I was recently offered the opportunity to try a sample of Glimpse. Begging for my skins forgiveness I jumped at the chance to pamper it.
What is Glimpse by XanGo and how is it different?
Glimpse is an Intuitive Skin Care system created by the same company who introduced the world to mangosteen juice -XanGo. It is the first performance skin care product that contains a self adjusting intelligent formula to meet your skin’s ever changing needs. Glimpse features XanGo’s exclusive patent pending BioActive X3 Complex which is derived from deep within the fruit’s nutrient-rich pericarp through the advanced biofermentation process. The BioActive X3 Complex has shown to stimulate natural collagen production, soothes plus calm the signs of inflammation, and safeguards the skin against the effects of free radicals. It offers extreme anti-oxidant potency greater than green tea catechins, vitamin C, CoQ10, resveratrol, and astaxanthin. The simple 4 step daily regimen is packed with super antioxidants and provides your skin with the ultimate topical nutrition.
Glimpse by XanGo is 100% clean and green! The holistic skin care contains the purest of ingredients free from hidden additives, chemicals, toxins, and synthetic fragrances. XanGo’s dedication to being environmentally friendly is quite impressive. The company uses a special blending process called cold processing. This method uses less energy and releases less carbon footprints thus making it less harmful to the environment. Even the Glimpse packaging is made from 100% post consumer goods and is recyclable (except the pump mechanism).
How do you use Glimpse by XanGo?
Glimpse Skin Care is an easy 4 step system consisting of the cleanser, toner, serum and moisturizer. It currently is available for two skin types which is System I for normal to dry skin, and System II for normal to combination skin. XanGo recommends usage of twice daily, morning and night.

My Results.
The sample I received was enough to test Glimpse for three days. I went by the directions completing each step in the exact order. The first time I used it I immediately felt my facial skin feel cleaner and refreshed. After the third day there was clearly a visible improvement. My face had a healthier glow and my pores appeared smaller, giving my skin a smoother youthful look. I even asked my daughter, who happens to be brutally honest sparing no ones feelings, if she noticed a difference in my appearance. She said that my skin looked healthier and younger. I am extremely delighted with the results of Glimpse!
Integrity of XanGo
I also wanted to share a little about XanGo’s integrity and generosity. XanGo has signed the Coalition for Safe Cosmetics calling for the elimination of chemicals used in cosmetics that are linked to birth defects, cancer, and other health problems. The company is also committed to helping the less fortunate children in other countries and has developed a special meal replacement pack to feed the severely malnourished.
If you are looking to start your own home business you might be interested in the opportunity to become a Glimpse Distributor.
