Alpine Silk Manuka Honey Ultra Rejuvenating Serum Reviews

The serum looks nice when you put it on your skin, and has a nice texture. It gives it a glowing look where you have used it on your face. I found that it started to firm my skin but need more time to see if it works with fine lines.and wrinkes. Will definatly keep using it to see the efforts from it.

If your after silky smooth skin then this is the serum for you, now while I cant see any physical changes in my skin I can certainly feel how much smoother it is.

This is definately one I will continue to use!!

The product has a very natural look to the box and the bottle is clear glass with a dropper style. This natural look goes with the ingredients promoted by the product.

I loved that it was water based and absorbed into my skin quickly leaving no residue behind. I also loved the neutral smell which means I don’t have too many perfumed products on my face as I can be sensitive to these. Even though I couldn’t feel it on my face I was left with a feeling of freshness. The gold flakes made me nervous as I didn’t want to look like I had been crafting with my daughter but I didn’t have to worry, no sparkles lingered.

As for the results I feel the review time could have been longer to allow for differing delivery times giving a good opportunity to use the product. In saying that I’m sure I can see a difference in the fine lines around my eyes and I’m looking forward to using the rest of my product.

I was really thrilled to be trying a New Zealand product and would love to look more into the product range.

This serum is applied via a wand to the areas you wish to treat. It is a sticky consistency and the gold flakes are quite visible on the wand. I applied this to my problem areas (scars around my mouth, around my eyes and nose) and soothed it in with my fingers. Took a bit to get the hang of how much to apply but once I worked it out it was easy to get it right. At times the gold flakes stayed on my skin so I had to remove them individually as I didn't want to look like I was attending a school ball in the 90's under certain light and then apply my moisturiser if it was needed. Once the product was in and set, my skin felt tighter and visually looked better throughout the day. It didn't smell or leave a sticky residue or film. My sensitive skin didn't react angrily like most products. I really liked this product and was nice to be able to see results in such a short time.

I have tried this every day since receiving this, at this stage I think there has been a very slight improvement in some of my fine lines - I applied on my crows feet by my eyes, a slightly deeper line on my cheek, around my lips and on some forehead lines. Probably the noticeable result so far is the deep line on my cheek looks slightly reduced. Before making a decision as to whether it truly works and if I would purchase again, I think more time is needed. The serum is attractive with the gold flakes, and the serum felt nice to apply and was definitely fast absorbing. The bottle will last a long time since you only need a small amount on your troublesome areas.

I had quite a giggle to myself reading comments about the gold flakes such as "I didn’t want to look like I had been crafting with my daughter" and "I was concerned they would look like glitter on my skin" in the reviews below before grabbing this from the Beauty Vault.

My beauty therapist has been on at me to start using a serum on my combination skin and I'd just run out of the Alpine Silk Rosehip Oil which I loved and comes in the same gorgeous glass dropper bottle.

Being water based and oil free the serum was of an unexpected consistency. It dropped out in a single, gold flecked glob which I then smoothed into my skin, paying extra attention to areas where fine lines are appearing. The product has a subtle scent and absorbed nicely, with one rogue gold flake left on my cheekbone I didn't mind remaining there being an evening at home. My skin did feel replenished but I still needed moisturiser afterwards. I will definitely incorporate this into my daily routine.

I love waterbased face serums as oil based ones are just that: face oils, not serums. So I picked this up excitedly for a great price and I have used up a whole bottle of this and it didn’t break me out, wasn’t drying, definitely didn’t do any damage. But did it do anything good? I’m not sure, it felt nice and moisturising tapping it into my skin at night, but I haven’t noticed any lasting difference to my skin at all. I really liked the ingredients in it and the consistency was nice, dropper and glass packaging was luxurious, but when I ran out of it and just used my usual night cream there was no difference to my skin in the morning at all. I won’t repurchase and I’m glad I haven’t paid full price, sadly this just didn’t do anything for me or effects can’t be seen!?

I wasn't sure what to expect with this serum as I've never used any honey based skincare so this was a new thing for me.

The bottle has a soft squeeze top and dropper for dispensing the serum and was very easy to use. Most serums I have used in the past have been a slightly thicker consistency, so I was a bit surprised that this was more runny, almost a full liquid. However it had a pleasant texture and very little odour. Visually the serum was slightly milky with gold flecks throughout.

Because it was runny, I ended up using too much the first few applications, leaving my face a little greasy. But after I figured out the right amount to dispense, the product absorbed quickly, leaving my skin soft and comfortable, with no irritation. I mainly used it at night before bed as this is the most convenient way for me to use serum.

My skin continued to feel soft during the trial, but visually I didn't notice much difference. It may be that I needed more time using the product to see results, but with the time I had, results were minimal.

In the end, I would conclude that although this was a nice serum visually and feel wise, the lack of results meant I cannot recommend it.

This serum comes in a cute glass bottle with a dropper. I also liked the lovely bright yellow box it came in, it was eye catching and made me think of the sun and nature.

I was very attracted to the ingredients which reflect skin enhancing properties, like collagen and placenta, and aloe vera and vitamin C. I have been using it twice daily and find it quite nice. It is thick and clear, but absorbs quickly. It doesn't leave any sticky residue like some manuka honey products can. It leaves my skin feeling smooth and clear and ready for moisturiser.

I do giggle when I look closely and find a gold flake somewhere on my face. A small amount of sparkle - that probably looks like dust to anyone else! It doesn't matter, I love gold so I'm liking it.

Overall a pretty good product. I would use it again. I feel that it's a product that would show better results over a longer term.
