- REJUVENATES YOUR SKIN’S NATURAL ELASTICITY: Return to your skin’s natural elasticity. Over time, skin loses its ability to stretch, resulting in sagging.

Rich in pure vitamin C, Makana’s Advanced Firming Serum reaches deep into the skin, building up the deepest skin layer and creating that cushiony feel youthful skin is known for. (1)
- SHIELDS AGAINST ENVIRONMENTAL SKIN DAMAGE: The astaxanthin in Makana’s Advanced Firming Serum shields skin from harmful environmental elements, forming a strong protective layer for fragile skin cells. Astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant, protects skin from sun damage and heals age-related skin cell degeneration. With astaxanthin, you can renew and repair damaged areas. Makana’s Advanced Firming Serum erases skin irregularities, calms redness, and reduces inflammation from sun damage. Skin is left radiant, silky, and smooth.(2)
- ADDS STRUCTURE TO YOUR SKIN: The pure vitamin C and plant-based hyaluronic acid in Makana’s Advanced Firming Serum replenish your lost natural collagen — a vital protein for healthy, youthful skin. Pure vitamin C and plant-based hyaluronic acid ignite skin’s protein-producing abilities, encouraging skin cells to return to their former youthful state. Makana’s Advanced Firming Serum lifts sagging skin and maintains skin’s structure, keeping skin supple and firm.(3)
- BRIGHTENS AND REVITALIZES COMPLEXION: Makana’s Advanced Firming Serum includes plant-based hyaluronic acid, a potent skin hydrator. The body’s production of hyaluronic acid decreases with age, leaving skin dry, flaky, and sallow. The plant-based hyaluronic acid in Makana’s Advanced Firming Serum rehydrates the skin and enhances firmness, leaving skin with the smooth and radiant glow you once had.(4)

MULTIPLY PROTECTION FROM UV RADIATION 4X!*
It begins with a foundation of protecting your cells from UV rays and environmental conditions… Restoring the essential components of youthful skin… And beautifying your skin by reducing the signs of aging.
With the antioxidant power of Astaxanthin, Vitamin C and Vitamin E, MAKANA® Advance Firming Serum may help protect skin cells from damage caused by contaminants, oxidative stress, and free radicals.
A study published in the Journal of American Academy of Dermatology demonstrated that vitamin C when combined with vitamin E and applied topically to skin can provide 4-fold photoprotection for skin as compared to ingesting the vitamins. The findings suggests that these natural vitamins work synergistically and may prevent UV-induced photoaging.[5],[6]
BEAUTIFIES - Brightens Complexion and Revitalizes Skin Tone
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a main component of the extracellular matrix—the body’s network of large molecules that provide structural support to cells. Your HA levels decrease with age, contributing to signs of aging.[9] Due to its extreme capacity to bind and retain water molecules, hyaluronic acid is vital in skin hydration. It works in conjunction with collagen to help your skin look younger.[10]
REPLENISHES YOUR SKIN -Natural Face Lift in 30 Seconds- No doctors- No surgery
Collagen is the most prevalent structural protein in the body. It makes up about 30% of the body’s total protein, and 70% of the protein in the skin. But after the age of 30, you lose about 1% of your collagen a year. This decline in collagen can contribute to fine lines, bags under your eyes, and wrinkles.
A key ingredient in MAKANA® Advance Firming Serum has been shown to promote natural collagen production. Several scientific studies have shown that vitamin C has the potential to increase type I collagen synthesis and for the regulation of the collagen/elastin balance in the dermis (the thickest layer of skin).[7][8]

Want younger, healthier-looking skin?
MAKANA® Advance Firming Serum is made with quality ingredients that work in harmony to help hydrate your skin and balance oil production without damaging or clogging pores. It combines Astaxanthin with pure Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and plant-based Hyaluronic Acid using the latest scientific research to help your skin look and feel younger and firmer, while softening and balancing your tone.

What makes MAKANA™ Advanced Firming Serum so unique and special? ASTAXANTHIN!
Astaxanthin is one of nature’s strongest antioxidants. It has 6,000 times free radical neutralizing ability of vitamin C. It’s the pinkish carotene pigment that’s found in salmon, lobster, and flamingos (to name a few).[11] In recent years, it has been shown to have incredible health benefits. And Astaxanthin does wonders for your skin.

FLAWLESS, HEALTHY, AND FIRM SKIN COMPLEXION!
Everyone has different skin types. And there are many factors, like changing weather, or increased sun exposure that can make the quality of your skin fluctuate. The beauty of MAKANA® Advance Firming Serum is that it works deep down on a cellular level to help restore the foundation of youthful skin. It contains ingredients that have been scientifically supported to help replenish collagen, hydrate your skin, and protect your cells from harmful free radicals.

can't tell anything yet.....
I am in love with this firming serum. My skin looks brighter and feels so soft and supple. The Vitimin C gives my skin a noticeable glow. Being 49 I'm always looking for a product that will give a more youthful glow. I have only used this product for 2 weeks but I can definitely see a difference. I would highly reccommend this product to anyone looking for some extra hydration and skin glow. I can't wait to try more products.
This serum works well for an under the makeup serum and prep. I did find it a bit more drying than other serums I had tried but it soaked into my skin really quickly so that might be why. It was not oily or greasy and had a pleasant smell. I did feel like I had to use two pumps to get enough to cover my face. Overall this is a good serum but I feel like it could benefit from being a bit more moisturizing.
I have used this serum for a week now and I can see improvements on my skin tone.My skin is more firm, hydrated and smooth.It's perfect!Love it.
I've been using this serum for a little over two months and it's helped my skin A LOT! I use this every morning on my face, neck, and chest area. I've noticed smoother texture and less hyperpigmentation. I love that is has Vit C in it. This is my new holy grail product! Thank you, Makana Life. :)
