Does this little drink really help you sleep and look better?
Posted on January 30, 2011
BeautySleep™ ($21.90 for 6 bottles at SoftSurroundings) is a 2oz. dietary supplement that combines anti-aging compounds and cell-protecting anti-oxidants with sleep enhancers. The company claims that the drink fights the signs of aging by maintaining skin elasticity and tone while providing a good night’s sleep. We gave our 6 testers two-nights worth to try out at home. Here’s what they said . . .
It did a fantastic job. I fell asleep quickly and only woke up once. I usually wake up a few times during the night. The next morning I felt fine--not groggy or over sleepy. I woke up feeling refreshed both days.
What did you think of the taste?
Great. I have tried a few products like this before, and they always tasted really bad. This product was easy to drink and refreshing.
Did you notice a difference in your skin?
My skin was not as tight or dry as it usually is when I wake up. I suppose it would take more than two days to really see a difference, but it did feel better than normal.
I was surprised at how it helped me to fall asleep. I was refreshed and calm the next day. I had not taken anything else but I could feel a big change in the way I felt and continued to feel all day.
What did you think of the taste?
Very enjoyable. It was similar to juice but lighter in taste and very easy to swallow.
Did you notice a difference in your skin?
I noticed a change in my skin the first day. My skin felt soft and wonderful.
Is this something you’d keep using?
This is a product that I will purchase immediately because it has helped me remain calm when in the past I have woken up with the jitters. This is really a fab product.
The product helped me fall asleep gently. This particular week, I had loads of stress (death in the family); this helped me settle in and relax without the 'falling' feeling that you get from sleep aids. I felt refreshed in the morning and not at all tired or slow...like with an over-the-counter sleep aid; no dry mouth, no "hangover".
What did you think of the taste?
Light and not at all medicinal. It had a very pleasant taste, similar to an energy drink.
Did you notice a difference in your skin?
After these two 'doses' I did not notice a difference, but I think after a regime of regular use, you might.
Is this something you'd keep using?
I would certainly consider using this again, and seeing how the long-term effects would be.
The first night it didn’t help at all. The next night, I went to sleep right away. The next morning I felt very good and had lots of energy.
What did you think of the taste?
The taste wasn’t really bad at all.
Did you notice a difference in your skin?
Yes, both mornings my face felt softer and more moisturized than normal.
We were so impressed with our testers' unanimously positive reviews of Beauty Sleep, that we reached out to Clark Wolfsberger, President of BigQuark, LLC, which owns the drink, to find out more about exactly what makes it so fab. Read our interview with Clark, here.

"I am 61 and a recently retired teacher. As someone who has been using Beauty Sleep off and on for a little over a year, I would like to add my favorable comments for this product. I also like the pomegranate slightly minty taste. I loved using it for the great natural nights sleep. One definitely needs to be rested and not groggy when dealing with middle school kids! As for my skin, Beauty Sleep has helped it feel softer and less dry. I will continue to use this product and have recommended it to friends .... especially teachers. I am glad to see other such positive reactions. " Reply
