I thought it was about time I gave a review of the YBF Skincare Control product I had the pleasure of receiving from Darrell Owen, co-founder of Your Best Face Skincare product line.  I have never really reviewed a product before so bare with me and please do give me some feedback if I’m not making any sense or if you have some questions.

First of all Control comes in a 30ml/1oz container, which definitely makes it easy to take on any flight as it will meet Airport Securities requirements.  Control has an orange colour with a very slight scent.  There is no heavy perfume smell and the cream is fairly thick and pliable. What I do like about the product is how quickly it is absorbed into the skin. There is no greasy feeling left behind and my skin feels fresh after applying it around my eyes. I find most skin products do not absorb as quickly and usually make the skin feel slightly greasy.

I will admit I was skeptical of the product, but I enjoyed using it.  I haven’t been using it as prescribed and have only been applying it in the mornings as part of my daily routine over the past 30 days. That being said I have noticed improvements in the overall appearance of my skin in the areas that I have been applying Control. Though I didn’t really have many wrinkles to begin with but the ones I have are being reduced. As a side effect I’ve noticed that when I have dark circles under the eyes they seem to disappear shortly after I have applied it under the eyes.

I love the way this product feels and is absorbed.  I like that it does not leave a heavy perfume behind, doesn’t feel greasy and you can blend it with any other product including sunscreen.

Now for some drawbacks.

First of all I have to say that at $160 per bottle the average person wouldn’t be able to afford it.  I am not a chemist and I am not familiar with the ingredients that it contains.  Also for that price I would have expected a larger bottle.

Secondly the bottle itself leaves something to be desired.  There is nothing fancy or elegant about the way it is designed. I would have liked to have seen a glass bottle which you could see how much of the product is remaining. Or a nice black bottle giving it a more masculine look and appealing more to men.

Thirdly I would have hoped in this day and age products would come with some sunscreen built in.  I am always worried about sun damage and having some sunscreen built into the product would make it that more desirable.

Overall I give the product an 8.5 out of 10.  The product to me does exactly what it says it will do; it “controls” your skin and helps it from the daily stresses while rejuvenating your skin, controlling wrinkles and adding some anti-oxidants.  Russ is having better results with it than I am and he swears by the product.

YBF Skincare you have a great product here and thank you very much for allowing me the opportunity to test it out! If you have anything more you’d like me to test, please contact me :).
