Elizabeth Arden Superstart Skin Renewal Booster Review

I don't know whether to recommend this product or not. It's a nice, lightweight gel serum that feels fine underneath other skincare products, and it's gently moisturising without feeling heavy. It smells faintly floral in a fresh way.

The problem is that this costs $100 (or thereabouts?) and you have to use it in addition to your normal skincare. I just... I just can't see that being justified for most people. It means you use a little bit less of the products you put on top, sure, but you've still got to put things on top of it. It's a very expensive extra step, but if you've got the money for it, then by all means, go ahead.

The bottle is a nice its silver/grey with a near clear bottom one it, a flat oblong shape, this has a pump on the top with no lid there's a we slide thing at the back of the bottle to unlock the pump slide it to the right and it's good to pump a bit of this out, it's easy to use. This goes on before anything else so I cleanse tone then smooth this on then follow with a serum or moisturiser etc.

Wow my skin care routine is getting up there, this can be used with any other make of skin care range so I was told. This is meant to increase the effectiveness of other serums especially in the same range.

So one pump is enough of this ever so lightly pearlised coloured superboost, I can detect a very faint bitter clean fragrance. I find it's not sticky or oily more like a runny gel, so morning and night religiously I use this, one pump is all I need to do my face and neck, this just glides over my face feeling cooling as It goes on. I avoid the eye area as it states then apply my serums etc. when I use this it is like my skin is waiting for the next product to go on. I follow on with serum then cream.

Well I must admit it's quickly absorbed into my skin, I like the results I'm getting from using this pretty much from the first use I could feel my skin improving leaving it feeling balanced a little brighter a little more refined in texture. From the very first application I was hooked so I'm finding this is definitely worth the money.

I got this from the beauty Vault a long time ago. I use as a moisturizer it works well and does not feel sticky. I find it also can go under primer or make up fine. It does not have a nasty smell and is white in colour with a medium to thick viscosity. To be honest I did not realize how good for me it was. Reading the description above makes me like it more. Its packaging design is quite unique. I do not have other skin care products from Elizabeth Arden so I just use it with my own skin care products or on its own. It smalls nice and a little goes a decent way. I would not pay this much in real money for it but it is nice to have a luxury product. I am not so sure it helps much to my skin but the description above makes it seem that way. It does help with hydration and perhaps makes me look a bit luminous.

I absolutely love Elizabeth Arden products so was every excited to get this one in the December vault.

It comes in a zany, silver, futuristic, looking bottle. The dispenser is on the lid and dispenses by being pressed. It kind of reminds me of a little robot.It is gorgeous and classy-looking.

The product is a white lotion.I only need a small amount each time and have mainly been using it at night. It absorbs quickly into my skin and doesn't leave any stickiness or residue.

It has a subtle fresh and slight fruity scent, which I like.

Immediately on application my skin feels soft , smooth, and fresh, and I don't need much else, if anything on top. I usually apply some skinfood serum as I like to think the extra oil is helping both products work together. By using it at night, I like to think the product is doing it's best work while I'm sleeping, and my skin looks quite fresh in the mornings.

I note it has many lovely natural ingredients, and this also makes me feel very good about using it.

The price is a bit prohibitive, but like other Elizabeth Arden products, if I was flush I would repurchase, as they are certainly quality products.

Would I recommend it? definitely, if you can get hold of some to try then grab it with both hands :)

I picked this up along with the superstar cleanser . Thought I would give it a try. What got me interested was that it’s a skin booster. My skin is ageing slowly and I have uneven skin tone . In the winter months I find my skin needs an extra boost whether it’s a serum or this.

Packaging comes in this silver bottle . It’s an unusually shaped pump bottle. Texture of this product is like a gel . Has a floral scent .

I like to put this on before my day cream . Just to give my skin an extra boost. I used this daily for about two months . I did notice my skin is hydrated but I expect this result from most of my skincare products.

Overall I think I would just leave this one . I can’t see myself purchasing this one again. It didn’t wow me at all or do anything extra special.

I got a mini jar sample of this a while back when it launched I think. Love the smell, love the smooth slightly thin texture, don't love my skin's reaction to it. I have really sensitive skin on my face and unfortunately this didn't agree with me at all. It stung and itched at the same time and I hurried to wash it off. I gave it another go recently but to no avail.

Be careful if you're sensitive skinned like me and always patch test (unlike me). And since this is so expensive I'm really glad I didn't buy this.

I received a generous deluxe mini of this from the Elizabeth Arden counter when it first launched. The idea is to apply this prior to your usual serum and moisturiser. I'm a fan of the Korean skincare routines so layering products isn't new to me.

Firstly, the product itself. It is a clear gel with the consistency of a serum and has a very pleasant, slightly fruity, floral fragrance. It's applies easily, leaving the skin feeling moisturised and sits on top of the skin. Agreed, this does mean you use less of the products you apply over it, but this is my experience of any products I have layered.

This is a really lovely product but I just really don't get the point of it. The whole concept of an expensive booster to improve the efficacy of the rest of your regime is lost on me. Shouldn't they all just do what they say anyway? I would be more convinced if this was marketed as a serum in its own right albeit a pricey one. At this price point I would not purchase again.

I got the sample when it first came out, I bought the full size not long after. I got more samples, I got another bottle in the vault. I love Elizabeth Arden - I don't know why but it's just a long time favourite for me. I like the idea of a pre-serum serum. I've been using it every morning before my serum and moisturizer for the last 3 months. The bottle is very attractive and functions well, it spreads across skin well and is easily absorbed leaving no stickiness. It didn't cause me any pimples (on my normal, mid life skin) which is always a plus! I agree with other reviews that it makes your top layers go further- you use less serum and less moisturizer. My skin does feel soft and smooth using this combination. I guess I'm just a hard sell because I really want glowy, magazine skin! Shop assistants say my skin looks good but can you really believe what they say? To me I don't see magazine skin, but I'll keep using this along as I have it, and most likely repurchase when my stock depletes.

I was lucky to get some samples of this from Farmers. I used this on my eye and forehead area only. I found after application my eyes felt awakened and refreshed. The wrinkle busting properties were not there, but holistically this product is top notch, the price tag is hefty, $106 for 30 ml, which is a shame, otherwise I would use this constantly.
