I always look with joy, but also with a dose of admiration at the enthusiasts who decide to produce cosmetics and place them on the Croatian market. The cosmetics market is extremely competitive, so starting your own production, in addition to unlimited faith in your product, also requires a certain amount of courage. So I was happy to try two APRIVE products, AGELESS Regenerating Cream and GLOW UP Exfoliating Serum.

Aprive cosmetics emphasizes the high concentration of active ingredients, with the complete absence or the smallest possible measure of potentially harmful ingredients, so it belongs to the growing group of so-called. clean cosmetics.

The founder of the Aprive product line, Anita Mikulandra Schweiger, with her well-groomed and youthful appearance, is the best proof of effectiveness and recommendations for her products. She says that her Aprive cosmetics are effective, clean, so-called. cosmetic skincare line. The products contain high percentages of clinically proven active ingredients, of different molecular weights, formulated in an appropriate pH environment, which the skin can recognize and absorb and give a visible, long-term result. The products do not contain potentially harmful ingredients and have not been tested on animals.

The line includes five products; facial cleansing gel with cucumber and oat extract One Step, ageLess regenerating cream, Glow Up acid exfoliant, vitamin c serum and SOS Skin for problematic skin with acne.

AgeLess peptide cream stimulates the synthesis of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, prevents the formation of new wrinkles and reduces the visibility of existing ones, and hydrates and nourishes the skin. It contains 4 active ingredients, 3% matrix peptide complex, hyaluronic acid (two molecular levels), vitamin c, green tea extract and provitamin B5.

My skin loves creams with peptides and always responds great to them. The cream is quickly absorbed and has a rich texture. I would recommend it for dry and normal skin as it will be too rich for oily skin and the skin could glow. It regenerates the skin, and the contained chamomile extract is soothing. It is applied in the morning and in the evening on the skin of the face and neck. It tolerates the make-up that follows well. The downside is the smell, probably of green tea which I personally don’t like, but it doesn’t necessarily mean it will bother you.

AgeLess cream represents a good price-quality ratio. It contains more expensive active ingredients, and the packaging itself is a hygienic, airless (airless) pump bottle, which prevents contamination of the cream.

The business policy of Aprive cosmetics is focused on the importance that the products contain top-quality active ingredients and have a practical, and therefore more expensive packaging, on which they base the consumption of most of their budget. Investments in marketing and advertising, which is ultimately less important for the customer, are not in focus, but the primary and crucial quality of the product. Consequently, the price is lower and the quality is available to a much wider range of customers.

Glow Up serum is a mixture of AHA acids (glycolic, mandelic), BHA salicylic acid, ceramide, oats, licorice and green tea extract. It removes the stratum corneum of the skin and stimulates its regeneration. It is a watery gel texture and absorbs quickly.

The mixture of acids will do a gentle exfoliation and after 5 to 7 days you will really get a uniform complexion, less visible spots, and a light glow. It is not aggressive to the skin and it tolerates it very well. Thanks to the ingredients, efficiency and packaging itself, this product, like the previous one, represents a very good price-quality ratio. I recommend using it in the evening because of the possible photosensitivity of the skin after applying the acids.
