Alpine Silk Manuka Honey Ultra Rejuvenating Serum Reviews

I received the Alpine Silk Manuka Honey Ultra Rejuvenating Serum one week ago and thought it was a pretty tall order for any product to make any real noticeable difference in such a short time. However, I decided to give it a fair trial and chose to only use one side of my face to see if I could notice any changes at the end of the week's trial. The packaging was attractive and the small glass bottle containing the serum was easy to use with its glass & rubber dropper ( well done - no plastic here). On first use the product felt quite sticky but it was quickly absorbed into the skin. I used it each morning and evening after cleansing and followed up with my usual day or night moisturiser. It didn't have any noticeable fragrance and only required 1-2 drops for half my face. At the end of the week, I am pleasantly surprised that it does seem to have had some effect on fine lines and even an age spot seems slightly lighter in colour. I would definitely consider using this product in the future depending on the price - I wonder if, with ingredients like gold flakes, placenta & collagen, it may be beyond my budget. However, I look forward to using the remainder of the product and seeing what further results it may effect.

I was delighted to be selected to trial this very pretty looking Alpine Silk Manuka Honey Ultra- Rejuvenating Face Serum with 23 Carat Gold Flakes.

My skin is sensitive and on the drier side so I was looking forward to seeing if one of the key ingredients, Manuka Honey could help improve my skins hydration levels. I should mention that it has a UMF of 10 which basically means it's genuine NZ manuka honey and the value indicates the strength of those key ingredients. I was also keen and slightly skeptical of the pretty gold flakes and what benefit they might have.

The bottle is made of glass and is see thru which showcases the gold flakes, all 23 carats. The dropper applicator is a smart feature as it makes it easy and hygienic to dispense the right amount.

The serum is a clear, watery gel with gold flakes. It is lightweight so it leaves no greasy feeling on my skin once it has absorbed in. It absorbs very quickly so there is no waiting around to put other products on. There is a slight unpleasant smell to the serum if you put your nose right up to the bottle but it doesn't actually leave a lingering smell once applied. I apply morning and night after cleansing but before moisturising.

So the verdit.... It feels great on my skin and my foundation is wearing better as my skin looks and feels more hydrated. I measured this extra hydration by the disappearance of previously dry patches on and around my nose and on my cheeks before the trial  My skin also feels very soft which is wonderful as I have only been trialling the serum for a short period of time (6days).   I think the gold flakes may have a slight brightening effect on my skin but I can't say I've noticed anything more at this stage and I do wonder if they are just a visual gimmick to make you purchase.

With our without the gold I do believe it delivers on hydrating and softening your skin. Hopefully with continual use I will start seeing some plumping or smoothing out of fine lines. I will update this review in a few months.

Yes I recommend this product.

I have sensitive skin and worry about trying new things so was excited to be part of the trial team for the serum. Being in my mid 30s yet having hardly any fine lines etc I was a lil dubious about it when it arrived and I read the box. But figured I'd give it my all and I have to say I love it! Using it on the couple of fine lines I have around my eyes and the dark circles after a couple of shocking nights sleep this past week, & wow! It definitely helps to rehydrate and rejuvenate my skin.

The gold flecks make it look good on, and it absorbs pretty quickly. I love the fact the bottle has a dropper which makes it easy to apply.

I'm definitely going to continue using it and see what happens.

There is something about this product that makes it (and me) feel very luxurious - it could be the study glass bottle or thick glass stick or maybe it is the 23 carat gold flakes...

I have been applying a small amount of this serum to my fine lines both morning and night for about 1.5 weeks now. The serum has a great texture, it doesn’t leave any stickiness on my fingers and has a very light aroma.

This serum feels quite thick when you apply to your face, but it magically absorbs into you skin very easily. In the morning, I apply my usual moisturiser after applying the serum.

Is it too soon, I don’t know, but at this stage I do not see any improvement to my aging skin - but I won’t give up on this serum yet and will continue to apply twice daily.

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.

Made in New Zealand, The Alpine Silk Manuka Honey Ultra Rejuvenating Serum is a fast-absorbing serum that is water based and oil free. It is enriched with Gold Flakes, Placenta, Collagen, Aloe Vera and Vitamin E and has naturally derived ingredients.

The serum is like a watery jelly and encased in an eyedropper style bottle. The gold flakes can be easily seen in the serum, but when massaged into the skin, they dissolve.

Anti-bacterial, antioxidants and anti-aging seem to be the potential benefits of this serum. At this stage I haven't noticed anything, but will comment below if I see any changes after using this serum for another month or two.

For someone who enjoys NZ Made products, this is a deluxe serum.

This product came in a glass bottle with a dropper cap. Its filled with little gold flakes and a goldish colour gel-like liquid. I dropped some of the liquid on my fingertips and massaged it into my skin. It absorbs easily and quickly. My first thought was that I might have a trace of gold glitter after applying, but was pleasantly surprised, it absorb wonderfully. A little goes a long way, so no need to apply too much. I quite like the product. It does leave your skin feeling softer and smoother. I have seen some difference in spots clearing up a lot faster than normal. This might have something to do with the Aloe Vera and anti-bacterial properties in the product. Overall I would recommend this product to friends and family.

This product is enriched with Gold flakes, Placenta, Collagen, Aloe Vera and Vitamen E.

A fabulous product. It's Lightweight & absorbs quickly into skin. I have been using this everynight after removing my make up and it feel lovely on my face. It has a subtle fragrance not over powering at all. Comes in a glass bottle with dropper attached for ease of use.... 30mls Made in New Zealand containing Honey, Gold Flakes, Collagen to name a few plus 10+UMF

Thank you for the opportunity to be able to trial ‘Alpine Silk Manuka Honey Serum’. I love the product and would highly recommend it! Its only been a few days, that I’ve been using it and I already see positive results. I predict that after long time use, it’ll give me softer and finer looking skin. Currently my face is not as dry looking and feeling and I have now found a best friend for my moisturizer. Side by side, they ease the appearance of my age nemesis: wrinkles. I like the creamy soft consistency of the product and I appreciate that it has no fragrance at all. I also like how easy it is to use, thanks to the handy squeezy drop application. With that feature, it gives me a good amount of control with the quantity I use. Which helps me follow what’s stated on the bottle: a small amount each use and in return, I think the 30ml serum, will last me months, which I think is great. I love the packaging and the embossed writing on the box and on the bottle. I love how the ‘directions of use’ is simple and straightforward. Last but not least, I love that its New Zealand made. For someone growing old, like me, I highly recommend this product to be part of others’ beauty regimen.

The packaging design was a bit fussy for my taste, I prefer more streamlined and simple product design. I'm also not super bowled over by the addition of the gold flakes, as I doubt they add significant therapeutic value, and I prefer plant based products over animal ones. The serum seemed to do a reasonable job, and a little definitely went a long way. It felt soothing as a base underneath my moisturiser. I would probably not but this product, but I suspect I'm not the target audience.
