THREE YEARS ago, I first reviewed ReVive Skincare Cleanser Gentil. ReVive, founded by noted plastic surgeon Dr. Gregory Bays Brown, is the height of science and style.
Recently, I renewed my relationship with the brand by using this gentle cleanser once again. Yes… this product has a massive pricetag at $65 per bottle. But I must admit, ReVive Cleanser Gentil is my all-time favorite cleanser. (And regular readers of this blog know I usually don’t force-rank favorites).
ReVive Cleanser Gentil is ideal for Normal to Dry complexions, and is specifically designed to purify skin without stripping it of it’s natural moisture. To use it, wet the face thoroughly. Then massage a small amount of the cleanser in circular motions on the face. You’ll be astonished at the luxurious lather this will create!
Why do I love this cleanser? My skin feels absolutely NAKED after I cleanse using ReVive… as if I have never worn a stitch of makeup. It doesn’t leave the skin feeling over-moisturized or over-dried… just perfect! I’m very much addicted to that squeaky clean feeling!
ReVive Cleanser Gentil Gelee retails for $65 at Neiman Marcus.
Funny–even though the season has technically changed, I am still gravitating to “Summery” fragrances. This scent preference is clearly my personal effort to cling to Summer, like a tired swimmer clawing at a life-preserver. 
Fomulated with Olive Oil, Olive Butter, Shea Butter and honey; Olivina Bath Soap is incredibly moisturizing. The 8 oz. generously-sized chunky soap also comes packaged in the most beautiful gift-worthy box. No wrapping necessary!
Olivina Hand Creme is ultra-rich and quick to absorb. I saw immediate improvement in the condition of my dry hands, and the bonus is a lingering Honeysuckle scent! Off-label use: If you have extra-dry skin–like me–don’t stop at your hands! Olivina Hand Creme is a strong ally in the war against dry elbows and abused knees as well.
