Better than advertised!

I will admit that I only bought this product after being fully converted to an Arcona fanatic, so I already had faith in this skincare line... But it does not disappoint. I use all Arcona for my skincare, from cleanser & exfoliater to serums, moisturizers, peels & masks, and THIS is one of my favorite products. As the description says it absolutely leaves your skin "fresh, dewy, & youthful" and the results are instanaeous. But it also helps clear dark pigmentation & makes skin tighter and smoother over time. This is a miracle worker and the "Magic" in the title is no joke. I live in Colorado where it's super dry so I combine it with an Arcona moisturizer, when I lived in LA it was fine on its own. Can't recommend this product enough!

MAGICAL SERUM!

I am a skin care junkie. I use some Arcona products in may daily routine. This serum is the best item I have ever used! Currently I am only using this in the AM. Immediately I noticed my skin is smoother, tighter, pores are virtually invisible and the discoloration is almost non existant. All of this in a matter of a couple of days. I can not imagine ever using something different. My skin looks amazing even without any makeup. Worth every penny! I would pay more.

Great product

I've been using the Instant Magic Reversal Serum for about a year and I really like it a lot. I use it in the morning, applying it before the Four O'Clock Flower Daily Hydrator and I love how dewey it makes my skin feel! Make sure you pat this product lightly into your face instead of rubbing it in.

Works great

Tighten skin, heal capillaries, soak in fast. I don't see any tint on my skin from the serum after application.

magic

Comes out as an olive green liquid, and a little goes a long way. Just beautiful! It plumps the skin and gives a slightly dewy look. People are always complementing me on my skin!

Hydrating Serum

This is a lightweight, freshly scented serum that is hydrating. I use it daily with the Four O'Clock Flower and my skin is looking much healthier. I'm not sure why it's so expensive though.

What your skin needs

I absolutely love Instant Magic Reversal Serum. In the mornings I only lightly tone my face with Arcona Cranberry Toner and then use Instant Magic afterwards. I put Four O'Clock Flower on top of the Serum. This serum makes your skin feel immediately nourished. Ever time I use it I feel like I'm dousing my skin in something it desperately needs. As part of an all-Arcona regimen, this is a must. It combines all the good parts of the other serums that Arcona sells. Definitely recommend.
