I was lucky to have been sent this serum for review. I use La Roche Posay sunscreen on my face daily and love it, so I was looking forward to trying another product.
I’m 38 now and starting to notice the changes in my skin, although it’s not dramatic yet. It’s starting to tend more towards being dry and tightening up but I don’t have very defined lines yet. (Maybe it’s avoiding the sun like the plague!)
I have been trialling this product for a week and a half and so far I’m happy with the results. In my normal routine I use an oil after cleansing instead of a serum, so the texture of this was not what I was used to. It was a little stickier and at first I worried that it wasn’t going to be my thing or that it would give my makeup a weird finish.
My concerns were unfounded. I found this keeps my face feeling soft and hydrated throughout the day. Honestly my skin was a bit of a mess coming out of lockdown as I was a bit lazier with my skin care routine and probably drank more beer than water! It’s starting to feel smoother and less parched. I got ID’ed at the supermarket on Friday, so maybe I’m looking younger? Haha.
I like the clear blue glass bottle with a handy dropper. I’m a little unsure if I was using the correct amount of product but my skin seems to be happy enough with what I was doing. The fragrance was quite pleasant and familiar but I can’t recall what it reminds me of. I feel like I would buy this again but it’s a little early to say whether I like it more than my usual oil. Cost-wise they are similar.
I'm SO impressed with this! I don't know why, but I had low expectations for this for some reason, I think because I've used other serums in the past and not been impressed, but this was great!
My skin is feeling amazing after using this for just over a week, it looks so fresh and it feels so soft! At the beginning I was just using the serum to see how my skin reacted to it, but then after about 3 or 4 days I started putting on the serum and then putting on my moisturiser and WOW what a dream team! I don't think my skin has ever felt this great.
The serum itself is a good consistency, not so thick that it's hard to get out of the dropper and not so runny that it runs all down your face when applied. I like that it didn't really have a smell as that can be pretty off putting, especially if it's something you apply before bed (which I did with this). It dries really quickly too so there are no issues with applying makeup over it or laying down in bed etc. Also when makeup is applied directly over the top it does go on smooth/ I didn't have any issues. Previous serums or gels I've used in the past have caused the makeup to lump up a little, but this was great!
This is definitely something I'll be looking to add in to my regular routine.
