Jurlique Herbal Extract Recovery Gel Review Summary |
|
Jurlique was founded by a husband and wife team who were trained as a physician and horticulturalist, respectively. The company takes a holistic approach to skin care using plant-based remedies made from only organic herbs. Herbal Extract Recovery Gel promises to hydrate and balance the skin while also providing protection from toxins, while this product does contain a fairly wide array of herbal antioxidants, when it comes to softening the appearance of wrinkles, this product falls a bit behind. We will take a closer look below.

| Ingredients In Focus |

Chamomile is one of the oldest garden herbs, whose reputation as a medicinal plant shows few signs of waning. Considered a universal remedy by the ancient Egyptians, Chamomile continues to be used today as a tea to settle the stomach, promote calm and relieve anxiety at bedtime.
As a skin treatment it may be used to improve tissue regeneration, revitalize dry and sensitive skin, and help restore balance. It also helps to reduce inflammation and heal wounds.

| Benefits to the Skin |
|
Julique claims that when used under a moisturizer, its Herbal Extract Recovery Gel can help to fight fine lines and wrinkles, as well as prevent moisture loss. Its formula consists of a number of vitamins and herbal extracts designed to fortify the skin against environmental damage by providing a source of antioxidants. Although antioxidants are important to the skin because of their ability to protect it against free-radical damage, they are not an effective treatment for existing damage or wrinkles. The only way to soften the appearance of lines is to plump up the “cushion” of collagen that rests just beneath the surface of the skin.
