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.
