My skin was in a terrible state when this arrived - being skin care last and being really busy plus having been on multiple aeroplane flights, stressful situations resulting in an awful coldsore and lack of sleep and exhaustion. So it was definitely going to get a workout whipping my skin into shape.
It comes in a dropper style bottle - not my favourite form of dispensary as once You have serum in one hand it makes it difficult to put the lid back on one handed. It’s a clear serum with little gold specks through it. It has a very, very light fragrance.
This serum absorbs quickly into skin - initially upon application it sort of feels sticky and a little tight as it dries but this goes away after a few minutes. The gold flakes disappeared completely. I used it morning and night.
My skin felt soft and smooth immediately. I didn’t think there had been much difference but then one of my daughters friends commented that I looked like I had been on a relaxing tropical holiday - SAY WHAT? I’ll put the tropical part down to my winter coloured foundation being a shade too dark but the relaxed?...it had to be the serum! In the weeks leading up to using this serum my skin had been very dehydrated and quite frankly looking old. In a matter of days my skin felt soft and plump, and my coldsore almost gone. I think it healed much quicker than normal. I’m wondering if this would be good for acne prone skin? To help the healing process?
I’m liking that this is oil free - I hate looking all shiny and like an oil slick. It doesn’t give a matte finish either, but rather I think it absorbs right into the skin and doesn’t just sit on top. I used this under makeup - and it was great, some serums and creams ball up under makeup but this one definitely passed that test. Overall I am impressed with this serum - I’d definitely buy it again.
Nice bright packaging. This product contains all the ingredients you would expect in a rejuvenating serum, collagen, vitamins and gold flakes. You can see the flakes in the serum and they are in each application. Nice squeezy syringe makes it easy to use. This product was not for me and I found it very drying. My skin has now broken out is very sensitive. I will not continue to use this product.
