICE and was NOT contacted to do this review so I can say that this is my COMPLETELY HONEST review. Hope I was of help to everyone, happy shopping 😊

I bought this item to treat the bumpy skin on the backs of my arms as glycolic acid is supposed to help get rid of them as it is a chemical exfoliant. The bottle says to use this on clean skin so I used after a shower and patted my skin dry. It has a pump and comes out orange with a very strange smell. It isn't so overpowering that you smell it once it's absorbed, but it is kind of gross at first. The reason I'm giving this 3 stars is because it did nothing for my skin. The packaging is very cheap and the pump feels as though it's going to stop working. There is not a lot of product in this bottle, either. I used it for 7 days straight, every time after a shower and on clean skin. I did not see any reduction in the bumps on the back of my arms nor did I notice my skin looking overall "better." It just didn't do anything for me.

I am not very fond of this cream, although I am a fan of other InstaNatural products. This cream is too thick and is bright orange. The manufacturer says it does not go on your skin orange, but I think it does add a bit of an orange tone to my skin as it is very orange, and very dense. I much prefer the Vitamin C Moisturizing Brightening Cream by this company, which has a slightly thinner cobsistency so it's easier to apply, and it is white and goes on clear. Both creams have similar ingedients.

Can't really see any difference in my skin after using this for several months. I'll finish up what I have but not likely to order it again. Was hoping to see some improvement to my skin.

These items and brand came highly recommended to me and the prices are great but I haven't noticed any changes or anything different.

I've been using it for a month and not a dramatic difference but due to me just completing chemotherapy may have something to do with it. Will continue to use becuase their emu oil is working great, I just have to be patient with the other product.

So far, so good. This cream feels really good on my skin, however, I haven't seen much of a difference in the clarity of my skin. I am in my early twenties, fair skin, with occasional breakouts. I was hoping this moisturizer would help with my breakouts, but it has not as far as I can tell. I only need to use a small dab to cover my face, but there really isn't much product for the price I paid. I'd like to try some of the other products, but the prices are a bit steep.

I bought this thanks to all of the wonderful reviews but I'm actually disappointed. I've used this for about 2 weeks or so and I've not noticed any positive changes. If anything, this dried out my face more, particularly my cheeks which is not a place that I've had issues with before. I've tried using 2 pumps then lowered it to 1 and I went from applying it 2 times a day to just once a day but still noticed dryness. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong but sadly, this product has not worked for me.

One week which isn't much time but do not see any difference in my skin. Seems really runny, like water. I apply it to my damp skin per some of the reviews and doesn't feel as drying. Smell is ok will continue to use and update if I see changes.

I have naturally severely dry skin and nothing works so I'm not too surprised that this wasn't a miracle worker. It's ok but not seeing a huge difference. I'm an esthitician and still recommend this to those who need a little boost and they love it :)

I am not entirely sure yet what my review is about this product. I chose neutral really not meaning a "3 star" to be a bad thing. I haven't had enough time to say that I see any changes in my 50 year old skin. Please ask me at a later time.

very nice to use before your face creme

When I review a cosmetic I like to describe my skin condition and disclose my skin care routine. I think the results are a sum of all the factors and not only about the product I am reviewing.I’m 38 years old and have mildly oily skin, acne and enlarged pores prone. I have some dark spots and patches result of sun damage and pregnancies (melasma). I don’t think I have many wrinkles and at this point I just want to prevent them. When caring for my skin I am looking for a more even tone and texture.My routine in the morning is: wash with kojic acid soap, vitamin C serum, aloe vera gel, mineral sunscreen.My usual routine in the evening is: wash with kojic acid soap, retinol serum, aloe vera gel. I have been using this serum in place of my usual retinol.I have received both Cosmedica Vitamin C serum and Cosmedica Hyaluronic Acid at a discount in exchange for my honest opinion in a written review. I have been using both for the past 2 weeks.This is the first pure Hyaluronic Acid serum I am using. I have used vitamin C with HA, but not HA alone.This serum is almost like water. No scent, runny, transparent. It’s absorbed immediately.This product claims to improve skin texture and brightness. Honestly, I am not seeing any specific results. Maybe I haven’t been using it for enough time, but I honestly think it is not doing much for my skin. When I use my retinol serum at night, I see my skin more radiant, specially in the morning right after I wake up. I don’t see that using this HA serum.I am in search of the right products for my skin. I am no expert in cosmetics but I think this is an OK product in terms of quality. I just think it’s not the right one for me and my skin type.I will go back to my usual retinol serum at night.UPDATE 6/28/16 - I offered this product to my husband to try. He has some wrinkles around his eyes and forehead and more of a dry skin type. He is using this serum for a couple of weeks every night before he goes to bed. His skin is visibly looking better. The wrinkles are less evident and his skin looks more moisturized and with a healthy glow. He likes it and keeps using it. Even though I don't think this product worked for me, I would recommend it if you have dry skin and wrinkles.

Not good if you have oily face problems , leaves your skin very oily .

I can not tell the different on this product.

I read the reviews and bought for my acne scars. Love vitamin c and the ingredients sounded great. However, the pump doesn't work and the formula broke out my skin. I have sensitive skin and usually use mild products, like coconut oil, rosehip oil, and retin a. This product broke me out and when I stopped using, my skin came back to normal. Idk if it's just defective, but for the price I paid and how it affected my skin, I am returning.

I gave it 2 months to work and I have not noticed a difference in my skin at all. It may work for others though!

Not a 10% cream.

It's orange, greasy, and broke my face out.

I wanted this stuff to work soooo bad. But after 2 months, it did absolutely nothing. I have the fine lines just as noticeable as before. I bought this for dark spots or Melasma, but it did absolutely nothing for it. Super disappointed considering the good reviews. It did make my face soft though. Not worth the money :(

I've been using this day and night every day for almost 2 months but it doesn't work good. I can feel my skin is getting drying. It's watery, didn't feel soak into my skin. After put it on around 30mins, can start to feel dry and uncomfortable on skin. I used another hyaluronic acid serum was much better, didn't feel uncomfortable. Disappointed and not recommend.

I only ordered one bottle and used it until it was gone. Since I did not notice any difference in my skin I did not reorder. I'm sure this works for others, but for me it did not have any effect on my skin.

I use this every day, morning and night followed by a moisturizer. I don't see my skin retaining much more moisture and I'm unsure if I'm simply using the product wrong. Disappointed.

No results at all with this product. Used entire bottle. Will stick with Skinceuticals.

saw no results using this..

Doesn't work I been using it and no results plus the package is big too

This has an unpleasant odor to it and is dark orange in color. Actually colors my skin initially.

Caused me to break out and stained skin orange. Didn't seem to work for my sensitive skin.

This is awful. 1) Color is orange which stains. 2) Very greasy which adds oil to my already oil skin 3) This just makes my skin very rough and rubbery. I regret even putting this on my face

Turns your skin orange...just warning you.

Not really impressed with this product. Didn't do anything for my skin. I even noticed when I use it that my skin loses its glow. Won't buy it again. There are glycolic acid products that do way better job than this cream.

Maybe I received a bad batch or they changed the formula. This did nothing for me. I have gotten better results with a homemade turmeric mask. Could be that the product started out legit and now they are just scamming.

Pure junk. Stay away!!

This stuff does not work. It is like putting water on your face.

Sooooo drying. The alcohol they use completely negates the point of the product.

Gave me a rash. This formula is cut with something, this isn't a pure mix.

the bottle is almost done and it didn't do anything i've used it for a month and there hasn't been a slight difference doesn't moisturizer my skin either.
