I use quite a few La Roche Posay products (cleanser, moisturiser, sun screen, etc) so I was excited to be invited to trial this new product. After using it twice a day for the past couple weeks, I have to say it has gone above and beyond my expectations and is definitely my favourite La Roche Posay product to use!
The formula is a gel which makes it feel like you are tons of product - after about a week I felt like I would have used about a third of the bottle but checked and the bottle still looked practically full (thank goodness!). It goes on quite thick and sticky but absorbs very well and left my face looking so full and plump - in a good way. The serum leaves my skin feeling moisturised throughout the day and, when I apply it at night, I wake up to smooth, plump skin. I've found myself going completely foundation free most days; my skin feels so good and smooth.
I honestly can not say enough good things about this product - I didn't notice any bad side effects and my skin was happy with the product immediately (no breakouts or redness) - and will definitely be adding it into my skin care regime!
The packaging of the product is simple as is the application. The bottle is a generous size- I'd prefer if the serum had a pump top. I find that easier to control and ensures you get all of the product when it comes time to replace.
The consistency of the serums quite rich and a little definitley goes a long way. One application My skin felt smooth and plumper. I apply mine straight after having a shower and cleansing my face. Its a good product to use after a shower when your skin has that 'tight' feeling.
The smell of the product is really pleasant so it gives you that feeling of having a little bit of luxury
Tips: Be prepared for your skin to break out with the use of a new product with active ingrediants. I experienced two decent pimples on my chin within the first couple of days of use.
Apply morning and night and make sure to include your neck in the application. A little bit goes a long way.
If skin is still not feeling moisturised follow up with either a mask or heavy moisturiser.
