A kin Pure Moisture |
 |
Introduction & Overview |
A'kin is a skin care line which is known for catering to all skin types, as well as creating products that are hypo-allergenic; paying particular attention to those individuals who have sensitive skin and allergies. The A'kin 24 Hour Pure Moisture cream has become popular with individuals seeking out “pure” skin care products. It is unscented, because it was specifically designed for people who have sensitive, allergy prone and fragile skin.
Many of us look for products that may hydrate our skin, because not only does dehydrated skin feel uncomfortable due to skin flaking and irritation, but it also accelerates skin aging. This product is purported to be rich with elements that may “help soothe, comfort, deeply moisturize and help repair your skin”.

| Ingredients at a Glance |
A'kin 24 Hour Pure Moisture contains Vipers Bugloss Oil, which is full of Omega 3, 6 & 9 essential fatty acids. It also contains Shea Butter, Chamomile and Vitamin E.

| Ingredients in Focus |
This product contains Shea Butter, Chamomile and Vitamin B5; all of which are used to moisturize and calm the skin. Vipers Bugloss Oil is also used in this product, and it is known to contain essential fatty acids, such as Omega 3, 6 & 9, which may moisturize this skin. However, at this time there is very little information or research available about Vipers Bugloss Oil.
Vitamin E has reputation with both consumers and developers for increasing skin health, as well as alleviating scaring. Due it its antioxidant abilities, it may well ease the damage inflicted by free radicals on the skin, as well as ward off sun damage and damage brought about by environmental toxins. Chamomile is believed to have some anti-irritant, soothing and antioxidant properties, and Shea Butter is a plant lipid, which has been used widely as an emollient in cosmetics.
B5 is also known as Pantothenic Acid, and it is often used to address acne, but there is little research to support its use in this arena at this time. However, there is some initial research, which shows it may hydrate the skin and aid in wound healing. Our research suggests that it may not be as effective in easing skin dehydration as Hyaluronic Acid, which is a naturally occurring element in the body; where it is responsible for maintaining both the skin and joint health. Supplementation with this element has been shown to enable the body to restore its levels and boost suppleness, elasticity and smoothness to combat wrinkles.

| Website |
Online shopping makes finding skin care and anti-aging products easier than ever before; however, we always suggest looking at the developers or retailer websites to gather as much information as possible about a product’s capabilities, as well as the ingredients used in the formula. We find this website does an adequate job of providing individuals with information about this product. However, we would have liked to have seen some testimonials or customer comments posted, because this is a really good way for people to ascertain how effective a formula actually is. Nevertheless, we believe this is a rather low key and simple skin care product, so we are not surprised that this feature is not provided.
|
| Positives |
• Hypo-allergenic, simple formula
• Moderately priced
|
| Negatives |
• Low key formula that may not directly affect aging related issues
• No testimonials posted at time

| Final Thoughts |
For those people who are looking for a product that is hypo-allergenic, all-natural and may moisturize their skin, A'kin 24 Hour Pure Moisture may be the answer to their prayers. However, for those who are in need of a formula that will directly and quickly start to address age related issues, such as wrinkles and facial lines, this product may be a disappointment. It lacks any of the known and potent anti-aging elements, such as Matrixyl 3000® and Real Collagen.
Online shopping has opened up the marketplace, giving people access to a wide variety of products they may not have been able to access before. In fact, some of the most potent anti-aging products are only available online through the developer’s website. Also, some websites make it really hard to return skin care products, so we suggest looking for developers that offer easy online shopping, combined with a quality return policy and efficient customer care.
