I'm always on the hunt for affordable, hydrating serums for by perpetually dehydrated skin. I jumped at the chance to trial this one!
First off, I'm a fan of the pump top. Often serums are more watery and come in dropper bottles which I just find cumbersome and messy. The pump top allows you to dispense just the right amount to apply to your face.
The serum it's self is lightweight, with a gel-cream texture. Gel texture is my favourite for moisturisers, so I appreciated this aspect. Upon application, the serum didn't leave me with a tight-skin feeling. It feels smooth and hydrated, with no residue.
You can wear it stand alone, or under other products. I find it sits nicely under a moisturiser and SPF.
This is a budget-friendly serum, and like other CeraVe products, I'd say it's simple yet effective.
I will be continuing to trial this product for a number of weeks to see if there are noticeable improvements to my skin.
Personally I found this serum to be similar to other serums for me and my (normal) skin type, my skin did feel softer immediately after using it but the same happens if I used another brand serum.
I also didn’t feel that it provided any more hydrated after immediate use and have only been using 1-2 times a day for the past two weeks so can’t comment if my skin feels any smoother after 4 weeks of use.
Overall I did enjoy using but probably wouldn’t go out to buy a replacement when I have finished this one as I feel there are other ones that we also does the job.
