“C” Perfect Skin

• No pore clogging ingredients, beneficial for all skin types, even oily skin
• Anti-aging moisturizer penetrates to repair the look of damaged skin
• Visibly minimizes wrinkles, reverses discoloration and smoothes scars
• Encourages healthy elastin and collagen
• Highly concentrated, enough to use daily for 2 to 5 months
• Contains Ascorbyl Palmitate, an oil-soluble, highly stable form of vitamin C
• Gender neutral scent
• Prevents free radical damage from stress, sun, smoke, etc.
• Not a sunscreen but can help reduce sun damage and will turbo boost your sunscreen
• Encourages elimination of clogged pores, blackheads and milia
• Excellent under makeup

Note: The cloudiness at the bottom is extra Ascorbyl Palmitate, the oil-soluble Vitamin C. When I first started making that product for myself I put in more C than the oil could bring into solution (‘cuz I’m a pig for antioxidants!) then as friends and customers started loving it, I kept the formula as it is.

Also:• Fantastic Shaving oil, use instead of a foam or gel
• Soothing after-shave (use anywhere you might shave)
• Dab with a Q-tip or cotton ball/pad to remove eye make-up
• If you accidentally get a sunburn, apply C Perfect Skin liberally to the hot area and it will help reduce discomfort significantly

I have always had ‘problem’ skin… either broken out or dry or just messed up from too many airplanes and too much travel.  ‘C’ perfect skin has been something of a revelation to me. I use it every day… I would actually be very sad without it. It has totally balanced out my often confused skin in the most natural way.
I’ve always been suspicious of the unpronounceables found in most store-bought skincare products, which either clog my pores or dry my skin out. I was skeptical of using an oil on skin that already tends towards being oily, but it really has been the long-sought-after answer for me.
It smells great. it makes you look great. It’s entirely natural and home-made by someone who knows and cares. Nothing about has ever come into contact with any money-grubbing corporate interest. It may actually solve all of your life problems and help you win the lottery (the tests are still out on that one).
Did i mention that i really love this stuff? I do. Really, really.

I have been using your products for the last 1 1/2 years or so and love them.   The “C” Perfect Skin is the best product I have ever used on my face.  People keep asking me why my face is glowing and I tell them about your products.  I had 2 young women at Kaiser ask me about my skin and I am almost 60.  I directed them to your website!
I cannot say enough about your products.

With “C Perfect Skin” I do see a vast improvement – I would never have thought that an oil based lotion could be so light and nurturing.

I just wanted to tell you that I absolutely love C Perfect Skin!  I was a bit skeptical of putting oil on my face at first.  But I’ve been using it twice a day and I think it’s amazing.  My skin hasn’t seemed this clear in years!
I just thought I’d let you know.  I’ve been telling my friends too!

Wonderful for winter woes very high quality – great value.

I got a sample of the “C” Perfect oil at a craft fair.  My first reaction was UGHH as I pictured smearing oil on my face, but Nieves suggested I try it at night.  So I did and I was amazed;  it went on smoothly and soaked right in.  There was no greasy feel after just a few minutes.  And my skin felt so soft.   Now I use it under my makeup every day.  I wouldn’t be without it!

I’ve been trying all sorts of moisturizers over the years with nothing really standing out as an exemplary product until now…
By Nieves “C” Perfect is AMAZING!!! My skin has never felt so soft and rejuvenated! I love the fact that she uses all natural ingredients in her products.

