Weleda Pomegranate Firming Face Serum Review

I received a few samples of this as I buy straight from the weleda website and you get free samples. Thank goodness for samples because I don't think I would have been very happy it just feels really odd and sticky on the skin and and just that alone would put me off a product and reading the reviews seems like it's a common issue amongst other issues. Weleda have some amazing products this one just wasn't one of them.

This serum is slightly weird. It comes in a small cylinder tube with a pump, the pump itself is good it is just where it actually comes out that is weird. There is like a little ball or something right where it comes out and boy does that stuff fly out. The first time I did it I managed to get it all over everything except my fingers.

So the serum itself is very fruity smelling not pomegranate like it says with an alcohol smell with it too. It is a very runny liquid it is easy to apply once you get it on your fingers. Once applied I found it very sticky on my face and my skin felt very tight. It was like I had a face mask on.

Noticeable results? Zilch,zip,nada, nothing. I'm disappointed because I actually thought it would have been a great product. My skin is very dry a lot of it due to the environment I work in and it didn't do anything for it. I also have fine lines around my eyes that I am desperate to keep at bay so I am on a mission to find the right product to help do that. Unfortunately this product doesn't do it

My skin didn't feel any better for using this product. Not firmer or more hydrated and didn't visibly reduce wrinkles. I didn't realise this was for 'mature skin', so perhaps I am too young for this product.

The serum is lightweight and easy to apply but it dried out my face and gave it a very tight and sticky feeling, which was quite uncomfortable. This may be due to the fact that alcohol is listed as the second ingredient (after water).

Speaking of alcohol, the smell is awful - it is so overpowering and strong and makes my skin smell like a fruit cocktail (like a cosmopolitan). The applicator also has the hole in a really awkward position (at the top) so it went flying everywhere the first time I used it.

I got this from the vault for the sake of trying out a facial serum of which I had never used before. Honestly this product is probably a bit much for me as i'm 26 years old and this is designed for more mature aged skin, therefore it doesn't visibly benefit me much although probably helps with prevention.

I don't like the way that this serum feels on my skin it tightens slightly, definitely firming but a little uncomfortable, feels kinda filmy on my face. I feel like it doesn't absorb properly as it feels sticky to the touch on my face even hours after application, and doesn't make it feel any softer or smoother as it claims but it is hydrating. It is completely odorless.

While the packaging is simple and practical for the product you have to be careful not to push the pump down too hard otherwise a lot of it will shoot out and go flying. Quite a price but facial serums generally are and this will last for ages you need only a tiny amount for a full face application.

This isn't something I would consider purchasing, I don't even enjoy using it because of how it feels on my skin. I shall pass this on to mother, being twice my age she will probably benefit from it more than I would.
