Dr. LeWinn’s Serum Series – Renew

I am always a fan of a dispenser on a face product bottle, love the fact my fingers aren't dipping into the product all the time. The dropper top gives you just the right amount of product to cover your face and neck. I feel that the 30ml bottle should last me a good 3 months which is a good amount of time for a face product. The serum itself has an almost water like consistency and is very light. It does take a few minutes to absorb into my skin but once absorbed there is no tightness like I have experienced with other serums though it does need a moisturiser added after. I have found that my skin looks more hydrated since starting to use the serum and it definitely seems to have a bit more of the glow I had in my younger years. I'm looking forward to seeing what effect a further few weeks of usage will have on some of my fine lines around my eyes and mouth.

I was incredibly excited to receive Dr. Lewinn’s Retinol + Beauactive Renew Serum to trial. I am on a mission to find the right anti-ageing product(s) for myself, and the previous serum I tried turned out to not be very effective in the long run. The serum comes packaged in a nicely designed cardboard box, which contains all the information you need on how to use the serum. Most of the instructions are also repeated on the serum bottle, which I really like as it means you do not need to keep the box if you are unfamiliar with a serum. The bottle itself is nice and sturdy, and comes with a dropper which is very easy to use. The dropper is needed to remove the liquid serum from the bottle and put a few drops onto your fingers to then apply the serum to the face and decolletage. The instructions say to use 1-2 drops, but I found that I need more than that just to cover my face. The serum has almost no smell, and it is easily applied and absorbs into the skin very quickly. I like how the serum feels on the skin, and how easy it is to apply. Unlike other products with retinol that I have tried, I had no issues using this serum twice a day right from the start. There was no redness or dryness from the retinol, which is most likely due to the unique formulation used in this serum, which means that the retinol is encapsulated and it is therefore meant to penetrate the skin without irritation. However, as with all retinol containing products, it is very important to use sunscreen every day as the skin will be more sensitive to the sun. Although this trial was 4 weeks long, it is still hard to tell if any of my fine lines have actually been smoothed, or if my skin is any firmer. However, I feel like my skin does look very good at the moment, and I will keep using the serum twice daily. I feel like the overall positive effect on my skin so far indicates that the serum works, and I am keen to see how much of a difference it will make in a few more months. I definitely think this works better than the previous serum I have used, and I really like the fact that the encapsulated retinol causes no skin issues.

I’m a big fan of Dr Lewinn’s Reversaderm range and this serum comes close as a really nice serum you can use morning and night.

It’s quite a thin textured liquid and milky in colour. I found the dropper gave out more than I needed so I only gave it a half squeeze. There was no adverse reaction or tingling which I was anticipating due to the high retinol content and I’ve happily used this for almost a month.

Have I found less wrinkles and reduced sun spots like the claim on the bottle? Maybe very slightly - but the biggest thing I’ve found is my skin is a lot more hydrated and definitely clearer, especially around my nose which I’m pleased about.

Because it’s a liquid texture this bottle will last a lot longer than my current serum but I’m not sure I’ll purchase again as it seems to be around the $50 mark. For now though I’m enjoying my skin’s condition as it’s really hydrated and I have an overall dewy complexion.

I was really keen to trial this product. Firstly because I love Dr LeWinn’s skincare and secondly because retinol is popularly known as the go-to ingredient for anti-aging benefits, like reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, evening out skin tone and hyperpigmentation.

The serum is comprised of encapsulated retinol, a version of retinol that is time-released and has fewer side effects. It enables the retinol to penetrate more deeply into the skin. Dermatologists state that this serum is 5x more effective than regular retinol alone. It’s also infused with Beauactive that boosts collagen and improves skin texture. The lightly fragranced serum comes in a bottle with a lid that has an air button which draws the liquid up into an eye dropper. The dropper provides the right amount of serum to use every time. I love the fact that the serum is both oil and alcohol free.

My face and neck have lost elasticity over time due to intrinsic aging, Winter is never kind to my skin and I need something to address dry patches and uneven skin tone. Extra ‘glow’ for my dull skin would also be a bonus. As retinol can cause redness and dry skin I worked it into my routine for a few nights then built it up to every day/evening as my skin tolerated the formula. After cleansing I gently massage two to three drops of serum into my skin, leaving it for a minute or so to absorb before applying moisturiser. I also apply SPF 50 sunscreen in the mornings to protect my skin from sun damage. The serum absorbed very quickly. It’s lightweight and feels like silk on my skin. It went well with my other skincare and provided a good base for my makeup. I have experienced no irritation or breakouts after daily use.

After four weeks of using this product my skin feels hydrated and smoother. It has plumped my skin and as a result patches of dry flakey skin on my cheeks have softened and my fine lines are less noticeable. Even my pigmentation has improved slightly. Deeper wrinkles around my mouth and on my forehead will require ongoing usage but hey I am loving the results so far. I wake up in the morning with brighter more even-toned skin. I will continue to use this serum and look forward to continued results after 2 - 3 months of consistent usage.

I was thrilled to be chosen for this review. I love Dr. Lewinn's skin care range and have used many in the past.

As with this whole range, the packaging is simple and clean. It has a drop applicator inbuilt to the screw-top lid which is pretty great. I worked out fairly quickly that the best way to fill up the applicator is to depress the top first so the serum fills it, then unscrew the lid and depress the serum into your hand. Unscrewing the lid and then filling the applicator is awkward and potentially risky of knocking the bottle over, which I found out a couple of times by doing exactly that! I'm sure this is obvious to most of you, but without clear instructions of how to apply, these things can take me a while to work out, lol.

The serum itself is light and glides on. A little goes a long way. I love that. You can definitely feel that a serum is helping deliver the benefits of your moisturiser as well, as it leaves your skin feeling dewy and hydrated. Top marks for that.

