Product Review: Mychelle Dermaceuticals Pumpkin Renew Cream

I had been dealing with red scaly patches on my skin for about a month when I first discovered Mychelle Dermaceuticals Pumpkin Renew Cream. I had purchased a sample pack to try, and used the cream one night before going to bed. The next morning I was amazed - the redness and itchy patches had reduced noticeably. Within two more days of using the Pumpkin Renew Cream, they were completely gone, with my skin being smooth and soft again!

Mychelle Dermaceuticals was started by Myra Michelle Eby, a former natural cosmetics representative. She started Mychelle in 2004, after several years of working to perfect her cosmetic products. The business is located at near Frisco, Colorado in the Rocky Mountains. All of Mychelle Dermaceuticals' products are paraben-free, non-toxic, 100% natural, eco-friendly, and cruelty-free.

For those who want to make sure the companies they support are involved in charitable activities, Mychelle Dermaceuticals is very active in the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation's Race for the Cure and also the Campaign to Label Genetically Engineered Foods.

The line offers products for both men and women, and for a wide range of different skin types and conditions. A line of shaving products for men is available - a shaving cream, splash and cooling lotion - along with products for sun-damaged skin; extra sensitive skin, sun damaged skin and acne/oily skin.

The ingredients in the Pumpkin Renew Cream include shea butter; pumpkin seed oil; sea algae; calendula; nutmeg essential oil; caprate, a moisturizing agent derived from coconut milk and additional anti-oxidants and polypeptides. The cream glides on smoothly and is quickly absorbed into the skin, without leaving a thick or oily feeling on your face.

Some people have noted that the Pumpkin Renew Cream also works wonders on acne. According to the Mychelle Dermaceuticals website, pumpkin seed oil, which is rich in fatty acids, has anti-inflammatory properties and also helps control oil production in the skin.

I have tried quite a few other natural products, but Mychelle Dermaceuticals Pumpkin Renew Cream has actually exceeded my expectations. I still use my non-herbal anti-aging creams and lotions, but when the winter winds blow and my skin becomes chapped and scaly again, it's the Pumpkin Renew Cream that I reach for to ease the discomfort.

Pumpkin Renew Cream and other products from Mychelle Dermaceuticals are available at many health food stores, and are also available online from the Mychelle website, and from online retailers such as Amazon.com. The cost for a 1.2 ounce jar is $23.80.
