Not your ordinary red apples from Safeway. If you’re a skincare enthusiast, you’re probably aware of the skincare benefits of Swiss apples. Touted as super apples because they don’t shrivel for months after they are harvested, Swiss scientists discovered that stem cells are responsible for their impressive longevity.
Stem cells and aging. Human stem cells have the unique ability to repair damaged cells but as we age, like all other things, they deteriorate. Think wrinkles, sagging skin, among others. Youth where art thou?!
An apple a day keeps wrinkles away? Reviva Labs Stem Cell Booster Serum ($30, 1 fl oz) uses Uttwiler Spatlauber (special Swiss apple) and Malus Domestica (stem cell extract). The rest of the ingredients are listed below:
Purified Water, Glycerin, Organic Aloe Leaf Juice, Emulsifying Wax NF, Malus Domestica Apple Stem Cell Culture Extract, Xanthan Gum, Lecithin (Soy), Organic Flax Seed Oil, Organic Borage Oil, Organic Green Apple Extract, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethiconol, Carbomer 940, Phenoxyethanol, Ethyl Hexyl Glycerin.
Compared to other serums I’ve tried in the past, this one has a thicker consistency that’s why I prefer to use it alone (under makeup). Per website instruction, it’s best to layer this serum with a moisturizer, preferably Reviva Labs’ Alpha Lipoic Acid Antioxidant Cream, Hyaluronic Acid Cream or DMAE Firming Fluid for better results. I have reviewed a wealth of moisturizers; if you have oily skin, you may benefit from Reviva Labs Glycolic Acid Daytime Moisturizer. I like that this serum is fragrance-free and comes in a pump dispenser. Despite the thickness, it still feels light on the skin. I can’t vouch for the anti-wrinkling effect because at late 39 (turning 40 in a matter of days), granny skin hasn’t settled yet. Imma vampire, haha! But seriously, delayed onset of wrinkles is the only thing I love with having oily skin. Overall, if you are curious about Swiss apples and stem cells but can’t afford the $300-tag Michelle Obama is using, this serum may be the product you are looking for.
Skincare, water, exercise, healthy lifestyle. While our skincare needs are different, it’s no secret that drinking water, exercising and eating healthy foods all contribute to preservation of youth. Aging is inevitable, it’s only a matter of time. Wrinkles will come and sagging skin will find its way. But at the end of the day, age is just a number. Look young, feel young.
this sounds so nice! I love Reviva Labs! WANT!
I love everything Reviva Labs. Sounds like a product I need to try!
That's right, age is just a number. I'm totally agree with you. By the way, the product looks very convincing. I'm so gonna give it a try. I want to look young too. XD
Couldn't agree more… Thanks Lindsay
Dang girl! I never would have guessed you are 39. You look GREAT!
I tried this a few months ago and didn't really see it doing much. It's a good idea in theory, though.
Let's keep it a secret ha? LOL Thanks Arielle. Honestly, I don't feel any different except that my bones click now whenever I stretch, haha
I am definitely going to have to try this!
I'm a Reviva Labs girl but I haven't heard of this one! Riddle me this, does this serum smell like apples? Because if so…SOLD!
No it doesn't smell like one. But who knows, maybe Reviva can pick up from your comment. Who doesn't love the smell of apples?!
Ok I want this ASAP! An apple a day keeps the wrinkles away- love it. Happy early Birthday girl 🙂
I'm so intrigued by this!
I definitely need to try this out!
This sounds good! I might try this one day!
I love this brand and have tried a few of their products but never this one. Sounds like another one for the wish list.
Had no idea about the benefit of apples!
gotta be Swiss apples though, yeah that specific 🙂
This sounds nice! I've never tried it.
Reviva makes so many good products!
I agree
Ooh – I seriously want to try this out! 😀
Gonna give it a try,I heard that Reviva's product is quite good.

I loveeeee apples. Consider me a fan of this one from Reviva!
You are a fabulous almost 40! I think this looks like a great product to use.
Thanks sissy. Geez in 2 days I welcome the big 4-0 life!!!
Love anything with apples! This sounds SO great.
I tried this serum but I have better luck with some of the other Reviva Labs serums. Of course I'm old enough to be your mom so there is that. I'm currently testing the new Elastin one.
Granting you're old enough to be my mom, does it mean that you had me when you were barely a teenager mom? answer me mom, LOL. You can't be that old!!!
This sounds neat! As a scientist seeing stem cells really piqued my interest.
I love REVIVA Labs and I would love to try this out
This sounds great! I'd try it.
This looks amazing! I definitely want to try it out!
