So, here's two more to add to the mix. Azure sent me a bottle of their organic retinol moisturizer, as well as their cucumber infused eye brightening gel.
Let's start with their organic retinol moisturizer. Here's what they say about it:
HOW DOES IT WORK? Cellular renewal happens continuously when we're young, but as we age the skin's ability to renew itself slows down. Retinol has a very small molecular structure that allows it to deeply penetrate your skin activating collagen and elastin. Applied at night ULTIMATE Retinol Moisturizer will increase your skin's moisture, promoting cellular turnover and renewal.

RETINOL WORKS! Retinol is one of the most effective ingredients for reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Vitamin A is proven to improve pigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, skin texture, skin tone, color, as well as increase your skins hydration levels. This Moisturizer is the most advanced Retinol product currently available. We have designed a delivery system that allows very high strength 2.5% Retinol to be used around the eyes and even by people with sensitive skin. Our elegant suspension of Retinol combined with a synergistic blend of other active ingredients, softens and heals the skin. Combine with our RETINOL Serum and experience the ULTIMATE Anti Wrinkle Tag Team!
HOW DO YOU RECEIVE OPTIMAL RESULTS? Start using in your late twenties or early thirties. Early use of Retinol can combat fine lines before they become apparent. If you don't have prior experience using Retinol products start slowly and be consistent with your use. Apply a small amount every other day, after a couple of weeks you can begin applying more frequently as your skin adapts. Just like exercise, it is very important to use your skin care products consistently. If you do experience any irritation decrease usage for a few days and work your way back up after that.

The Nitty Gritty:
I was initially nervous to use this product. Lime is acidic and is known to be potentially irritating to skin. I was expecting this to smell like citrus also.. but actually, it doesn't. Instead, it smells like lavender, yum! Plus, the lime is the second to last ingredient, meaning that it contains a very low amount of lime in comparison to everything else.. meaning that it's unlikely that it would irritate. In small amounts, lime can actually be good for the skin, as it has astringent properties and fights acne.
The cream is medium-weight, but absorbs fairly quickly and definitely makes my skin feel soft. However, after using this product for a few weeks, I unfortunately didn't notice much of a difference, aside from it feeling softer. However, the ingredients make up for it. This product contains a whole bunch of really delicious ingredients that I know are good for my skin.
You can purchase Azure Natural's lime infused 2.5% retinol moisturizer for $19.95 on amazon.
Now this... this, I love. It is amazing. But, before I go into my own opinion, let's read what Azure has to say about it:

I can't find an full ingredients list, which seems to be hit or miss with Azure.. but I did find a pic, which I'll post below, then pull out the good stuff for you.
The Nitty Gritty:
The product comes in an airless pump, like most Azure products I have tried. I only use about a pump of product, if that, since you don't need much for the entire eye area. I was pleased at the scent- refreshing and cucumber-y, but not overpowering. It looked like more of a cream than a gel. I was expecting a clear... well, gel-like texture, but instead it was white and felt creamy/gel-ish. As soon as I applied it to my eyes, I knew I was in love. It felt so cool and refreshing, totally freaking amazing! Also, within a minute, I felt the eye area tighten up. Plus, it absorbs quickly and doesn't leave any residue or flakiness, like many eye gels I have tried.
I must say, though, that, while Azure states that this product fixes nearly any cosmetic problem of the eye area, I didn't notice much of a difference when it came to the dreaded undereye bags. Instead, it seems to work best as an anti-aging cream.
Still, this is a really great product that I absolutely love and recommend to anyone looking for an anti-aging eye treatment. You can purchase Azure Natural's eye brightening gel for $17.95 on amazon. The 1 oz bottle is sure to last quite a while.
I think so, too :)
