Though we’re in a golden age of celebrity beauty brands, I’ve been a skeptic of this trend for years. Famous singers, actresses, and notable red carpet regulars have always dabbled in commerce by slapping their names on a fragrance here or a conditioner there just to see them fade away. In the last few years that’s changed. Celeb makeup and hair care brands have made laudable strides with inclusive, targeted products. That’s less so with skin care, except for JLO Beauty as it enters a new phase of cutting edge formulations with That JLO Fusion.
On the heels of the That Glow Mist and Beso Balm launches earlier this year, JLO Beauty is earning its bonafides as a results-driven, multitasking line dedicated to all the pillars of radiant skin. To the hydrating staples essential for a healthy skin barrier, That JLO Fusion steps up with the resurfacing, brightening, and fine line-diminishing effects of the actives everyone agrees are essential to disrupt aging – Retinal, Vitamin C, and Glycolic Acid. As beloved as these ingredients are, they are rarely combined in a single formulation due to the irritation that comes from so many potent compounds hitting the dermis at once.
Thanks to an advanced formulation in which the Retinal is encapsulated and buffered by bakuchiol for slower release into the skin, Glycolic Acid can gently slough off dead skin cells while Vitamin C triggers brightness and collagen production without the burning sensation that typically results. Recommended exclusively for night-time use for all skin types – even sensitive – after toning, this radiance-boosting Holy Grail addresses all skin-care needs – exfoliation, brightening, firming, texture and fine line smoothing – in one serum. The addition of squalene even offers a level of deep hydration to prevent the flakiness some report with Retinal.
After just one week of use, in addition to my exfoliation-heavy skin care regimen, That JLO Fusion has noticeably helped fade a particularly stubborn patch of forehead melasma, and made me a believer in celebrity skin care and JLO, not just a beauty icon, but as beauty warrior for us all.