This serum is targeted at aging skin, with the aim being to brighten, smooth and renew. Used religiously for 4 weeks, I can't say that it has delivered visibly, but I've thoroughly enjoyed using it in my daily routine and enjoyed what feels like smoother skin, especially when applying moisturiser or BB cream.

Overall, I enjoyed this product, but I don't see any real benefits from using it over others I've used in the past.

I've never been disappointed with Dr LeWinn's products, and this serum is no different. Wow! I'm a bit of a fan of a high end serum, but that just got knocked off the pedestal.

This renew serum has a wow factor, and the wow happened quite quickly.

The packaging is very simple but sophisticated. The dropper is pretty simple, so you can easily dispurse too much, if you're a bit heavy handed. You only need the few drops recommended.

The serum itself is very light but packs some punch. I used it morning and night for the duration of the trial and after about a week, my skin was looking bright and clear. Being late 40's I have the wrinkles and the sun damage, so I love a serum that helps repair some of my youthful failings with my skin care. This serum definitely reduced the visibility of sun damage and the wrinkles softened a little too.

I have a scar above my lip that tends to look very red first thing in the morning and 3+ weeks on, it's a very pale pink first thing in the morning. My skin generally - very bright and clear. A healthy glow I'd call it. The serum itself used morning and night will last quite a while especially if you stick to the 2 or so drops, rather than dispursing everything in the dropper. I patted it on my skin rather than rubbing and it absorbed really well, and my skin felt great. I used this straight after toner morning and night.

Given the results I'll definitely continue with this serum. Great for my skin type and age bracket and delivers on its claims. The price is at the higher end, but I've used a serum I thought was the holy grail and was a lot more expensive, and I think the Dr LeWinn's Renew serum is as good - maybe better! I'm looking forward to trying more of the range and incorporating the serums into my daily regime!

Thanks BR Team for yet another awesome trial!

Where to start... this serum is just lovely and ticks so many boxes! I saw an improvement in my skin straight after first application. My skin appeared plumper, brighter and those fine lines disappeared! My pores also looked smaller! It doesn't last long though, after a while I notice the magic slowly disappearing. Fine lines returning but face still appears somewhat plump and bright. I seriously loooove how light it is, especially for a serum. You don't feel it on your skin as it soaks right in. It has a very light fragrance that I love as I am very sensitive to smells. You don't need to use a lot as it spreads easily. I'm not crazy about the idea of using a product containing Retinol during the day as we were taught not to. I didn't like the applicator, it definitely isn't easy to use, it can be improved. It is a bit pricey but on the other hand this one product gave me the same results that all my other serums combined do. I would like to pair this with a moisturizer and or other products from this brand to see if it would maximize the results.

It's safe to say my usual retinol serum has been replaced! First of all the packaging. Straight off I was drawn to the pretty white bottle and the top contains a neat push button dispenser which dishes out the perfect amount of product. The texture of this serum is delightful. I'm used to the oiliness of The Ordinary retinol which is my usual, but this product isn't oily at all and absorbs super fast with no stickiness, leaving skin feeling ever so slightly moisturised. Effectiveness- I haven't noticed my frown lines between my eyes or my fine lines on my forehead as much, so it must be doing the trick! I didn't notice a difference to my deeper wrinkles around my mouth and eyes, although to be honest I think this is a job only botox can fix! My dark spots seemed less noticeable and my skin overall looks brighter.amd feels healthier. Retinol can irritate the skin but I didn't notice any at all with this product. In saying that, I was already using retinol before this product so I'm interested to see if others found it to be irritating. This is a great all rounder and I love that it boasts more than just retinol. Looking forward to trying other products from this range if there are any.

I was lucky enough to trial this Dr LeWinns Serum, and it is the first product from this brand that I've tried.

Firstly, the packaging is nice and I love the bottle. The dropper bottle has a soft squeeze top lid which makes for easy application of the product. The serum itself is milky in colour, and I really liked that the serum isn't sticky, thick or oily like some other serums I've tried. It absorbs quickly into the skin and doesn't leave any type of greasy residue. After using this at night, I would wake up with my skin feeling soft and hydrated.

No irritation - it was very gentle on my skin. Also, when I had blemishes, this didn't sting or aggravate them. I actually found that this helped to reduce the redness of any pimples.

It has been a while that I've been using this now and I think it has made my skin appear more radiant and hydrated overall. My skin texture seems to have improved, but I haven't yet noticed any reduction of fine lines. This may come with more time using it.

As this product was not yet on the market when I have trialed it, I am unsure of the price point so I can't comment on whether I think it is good value for money, however I would imagine that it would sit somewhere between the $50 - $65 range (which I would be happy to pay).

Great product and I intend to keep using it!

First of all I would like to thank Beauty Review for the chance to trial a product. I always feel quite special when I an entrusted with a trial product.

WOW! I am sure I have found my holy grail serum. This serum comes in a 30ml white plastic bottle with the top of the dropper on the lid. The instructions [which I follow] say to place 1-2 drops onto your palm or fingers. Then apply to your face and décolletage. Do this morning and night after cleansing and toning. I have had this serum for a good length of time so I have really seen the benefits. The serum is very lightly scented, nothing offensive, it is very subtle. The consistency is a bit thicker than water, as in it doesn't quickly run off your fingertips. It feels absolutely beautiful as you apply it to your skin. It absorbs very well and leaves your skin feeling very well loved. The big win for me was a reduction in the two lines between my eyes, frown lines I suppose. They were super deep and always visible, however, now they are much less visible and I am extremely happy. My skin looks more lively now, not so dull and dry, I think it looks like a younger persons skin, and I don't mind that at all. Overall I am really happy with the results of using this serum.
