The beauty industry is constantly evolving, which is why I’m always on the lookout for new skincare brands that are trying to push boundaries. Recently, I’ve been putting extra effort into incorporating superfoods into my diet, so discovering Avinichi, a brand that produces superfood-infused skincare, seemed like a sign!
Avinichi has four skincare collections, each one featuring a signature superfood. I went ahead and treated myself to a product from each one of their collections because, just like when it comes to the superfoods that you eat, variety is always better! Here are my thoughts on each product:
The Mulberry Collection: The Hydrating Multifruit C-Serum
Just about every berry is known for being nutrient-dense. However, black mulberries have earned superfood status due to their uniquely high levels of antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins. The fruit extract is used in all of the products in Avinichi’s Mulberry Collection. With black mulberries being particularly loaded with vitamin C, I decided to give the brand’s Hydrating Multifruit C-Serum a try.
What’s in it?
As you can tell from the name, this serum is a vitamin C serum. However, unlike many of the other vitamin C serums out there, it offers two forms of vitamin C. This should make it doubly potent. The black mulberry extract in this formula is another great source of the vitamin too.
In addition to vitamin C, this serum also contains vitamins A and E. Its hydrating qualities come from humectants and plant oils. You’ll find the likes of glycerin, jojoba seed oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, and olive oil in this serum.
Is it Worth Buying?
I’ve been using this serum for about a month now and I couldn’t be happier with it. It has worked miracles on the visibility of the dark spots on the sides of my face, which are the result of sun damage. They now look noticeably lighter and the rest of my face feels much smoother too. It has produced results that are far better than other vitamin C serums that I’ve used, so I would most definitely recommend it!
The Camu Camu Collection: The Dark Circle Eye Perfecting Cream
Camu camu is a superfruit that many won’t be familiar with. It’s native to the Amazon rainforest and, just like black mulberries, this is another berry that’s packed with vitamin C. It contains beta-carotene, fatty acids, and protein too, making it a great one for the skin. Avinichi has used this berry extract throughout the Camu Camu Collection, which consists of products designed specifically for the delicate skin around the eyes. Since I’ve been battling dark circles for years, I decided to go with the Dark Circle Eye Perfecting Cream.
What’s in it?
In addition to camu camu extract, this eye cream also contains vitamins A, C, and E. Vitamins A and C in particular are known for how they can lighten the look of pigmentation, which is the cause of my dark circles.
There are several other noteworthy ingredients in this cream too. Caffeine, which helps to brighten and perk up the complexion, collagen, which is fantastic for hydrating the skin, and resveratrol, which is an amazingly powerful antioxidant, all feature in this blend.
Is it Worth Buying?
I have tried so many eye creams over the years. I got to the point where I had almost given up on ever being able to lighten the look of my dark circles. Well, this cream succeeded where the others failed. It took about two weeks of daily use before I started to see an improvement. Now, one month in, those dark circles are barely visible!
The Reishi Mushroom Collection: The Phyto Remedy Thermal Mask
A popular ingredient in traditional Asian medicine, the reishi mushroom is loaded with skin-loving minerals. It contains high amounts of potassium, manganese, zinc, and phosphorus, along with plenty of other essential micronutrients. In fact, it’s said that there are over 400 nutrients in total in a reishi mushroom, which is likely why Avinichi chose to feature this ingredient in their Reishi Mushroom Collection. I chose to try the Phyto Remedy Thermal Mask, a self-heating clay mask that promises to rejuvenate the complexion.
What’s in it?
Although reishi mushrooms may be the inspiration behind this collection, this mask contains several other superstar ingredients too. Vitamins A, C, and E make an appearance, along with the hydrating properties of aloe vera leaf extract.
You’ll find a number of other antioxidant-rich botanicals in this mask as well. The list includes lemon, coffee seed, Angelica, sweet almond, and arnica Montana.
Is it Worth Buying?
If you enjoy using face masks, this one definitely won’t disappoint. The way in which it heats up feels ultra-relaxing, and my face always looks much brighter once I’ve rinsed it off. My skin normally takes on quite a dull appearance in the winter but, so far, thanks to this mask, that hasn’t happened yet!
The Noni Collection: The Noni Night Repair Cream
A member of the coffee family, noni is a fruit that is grown across the tropics. It has been used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years due to its high potassium levels, a mineral that keeps the skin looking young and vibrant. It contains substantial amounts of vitamins A and C too, plus several other phytochemicals and antioxidants. I’ve been looking for a good night cream for a while, so I decided to try the Avinichi Noni Night Repair Cream.
What’s in it?
In this moisturizer, noni fruit extract is joined by a variety of other botanicals. Green tea, chamomile, aloe vera, jojoba, sunflower, and shea can all be found in this cream.
This formula is loaded with a selection of hydrating compounds too. Sodium hyaluronate and glycerin are renowned for their moisture-binding properties and are great for all skin types.
Is it Worth Buying?
I can see a visible difference in my skin immediately after applying this cream. It looks fuller, smoother, and fresher, with a definite glow to it. I love how my skin feels the morning after using this cream too. I wake up with a soft and dewy complexion, whereas skipping this cream leaves me with skin that looks quite dull and rough.
Summary
The concept of superfood skincare is pretty genius, and I love how Avinichi has managed to bring this fantastic idea to life. Each product that I’ve tried has been truly impressive, so much so that I’ll definitely be returning to the brand in the near future to further elevate my skincare routine.