Greetings Friends,
My daughter gave me a sampling of your products nearly two years ago and I have been using them ever since.  After using the “C” Perfect Skin for only a few months I saw my daughter again when she visited from NYC and she said, “Mom, your skin looks so great!  You look so much younger.  What are you using?”. I told her I had used my sample of “C” Perfect Skin and ordered the larger size.  It is all I use on my face.  What am amazing product.  No more special day cream, night cream, eye cream, etc… Just one perfect serum that works like magic!!
I also make the Cloud of Protection available in my bathrooms.  Friends have thanked me for making it available for when they would otherwise leave behind what they feel are embarrassing smells.  I also use it when my kittie cat leaves behind an unpleasant smell in her litter box.  I sometimes use it just because I like the scent.
I also love the bath salts!  I love to take baths but only had a shower in my last home.  I have recently moved into a new home with a great bathtub.  Now I have your bath salts to go with my relaxing baths!  And the balm has so many uses:  lips, hair, body, feet, hands, elbows, knees…
Your whole line is amazing!  I have heard some people say it is pricey but in my opinion the value I get for price of each item far outweighs far more expensive products I have tried.  Every item I use lasts.  The “C” Perfect Skin lasts for several months and I use several pumps daily.  The Cloud of Protection also lasts for months.  The balm is so rich it too lasts for months.  The bath salts go quickly but then I do I indulge myself with lot of salts per bath and several baths per week.  I would love to see a larger size in the bath salts.
Thank you for a creative, natural, luscious, pampering, and utterly effective line of products!

Hi, I have been using the “c” perfect skin oil and loving it.  I am 42 and I have noticed that since using this product, I have taken almost 10 years off the lines around my eyes!!  No kidding, people do not believe me when I tell them my kids are both in high school.

I am on my third bottle of this product and I love it. It’s a very gentle formula delivery of Vitamin C. I put it on my lips, face and neck. There was never a sensitivity. I apply it to clean skin before morning moisturizer, and alternate applying it at night with a retinol product. Keep it coming!

My age spots are just now fading on my forehead but the ones on the backs of my hands faded quicker for some reason. I use nothing else. I love it on my lips, too. I love the ingredients and that its actually edible tho I don’t go that far. I could go on about this product, I’m hooked!

I have tried MANY different products for my face and have wasted a lot of money in the process.
“C” Perfect is the best I have ever used. In the two weeks I have used this oil, I have seen some changes in my skin, especially my face. My skin seems to have a softer appearance and the fine lines around my eyes have vanished. I use this all over my body and the appearance is noticeable only after two weeks. My skin loves this “C” Perfect and a little goes a long way; well worth the price.

I love this product — I have been using it for a few months and my skin is brighter and it has faded the sun spot I have.

This is an excellent product. This is my third Nieves product and I love them all. You only need a little amount of this so one bottle will last a long time. I am very excited about the ingredients in this product. They are gentle and caused no skin irritation. It makes my skin soft and I believe my skin is smoother, brighter and has had an effect on fine lines. I like that it comes in a glass bottle too. Just for added safety. When applied it takes a minute or two before it sinks into your skin and you will notice an immediate difference. I rub the excess into my hands and as an added benefit they are improving too. I will be buying this in the future. I use the Neives Balm on my skin in addition to this when I need extra protection.

I have really sensitive skin since having had to use 5-FU for precancers. This is one of the few products that doesn’t cause eczema flares. It does seem to improve the appearance of skin and the fact that there aren’t artificial fragrances added is a plus as well. A little goes a long way and the price is really not that bad when compared with other oils.

I purchased 2 bottles and am still using my first, but my skin definitely loves this product. I am using it morning and night and am beginning to see results after a very short period of time.

I love the smell,my skin loves it as well.  After I use it,my skin becomes baby soft.  And this is safe and natural.  Highly recommend!  You will love it!

I originally got this oil as a sample with my other product and I loved it so much I had to buy the full size product. It is really good stuff, and it feels amazing on your skin. It doesn’t leave a film and it isn’t too heavy like many other beauty oils. It also won’t clog your pores. My skin feels so soft after using it. It will also last a long time because a little goes a long way. Totally worth the price!

I bought this a year ago and still have half the bottle. Little goes a long way; last FOREVER. High-quality ingredients, smells great, works amazingly on dry skin and making your skin feel younger.
