So it’s been 4 weeks since I started using Meaningful Beauty twice a day and time for the promised update and review (read Meaningful Beauty and Cindy Crawford Are Becoming a Part of my Daily Routine). So does Meaningful Beauty work as promised? Well, that depends. I did see some difference – my flakiness was gone instantly and that was a nice change. And my pores are definitely cleaner, though still large, but that’s probably genetic. But I didn’t really see any huge, drastic changes in the amount of my wrinkles. Perhaps if I’d have started using this in my 40’s instead of 50’s I wouldn’t have had as many as I do.
I will say using the product was easy. Following the whole routine took just 3-4 minutes both morning and evening. I loved some of the products and would continue using if I was able to purchase them separately. I loved the Crème de Serum – the way that it glides on and feels on my skin is fabulous. Any extra on my fingers I’d rub into my hands and the softness was nice. I also really loved the Glycolic Treatment Pads – they had a slight citrus fragrance and really felt like it was providing the exfoliation it promised. And by far my favorite product was the Skin Brightening Décolleté and Neck Treatment SPF 15 – what an unexpected bonus! On older women the decollete area between the breasts really shows age and this made a seriously huge difference in the look and feel of my skin there.
What I didn’t enjoy and found really disappointing was the Antioxidant Day Crème SPF 20 UVA/UVB. I tried it once and found it irritated my skin so I stopped using it. In fact, my skin broke out shortly after starting the new routine and it’s not cleared up the entire trial period and in the last two days it’s gotten considerably worse with a huge, painful breakout on my chin. I’m guessing my combination skin just isn’t the right match for the product – I have very dry skin mixed with very oily skin. For someone with a dry complexion I think this would be perfect. Notice how dry my skin is in the before photo and almost greasy in the after.
Will I continue using Meaningful Beauty? I’m not sure. If I could purchase the pieces I like I probably would, but most of their products are sold in kits. Still, I’m glad I tried them and I’ll be using up the last of the products so I’ll let you know if there’s any change in my results.
This is the last time I subject you to close-ups of my naked face! Promise!

I tried Meaningful Beauty as well. I didn’t notice any difference except that my skin feels so much more hydrated and soft. I did not like the day creme, it didn’t break me out but it made my face so oily. I do wear it at nighttime and I’m continuing the routine because I don’t think 4 weeks are enough to determine if it works or not. If I find after 2 – 3 months that I don’t see a difference in wrinkles and such I will try a different regimen at that time. I love the serum though and want to continue it regardless.
Thanks Terri – I visited your blog, very cute! I love the EcoStore giveaway and shared it and a few others. If I had a baby I’d enter! 🙂
I see a difference in your pictures too! I just had a minor freak out this morning about wrinkles under my eyes–I thought my oily skin was supposed to protect me from wrinkles! Ha! I’m definitely going to be researching eye creams tonight, so I’ll have to check out this brand.
I could see a difference.
Thanks Jeri!
while I could definitely see a difference this made (yay) I’m sad they only sell it in kits. I usually like buying in pieces too.
I realized the picture makes it look like there’s a lot of difference – I didn’t see it in person. But I’m wondering if I used enough. It’s been 30 days and I’ve only used half of all the products. Maybe I was too sparring?
I’m going to keep using it until it’s gone and see what happens.
Thanks for the comment!
What a great review Connie! I’m sorry that your face broke out from the cream…that is strange! My face is dry/normal (and not very sensitive), so I didn’t have this problem. I think the appearance of my skin has greatly improved.
I tried to get close-up pics, but they kept coming out blurry lol…
I love the neck cream too – that’s where I need the most help!
I have the HUGEST breakout – even worse than yesterday but I’ve had it the whole time. I kept hoping it was hormones, but 4 weeks? Not likely. I HATED the everyday sun cream so if you want it just email me you addy and I’ll send it to you. I burned my eyes when I started sweating.
Glad you liked it – I think you’re in the perfect age group – prevention is everything. If you wait until you’re old like me it’ll be too late 🙂
